Ok, wow, I haven't posted in a looong time. But I thought that I'd throw a couple questions out here and see what people come up with.

I have been keeping up with Lupin VS Pat and really like how it's going, despite its various shortcomings. However, with how the most recent episode is essentially a showcase of one of its bigger problems, the fact that the Lupins are getting most of the upgrades while the Pats seem to be getting more character development from the writers, I began to wonder what would happen if things were reversed.

What if the Patrangers ended up being more popular in Japan to the point where they started getting more upgrades? How do you think that would affect the show's plot? What would reversed dynamics look like, with the Pats coming out on top more often? Would it affect the character development we've been seeing (ie: would the Lupins end up being more fleshed out in an attempt to make them appeal to a wider audience)? Would it change Noel's interactions with the cast? Would Zamigo end up getting more screen time? How good would Patren X look in the Victory Striker armor?
