In other installments, that was never the case, for good reason I think. Sure, there have been nerds, but they at least had some self confidence and unique traits. But the MegaForce characters all seem so generic.

A Mary Sue basically means a character that's too perfect. Gia is smart, beautiful, popular, etc. Again she just seemed like another generic, shallow character.

Did you watch the first episode? In one of the first scenes, in response to Mr. Burley's question, Emma says that only insects will survive all the awful things humans are doing to wreck the environment. I'd have to go back and watch it again to be sure, but I think about midway through the episode she even says the line "I love the environment" or something very similar.

For a show like Power Rangers, changing text on a card should not be rocket science. Yeah, it would take some time to do the editing, but heck to me that seems like part of the job of making a Power Rangers series. Why not make it right? Again, this is the 20th anniversary of Power Rangers we're talking about. If there was one series to pay a little more attention to, put a little more effort into, and not to cut corners on, I'd hope this would be it. I guess 'cause they think the show is just for children who won't care anyway. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was expecting this season to be epic, not hovering around average.

I never said I wanted anything typical from other seasons. I was just suggesting other seasons as examples of more interesting characters and stories. That doesn't mean I just want clones of former rangers. I just want to not feel like I could see pictures of the current cast in the dictionary under "nerd" "jock" etc.

There's just nothing special about MegaForce right now, that's my big gripe.

But at least I've got hope. Going Viral at least showed that Jake and Noah aren't completely 1-dimensional, so hopefully as we get to know more about the others, they'll be less bland.

The Power Morphers from Season 1 say Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger on them when the remove their coins to form the crystals. Unedited footage is really nothing new and has been a staple of Power Rangers for 20 years.

Also, the whole Emma thing. Yeah, I watched the first episode. But it's only been one time. Your initial post made it seem like this was something she did incessantly, which it's not that way really.
