So it kind of feels like I'm stepping into a warzone here but I had some stuff I wanted to add to the discussion.

You did, actually. Sort of.

I think you meant more like "five episodes from now", but still.

This is surprising to even me but I'm gonna go ahead and side with Kiwami on this one. "He's one thing and then under the surface he's another single thing" could actually describe quite a few major, recent Sentai characters. Of course, we're only five episodes in, so maybe Captain Dumplings could turn out to be exactly what you're hoping he is, but right now I think you're either giving Kyuranger a bit too much credit or recent Sentai a bit too little.

See that's a very agreeable statement and it's easy to see where you're coming from there, but when you talk about Kyuranger as being stupid or s*** or whatever so much instead of wording it politely like that, it can come off kind of abrasive to people like me or Lucha who don't feel the same way.

Let me be extra clear about this in case I'm coming off the wrong way though. I'm not asking you to sugarcoat your posts from now on or anything dumb like that. If you want to come in here and rant about Kyuranger being crap, that's what a forum is for. Your opinion is as valid as anyone else's.

That being said, I stand by this bit.

It only has 6 filler episodes. Everything else is plot.

Dr Kain, you gotta understand, beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. Literally everything you just said is subjective and can be "proven" wrong with a simple "nuh-uh!". There's absolutely a such thing as objective quality (a plot-hole is a plot-hole and most people would probably agree a boom mic in the shot constitutes bad cinematography, for example), but the concept of the objective "best" is basically a myth, because everyone is going to define that a little differently. Observe this hypothetical conversation that has probably actually happened somewhere:

"Dairanger is the best Sentai because (stuff you just said)!"

"Nuh-uh! Jetman is the best because it's the most influential Sentai EVER!"

"WRONG! Jetman is overhyped garbage. Carranger is the best because it's such a great parody of the franchise."

"Says you! Carranger is way too comedic to take seriously. Gekiranger is the best because it's so unique and Rio-sama is the best villain in Sentai!"

"Yeah, well Gokaiger was a totally amazing celebration of all things Sentai so it's the best!"

*and so on*

...So are we cool? Some of us like Kyuranger and some of us don't and that's all okay and we can still get along?

Also, unrelated note: I should really get around to Dairanger.
