alien rangers is stupid - jon t ruied toei 's kakuranger series
jon t want 6 power rangers have ninja zords 1st inteed shogun zords
why jon t bring back titinus for mmpr s3

I never saw the ninja zords coming before the Shogun zords as a problem. In the context of the Power Rangers' arsenal progression, going from robot animals to humanoid robots with animal faces makes far more sense than the opposite.

in kakuranger series
shogun zords come 1st
ninja zords come 2nd

Yeah but what does it matter what happened in the sentai? Seriously, I'm sorry, but it really annoys me.

Yes Power Rangers uses Sentai Footage but they are two completely different shows and you have no obligation to recognise or respect Sentai as a Power Rangers fan and no one should pressure you into thinking otherwise.

I hate this attitude that the Sentai originals are some kind of God you should be sacrificing virgins to.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

I had hoped that Power Rangers fans would be less fickle than Transformers fans. Alas, it seems that I'm wrong. Look, I don't like Jonathan Tzachor either, but I really don't care what some rumors say, I'm saving my judgment for Super Megaforce. Even if the season does end up sucking, at least we have the toys to fall back on.

This. So much this.

Especially considering that many Sentai aren't all that good, anyway.

True.
The Fiveman Puppets anyone?
Or Zyuranger's Kid of the Week?

Yeah they act like Super Sentai is the high art version of Power Rangers, largely ignoring Super Sentai is just as likely to be rammed with filler, child friendly nonsense, poor plotting and in most cases they have much more inferior tech to edit and shoot their footage.

I'm not saying one is worse than the other but Super Sentai snobbery and the near bullying of Power Rangers fans to kneel before the Super Sentai originals really really angers me.

It's honestly the exact same thing I encountered during my otaku days.
"It's Japanese, so it's obviously the better product" Was a mentality that I saw quite often, ignoring all flaws and errors, regardless of how large, just because it's the Japanese show.

And vice versa irritates me. Well, not vice versa, just talking about Power Rangers in general.

I can personally say I've never met Power Rangers elitists, from my experiences Power Rangers fans largely keep to themselves while they get hounded by Super Sentai elitists. Although I am sure it happens the other way round.

That is largely what put me off of anime, maybe that is petty on my part, but you can't really watch those shows without dragging the culture behind it and I despised the culture with all my being.

If talking about Power Rangers irritates you, then why do you intentionally go around talking about PR?

It's like me kicking down the door to the KR Decade appreciation club and expecting to not get pissed off from what I see and hear :lol

I hate those kind of people as well, just because you have the freedom of speech, doesn't mean you should go running around spreading your hate.

Because I am powerless over bold text.

Speaking of which, thank god there isn't a Decade appreciation thread :lol

I can understand that. To me, it's the overhyping of anime as a whole that get me out of it, since none of them lived up to the standards and expectations set for me by everyone who watched them.

In any other season of Power Rangers, I'd be forgiving and kind of non-chalant about production desicions. But in a 20th Anniversary season where the company APPROACHED the fans to hype it up? Taking an easy and cheap route seems "slap in the face", and to excuse people being upset as "omg whiny fans" is rather offensive and hypocritical.

There is once again the whole notion that anime is just high-brow cartoons, once again ignoring all the faults and the fact that often anime is just as outsourced as cartoons are but they have smaller budgets to begin with so it's even more poorly animated as well.

Not that one is better than the other but are weaboos really so insecure that they have to ram their shows into peoples faces who are just trying to mind their own business?

They are the internet equivalent of those callers who want to talk about Jesus.

This. Just this.

Everytime I watch any Sentai show on Youtube, there's always people bashing on Power Rangers and they always seem to feel the need to patronize anybody who loves PR regardless of its flaws as well as saying on how Super Sentai is far better than Power Rangers in almost everything despite of the fact there're two very separate franchises where one of the only things they have in common is the use of the action footage and that SS are not without their problems as well. Then again, this is the kind of thing I should expect out of a lot of Youtube commenters and I am a bit of an idiot for expecting some form of maturity from at least a little more than half of the people of that site. :/

Personally, I think that not everything in Super Sentai is better than Power Rangers. Hell, there are actually several things in where Power Rangers are, arguably, better than Super Sentai. This is kind of attitude that a lot of Sentai fans seem to have I wanted to avoid in having especially since Power Rangers actually played a huge part in my childhood and I still love this franchise even in this day and age and I have absolutely no regrets in having a season and a half on DVD nor having every season up until Megaforce, since it's currently ongoing, on Netflix instant viewing queue and you can be sure as hell that I'll watch the remaining episodes of Megaforce and all of Super Megaforce once they air and even if the episodes do end up being crappy nor is it even in the standards of their better seasons, it will not change my overall view of the franchise.

I have honestly felt this a lot. I am a major Power ranger fan and I will admit I have not been able to catch as much sentei as Id like to but at the same time I dont find TOO much of a reason to go out of my way to check out sentei when I enjoy rangers so much but I dont get why I have to be belittled and bullied for it

saban want new cast for pr zeo
carlos as zeo red ranger 5
tayna as zeo yellow ranger 2
rocky as zeo blue ranger 3
tj as zeo green ranger 4
cassie as zeo pink ranger 1
justin as zeo gold ranger 6
tommy as mentor

....what?no. just no. no

what i fail to grasp is why SS is so great? every other series seems to have some arbitrary dimension/parallel universe/other planet where the living mecha come from to bond with humans to save the day. (ie abarangers and go onger/rpm)

jonathan t falut - he ruied pr zeo series
i want warrior from anceiet country name paraaraa to join pr zeo

i strongly disagree. nothing about zeo was ruined that i can recall. that series was awesome and thank god wasnt a hash of ohranger

Yeah, I hate it when they do straight Sentai adaptations given the different cultures and laws, a straight sentai adaptation can't help but be watered down.

That is why the series that do something new and imaginative with the footage go down as the greatest series.

Also, who the hell wants every version of sentai just with American actors?

Eh, I've only seen a few seasons of Super Sentai and all of Power Rangers and I'd be lying if I haven't noticed that from what I've seen Super Sentei always has better character development and plotting from what I've seen except for exceptional seasons like Time Force. I think people are sometimes just biased to one or the other, rather then watching them both and coming to conclusions based on that. I enjoy Power Rangers a lot, don't get me wrong, but I probably prefer Super Sentai when it all comes down to it. Maybe I just haven't watched any of the duds yet, but Super Sentai is definitely my preferred version in all the cases I've seen and I think that as a Power Rangers fan ignoring where the the show comes from is somewhat ignorant and annoying. I don't think there's a reason to bash either version though, especially when some of the seasons are just completely different entities to their Power Rangers equivalent.

And yeah, bad things happen when they just try to straight adapt, I like them doing their own thing.

Check out PR's various facebook pages then. Ignorance is pretty much somewhere in the comments on every post.

Why is it ignorant for someone to not want to acknowledge a completely different show and franchise? Just because of the same fight footage, doesn't make them the same show and if you don't want to watch Super Sentai no one should make you feel like you have to. That isn't 'annoying' it's just the truth.

Not watching =/= Not acknowledging that it exists.

You can not watch something, but not be ignorant to the fact that it exists and the show originates from other shows, which is what I find annoying. The people who absolutely ignore the existence of Super Sentai are what bothers me, I couldn't care less about the people who prefer not to watch it.

I acknowledge the footage comes from Super Sentai and that is where I end it.

I don't care how Super Sentai did it, what characters they had, what changes were made.

Power Rangers is a separate show, completely unrelated.

Why?

Why should a Power Ranger fan who doesn't have any interest in Sentai have to acknowledge it?
It's almost never brought up when a Sentai fan doesn't acknowledge PR. It's an unfair double standard.

Because the majority of what happens in Power Rangers is based off of what happens in Super Sentai, you have to be really ignorant to ignore the existence of something that pretty much controls what's going to be coming in Power Rangers. It's also usual that some sort of respect or acknowledgement is given to original incarnations of everything, which is surprisingly lacking in some PR fandom.

I don't mind people watching just PR or just SS, its when people do things like whine about the Figuart Tigerranger not having a female body or Kibaranger not having a "Tommy" head accessory or when fanart was posted on the PR Facebook page of Tyrannoranger, AbareRed and Kyoryured and people were accusing the artist of putting in a "Fanmade character" or the people saying that Gokaiger was stupid for not having more Zyuranger (or "MMPR") over anything else is when it bothers me.

doggie c is same in spd/dekaranger

Sentai isn't the original, it's just where the footage came from.

Power Rangers isn't an adaptation, a remake or a sequel, it's its own show. Even when lifting stories, it still isn't Super Sentai because it's born from an entirely different culture and set of rules.

The same fight footage is where the connections end.

That's completely not true. Like, at all. I guess Zyuranger and MMPR both didn't have a Dinosaur theme to the suits? Dekaranger and SPD weren't both about police? Magiranger and Mystic Force didn't both involve wizardry? GoGoV and Lightspeed Rescue weren't both about rescue forces?

Come on. Yes, they are separate entities but there are countless connections in even the most different of series. They are still adaptations of a Japanese show to a Western Culture.

That's an unfair assessment. The fight scenes are what's lifted. While some plots are taken from the Sentai counterpart, just as often we're given completely original story lines.

And look at the differences.
Dekaranger and SPD take their police angle in two completely separate directions. Magiranger and Mystic Force have two completely different magic systems. And EVERY series, both PR and SS, are about rescue forces.

Also, you can't use similar themes as a counter point, or else Zyuranger, Dino Thunder, and Kyoryuger is the same series 3 times over, because dino themed suits and whatnot.

And Megaranger was turned from a video game into a space Opera. Whatever Lost Galaxy was taken from...well it's clear from the awkward editing that it wasn't a space show. Go-Onger is certainly no RPM. There ain't no angels in Megaforce, it goes on and on and works both ways brotha.

But you specifically said "That's where the connections end" which is completely factually untrue.

Because it is, the only connections you drew are from limitations of the footage they took. And to be fair, actually, often Power Rangers has managed to go beyond those limitations, considering more of Power Rangers is original stories than it is Sentai lifts. The more you made me think about it, the less I saw similarities and I barely saw any at the start.
