Fury Diamond is incredibly reputable. If he's circulating info then it's SOLID. No questions.

But as for the cameos not happening, I'm not someone who gushes over JDF. Just getting him back means nothing to me. I've met the guy before and I don't much care for him or his attitude. Green/White Ranger is not the end all be all for me of Power Rangers. Saying something like "Oh at least we got Tommy" doesn't make Saban's misstep here any more excusable. In fact it makes it less excusable. They assume the fans will be happy if they throw one bone at us and that's it.

That's insulting. They know what fans want and if they're saying otherwise it's because they're cheap. Not knowing that they'd need past rangers is the most ridiculously bold faced lie they could have come up with.

I don't think it's a lie as opposed to the thought process of "well, we'll use suit actors" and then the rumblings from the adult fandom wanting the actual actors back, the response being "oh shit, we goofed up big time!"

But they would have at least needed the actors for voice over if nothing else right? It just smacks of Saban's cheapness. It seems like they're using the money angle as an easy excuse and putting blame on the actors for not coming in spite of this. It feels like they want to guilt the actors into coming out for the big anniversary even though they won't make jack for this job.

Man, I hope the new rider series is awesome, because between Megaforce being a smellephant, Wizard not interesting me and Kyouryuranger(sp?) being itself, I've got no current Toku in my life.

If current day series aren't doing it for you, perhaps you could go back to the 70's and check out Amazon or Stronger.

It's Kyoryuger. There's no ranger in the team name.

Given how much of a shit storm this is turning into inside the fandom Saban is only hurting themselves. Would it have been so hard to setup some areas in California to get these guys into the show?

What's wrong with Kyoryuger? Do you hate fun?

Dang it! I always forget. "Ryuger" is close to "Ranger" which mugs me.

Sure why not. Because if that's the only reason you can imagine someone wouldn't like it, there's obviously no use actually explaining.

To everyone else, I don't dislike Kyoryuger, it's just not in any way appealing to me. The silly dancing, the mech and suit designs, the shrill voice everything makes just doesn't get my attention. Nothing wrong with it, just that it is it's own thing.

It's not ryuger or ranger though, it's just yuger. Kyoryu literally means Dinosaur. As with a lot of recent sentai the suffix part of the name usually isn't any kind of word at all. Just a piece of a word to make the name roll off more smoothly. Like Go-Onger instead of Go-On Ranger, or Shinkenger instead of Shinken Ranger.
