Am I the only one worried that the plot of the Megaforce rangers not being angels will really pull the series through the floor? Saban's "completely original" comment is really worrying me. I keep on trying to watch the US versions of the Sentai lines but in the end I just cant stand them. I understand all the reasons for the modified writing so I'm not asking for a perfect translation or high budget production but come on..... there are some details that SHOULDN'T CHANGE! Sorry if that seems like obnoxious fandom -.-

No, I'm with you. I wish they'd have kept Angels to but they couldn't. For alot of reasons. Because they combined Gosei and Gokai, the complaints they'd have coming in because Angels, and on and on.

And also I think beyond that, the concept of angels, at least here in the US, is related directly to religious belief and in Japan they're more of a cultural entity rather than spiritual object so here in the US it's too touchy for public children's tv. As long as we get a proper Gosei Ultimate and not some "super megazord silver mountain!" I'll call it even lol.

... Super Megazord Silver Mountain. Is it wrong I like the sound of that

Given that it seems Gosei is based on Gosei Ultimate, it seems doubtful we'll even get him at all unless they've made him into some sort of Ninjor/Auric type character.

Long as they change the voice. Ninjor made me cringe.

Had a thought about my post: Who did the original voice for Zordon? What they surprise us all and use him again as the voice of Gosei? That would be freaking epic!

Yes. Such classics such as OhRanger, Megaranger, and the eventual Gobuster.
It would be such a shame for Americans to take them and, you know, make them good. :I

Keeping them as Angels would be a PC nightmare.

You missed the point. Angels in Japan has nothing to do with cultural perspectives. It's the same reason tons and tons of anime fill themselves up with crosses, the tree of life, the tree of Sephirot, the star of David, and etc. It's nothing more than something cool they saw in a book.

It is one of the best roller coasters at Disneyworld.

Seriously. Hideaki Anno probably hoards Jude-Christian iconography the way some people stockpile internet porn.

so true

Yeah I see the points all across the board. And although I didn't speak my mind completely clear, I didn't miss the point I was simply trying to point out that there is a difference in perspective between the Japanese culture and the American. Thats all. And as far as seeing gosei, I feel that we may get the Megazord but in a botched way. I'd hate to see him become some kind of playset that just turns into a zord builder backpack. As long as I get my ship mode, robot mode, and combining feature, I'm happy. Names aren't too important. But the lack of Datas kinda makes me sad. Same with Samurai's lack of a daigoyou that could use the Megazords arms and legs like in the original series. I'm glad we got the figure but a transforming spider holds nothing to the original awesomeness.
