I'm with you, especially if they pulled a LG on the footage and wrote something fresh for the out of suit scene with lovely hints of tribute here and there and a splattering of sentai plot line.

Buuuuut...

The worst was SPD. They were clearly all grown adults, and the show treated them as such. But there were at least three episodes where characters would reference them as teens in a completely unironic fashion. And I was just like DEEERP.

Dino Prisms? That's a surprisingly good name coming from Saban.

As a kid, I always just assumed they were adults.

What are you basing that on exactly?

He's done well by Saban's bottom line so far in the Neo-Saban period. Absolutely no reason to get rid of him.

On the other side of the argument I can totally see someone listening to people complaining about him (whether those people are us fans or perhaps say stressed out writers?)

The most likely option is that Tzachor is doing his job as executive producer as always. Ie, he is the guy making the money decisions NOT writing necessarily (though plenty of execs like to meddle in that too.) The simple reason why what we know sounds so un-Tzachor? They might have got a new head writer on staff for this one whos a far bigger personality than Jonnie T and has run rings around him.

Ooooor, you know, we could give the guy credit and say this is his turning point, or exception to his sentai obsession, or him saying "I don't need to meddle with this, it's dinosaurs, whatever you write will be fine because it'll sell regardless."

I don't think Tzachor is incapable of original seasons. He was in charge during In Space, for example. And even when Time Force was slavish to Timeranger, it was still competently written and acted.

Precisely!

Although during the In Space era weren't people like Judd Lynn involved too? The team professionals surround themselves with can have a huge difference on the final product. For example, Steven Moffat with Russel T Davies as showrunner produced some bloody amazing episodes of DW... when the moff is in charge however...

I don't believe for a second that Tzachor is useless. I don't buy in to that at all considering he got the job at the end of the day. I just think he could do with some fresh ideas, or perhaps even re-gaining the experience on how to create a decent season of PR. Hasn't done this precise job for a while after all right?

I can easily see Dino Charge going in either direction. While the bounty hunter stuff doesn't sound vary Kyoryuger and the prisms are given way more importance than the amber tears ever were, it could still be slavish to the source material...

Whether in a LG/TF way, or a Samurai way remains to be seen.

Perhaps young adults will take over this ranger team 4 a while.

How do u see the 11 rangers? (10 + deathryuger)

Aside from people who enjoyed Go-Busters, there's no one in the American target audience who'd pick them over a season full of dinosaurs. You can't pretend toy sales don't matter here. Go-Busters bombed painfully. Kyoryuger is raking in the best profit in 10 years or something, or so I heard.

You do the maths. It's all business, my friend.
