I'm sorry but the Megaranger suits are awful. Even when I was a kid I hated them, with their sunroofs, colour tester chests and the way they were just covered in random patterns and colours and yet still so amazingly bland.

*Ding ding* Let's do this Apollo.

How is it dumb? I think a Sentai passed around technology that is common is actually a great idea. It gives room for a lot of possibilities and even though I'm sure Bandai didn't take full advantage of it, toys. Hell if Megaranger happened today I could see a phone app based around the idea of it. Plus it gives a good balance between the super power and military Sentais. Yes Megaranger works for a corporation, but it isn't military based.

Do you think it's dumb because it's kids as rangers? I admit it is weird that INET would just continue to allow the group to use the devices and powers, but really it's no different then what Zordon did. Or any other teenage based Power Rangers or Sentai.

Is it because it's based on a video game but never really mentioned again outside of the henshin sequence with the helmets? I'll give you that one. It does suck that there wasn't more video game like stuff going on, but hardly a reason to say it's dumb. Yeah it's a dropped plot point, but we've had worse throughout Sentai, Power Rangers, and even Kamen Rider.

So do tell me, how is Megaranger dumb exactly?
