The mech fights however... lose that because the mechs are very blocky and bulky and heavy; there's very little manoeuvrability and there's a lot of slow, inelegant moves. It's part of why I don't like the mech parts of Sentai, but it is restricted to those sections and it does make sense to a degree for giant fights.

... bbbut now we've got those blocky heavy costumes in the grounded fights, too. And especially when we do have Zenkaiser over there who is a much more standard Sentai suit (feels weird to call him that but, you know), it's not only going to be a lot of awkward fights; it's going to be an awkward contrast between Zenkaiser impressively flipping everywhere with a lot of co-ordinated choreography while the other Zenkaigers stumble about and flail their box arms.


I don't wanna be negative on this because otherwise I'm all in; I LOVE everything here and I hope Sentai keeps doing out-there stuff like this, but I am a bit fearful for the action scenes is all I'm saying. Maybe they'll pull a Hurricaneger and give them a slimmed down mode?

You're right that the fights will probably be a lot different, but I'm excited for that. We have 40-some seasons of characters jumping around and doing flips, so I'm looking forward to something a little different. If it's not good, we'll likely get another standard season after this.

I mean, my fear is not that it'll be different; but that it'll be the same as half the fights the show has had since the 80s. That it'll be just like the mech fights, that no emotion will be portrayed because the actors can barely move their shoulders.
