So I gave Super another chance as this is the tribute to my favourite season and a lot of the reactions to this episode have been pretty positive...but...well...why? It was so bad, and once again about the only good stuff that came from this, came from Gokaiger.

This whole episode was a pathetic representation of Casey, and a muddled representation of the series it was supposed to be tributing. I mean they bothered to establish a specific stance and style for both Emma and Jake...only to not shoot a single clip of them actually applying that during the fight? Also lol Phoenix "animal" spirit. And what is all this shit about no weapons fighting? Since when? What the hell does any of this have to do with Jungle Fury?

It also happened way too quickly, and with the amount that happened over such a short space of time took all the impact away from everything and made it feel ridiculously contrived. Especially Troy's crisis of faith or whatever the fuck that was supposed to be.

And even with the good Gokaiger footage, moments like when Gia turned into a version of an....already female Ranger who never had a skirt...the hell? I know "sentai footage" but if there is no in show reason then in terms of Power Rangers it's a plot hole.

In Power Rangers Jungle Fury, even the monsters had animal spirits. Camille gained the Spirit of the Phoenix along with her Chameleon Animal Spirit when she became a Phantom Beast General. Jarrod gained a Griffin Animal Spirit when he became the Phantom Beast King, an I think Dai Shi (not Jarrod) had a Dragon Animal Spirit.

Dai Shi was the Hydra, I think. Or just a normal eight-headed Dragon. I need to watch JF again to be sure. But you're absolutely right. And Phoenix's have important cultural roles in societies across the globe. So it may not be 'real', but. And it also makes sense since her animal in Megaforce was the Phoenix.

It's also a kids program and you might be over-thinking it just a little :lol

Um... how exactly is Gia having a skirt as Wild Force Yellow a plot hole?

Yeah, in terms of Gokaiger, it'd still be a plot hole.

No, even then it's still not a plot hole. It's just a continuity error.

Why are you being so pedantic? I apologise, I should have said "continuity error" and not "plot hole", but that doesn't change the fact that Gia becomes a female version of a female Ranger, who never had a skirt, but does in this. Which makes no sense in the context of this franchise.

Considering they shoot so many pointless scenes of the Megaforce Rangers stood around in their Goseiger outfits, and they did shit like edit in OO Red into the line up and stuff, why leave that in? It's that weird attention to detail in one area, then a complete lack of it in another that is easily the worst part of this show.

The skirt thing isn't an issue though. In Gokaiger when they Gokai Changed into a particular suit, it conformed to that particular Gokaiger's gender. So like that one occasion when Marvelous became Pterra Ranger it became a male bodied suit with no skirt. Likewise in the source footage of this episode when Luka changed into Gao Yellow a skirt was on the costume because it conformed to the characters gender.

So in context here it more or less plays out the same. When they become a ranger of another gender it conforms to the user, not the original costume.

That just isn't true. In Gokaiger, female suits without skirts don't magically grow them when they're changed into them with a key. Deka, Geki etc etc So in the context of Power Rangers, Wild Force yellow was a female ranger without a skirt, so in terms of continuity of both the source footage AND the continuity of Power Rangers, Wild Force yellow should have no skirt.

Let me get this straight... no one is mentioning the slight editing error that was the Turboranger appearance in A Lion's Alliance, but we are complaining about Wild Force Yellow having a skirt?!
