Why? Power Rangers has a different story from that of Super Sentai, and the comics show that going down a less Sentai-focused route can lead to good results. It makes sense that they might want to try new things with the series and see what it can actually become.

Legacy stuff will always sell to the adults, but as far as Zords and Mecha go, kids widely prefer CGI to rubber suits.

I hate this. I'd much rather see the slower, clunkier fights with actual suits over flashier CGI fights. The suitwork is basically why I got into tokusatsu in the first place.

But I understand that I don't speak for everybody, especially not their actual target audience, so it is what it is.

Not to mention, it's not like the franchise's previous owners haven't tried this approach before. Mystic Knights Of Tir Na Nog, The Rescue Mission from Lost Galaxy, the Spirit Rangers in Jungle Fury, Dimensions In Danger, it can be done.

I just don't understand why both ideas can't exist side-by-side in the eyes of alot of the fandom given that Power Rangers has almost always been about a mix of old and new, and swinging 100% in either direction loses alot of what makes the franchise what it is.

Word.

Honestly, my only issue with Cosmic Fury so far is the 10 episode limit. Unless there's a second season waiting in the wings, the Kyuranger mecha footage is gonna feel awfully cramped or rushed. And that's not even accounting for toy sales, since we don't even have pictures of what the Cosmic Fury Megazord will look like.

Even Alien Rangers struggled with adapting the Sentai fight scene footage, and most of its' Mecha footage had been used up in Season 3.

My biggest hope is that the season ends with the introduction of the next team, and that team using the Kyuranger suits. I feel like that'd be the best way to appease those who wanted a more traditional adaptation. And would still allow for domestic toys to be made of that season's' suits and mecha.

If Amelia is the new Red Ranger who the heck is
pink? Also is Izzy still green?

I see another problem -

We have Amelia and her Rangers so are we going to
get 7 extra Rangers?

This will be the first year without a pink since 2008, on either side of the ocean.

Just realised something; if you sidelined Zayto as the group's Sixth Ranger and made Aiyon the Yellow Ranger, you could get away with adding an Armour gimmick using the Zords. That way, each member of the core team would get two colours instead of just one.

Are we getting two gold Rangers?
