Ignoring the angel theme is understandable...But ignoring the Pirate theme is kind, eh... I mean the Megazord looks like a frickiing big Pirate robot! Imagine how, Gosei will explain that to them.

Gosei: "Zordon banned me from the Morphing Grid after that Operation Overdrive incident, so I had to pirate these powers."

See what I did there? :p

The pirate theme and the angel theme are different beasts though. In Goseiger, the suits are not angel-themed and the mecha are standard animals. All they had to do is cut a scene with wings here and feathers there and they were done. It was relatively easy to accomplish because while the show had the angel theme, the suits and powers didn't necessarily look angelic.

Gokaiger is completely different. The suits are pirate suits, they fight with sabres and pistols. Their morpher and team symbol is a stylised skull and crossbones. The main component of their mecha is a pirate ship and their mecha wears a pirate hat. The Ranger Keys are inside a treasure chest. Gozyujin and Gokai Silver's symbol is an anchor. Gokai Silver's Gold Mode is created by a key in the shape of an anchor. Their combined weapon is in the shape of a pirate ship.

You can't just ignore it easily like you could with Goseiger. I expect them to just not mention or point it out or for them to give maybe one line explaining it. After Megaforce, is anyone expecting much thought being put into Super Megaforce?
Gokaiger was brilliant. It was an amazing anniversary series and in my opinion, pretty damn perfect in every way. I know I won't get that in Super Megaforce, so I'm just going to be happy with having Gokaiger. Maybe an episode or two will surprise me in Super Megaforce, but I expect it to be as fumbled as badly as when they tried to take Carranger footage seriously. The confirmation that it'll be still set in high school confirms that any pirate connection storywise will be thin at most.

So we're pretty much screwed, then? :p

:lol

Not necessarily.

saban work hard on pr super megaforce - I want see 6 heroes [goseiger] get past ranger powers and cat chase tesou around base

I think the Gokaiger suits are awesome, pirates was actually something original for the franchise...then it turns out they're barely using the suits and are probably not touching on the pirate thing at all. :( I hope in the future we get a pirate themed show that isn't also a tribute series.

That's what I wanted. I was hoping the Goseiger footage would use all the tribute aspects and then we'd get a season of straight pirate footage. I guess that would be too much effort to refilm though.

Eh. Outside of Gokaiger's civilian clothes and Marvelous acting like a douche, Gokaiger didn't make much use of the pirate theme, either.

Well, part of the point of the show was that they called themselves pirates, but were clearly heroes and not pirates at all, while Basco played the pirate thing straight. It was highlighted in multiple episodes, starting with Dekaranger tribute.

And the hunting the universe for the greatest treasure thing, too. I don't see how they could've gotten much more use out of it, given it was an anniversary season. It definitely could never get as much focus as samurai did in Shinkenger, I think what we got was great.
