Why the hell is the premise of human warriors from the time of the dinosaurs? That's chronologically impossible. No different than The Flintstones in terms of inaccuracy.

It's probably not supposed to make sense! Recall, the opener mentions "fantasy", which had to be intentional. Tyrannosaurus being upright isn't relegated to Sentai either, as Transformers made the same mistake with Grimlock in the mid-'80s!

The ending to Jetman was anti-climatic and unnecessary.

Maybe, maybe not. Gai was built-up so much in terms of character, you have to wonder if there was no good ending to make for the guy other than death itself! He was rough around the edges!

Quote:

Changeman missed out on having a good mecha design. What suit designs this year? Mythical animals from Western mythology. What mecha should we use? IDK helicopters or some shit. Same goes for Sun Vulcan.

Changeman was a good series and I'll stand by that forever! It's one of those '80s Sentai you wouldn't think much of until you watch it! There is a lot more there than one would naturally assume! The Mecha wasn't anything to text home about, but it's a minor complaint!

Quote:

Why the fuck did it take until Liveman to move away from vehicle mecha? Somebody please tell me why Toei/Bandai couldn't find a more creative toy designer.

Don't know, but it doesn't matter either! On some level, it was just a sign of the times in Japan!

Quote:

Pre-Liveman Sentai has aged horribly, especially the mecha.

There is a guy here who does weekly threads on Mecha, so comment there. And for the most part, there are some who do age well. I'd say this is a matter of preference.

Quote:

Battle Fever J looks more like a gang of bank robbers than a team of superheroes. Also if each team member represents a different country then why are they all Japanese? Seems a bit racist to me.

The '70s! The '70s in Japan! Nuff said!

Quote:

I think the main robo from Megaranger looks stupid.

If you are referring to Galaxy Robo, then I don't agree. On a level, it's a nod to Mecha from the '80s! Different: Yes! Terrible: Not quite!

Quote:

I think there are too many repeated motifs in Super Sentai that makes the series feel stale and boring at times.

Not completely wrong there, but a point of toleration with this franchise.

Quote:

"Sentai" is too close to "hentai" in phonology for comfort.

Not completely wrong there, but a point of toleration with this franchise.

Quote:

I think 'Super Sentai' should be rebranded as Power Rangers to end the confusion and embrace it's foreign adaptations. Toei should push Saban to adapt or incorporate all teams in some capacity.

Not happening! Toei does its thing, and Saban and Co. do their thing! Been this way from the cradle! I do believe that Saban should make use of the older teams, but that is still personal opinion!

Quote:

I want a Super Sentai vs. Power Rangers crossover.

Agreed, but only if it is done right! Do a "Goranger vs. Megaforce/Super Megaforce", and I'm there!

Quote:

I haven't liked a single "megazord" design since Shinkenger.

Personal preference on your part.

Quote:

There are too many aux mecha these days.

Not wrong, but "gimmicks" and "money"! Nuff said!

Quote:

I hate the Kyoryuger mecha. I think the Zyudenchi gimmick is stupid. We really didn't need a third dinosaur motif. And fake batteries don't improve upon it in any fashion.

Personal preference on your part.

Quote:

I think the premise of the rangers just being "born" into being rangers is lazy writing.

Site which teams were "born" for the task, and someone will site the team who were ultimately "pushed" into to it!

Quote:

Why are so many Sentai centered around the rangers (or their parents) being from different planets? Why do they not use an alien/space motif? Seems like a missed opportunity to me.

Most are from Earth, so I don't know get this.

Quote:

I think Super Sentai needs to let the red ranger take a back seat sometimes, and not just JAKQ, Kakuranger, or Timeranger. I mean actually make a different color ranger the focus point and official leader.

Give 'em time! They will! However, the "Reds" will ALWAYS be the focal point!

Quote:

I want a sequel to Sun Vulcan.

Not terrible, but again, PERSONAL PREFERENCE! Maybe in 2021, their 40th Anniversary!
