This was more likely a matter of Saban already having a working relationship with Toei and not wanting competition muscling in, while already having something in place should inspiration strike and it was decided to adapt a Rider series alongside Power Rangers. Dragon Knight probably had a lot to do with why Saban never did anything proactive on a Rider adaptation, though.

You've just confirmed exactly what I was saying though. Doesn't matter when the company files it's always about tying enough red tape around a concept to stall it.

Saban didn't have anything to do with Dragon Knight, so they probably could have started where they wanted to.

Imagine if they did have to adapt the next something after Black RX.
Power Rider Shin! :p

Well, you specified Dragon Knight, so what I was getting at is that while you had the right idea, it wasn't because of the Rider series that failed as both a television series and a toyline two years prior. Potential competition, whatever it could be, wasn't going to be from Steve Wang or whoever else.

I'm kinda glad that this project is dead. Now I hope Saban will never touch Ultraman now.

I don't like Dragon Knight, granted I'm 15 episodes in but I just don't like it. So seeing this trademark be abandoned leaves me worried about potential good future adaptations.

I'm sad you didn't like it, I loved it.

I give up on Dragon Knight after the third episode. The acting was awful and I felt like no one in that show could act. DK could have been a big hit if they put on a better channel and had more marketing for it.

It would have been cool if Dragon Knight and RPM were on the same time slot together back in 2009. ABC Family could have their own Super Hero Time.

Most of the people in the show weren't actors, but martial artists, so it took them quite a while to find themselves and not all of them managed it. I guess sorta like MMPR in that regard.

It's really REALLY wobbly at the beginning, but I personally found it fun to watch them grow as characters as well as actors across the series. It's certainly a lot better than say...Megaforce, where Troy starts like a marble statue and ends like one.

I rather see English dubs of Kamen Rider instead. I think Kamen Rider can be big in America if it's market it right. If you go at cons and other anime web forums, there's a good amount of fans that like Kamen Rider. I seen Kamen Rider grow a lot in the past several years in the Otaku fandom.

If you look at shows like DBZ and Doctor Who, they start off small then they became mainstream over time.

I know that we all make jokes about cheap Neo-Saban and stuff but I think there is some good in them. I'd totally cool with them bringing it over.

Seriously, I'd be fine if SABAN did a Rider adaptation on the sheer fact alone that I'll at least be getting more then 1 season of it.
