To be fair though, that didn't happen until Go-Busters bombed toy-wise. Toei and Bandai likely stepped in and someone somewhere encouraged someone else to skip the series because there were doubts it could sell toys. And the current scuttlebutt is that Saban may skip another season to catch up if Toei allows it.

On the contrary, a Gokaiger adaptation would have worked perfectly fine if they got their damn priorities straight. Why force in the Gokaiger suits when they could have stuck with Goseiger and just used cards and gotten the mechs? Why waste their budget on superfluous stuff when it could have gone to things like getting more actors in for tribute episodes? Etc, etc, etc.

Would it have actually been good? Who knows? With these actors, it probably would have been okay at best, but that's still better than the crap Megaforce and Super Megaforce ended up being.

:lol :lol :lol

"Explained in the series." Super Megaforce.

:lol

Good one.

I think Linkara hit the nail on the head for this series.

The overall series felt lazy. Incredibly lazy. Though, he gushed over how Jason Smith was so great in his tribute episode because he wrote it - he forgot to mention that Jason Smith also wrote a majority of the "New Powers!" episodes, whether he was told to or did it on his own, who knows, but his being a fan of Super Sentai would lead one to assume that it may have been Jason who talked Tzachor in to it instead of Tzachor wanting to include it.

Either way - it made me realize my problems with Dino Charge - that the end of season 1 has made the series feel like it's returning to the same problems that plagued Samurai and Megaforce - including things "just because" with little to no explanation as to why. Basically, allowing the series and the footage to dictate the story instead of creating the story on your own.

Dino Charge created a story but then allowed the footage available from Kyoryuger to direct the story (for things like new Zords, etc.) instead of continuing the process of making Kyoryuger fit in to Dino Charge's story.

IE - Dino Charge started making Kyoryuger fit its narrative, but the season ended with Dino Charge fitting the Kyoryuger footage instead.

Aw, I just started Dino Charge, too...It seriously degrades during S1 already? Dammit...

Well it is not that bad, but it still does lose some of the fun it had. It really starts to borrow plot points because footage and contradicts itself with the whole energy thing and I hope that Super Charge fixes some of these problems. We didn't need a male purple ranger, nor did we need to skip aqua or have purple introduced this season. I just hope Chip didn't start to lazy out and is saving these explanations for next season, but I doubt it. He even said in a interview that details we thought they missed was going to get covered later on.

It is a tad disappointing that they're feeling a need to ram in stuff simply because some Kyoryu footage had it...Damn...

Personally, I don't get why they didn't use the 200 Rangers movie footage as the premier of the show. THey could have easily had that a group of rangers with pirate powers come to Earth and they sacrifice themselves to defeat Vrax, leaving their powers behind for Troy and gang to use.

I don't think they're allowed to use movie footage, which is why team up episodes of the past was always original stuff.

Not always the case, I think. I'm pretty sure the Lost Galaxy and Light speed team up used footage from it's sentai movie counterpart.
