I certainly don't mind either way when it comes to portraying "fighting fate" but I do agree it was very interesting to see how it played out here. Another thing that stands out to me is the how the government got involved in the Sentai affairs, which I know isn't too uncommon with some of them being commissioned by governments or having connections to it like in Boonboomger, but the fact that outside of a group of colorful, spandex clad strangers, we also had another deterrent fighting the monsters, which I thought was neat.

On Carranger, I do get what you're saying, mainly I get a laugh whenever a new monster shows up, since they all look so wonderfully ridiculous and catroony along with how over-the-top they are, or even the fact that they grow giant by eating Imo-Youkan is enough is certainly enough for me.

Also, I see Signalman might be a spoof on the Metal Hero series given his theme song, to his name "Kobaan" possibly a spin off Micheal Corben like the other Space Sheriffs, I strangely really enjoy this guy and the hijinks the series has as a whole, especially after the introduction of the Zokurangers who have a variation of the Carranger theme song!

Yeah, I really liked how Timefire was a separate force from the main team for the most part and how he worked with the present time government. He doesn't always agree with the main team, so instead of being a new member he's more like another outside factor the protagonists have to account for. I'd like to see more extra Rangers given a role like that!

Carranger was such an odd show for me humorwise, the early episodes certainly got me to laugh sometimes, but it was almost trying TOO hard to be funny. The turning point for me was the episode about how Signalman literally cannot resist obeying road signs. Starting from that point, the show almost always had me laughing like mad!
