Which is the exact opposite of the situation with PR: the plots aren't amazing, varied or interesting, so people are more aware the the same shit is going on.

And its not like they air one season over two years and call the second half Super Kamen Rider :lol

I just pictured Superman making the heads of Saban kneel before him and as his eyes glow red he goes all Pulp Fiction Samuel Jackson on them."Go ahead,say it! Say it one more time! I dare you!"

Saban, stop doing this crap, for the love of god. This needs to be the last time they tack "Super" onto the title of their seasons. This "Super-blahblabblah" bullshit is getting old. And how much do you wanna bet that the theme will be another MMPR remix again?

I think that might be why they skipped Go-Busters. They have four excuses in a row to use the same theme because it relates to MMPR in some way or because it's a tribute to something. Samurai was their first new season and they thought it would be cool to remix the original theme for it, Megaforce had a team with colors that resembled the MMPR "main five" colors, and Super Megaforce is the anniversary season.

And now they'll probably do it again with Dino Charge because it's a dino themed season like MMPR and DT. If they HAVE to do a remix theme for Dino Charge, I'd like to see a remix of Zeo or Dino Thunder's theme done for this one to spice things up a little bit.

Well, let's look at this realistically: why does Saban care about fans like us? We're not the intended audience. This is a show for elementary/primary school children. They're the majority of the audience. They're the ones who are going to buy the majority toys (well, it will be with their parents' money, but you get the point). Their the majority of viewers. If older people are watching, that's great for Saban, but we're such a small minority, we're practically irrelevant. Yes, Super Megaforce was marketed towards fans, but Saban doesn't have to make it for fans. If we complain, Saban won't pay attention. Saban has a formula, it makes a lot of money for Saban, and the only trade-off (aside from taxes) is that a small group of people is grumbling.

The only way that fans can get Power Rangers to be made with effort is if we bought Power Rangers and made it ourselves. And, really, how many of us are actually capable of doing so?

As a 16-year-old, I could feasibly audition for the part of a Ranger and deliver an excellent performance, but I'd have to work with the writing that's given to me, no matter how sub-par, in addition to a cast that might not be as invested as I would be.

The gist of this post is, we can grumble and protest as much as we want, but Saban doesn't care about us.

Extremely disappointing but true, sadly. Power Rangers is very successful financially. There's no need to change from a business perspective.

As long as the kids are happy I guess. But boy do they deserve better.

Yeah, and at least we have Kyoryuger and other Sentai Subs on youtube to fall back o- OH WAIT, Toei keeps taking those down.

Ah well, at least there's still torrents.

Why shouldn't they keep taking them down? I don't know Japanese law, but I'd imagine it's probably similar to the way things are in the States. Periodically, companies have to go out and vigorously defend their IPs, otherwise someone can challenge their trademark on the grounds of abandonment. Granted it's a lot more complicated than that, but I've never understood why people get so riled up about companies protecting their property.

My apologies if I misinterpreted your frustration.

Because Toei never releases any of their tokustasu outside of Japan. Plus, since we don't have Japanese Television and most of us can't understand the language,fan subs on youtube and downloads are the only way to go.

If Toei actually tried to sell the stuff in the Western market that they keep trying to take down, that'd make too much sense. Yes, its illegal, but its not like I watch the out righted posted RAW, which is actually illegal.

Actually, I'm all for this is we somehow get original Kyoryuger Mega-Mode figures.

Those of us who are annoyed, or even upset, at the news of yet another "SUPER" second season are only upset because we're wanting more. We see how awesome the Super Sentai and Kamen Rider series are, how they are targeted for a very similar demographic (young children), and yet Saban Brands continues to develop subpar series time after time.

What upsets me is that we were made all these promises for the 20th Anniversary. And while they are using Gokaiger footage, right now it still feels like it is falling flat and that they're skipping a ton of opportunities to give the fans something REALLY awesome that'll get them excited.

Disney created "Once A Ranger" for the fans. Saban can't even give us the actor for RPM Red in the Samurai/RPM team up, and even then they skipped out on all the Go-Onger/Samurai footage. Then, with Super Megaforce, it wasn't until the VERY LAST SECOND that they decided to bring in 11 previous actors for ONE episode, and the rumor mill is still going crazy saying that marketing had to funnel cash to production in order to get the previous stars there because production wasn't planning to do it at all.

Let's not forget the DaiRangers being thrown in with no real explanation (You haven't seen these before! NO KIDDING THEY AREN'T POWER RANGERS) in what I firmly believe was a way to save money by not having to shoot a new scene (as they shot a lot of new scenes for the *yawn* Megaforce Red Ranger fight scene).

Fans want MORE. They always want MORE. In this case, I believe they have every valid excuse to be upset for wanting MORE, because we're tired of getting LESS each year.

*NOTE* We're not "so small". Bandai created the Legacy line strictly for collectors and are continuing it because of collectors. Vote with your wallet.

Oh yes, as someone who has been enjoying Dairanger will tell you, this is really insulting to the original show.

Even a throwaway line about how they were the ancient rangers who came before the Lost Galaxy Rangers or about how they were the rangers who sealed Rita would be better than "HEY, NEW POWERS".

I fear that if they include Go-Busters at ALL in Dino Charge, they'll suffer a similar fate.

To be honest, i kind of like the name Dino supercharge.

Yeah...to be fair, it does fit the whole "battery" thing. It's certainly more fitting than Super Samurai and Super Megaforce. (Seriously, why not just keep calling it Samurai and call the Gokaiger adaption "Galleon Force" or something)

Let's hope this is the last instance of Saban adding "Super" to the title of their show. I'd hate to see them do that to Toqger's season adaptation.

Power Rangers Super Hyper Turbo Train Alpha Accent Core+R.

Calling it now...

I'm still waiting for Power Rangers Super Mega MMPR Force, Power Rangers Super Mega Nostalgia Force and Power Rangers Super Mega Saban Force

Yes, the Legacy line is for fans. Fans of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. It's been out for a year, yet there are no Legacy toys for any other season, because the majority of the older fanbase only cares about MMPR. Not many venture beyond those seasons.

Dino Supercharge sounds so much better than Super Megaforce. I'm happy about this.

Yeah exactly, if anything the Legacy line is even LESS for the fans, as it focuses on the very first season exclusively and largely those who still have a hard on for that season are guys who grew out of Power Rangers, never followed the franchise and only appreciate MMPR as an adult in a sort of 'look how novel' I am sorta way.

If they were gonna make shit for the fans, they'd make a Legacy Mystic Force Wand. Or Legacy Solar Morpher. Or I dunno, Legacy Defender Vest. Something that would seem obscure to anyone but actual fans of the series.

I just want a Legacy Astro Delta Megazord (or just a Legacy Astro Megazord). Is that too much to ask?

At what point did everyone forget it's Nick's fault this keeps happening? They're the ones refusing to order more episodes, despite Power Rangers popularity. Hell, they don't even have enough faith in their own shows.

^This.

I personally don't care about the so-called “laziness” from Saban or all that other BS. I watch Power Rangers 'cause I've been a fan since Day One and I'm gonna CONTINUE to remain a hardcore fan as long as it goes on, and that INCLUDES Dino Charge/Supercharge!

And I know there's those on this forum who will back me 1000% on this!

My brother from another mother!

I know what you mean. I've been a fan since the very first episode of MMPR came out and I have even endured Operation Overdrive too. I will remain a fan till the very end. Till the sun implodes and until the universe comes to an end.

I'm still a fan - it just breaks my heart a little when we can have seasons like In Space, Lost Galaxy, Time Force, Dino Thunder, SPD, RPM ... and then get two series/4 seasons of Samurai, Super Samurai, Megaforce, and Super Megaforce, where the effort for originality and creativity has disappeared.

I love that you put "laziness" in quotations and say "so called" as if its an arguable point.

I'm a fan of Power Rangers, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be happy with this subpar effort Saban's been giving ever since they got the licence back just because it's Power Rangers. You may, but I won't and I hope more and more people are more like me and less like you so that maybe someday Saban will start improving.

Thank you. To show my appreciation that we true PR fans stick together, I added both of you to my friends list!

I don't watch Power Rangers for its creativity (Or supposed lack thereof), I watch 'cause it's still just as awesome as it was back when it first aired in 1993.

Like now with Super Megaforce. I don't gripe and/or whine that the acting/effects/storyline stinks, I watch 'cause it's the Anniversary season of Power Rangers and the Super Megaforce suits, Legendary Rangers Ability, Ranger Keys, Legendary Megazords and everything in between (Including seeing Sentai-exclusive Rangers in the US for the first time!) is awesome and may make SMF one of my most favorite Power Ranger seasons EVER!

So basically the people who actually want GOOD Power Rangers and are upset at the terrible quality lately and won't settle for bad quality are not "true fans".

Oh please.

I'm not writing off Dino Charge yet, but the fact is that Saban HAS been lazy lately and the quality of Megaforce and Super Megaforce has been low and Samurai wasn't much better, if any better.

I already defended my argument on the subject, I'm not getting into it anymore. You're entitled to your beliefs on the matter and I respect that. I stated my case and I'm sticking to it.

I declare this debate over. You don't have to go home but you can't stay here LOL.

I feel like Saban could just stop filming new unmorphed scenes entirely and replace them with old stock footage from MMPR and there'd still be people who'd never criticize it.

i feel like people are too over critical of power rangers because of super sentai. megaforce was enjoyable and super megaforce has also been enjoyable.

they are by no where near perfect shows, but they are definately not as bad as people let them to be. i view power rangers with a different mindset of sentai. i know they are different things.

i think people have a right to be dissapointed, but as a fanbase we are way too overcritical of the smallest detail of power rangers. if you just sit back and enjoy what is given to us you will have a better time. its not perfect but its not that bad.

taking a year off during kyoryuger and just watching megaforce was one of the best decisions i made, it was very enjoyable

People aren't disappointed in Super Megaforce because it's not like Sentai. Are some people overcritical? Yeah. But like you said, they aren't anywhere near perfect shows so people are going to point out the flaws. Most people don't care if it's like Sentai or not, most people just want it to be good.

People blindly accepting whatever's thrown at them is just as bad as being overly critical, though.

ever since samurai i've seen nothing but complaining its not a perfect adaptation of the sentai. i'm not telling people to blindly accept it, but it is nowhere as bad as people make it out to be. i'm saying, instead of finding the tiniest thing to complain about, how about look at the positives, because really, megaforce and super megaforce have their flaws, but the good outweighs the bad

Really?! The main complaint about Samurai is that it IS just a copy and paste and paste of Shinkenger. Though, I guess it all depends on where you hang out.


Hey, I liked the first episode of Super Megaforce at least, but I felt Megaforce spiraled into a series of essentially twenty minutes of fight scenes with five minutes of the rangers chatting for a bit. So far Super Megaforce has been WAY better than that, but it still has its share of big problems that show Saban isn't gonna step their game up anytime soon.

I think quite a few people are not critical for it not being like Super Sentai, but rather critical for it not reaching the standards set by Power Rangers seasons before it. In my opinion at least, Power Rangers has given us much higher quality in the past, both in classic Saban and Disney. Arguably many of them aren't Sentai quality, but they're still well-produced shows.

*Cough cough* Time Force! *cough cough* Dino Thunder! *cough cough*

Don't forget RPM! In Space! :D

Time Force is a good example because it was a direct translation that was STILL a good series. There's nothing wrong with using the same story as Super Sentai, but the adaptation has to be competent and well-produced.

I've seen so many people complain megaforce and super megaforce was not goseiger and gokaiger.

what if it was like the old days and we didn't have access to sentai like we do now, if we hadn't seen gokaiger, i am sure more people would be more on board for super megaforce

I didn't, Time Force and Dino Thunder were just the first two that came to mind. :lol
