Saban. Doesn't. Matter.



What is the point of any of this?
Who cares?
What kid would go "HEY! THIS IS DYNAMAN BECAUSE I REMEMBER THE 6 EPISODE, 25 YEAR OLD GAG DUB OF IT!"?
What makes JAKQ's playing card motif confusing? What makes Gorenger so impossible to use? Why does Sun Vulcan's suit materials matter?

All I said was, if I somehow owned the Power Rangers franchise, I'd create a series of miniseries to tie the 15 prior Sentai in to the PR mythos. Zordon's war against evil, Rita, and Zedd has been noted to range on for thousands of years across the cosmos, which is ripe to be explored. I figured, perhaps the Dino Rangers (Which Ninjor basically created, since he made the Power Coins) weren't Zordon's first team, and perhaps the past Sentai could fill in the gap as well as explain Zordon's entirely unexplored history.
I also wanted them to be miniseries, only explaining the teams' histories, not their entire adventures and tenure as the X-Rangers. 10-15 episode stories detailing their formation, how their powers came to be and their connection to Zordon. Move on before we see what happens to them and their end to leave space open for more adventures, but not dwelling on them for too long.

All I'm trying to do is have fun, think of the various ways the past Sentai could be changed and fit into the PR universe. How Zordon made the Gorengers, or perhaps if they influenced Zordon to make more Power Rangers throughout the universe, which is why I'd create miniseries' if I owned the franchise to explore that.

But no, you take this shit way to seriously. Now I have to deal with the logistics of "What if a kid doesn't know what an ace of spades is? We can't have that. Only have Big One" or "Turboranger has the word "Turboranger" appear. It wouldn't work. Axe it."

I get the "fun" aspect of it, and plenty of the ideas are worth exploring. For example, why does Ninjor make coins based on dinosaurs? Was it just to help others who weren't ninja masters? There is plenty of room for backstories and it would be nice, but once you are part of the "do-this-for-the-franchise" brain-trust, you can't just call yourself a fan anymore. All technical details matter. Surely Saban may have wondered what to do with the Disney Era after the whole thing fell back into his hands. Not all of his people agreed with the Ninja Storm-to-RPM thing in its entirety, but he didn't completely cut them out either. If PR fell into the hands of another, what would the logistics be? If you explore the unexplored, you have to give some credence as to what came before. Ones like JAKQ might not conflict with kids themselves, but parents are another matter. Would they approve of playing cards as a theme? That's where that one comes from! If Dynaman and Turboranger have chest badges that display their name, does that mean they can't be used? NO! It means that you take the time to mod the PR copy of the suits so a different name appears. In Megaforce, the team just used Goseiger card props and arrogantly kept the same names despite the cheap dialogue explaining otherwise. In Dino Charge, the names were digitally altered so as to not conflict. My thoughts on Battle Fever J remain the same. I want to have fun with the whole thing, but the only way you can have that kind of fun is to base it on the existing continuity. Do I particularly like Super Megaforce and what it did (save for some of the villains)? Not particularly! Only a few episodes were truly decent. But I push those feelings aside and take the established work as it stands and try to make sense of it and peace with it. I don't want to look at the episodes out of joy, but because I might want to keep what happened uniform in my head. Maybe I have taken this too seriously! Everyone has ideas! But if you were the one trying to come-up with a story or write an episode, can you pick and choose which Era you follow? Do you ignore what you can't stand to even think about? Saban does matter because he is largely responsible for all of this. PR might not exist as we know it otherwise. Is there something I'm missing? Probably, but that is to be expected! Sorry.
