How can you treat RPM as anything BUT an alternate world? I guess it could be the future but Time Force kinda had that covered.

I'd rewrite it by not having Disney or Saban TOUCH the Super Sentai Franchise.

Let's be honest, beyond that of the first few early Saban series, I dunno how you could say any Power Rangers iteration has continuity. Even ignoring how much every season has disconnects with their own internal timelines and mythologies, every season starts with everyone having no idea what Power Rangers are, disbelieving in the power and acting surprised by giant robots while simultaneously we're supposed to believe that there has been two decades of teenagers with attitude fighting in giant robots and everyone just...forgets between fights?

Alright, you got me there. I guess it would have to be an alternate future or something.

I'm starting to see why Super Sentai has every season take place in it's own little world.

I will agree they need to establish some sort of better connection between the two though, "magic train" didn't really cut it for me in Samurai.

Even by Power Rangers standards, a magic train just felt stupid. And there was an episode of Lost Galaxy where Mike/Magna Defender was floating unconsciously in the depths of space, yet still alive.

I love this show simply because it outright ignores physics.

I also personally believe avoiding direct links (references are fine) is actually healthier for the show as well. I love how you can jump into any sentai show and get a complete story.

If you jumped into say 'In Space' while never having seen another PR season, you'd probably be able to grasp what is going on but you'd have no concept of why the events are important. Maybe this is an attempt to make them go back and watch from the start, but other than nostalgia junkes who actually WANTS to watch that first season of MMPR again? I thought as much.

There is a time and a place for continuity, but PR isn't one of those.

Yes. Because Ultraman and the Dynaman parody would totally be enough to draw all of us into the toku.

Hate Disney or Saban, but Power Rangers is pretty much the universal point for about 90% of the members here, and various other non Asian toku fans online.

Oh, as for the continuity problems, just blame it on Time Force or something

Anyway, I'd change everything about Dino Thunder, because good god that series needs help.
First, change Conner. He's so white bread he makes Jason interesting. Give him a character beyond "Soccer."
Next, change Kira. I know a lot of users were too busy fawning over her, but she was dull as a post. She had no characterization beyond "She can sing," and she only ever sang like 4 times. She never got to do anything, really.
Next, give Trent's story proper resolution. It was built up so well, and I was really getting into it. Then out of nowhere, a laser zaps the dino gem, the evil personality leaves, and Trent is perfectly fine. End of story.
Next, change the White Ranger clone. He appeared for, like, 3 episodes over the course of 15 and did fuck all. He was a pointless addition and is the shining example of why the DT writers had no idea what they were doing.
Next, remove the civilian powers. They were never used more than 3 times tops, and it always leads to a bullshit argument over the rangers' strength (As I've said before, Kira would rupture her ears before even phasing the opponent if she used her sonic scream in her helmet).
Next, Haley. Axe her. She was a pointless character aside from the one time she gave Ethan a hovercycle.

I'm tired of everyone saying "Leave DT as is" like it's good or something...

Conner was one of the few things I liked about Dino Thunder You gotta love a devilishly handsome douchebag with a terrible dress sense. He reminds me a lot of what would go on to become the typical male protagonist in YA Supernatural romances novels, which are one of my vices.

I agree with EVERYTHING else though Matrix. I was starting to think I was going mad when I read this thread, so it's good to know I wasn't alone in thinking DT had a great first half of establishing things, then a terrible second half of wrapping them up... That and Kira being one of the most unfoundedly overhyped Rangers in the entire history of the franchise, simply on the grounds of 'she was sorta emo and when I was fifteen that was kinda hot'.
