I'm happy about Jiraiya being in Power Rangers.

I mean, when the entire season has had a lot of stinkers and bad writing, people generally don't want to see things they actually like get bad writing

Hit the nail right on the head for me. It's not that some of us didn't WANT the Metal Heroes to be adapted into Power Rangers, we just didn't want the season for them to be adapted into to be Ninja Steel.

If we're using Sentai footage there isn't a lot to go with though. There was Gavan / Gokaiger (assuming they could get movie footage) which would probably have been horrible in Super Megaforce. There is also Gavan / Kyuranger which could still happen in the future.

There's a two parter of Gavan / Go-Busters, we could see that in Beast Morphers.

This is already an adaptation of Ninninger, and basically everyone besides me hates that show even though its mostly just really average (much like Ninja Steel actually). So I'm not entirely sure where you want Jiraiya to show up with good writing. Keep in mind the episode this is based on is a farcical "respect yer elders" message where Jiraiya spends most of the episode stuck to Takamaru's back.

And yeah they didn't actually have to use this episode at all, they could have filled it out with the Dracula or Yuki-onna episodes, which didn't actually have to be skipped at all. This is entirely a shout out to the people who like Japanese Toku, they are going above and beyond to do this.

People will still care about if it gets written well or not, which they aren't confident about. This is like saying "Oh, you wanted a game to tie the plot of Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion together but hated Other M? They did it for you, don't whine!". Granted my example was something people didn't hate until after it came out. People just aren't confident something they like will be handled well, if this was adapting Drive I'd be incredibly worried too

Well be happy it's Jiraiya & not Kamen Rider Drive.

Main thing is that you shouldn't whine about it like its the end of the world, even if it does end up bad. Its not like Jiraiya being in Ninja Steel automatically ruins Jiraiya somehow. That is a big difference in your comparison, as for a while Other M was just a plain embarrassment that actively tried to undo things that fans liked, and pretended that a trilogy of fan favorite games didn't exist. This "ruins" Jiraiya in the same way that every use of a suit does in Power Rangers, if its dumb and bad we can make fun of it later, but Jiraiya is still Jiraiya.

What DOES ruin Jiraiya is not having a proper DVD release, and as such no subs to watch. That's probably more worth being upset over.

You know I think I'll just shut up as you're clearly not accepting the fact people have no reason to expect decent writing and aren't looking forward to a bad adaptation which can be influential for the franchise later on
