Today is the day, Folks. The Finale of Megaforce and the last new episode until Super Megaforce premieres in Febuary. We've been through alot with these Rangers and stuck by them for an entire year (Seemed like two with how Nick scheduales things, but that's another thread!).
How do you rate these Rangers? How do you rate the Story? How do you rate the Villians? How do you rate the Writing? How do you rate the lead-up into Super? How do you rate the Characters? How do you rate the Mechs and Weapons? Leave your opinions now! Go Go MegaForce! Last edited by Sentai; 11-30-2013 at 01:57 PM.. |

Over all I voted Good. It wasn't the worst season I've ever seen, Lord knows it wasn't Operation Overdriver or Jayden's Bowlcut. But it wasn't Mystic Force or Jungle Fury either.
The Rangers I'd rate like this: Troy gets himself a two. Poor. Compare him to Alata and he gets a Minus Billion, but compared to Jayden he gets a Plus Five. He just couldn't act. I'm sorry, he's stiffer then a dead body and just as emotionless. A perfect example is the last episode with Creepox/Dureputa. "Look in my eyes, do you see tears" No, Troy. No tears. But I don't see a soul either. Emma gets a four. She started horribly but she's really grown on me has more then a Eco-Sensitive Cliche'. I mean, shes's still that, but there's more there now to balance it out a little. Jake gets a four. He's become one of my favorites. Watching him fail with Gia at every turn is genuinelly funny, and that poor man has yet to finish a Smoothie. I'm glad he's part of this season. Gia gets a five and that shouldn't surprise anyone. Nothing to do with her being Gosei Yellow, everything to do with her. Ciara has been excellent with fans and Gia has become an amazing Yellow Ranger. I love her to no end. Noah gets a four. He's really grown over the past couple months and become more then the token nerd. The episode where he tries to be stronger and weilds Jake's axe is one of my favorites. RoboKnight gets a four. I hated his ass. I wanted to hate him forever. I wanted him to die, and continue dying, for my endless amusement. But then he had to become awesome. Yes he's a Captain Planet and Robocop bastard-child, but he's awesome still. The Story I'd rate five. It started slow, but now has snowballed towards the Finale has this giant ball of awesomesauce. Troy's visions (Which I hope they explain and just don't ignore when MF starts), Warstar, right down to the brand new Metal Alice American-Only footage. I love it all. The Villians. You have to ask? Five. Beyond Five. Much like Tensou Sentai Goseiger before it, Vrak/Bureduran No Comet/Bureduran No Chupacabra/Bure-RUN/Brajira of the Messiah is the absolute joy of the villians. His voice acting is just amazing, his character is just as much a bastard as he was in Goseiger. So damned smooth. And I pray to Gosei that he's in alot of Super Megaforce. And it's not just my mancrush on Vrak, either. All the villians were excellent. Yes, Creepox wasn't has absolute badass as he was in Goseiger. But Metal Alice was more badass. Malkor was excellent. The voice acting for villians this season has just been wonderful. I loved them all. The writing has been a three, for me. Honestly. It's been getting so much better, but it started off so My God Ears Are Bleeding! Horrible. But they really hit their stride with the coming of SMF. Especially with the Armada, making Vrak part of their Royal Family, the Messenger. Metal freaking Alice. The leadup to Super? Oh that's a five. Especially recently. The Characters get a two just because you hardly see anyone from the school anymore. That teacher only got a cameo when Vrak brought the Warstar ship down, Ernie was in a goodbit of the Halloween episode but nothing hardly before or since. They went from focusing on the school to "They're in school? Since when?". The Mechs and Weapons. Five. If that surprises you, at all, you haven't been paying enough attention |

Rangers -
Red - 3 kindof bland, hope he will be a little more like Marvelous next season(even a little would be great) Pink - 3.5 she did have great episodes for her, but when the episode did not feature her she didn't stand out much Blue - 3.5 He is a token nerd but had a better personality then troy Black - 4 he and Gia where the most fun to watch Yellow- 4 same as jack those two where fun to watch Robo Knight- 3.9 I don't hate his voice, just it was annoying to see him go on about how he didn't understand humans, But when he wanted to be he was a total bad*** Story- 3.5 Not to many surprises, but not much wasted time in the short 20 episodes and had a great ending Villains - I agree with Sentai, Vark and the gang were great, they didn't have any bumbling idiots and they did try to best the rangers Writing - 2 I blame the writing for Troy, I feel the actor could have done a better job but with some chessy lines and not much screen time for our leader he feels like a reverse Daigo lead-up into Super-5 I can't wait for Super MegaForce next year, ending with an army invading was awesome Characters-2 they were fun but hardy saw any of them Zords and Weapons- 5 when ever the rangers get there own weapons, and combine them it is always a win for me and the Zords where great, but needed more screen time

I think this show can be summed up in this quote.
You're hard to love but you're harder to hate.

great season, it wasn't perfect, but it was very enjoyable and made goseiger actually watchable for me
for the most part the cast was good, outside of gia, even troy who was the weakest of the other 4 got better as the show went along, and lord knows he is still 10 times better than that twerp alata bring on super megaforce

I'll be using the "1-10" rating system for this one.
I got back into Power Rangers during the last few episodes of Samurai. I was unimpressed by that show but looked forward to this new season...but, when I saw episode 1, I was so embarrassed by how bad it was that I had to start watching them when no one else was home. It got better slowly but surely as Samurai did (according to reviews), and it's not as awful as some people say Samurai, Turbo and Overdrive are (I need to watch those three to the fullest before I can properly judge them.), but it isn't as good as the season it tried to emulate/rip off (at least early on) or Dino Thunder. Hell, even Mystic Force was better. Megaforce itself, it did get better towards the end, but it wasn't the best season. I rate it a 6.5. The rangers are as follows. Troy is very bland and emotionless and I HATE that in a Ranger, and I do fully believe he was hired because he was a pretty face (as he IS a model). He doesn't hold a candle to Jason. He had his moments of being cool, but they weren't enough. I'm ashamed that he'll act as Marevelous' counterpart in America and he's no Alata. He's a 3 at best to me. Noah isn't bad, he's not the copy/paste Billy that he was in episode one, and I've grown to like him. Sucks that he didn't get a "green" counterpart for one episode. Not even Jordan as Gosei Green's counterpart? Hmph. Anyway, Noah is better than I expected him to be, and I find him interesting enough. Hell, I like him better than I like Billy so far. Noah gets himself a 6. He's not the badasses that Hyde and Joe are, but he's good. I can appreciate that Jake wasn't trying to emulate Zack, or at least, not in any ways I could detect. And I can't find any hints of Adam (though, I haven't gotten to his part in MMPR, so, I can't compare them properly). He's funny enough and his attempts on Emma are fun to watch and heartwarming at times. I hope he and Noah switch colors, since it would make more sense for Noah to be the Green Ranger, or at least, to follow his sentai counterpart's mannerisms. Not quite like his two Sentai counterparts, but he gets a 6 like Noah. Emma and Gia...oh lord, I love these two. Emma seemed a bit preachy with her eco-sensitive personality at times, but it wasn't as bad as Kimberly's stereotypical mall-rat personality early on. I also must commend her for her singing (if that really was Emma's voice singing way back during that episode.) She suffers from being a bit bland during ranger scene dubs as all rangers here do, but I liked her anyway. And Gia is just a badass and I love her. She takes charge when Troy isn't around, she was a total boss who commanded respect on the battlefield when unmorphed...infact, why wasn't SHE made leader? Anyway, her interactions with Emma are sweet. And her "love triangle" was fun. (I'm rooting for you to get her, Robo Knight). They compare well to their Sentai counterparts and I think the ladies will fit in as Gokai Yellow and Pink just fine. They get an 8. Robo Knight, as I have said many times before is the redeeming quality for any Megaforce episode to me. I liked the Robocop style voice and just how wide eyed and curious he was before the library episode, and yes, I still liked him after the rap. That was funny, don't even kid yourself. Besides, he's not anywhere near the badness that was Alpha 6. Funny how he was more emotional than Troy ever was, though. Anyway, I loved Robo Knight, he was an excellent sixth Ranger and fairly badass and funny. I can't compare him to Gosei Knight yet and he won't need to be compared to Gokai Silver (unless he really IS turning human to become Super Megaforce Silver.). Robo Knight, you get an 8 and I am eager to see you and the ladies of Megaforce in the next season. This post is already long and rambly, so I'll sum it up quickly. Creepox seems like a wasted potential and seems to miss his counterpart's badassery. Malkor seems underdeveloped but I liked his final battle, Vrak was an interesting villain and I loved how they tied him in as the Prince's (Prince Warz) brother. A shame they never used the Samurai crossover to sell "Evil Jayden" toys and see a Xandred form of Vrak. Oh well, maybe in Super Megaforce. None of them hold a candle to Mesogog though. Mesogog will always be my favorite villain in Power Rangers, but that's another story. Creepox gets a 3, Malkor gets a 6 and Vrak gets a 7. The season was good, but there are better ones out there. I like the theme song better than the original 'redux' Samurai version, only three of the Rangers are anything to write home about, Tensou and Gosei were better than I expected (Tensou is better than Alpha, and Gosei compares well to his mentor), the villains were great and I look forward to Super Megaforce, but I'm still hoping that Troy will have to go to a peace conference and hand his key over to Jordan or someone better. 6/10. I recommend it for Robo Knight and the lady rangers. |
