Wow the fact that someone said that to me, of all people, was hilarious.

I don't want Megaforce to BE Goseiger but if you go back to the likes of In Space, Lost Galaxy, Time Force etc Saban created entirely new stories, entirely new characters, entirely new worlds, while creating a whole continuity and how much you appreciate the finished product is largely superfluous as you can still appreciate all the effort Saban went into making Power Rangers its own thing.

Megaforce on the other hand is 90% Goseiger clips, with all of the context stripped out while still following the same story beats as the Goseiger episode it is taken from. Then awkwardly tacking on a scene of a bunch of highschoolers drinking smoothies during the credits. Apparently these teens are our Rangers? But with personalities so different, and characterisation so non existent, the Red Ranger could be that bug kid for all I know.

As much as I HATE straight adaptations, at least do it properly. Samurai at least incorporated the good aspects of Shinkenger for the most part, Megaforce doesn't even do that. It just takes all of Goseiger's fights and dubs over them.

Even the much derided Disney era, which I LOVED, often directly adapted the sentais basic plot outline, but even then they created new villains, new characters and actually spent money on making it work.

Megaforce has no excuses.
