I'm with Locke. In their worst season, in an unwatchable team, they did an anniversary team-up so beautifully that it proved they could be good even when being godaweful. Once a Ranger. That's all the proof you need that Disney should be running the anniversary.

They also apparently wanted the franchise dead by RPM, so go figure.

It's less you guys want Disney running the show, you just want the people Disney let run the show back on it.

Saw it on RangerCrew first, but:

Kyl416 posted this on Funaroboard regarding Super Megaforce episodes:

Quote:

I got descriptions for the first 15 episodes of Super Megaforce, they'll be posted soon. Some random tidbits, Animaria, Red Lion Zord, Casey the Zoo Keeper, Orion, Corinth. And in a complete lack of creativity, the first one is titled "Super Megaforce"

EDIT - Shameless plug, but, I'm keeping a list of all the recent spoilers as it's released in a post on my blog

I use Disney almost like a slang term, what I really mean is I want people to put effort in again. It's funny because Saban act like the champions of the franchise, then make rubbish, lazy, shit productions. Disney threaten to axe the series with every iteration while creating actual plots, unique characters and enough American footage and characters to make entirely new shows of their own.

Didn't know where else to put this:

Andrew confirms 42 episodes total over both seasons. Look like we're not getting specials in Super Megaforce.

This was from Worldscreen's site in regards to Megaforce's episode order:





And this is for Super Megaforce, also from Worldscreen:

I came up with this theory a whole year ago, does it still stand up? LOL!

original post

I was expecting this. Megaforce is only 20 episodes in season one, which will be all Goseiger footage. Goseiger had 50 episodes in Japan. I heard Nickelodeon only allows 20 episodes per season, a reason why Saban created the Vortex block to get back to the norm of 40-50 episode seasons. This has nothing to do with the costumes, it's all about telling a decent story within the span of only 20 episodes. The transition from Dino to Ninja in MMPR was over the span of 2 years and 100 episodes. Kids have no problem with suit changes seeing we have been doing it for the past 17 years since Zeo. Not to mention that we are 2 series behind and Gokaiger alone isn't enough to sale on it's own. Gokaiger is based on a 35 anniversary of Super Sentai, Power Rangers is only HALF that, and as you can see, they are only using half of the show.

If you look at the Gokaiger toy line, it's not very big at all, it's all macha based and that's all we are using. I always doubt we were getting the Ranger Keys, if you look at BOA record of collectibles within any given season: Dinothunder's Dino Plates, NinjaStorm's Power Disks, RPM's Engine Cells, Samurai's Power Disk. We don't even have a full set of any of those in America. We have a little over 100 Power Rangers, I honestly doubt we would get a full set of Ranger Keys if Japan had a hard enough time, taking 2 years to put out about 200 keys. Bandai is pushing this card game hard, if Megaforce will be incorporating a "Gokai Change", putting them out in card form is much easier, not to mention we have 2 years of Megaforce to do it in.

Think of the average place in a story line in about episode 20 while watching Super Sentai or a regular series of Power Rangers. We are usually getting the 6th Ranger by then or around episode 13 or so. If everything is always drastically changing every 5-10 episodes; new villains, new Ranger, New Zords etc... So it's not even about having an explanation it's about having enough time to tell a good story and sale toys. I mean what's the point of introducing something new only to see it for 2 episodes and have something new again tossed in your face 5 episodes later? Then there is no room for character development because they're spending all the time explaining where all these new powers are coming from. Saban is finally aiming this show at us as well as kids, I want the best show possible regardless of what costume is being worn.

In addition, if you look at MMPR line up and the Megaforce line up. Goseiger reflect MMPR better than the Gokaiger team. Same colors, similar weapons and animals. For their 20th Anniversary, I too would pick a team that reflects the original to better resonate with the casual viewer (not Super Fans). It was mentioned that Saban may be using Gokai Silver so there may be a chance we could see the Gokaiger team in a similar way we used the Alien Rangers (Kakuranger).

There will be special Super Megaforce Events in Orlando Nick Hotel held February 2014 and October 2014.

This is NOT confirmed:
Looking like Super Megaforce premieres on the 15th. On Nick Hotel's blog Megaforce event was posted 5 months ago just the 14-17th. The 21-23 dates were added about two weeks ago when I found the press release.
