Gotta say, he gave Megaforce the bashing I had hoped for, and more. Congrats to him on completing HOPR for now.

I've been waiting to see Linkara tear into it and boy, was it worth the wait (especially that bit in part 5 when Robo Knight just randomly shows up alive again).

The part where Robo Knight shows up in "Legendary Battle" had me cracking up at Linkara's reaction to it. Poor guy.

And I agree, Megaforce is a LOT WORSE than Operation Overdrive. At least with Operation Overdrive, they only had to adapt one Sentai, whereas Megaforce had to adapt TWO. So far we don't know if Go-Busters will still be adapted at all for Dino Supercharge, but something tells me that it won't. This is rather contrary to what Linkara said about Saban having some sort of contract with Toei to not skip a season of Super Sentai, because if Saban can skip Go-Busters and go straight to Kyoryuger, then they really SHOULD have skipped Gokaiger altogether.

Gokaiger would have never worked for a season of Power Rangers anyway. So much of that Sentai was celebrating the then-35th anniversary of the series, and while the idea of a team of Rangers that can morph into previous teams of Rangers would have been the best idea for adapting into Power Rangers, what we got wasn't what anyone would have wanted. Super Megaforce was the result: A poorly-written, ugly, Frankenstein's monster of a season of Power Rangers that will no doubt go down as one of the worst seasons in the 22 years that this show's been on the air, if not THE worst.
