To be fair though...so did Shinkenger, it was very Japanese but only really very Japanese as according to an American audience who has discovered Japan through anime, I can think of very few aspects of Shinkenger that were uniquely Japanese and something only a person with an understanding of Japanese culture would include.

Shinkenger was still truer to Samurai tradition, even though they both were a bit fairy-tale like in their ideas of Samurai. For a good example, compare the episodes in which ShinkenGold decides to spare Juuzo. In Samurai, Antonio was totally awesome for showing honour by not attacking a defenceless evil dude, which made him a true samurai. In Shinkenger, Genta was reprimanded for not following the Samurai path and sparing an enemy and in the end Genta came to terms with the fact he won't follow Samurai tradition. The two had completely different views of the samurai ways of life.

Not in any good way. The worst effect was the "True Red" plotline being one big brain tumor because there was no reason for any of the characters (who acted as if the reveal had been the same as in Shinkenger, even though it wasn't) to do any of the things they did in the last 5 or so episodes and they all just came across as huge dicks because there was no reason not to accept Lauren or Jaden to leave, while there was a lot more reasons for them to be upset in Shinkenger and for Takeru to leave.

soooo...am i the only one who could care less about power rangers?
the acting is always horrendous, even if they somehow managed to make a decent show i would never be able to get passed the first few episodes due to the production of it. i think samurai was the breaking point for me, the show was cringe worth for me...i cant even bring myself to watch passed the opening for megaforce the only thing im excited about coming from the pirate themes is releases of merch that i missed out on during their initial run as sentai and other cool little things that will pop up that share the atheistic looks as for pirates themes, i doubt they will even bother to elaborate on it. its just a new toy for them to sell Last edited by rego; 07-25-2013 at 08:17 PM.. |

A "pirate" theme would work if they had anyone involved in the series that cared about the anniversary and the history.
Example: A group of 5 "space pirates" from the planet KO-35 head to Earth as the Legendary Power Ranger Andros, before he went missing, described an immense "treasure" on the planet. They head to Earth with a collection of "Ranger Keys", not knowing hardly anything about them except they can switch their powers to the powers of these keys. Upon landing on Earth, which just happens to be invaded by the Machine Empire (having reformed by Prince Gasket, who is now uber upgraded), the Pirate Rangers run in to Legendary Power Rangers, the original holders of the powers that are now keys, and help the Pirate Rangers unlock new powers to defeat the Machine Empire as they continue to look for this "amazing treasure". They meet the Silver Ranger, who would be the son/nephew of a former Power Ranger, who would teach them everything about Power Rangers history as they continue to fight the Machine Empire. By the end of the series, they learn that the "amazing treasure" that Andros spoke of is none other than the fact that ordinary people take on the power to defend the planet from evil. Now understanding that treasure, they decide to take the battle to the Machine Empire once and for all, and give up various keys to Legendary Power Rangers (Tommy, etc.) who fight in the ultimate battle to defeat the Machine Empire. After winning, they head towards the parts of space still controlled by the Machine Empire, vowing to uphold the legacy of the Power Rangers and to protect not just the Earth, but the entire universe, from the forces of evil. I should write for the show.

The Silver Ranger be the son of a former Ranger? Make it the half-Aquitian son of Billy and you've got a deal.
Yeah, that's what I want to see, anyway. That and Green to be a Xybrian like Trip. Too bad that won't happen. |
