More points to touch on:
- I know a lot of people have given reasons or ways to go ahead and keep the "wings" on the Goseigers ... it won't happen. Even if they explain it as something else, it's going to scream "ANGELS" which screams "RELIGION" which screams "PREJUDICE SOMEHOW" in the eyes of over-zealous parents. - If you wonder how they can adapt something that doesn't seem Western-friendly, they won't adapt it. Seriously. Just how it works. Is there a scene in Goseiger that you're not sure how they can bring it over without it being offensive? It won't be here. That's how it works. Get used to it. - ....this show is still going to be a direct-translation for the most part, with all parts "angelic" cut out. - Gosei Green either won't be included at all, or will have his backstory entirely changed. |

Just the idea of angel PR is so cool though. Shame...

I'm really hoping that they do more changes to the story than just remove any angel references, but I'm not holding my breath after Samurai.

I really don't mind a direct translation that is executed well, with good writing. Dialogue should be rephrased to be more natural in English, even if they say the same things as in Goseiger. In the end, if we get another Time Force style translation, that would be perfectly acceptable. I hope it's more original than that though.

And I specifically said "general BS&P." Never claimed otherwise.
Again, no one lost their brains over the many (many) angels on Digimon, a show which in its prime was substantially more popular than Power Ranger is now AND aimed at a younger audience AND on broadcast OTA TV and not cable. Angels do not "SCREAM RELIGION" any more than demons, ghosts, or witches, all of which we have had on PR with no issue whatsoever. Angels are at the point now where they are just another type of mythological creature. And really, when you get down to the nitty gritty, they can just call them "Guardian Angels," a term so generic that no one bats an eye at it's use.

Saban Brands is trying to get Power Rangers back to the whole "helping kids be good people as they grow up" thing that they lost touch with sometime after the Zordon-era. Adding in death, more violence, realistic guns, and a swear word or two is not going to help them get back to that point, even if the older fans (which are not part of the demographic or make a realistic dent in anything sales-related or ratings-related thanks to the Internet) desire it so.
