I think it has more to do with my ears being younger than yours. I'm just picking up wavelengths you can't hear, Nossan.

They usually call those hallucinations

Vekar is perfect. They can't make him as over-the-top Whiney as Warz, it wouldn't translate. I think the mistake people are making is looking at SMF and comparing it apples to apples with Gokaiger. You can't do that. It was never meant to be that. You have to look at it as a stand-alone product.

I honestly am starting to think some PR fans are unpleasable when Disney had it people hated them and wished Saban still had it now it's the opposite.

^I like this.

Casting my vote on the Starscream Gaga/KRX side of the debate. I find the VA work to be abysmal.

Edit: It has nothing to do with comparing it to Gokaiger, at least in my case, and everything to do with the fact my ears try to commit suicide whenever anyone opens their mouths.

Because levels of whiny is some sort of cultural barrier?

But no, regardless of how perfect Warz Gill's VA was in Gokaiger, I don't think Vekar fits at all. Even when he's being "whiny" in Super Megaforce his extremely exaggerated body movements aren't matching his comparatively toned down performance. As a stand alone product, the in-suit movements in EVERY scene, wether it be the Armada or the fights or just the rangers chatting BEFORE a fight, are not matching what we are seeing on screen and that's why I can confidently say the VA work in SMF is lacking.

I think we're at an impass here. Because I'm not backing down, and I doubt any of you are either. Therefor as mod I win the arguement

I kid, I kid

so they have to replace that with the gosei suit fighting to take up that much time. if it was an actual tribute episode, there would probably be less fighting in gosei suits like in episode 1 because there was alot of gokai footage to use

im guessing in the next episode we'll probably see less gosei suit fight footage since they are probably combining episodes 3 and 4 to introduce mystic dragon/magidragon and noah/joe's focus episode since magi gokaioh/legendary mystic force megazord is used to defeat joe's/noah's swordsman monster.

To counter that argument ... they should just then skip the episode. I mean, there's 51 episodes they have to use, and they're only going to turn those 51 in to a total of 20 episodes of Super Megaforce, of which episode 20 is going to be a lot of original footage because the ending is going to have the "Mega Ranger War", featuring 11 cameos from previous Power Rangers.

I understand WHY they did it, but it totally feels lazy. If you can't make the episode make sense with the footage you have available, just skip the episode. There was no need to bring in the DaiRanger suits, none at all, but they did it just to be able to use as much footage as possible, and now the fandom is 50/50 about the usage ... basically if you disliked Saban's treatment of the show, you're horribly ticked off ... and if you like their treatment of the show, you're excited they did something different.

Either way, it's a conversation that shouldn't be happening in a season billed as a "tribute to all the previous seasons of Power Rangers".

I think it's that statement where Saban went wrong completely. He should've said the final two episodes were the tribute, not the entire season.
