It's not really an issue per se, as much as it's a "why bother?" scenario. I mean, if there was a pink previously shown, I could see it.

And I do like the idea of changing into five members and leaving one out, or having maybe they all change into Dino Thunder but "Gokai" Pink changes into MMPR Pink Ranger as a joke.

We have to remember though, that we're only getting 20 episodes. Cramming stuff like past relationships, stuff that happened in Sentai but not Power Rangers and the like is just a pipedream at this point.

See that I can understand. The way you stated it before just kinda didn't make sense to me.

It just gets frustrating after a while, being a Power Ranger fan on the internet. All the 'cool kids' discover Sentai and then they run around every internet conversation about Power Rangers going on about how much the Sentai is better. It's just like give it a rest.

And if you look across a lot of the Super Megaforce discussion, there are all these people going on about how 'Gokaiger did this, Gokaiger did that' but Gokaiger and the celebration of Super Sentai has no relevance to a Power Rangers season celebrating Power Rangers legacy.

Even if that celebration seems non existent at this point.

To be fair, on a case by case basis, most Sentai do tend to be better than the PR equivalent, with only 3, possibly 4-6 series (Depending on your stance and opinion), being on par or superior to their Sentai counterpart.

The point isn't what is better, the point is is that it's okay to be a Power Rangers fan and have no interest in Super Sentai, they are separate shows, no one should make you feel like you have to watch the originals.

But with the way the elitist Sentai fans go on, it's like you're expected to pray to Sentai every night before you go to sleep. Why they put it on some weird pedestal I have no idea but it's annoying as all ass.

I understand that it can be annoying, trust me.
I'm just explaining why people exclaim one is better than the other.

While they are separate series with different stories and characters, comparisons will always (literally always) be drawn because they share footage. It's unfortunate, but inevitable unless you can manage to convince the internet otherwise.

Ironically, I've heard there are Japanese fans who put PR on a pedestal above Sentai. Dunno if its true or not, but...interesting bit of irony there.

Be right back while I go talk about Star Trek in the Doctor Who thread, well they are both sci-fi.

Until Star Trek starts ripping action sequences Doctor Who, you won't get the same results.

I was being deliberately facetious.
