Now-a-days, Saban knows ahead of time how a story is ending in the Sentai counterpart, (well, more so since they're now TWO YEARS behind, soon to be THREE YEARS behind), they can write an entire season to match the footage.

But back during the days of In Space, where they thought the series was a space series (but it wasn't obviously), they wrote a story and tried to match footage to what they wanted the story to be.

Example: In Gokaiger, you have a story of Gokai Blue being overwhelmed by an opponent in swordsmanship, so much that it was actually an entire arch in the story, and had a pretty nice payoff at the end.

In Super Megaforce, we're getting ONE episode dedicated to a character who is supposed to be nerdy, but because he's the Blue Ranger, is going to have the same story line super-condensed about feeling like his swordsmanship isn't strong enough to be a Power Ranger (well no duh, you're a NERD WHO USED A BOW IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE SEASON).

Because of that you get stories that feel forced, or you get what you feel is a lack of characterization. Noah is supposed to be the new Billy. He's in-shape, but he's supposed to use his mind more than his brawn. However we're now destroying his characterization by forcing a Sentai story line on him that doesn't fit the character we've been TOLD (not shown) that he is.

*claps* I hate how they use the excuse of being a Power Ranger or having new powers now all of a sudden they're experts in whatever new skill they have now :P

That's doesn't mean we are getting Dairanger, maybe the keys but you do know that the SDCC footage was from the same episode of Gokaiger right?

Why put out keys for a whole team of Rangers we never had if you are not going to feature them? And no, there were various episodes of Gokaiger in that trailer, some from the first episode. They could have easily showcased more reconcilable teams, but having a prototype figure and being in a trailer is too much of a coincidence. It was also mentioned that JDF will be returning as the Green and White Ranger, we know he's in the Mega War as Green Ranger. And then there's this picture...

Dr. Tommy Oliver in white w/ Saba. It was said that the "Legendary Rangers" had a small cameo in the Mega War, so this has to be from an earlier episode.

There was only one key seen and was removed afterwards. Also "Legendary Rangers" would very well mean the returning of older actors.

You have read the news on the Mega War right? Outside of maybe 3 episodes Super Megaforce won't have cameos like Gokaiger and their appearance in the final episode is only for a few seconds. As for the key, it's a wait and see I guess...

I never thought about it, like this, and honestly the thought is disturbing. Surely as now Saban KNOWS what is coming, they should be able to create better uses of the footage that get given. How is it that they know what is going to happen...and they make worse shows?

We Toku fans have made full adaptations of the entirety of Go-Busters with clever writing, strong character development and that treat children like they can (and do) handle more than Samurai or Megaforce has offered.

Especially Megaforce. I know OO is the Power Rangers punching bag, but OO actually had plot, and characters and a trajectory. Megaforce is just...nothing. Easily the low point of the entire franchise.

Please tell me I'm not the only one that finds Troy in the Gokai Red suit cringe worthy.

I haven't even watched Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, and I think it doesn't work.
