So you mean to tell me that Troy could have possibly died by Vrak tryin to get the Wild Sword/Zord, and he is being shocked all to hell, yet his teammates are barely whispering "Go for it! You can do it Troy!"

i thought it was a pretty good episode. It was definitely Power Rangers cheesy fun and I didn't expect anything more than the usual formula. Loved getting to see their home base quite a bit more. Troy looking over the "keys" in reflection was a cool way of reminding the audience of the Ranger War coming and the many different rangers that came before.
I wonder if the Gosei Green suite will be used in any shape or form? Maybe by Tommy in some weird way to introduce the silver ranger? Last edited by botmarley; 09-15-2013 at 09:14 PM.. Reason: added signature |

Is it wrong that I keep thinking "Angel Grove in the 80s was cooler than this" every time I see their 'city'?
I don't know, I watched it, then watched it again. The acting...its starting to improve, but that's like the equivalent of saying that a thing with legs is now a chair. And yes, I expected Gosei to start screaming "I just cleaned this lair!". Now...if we could just work on the Engrish translations. Wild Sword? Really? At least I've got farting dinosaurs to look forward to this week. Man...my quality of sentai is just going on a downward spiral. |

This was probably my favorite episode of MegaForce I think everyone was really strong this episode and I loved them all dancing at the end. Jake is so my favorite ranger in this and probably my favorite Ranger since Ziggy.

At least the Goseiger fights are good, and I can see them without having to actually watch through Goseiger.

Anyway, I haven't seen this episode yet, but I'm a bit suspect on all these "excellent" reviews, because I can't see Megaforce managing that, but hopefully I'll be happily surprised. Last edited by Starscream Gaga; 09-16-2013 at 08:40 PM.. |

I voted it "Good" because it was.
However! The Megaforce Rangers promised us "More civilian fights!" this year. So far we have had 2 civilian fights in 11 total episodes. I think this is why we aren't connecting with the cast of Megaforce. 1) Opening intro with bad guys explaining today's plot 2) Intro 3) Civilian Rangers at school doing nothing important to the plot 4) Danger! Civilian Rangers go running! 5) Sometimes stock morph, sometimes insta-morph 6) 90% Sentai footage, 10% NZ footage 7) Quick 35 second exit clip before/during credits Rinse repeat every week.

Okay. I haven't watched this episode yet. I just haven't got around to watching the last few yet yet. Everyone keeps talking about this dance party though but I have a feeling I'm visualizing it to be way more exciting than it's going to be. Anyway, from what I've seen of Megaforce I've liked it okay but primarily because it's not Goseiger word for word and I think the cast is exceptionally pretty...which brings me to my next point...if they don't want to have much substance since all they really aim to do is get a kid's attention why can't they at least utilize the talent a bit more since it is there. and by "utilize the talent" I mean...why not have Jake at soccer practice with his shirt off once in a while. Maybe Troy could go jogging with a tank top. Gia could be a cheerleader and they could loosely adapt that similar characterization from Moune. and they could have done this in Samurai more too. I mean, back in the day Kimberly was doing flips with a skirt on and nearly all the girls bared their midriff and the boys always wore tank tops to school even though no school would ever allow that. and let's not even talk about Divatox's cleavage, and this wasn't just a 90s thing either...they had no problems giving Tenaya a sexed up outfit in RPM.
I'm not trying to sound like a creep or anything and saying it needs more sex so please don't think that, I would definitely prefer substance over sexuality any day but it just feels like a wasted a opportunity to just not utilize what they DO have. Take Samurai as an example. Their best episodes were when they took advantage of what the actors could do well. IE...Mia and her concert episode, Jayden was decent at martial arts, and Emily and Mike had decent chemistry, and Lauren had good emotional depth, and Kevin in his speedo .

Eh, in my summary, Megaforce is pretty embarrassingly bad, even by Power Rangers standards. It was cheesy and the acting does seem to be improving a bit, but this plot seems horribly rushed. Did it take only one episode for the Goseigers to recieve the Abare Sword or whatever it was called in the Sentai?
Yeah, this plot idea seems like something that should have taken until the mid-way point of a longer season with rangers we had more time to invest in. Hell, the best actor in this whole show seems to be the monotone robot. It was a below average episode at best, and it makes me fear for what they will do with Gokaiger's plot elements when the time comes... |
