Sweet

Didn't he say he planned on doing an addendum episode where he went back and pointed out errors on his part or facts he glossed over in previous episodes?

[Switchblade]

I'm glad this came out on a day when I had nothing better to do than watch Linkara get increasingly angry at this show for three hours.

I honestly have to disagree with one of his main points, though: this show was much worse than Operation Overdrive. That show was terrible, but at least it tried and failed to do something interesting. Megaforce, especially in season two, made absolutely no effort in any regard. I've been waiting to see Linkara tear into it and boy, was it worth the wait (especially that bit in part 5 when Robo Knight just randomly shows up alive again).

Watching all of this also makes me want to rewatch Gokaiger. We'll see if anything comes of that impulse.

For a season he sees as not as bad as OO, he seemed to have raged a lot more than he did in HOPR OO.

I had no idea Megaforce was such hot garbage. I knew it was bad, but ho-boy. I'm not even finished and it's still apparent how uttley doomed by laziness this was.

As I've said before:

"Samurai and Overdrive may continue to fight for "Who Sucks More" but they cannot hold the mantle of "Worst."
Megaforce is the worst. For there is no direction, humanity, development, humor or purpose. A botched story or a Copy/Paste is still a story, but if you haven't any story at all, you cannot achieve anything."

You know, if SMF was a full season of 40-50 episodes, they could've done so much. Fan theory of Rangers from other nations could be fulfilled by the Dairangers from China. Established rangers from other planets could be filled in by the Flashmen and that other team of Sentai rangers that were actually aliens.
They could've actually justified the Sentai only rangers with brief histories.

Instead, we got whatever the hell SMF was trying to be. Shame. I'm really glad Dino Charge isn't Go-Busters and Kyoryuger.

It makes me breath a sigh of relief that I didn't watch more than, like, 2 episodes of Megaforce and the Legend scene of Super Megaforce

Gotta say, he gave Megaforce the bashing I had hoped for, and more. Congrats to him on completing HOPR for now.

The part where Robo Knight shows up in "Legendary Battle" had me cracking up at Linkara's reaction to it. Poor guy.

And I agree, Megaforce is a LOT WORSE than Operation Overdrive. At least with Operation Overdrive, they only had to adapt one Sentai, whereas Megaforce had to adapt TWO. So far we don't know if Go-Busters will still be adapted at all for Dino Supercharge, but something tells me that it won't. This is rather contrary to what Linkara said about Saban having some sort of contract with Toei to not skip a season of Super Sentai, because if Saban can skip Go-Busters and go straight to Kyoryuger, then they really SHOULD have skipped Gokaiger altogether.

Gokaiger would have never worked for a season of Power Rangers anyway. So much of that Sentai was celebrating the then-35th anniversary of the series, and while the idea of a team of Rangers that can morph into previous teams of Rangers would have been the best idea for adapting into Power Rangers, what we got wasn't what anyone would have wanted. Super Megaforce was the result: A poorly-written, ugly, Frankenstein's monster of a season of Power Rangers that will no doubt go down as one of the worst seasons in the 22 years that this show's been on the air, if not THE worst.

Wow, I only saw a few episodes of this series, but I never want to watch it. Those were awful. WTF are they going to focus on Sentai powers when they didn't even bother doing anything with actual Power Rangers series?

I love when he starts getting really pissy in part 3 and then when he just pulls out the gun in the live bits in the fifth part after Robo Knight returned.

One thing I was hoping he would have commented on though was how the black ranger's fighting style changed when he became the green ranger.

Is this ever explained in the series, or is it just glossed over?
The wiki says it is “chalked up to excitement.”

Glossed over. The wiki probably is just trying to justify it in the nicest possible way.
