Was it really stated that the Super Megaforce Ranger Modes were "copy powers", or are the Super Megaforce Ranger Keys the copies which allow access to the power an individual Key represents? If a Megaforce Ranger used a Ranger Key, would the Original Ranger be able to morph into the same form? Would it create the same strain as Dino Thunder White and his clone?

More on Gokaiger, I do wonder if they struck the right balance between Tributes and Team Characterization. However, I do like the idea of Gokaiger being more about themselves than a "traditional" Sentai. It comes across as a "Kamen Rider Sentai" well before the Go-Riders!

A different thread had someone use a screenshot of the OG Kamen Rider which said "Human lives are more important than even peace and justice." Gokaiger operate very similarly as they take a dim view to Innocents being oppressed by Zangyack, and Zangyack comes across in similar fashion to Shocker.

There has almost always been this argument as to whether Gokaiger is a rip-off of Decade, and I wonder if it's true. In a sense, Gokaiger takes the original Sentai pitch almost literally: It's like Kamen Rider, but with five of them.
