50 Years of Super Sentai Appreciation Thread
 

Folks, it's farewell to our favorite multi-colored superhero teams for the time being. Gozyuger is nearing its end, and a new era begins with Project R.E.D. Personal observation, Kamen Rider went through it, Metal Heroes went through it, so I think it's safe to say Super Sentai is just away for a much-needed vacation. We won't know how long it will be, but let's keep the hope alive.

I thought it would be nice to just share fun moments and good times we've had with the Super Sentai series. No format in particular, if you wanna talk about your favorite ranger of a specific color, go ahead. Wanna talk about a blooper only you've noticed to this day and no other person hasn't pointed out yet on another thread? Do tell! Super Sentai trivia? SHARE THE WISDOM!

It's cool how each of the Maskmen specialize in a different martial art. Feels like watching Tekken Sentai.

As someone who watches Goranger and admires the birth of the Super Sentai trope that would last for half a century, I want to point out that I especially appreciate the change of generals in the very first Sentai. It's not just a change of a weirdo reporting to the main villain, but a genuinely transformative factor.
I can really see how Iron Man Mask General Temujin's approach differs from Sun Halo Mask's, and it's really cool. It's a shame most other shows can't do that.

we will meet super sentai again?

Personally, I am confident that the franchise will make its presence felt more than once in the next 50 years.

I think both Donbrothers and Gozyuger having an ED/Preview theme is really great and something I'd like more shows to adopt. Specifically Rider given it doesn't have the usual credits sequence that both Sentai and Ultraman have.

As someone who loves Episode Previews in general, the way the song flows from the ending of the episode into the next episode preview via the music is really fun. It also just helps give the previews more of a unique vibe too.

but shirakura says 10 years.

I also appreciate when a change in factions or generals is more than cosmetic and actually forces the heroes to adapt to the new evil strategies.

Personally, I want more previews like Abaranger, where the ED builds suspense for the episode's resolution. I think the dramatic twists hit harder when the cheerful music comes before, instead of after.

Hence why Mesnick said "more than once".

that doesn't make sense to us but sentai will return in a future not far away.
