Article goes live in the morning, but what are your top 5 items from Super Sentai that were never adapted in to Power Rangers?

I said it before, I'll say it again: All the Sentai-Exclusive Legendary Ranger Morphs from Gokaiger that got edited out of Super Megaforce.
One of the best parts of SMF is the Legendary Ranger Morphs, and seeing Sentai-Exclusive Rangers for the very first time in America, that makes it even cooler. But unfortunately, we don't get most of 'em 'cause either they're replaced with original footage filmed exclusively for SMF, or just cut completely, and that also goes for those Legendary Sixth Ranger Morphs that got edited out of Silver Linings Parts 1 and 2. Personally, I think Shout! Factory should capitalize on America finally getting Sentai-Exclusive Rangers by doing what they did when they released the Japanese Transformers G1 Seasons and release the Japan-Only Super Sentai seasons, including all the Pre-Zyuranger seasons from Gorenger to Jetman, PLUS Dairanger AND Kakuranger, since only part of those seasons were adapted for MMPR Seasons 2, 3 and Alien Rangers. Plus, since each season of Power Rangers goes for under $20 individually, if they did release the Sentai-Exclusive seasons here, it'd be a lot cheaper to get them here than elsewhere.

As someone who came late in the game to the Sentai series, I feel like the biggest misses come in every series.
I actually literally feel offended at the attempts to white wash each Sentai series into what is dribbled in the US. I think it dumbs down the creativity, it insults the intelligence of the very demographic that it is trying to sell to (I'm not talking adults I'm talking the boys aged 8-12 that this is for. An eight year old would completely be able to not only understand, but maybe get more out of a Sentai series than they would a Power Rangers one), and it teaches stereotypes and nationalism in the worst way. I showed my nephew some of the Sentai series since he was a Power Rangers fan. He's 11, and he LOVED it. LOVED IT. With subtitles and all. I get it to an extent. US rules and compliance, parents with guns in their hands too uptight about their kids seeing people on tv with guns in their hands but not too uptight to let them watch a violent movie, etc. It's hard to NOT be on a soapbox about everything wrong sometimes. I am a parent and I would argue though that not only are the Sentais more mature for kids, but they're classier. Story wise, all of the misses of the shows listed are correct. Dairanger was dismissed, and while I understand why they wouldn't adapt Gobusters, it is a damn shame, and a slap to the intelligence of those who get it. Haim Saban gets a lot of !@#@ for having to do what he does to even get a Japanese series adapted so that kids can watch something historic, and yes, the Sentai and Kamen Rider series can actually be identified as historical references both culturally and in media. But I wish that we didn't have to resort to this nonsense to see a kids show that other countries aren't as uptight about. tl;dr: Parents, teach your kids that Power Rangers originated from Super Sentai and make them watch that instead. Maybe they'll learn Japanese, maybe they'll read better with subtitles, maybe they'll realize there's more to the world than the Walmart down the road and the McDonalds across from their school.

Aside from Dairanger's suits, I think I'm gonna go with Kakuranger's characters. They didn't have to copy and paste them, but I think the Alien Rangers would have been a lot more tolerable if they were the same jokey bunch of idiots as the Kakurangers.

I wish Beast-Demon Hunter from the GoGoV movie was used.

You know what would've been an awesome move? Use the suit for Ryan. I mean, they had to make new footage for him, but by using that suit, they could've had footage of him at least being able to work with the others.

Datas, yet they show him combined with Gosei Great Megazord. No Mystic Brothers at all, yet we get one episode with Gosei Wonder. And no Goseiger v Shinkenger, yet we get a single episode with Jayden and Master Ji. Datas Mystic Brothers Goseiger v Shinkenger Jetman Is my list. |

what i really disliked in MF is that they added Tensou so they could have a alpha-5 clone and we got a wall-e rip-off when they could have just use the datas suit for the exact same purpose

I don't understand how Datas didn't fit the bill for their Alpha. It really doesn't make any sense to me how they just omitted him so blatantly. Why create this ridiculously stupid CG robot when you could have just used a pre-existing suit.
