Dork Age is the downturn of quality and popularity of a franchise for a period of time and I feel 2012-2017 to be dork age for Sentai for reasons.

* Go-Busters- I feel 3 core Go-Busters especially Hiromu is the reason of why Go-Busters wasn’t popular. They lack character development and come off as not very interesting. I’m not sure if I see anyone putting those 3 Go-busters on their favorite Sentai character. The show was boring in my personal opinion.

* Kyoryuger- I didn’t get a team vibe from the show and it was essentially one-Man show for Daigo Kiryu. This is example of why the head-Writer shouldn’t focus way DAMN too much on Red Ranger especially if he’s Screaming Red Ranger. Watching Kyoryuger was painful to sit through and i made sure that I won’t make same mistake ever again by not watching any future Sentai that have annoying Screaming Red Ranger who love to be Main Star and doesn’t think of his comrades.

* ToQger- I will admit that I did like this show but I was aware that not every Western audience are huge on trains and they dislike the show heavily despite their love for Kamen Rider Den-O which was train-themed Rider. Their suit and mecha are not greatest design but little bit better than Kyoryuger.

* Ninninger- After watching first 5 episodes, I stopped watching Ninninger cause TAKAHARU PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH WITH HIS ANNOYING CATCHPHRASE, HIS TERRIBLE ACTING AND HE’S LIKE WORST SCREAMING RED RANGER MORE THAN DAIGO! I WANT SCREAMING RED RANGER CLICHES TO DIE ALREADY! Sorry...... I got carried away. Anyway, Ninninger could have been franchise killer to Super Sentai cause their toy sale was awful. That’s exactly what Toei get for focus way too much on Takaharu. Ninninger might be the most disappointing anniversary show that Toei ever did. You’re not going to see Ninninger on anyone’s list for their favorite Sentai.

* Zyuohger- Definitely better than last one but their villain suck and there was some issues with end arc. I think it was good show but it’s not on same level as Gokaiger, Shinkenger or even Dekaranger in term of being huge fan-favorite season.

* Kyuranger- I’m very glad that I didn’t watch this show cause one more screaming red ranger and my brain will blow out. Lucky is the reason of why the show is not fan-favorite Sentai show and some Kyuranger didn’t get to do much since there was so many Sentai Ranger and it’s hard to give all 11 or 12 Ranger their spotlight moment.

I feel Lupinranger VS. Patranger have potential to be fan-favorite Sentai like Gokaiger, Shinkenger, Dekaranger, Timeranger and Jetman since it got interesting story around Lupinranger and Kogure who I have interest on and the villains are much improved than Zyuogher’s Villains.

Not sure if I can called Lupinranger VS. Patranger put the official end to the dork age of Super Sentai but who know?

Do you agree or disagree with 2012-2017 being dork age of Super Sentai? Disney went through Dark Age during 80s and 2012-2017 is essentially “The Dark Age of Super Sentai”.
