The BEST and WORST things about Gokaiger?

Star Sabre James · 01-06-2012, 06:29 PM

Best - The tributes. I loved seeing Big One and Akaranger in the 199 Heroes movie. Also the one with Battle Kenya from Battle Fever J was AWESOME.

One tribute left me scratching my head, and that was the Carranger one. I was not too impressed with it. Yeah, I understand Carranger in itself was a parody of Turboranger, but the WTF-ness was over the top.

Also for worst, and others have mentioned it, the mecha battles. They have gotten a bit old and stale. I wish there was a way to spice them up more.

The WTFness was spot on for CarRanger. CarRanger isn't a pardoy of Turboranger so much as it's a parody of all the sentai before it.

You are correct, from what I've read. I stand corrected.

Maybe, someday, I'll be able to see Carranger, and maybe that episode wouldn't be so bad for me.

Gokaiger does a lot there is good: good actors, good fight scenes, amazing tribute concept, great villains in Basco and a few others, etc. If I had to choose just one, I'd say it has to be the tribute theme, it gave me more knowledge about Sentai than anything before and the Gokai Changes were simply cool.

I won't say there's anything seriously wrong, as usual, but Furaimaru's finisher got on my nerves after they overdid it. I was so glad when Machalcon was finally introduced. Gokai Silver's Gold Mode was annoyingly overused too, but sometimes they executed it well and they seemed to have toned it down anyway.

Like: The Story Arcs, The Majority of the cast, Mecha, The Arsenal, The Gimmick,Barizorg, Damaras

Dislike: Gai, The Rest of the villains, Constant spamming of kanzen gokaioh (i can understand it though because of toy sales)

How the heck can anyone not like Gai? :P

Gai is very similar in behavior to Shinken Gold ... aka over the top, loud, very exhuberant. Previous 6th Rangers have been "all powerful, all attitude" and so forth. Just the typical trend of extra Rangers in Sentai ... one time they were all kids (Kiba Ranger/King Ranger), then they were badasses (GaoSilver, Time Fire, Abarekiller, etc.) ... now they're over the top and bouncy bouncy.

I'm sorry but they are different in a key way. Gai is over the top because he wants to live up to past heroes. He gets so excited when he sees them that he loses control of himself. He strives to do what he can to protect everyone. Gai can be bad ass when he puts his mind to it. I think people just see "HE IS GOOFY" when he is around past teams and such, and they just write him off. The problem with that is this, the people that write him off are just ignoring his real character.

When people watch sentai they shouldn't just look at the superficial aspects of a character. They should really want to know what makes that character tick.

^If anyone of us were in a similar situation to Gai, I think we'd be a little ecstatic too.

I think that's something we can all agree on
