Honestly, I think adapting Kamen Rider is less of a "can they do it" and more of a "should they do it." Not only would a Kamen Rider adaptation be far more expensive to make then Power Rangers, even if they do reuse the combat footage, Kamen Rider designs tend to be a lot more... weird then Sentai designs and some of them just won't appeal to an American audience all that much. I mean, just look at Ex-Aid. What american company would want their main *boy* hero to be pink? And that's not even getting into the rest of Ex-Aid's design.

Besides, what chance would this Kamen Rider adaptation have at having its own identity? No matter how weird or outlandish the designs are, people will always think of the show as a Power Rangers ripoff. The only people who would know or care otherwise are people who are aware its an adaptation of a Japanese show.

No matter how I look at it, adapting Kamen Rider is an uphill battle with no real reward. At least, not only that can't be gained with a lot less effort and a lot more creative freedom.

Ex-Aid isn't pink. he's magentaaaa
In all seriousness, I see your point. Plus, Dragon Knight didn't get much marketing nor did it sell toys until months after it started

Although Ex-Aid wouldn't be visually appealing to American audiences, it would work perfectly as VR Troopers with the whole video game theme.

It probably just means they are renewing their trademarks on those names so that no one else can use them.

Unfortunately, Dragon Knight wasn't exactly a rousing success either.

Dragon Knight was just as bad as Masked Rider. Not to mention it was so cheap looking and sounding. If you are going to adapt a Toku show, make sure you at least have the budget for sound effects.

Honestly I was thinking the same thing. Saban did have more than Power Rangers regardless of whether it was a success or not. People can say all they want about how good or bad they were but Saban does have the ingredients to cook up a Sabanverse hate it or love it.

VR Troopers I actually would not mind. VR is a term and a thing that has resurfaced recently and now that they are not bound to Japanese footage, they have a chance at improving the source material.

Beetleborgs I think could work as well if they could bring what made adventure stories such as Gravity Falls, Goonies, and a LITTLE BIT of Stranger Things good.

Not really. It had original footage, better transformation effects and although it's a bad adaptation for Ryuki, it was supposed to be it's own thing and did keep some stuff according to the source material

Yes, but the sound effects were almost non-existent, there was very little in the way of explosions, and the music droned on and on, never really fitting with the fights on screen. Not to mention it was so low in volume you would often forget it was even there to begin with.

He's not Pink. He's lightish red. :p
