Well, technically, the assumed JDF for MMPR and Zeo also extends to Dino Thunder, too.

I mean do we really need THREE people representing Samurai?

To be fair, it's gotta be a hell of a lot easier and cheaper to get last year's cast from New Zealand than a bunch of actors from 10-20 years ago from all over America.

Yes, but then we have Ninja Storm onward.

Cut the fat with some of the Kiwi actors and get us Titanium.

Hell, turn to Bandai for funding like you did for Forever Red. Do something!

That alone should make Titanium as guaranteed as Jason David Frank.

Also, if Super Megaforce doesn't have Tommy appear, Tokunation, Rangerboard, Henshin Justice Unlimited and every other Power Rangers forum shall cry out so loud that all of the Internet shall know our anguish.

Most of Rangerboard is tired of Tommy, as am I. While I agree with Kickback in that it would be pretty stupid to not include him, I wouldn't care if he wasn't.

Turbo - Blake Foster (Justin Stewart, Blue)
In Space - Christopher Khaymen Lee (Andros, Red)
Lost Galaxy - no one confirmed
Lightspeed Rescue - no one confirmed
Time Force - Jason Faunt (Wes Collins, Red)
Wildforce - no one confirmed but one would assume Rick Medina (Cole Evans, Red)
Ninja Storm - no one confirmed
Dino Thunder - no one confirmed
SPD - no one confirmed
Mystic Force - no one confirmed
Operation Overdrive - Samuell Benta (Will, Black)
Jungle Fury - Jason Smith (Casey, Red)
RPM - no one confirmed
Samurai - Alex Heartman (Jayden Shiba, Red), Najee (Kevin, Blue), with Hector (Mike), Brittany (Emily), and Mia rumored via Najee's tweet to be returning

So blah.

A lone Wild Force Black costume was seen on a set. This could mean something, it could not.

In fact, JDF shows his love of Power Rangers and it's fans so much that he learned about this, he might even deny pay from Saban to increse casting funds along with paying out of pocket to help get Rhett to New Zealand somehow. Wishful thinking, I know, but still.

Kickstarters! Petitions! Contacting the Power Force! ANYTHING!

as a huge lightspeed rescue fan, I'm legit pissed

seriously, the titanium ranger was awesome, and if this is the 20th anniversary of the power rangers, they NEED to have the first original americian only power ranger in it

I very much doubt that. It's nice on paper to say "$1!", but its another thing entirely to actually appear for free. I think he just likes people liking him, hence why he said it. JDF isn't the Second Coming.

Saban are such ridiculous cheap-asses. So pathetic. There's a problem when they're half-assing such a hyped anniversary. You'd think this'd be the one time they loosen their wallets and then we'd have Jen, Ryan and Rocky back. But no, cheap Saban is cheap Saban.

Wow you wood that Saban will have saved some money here & there over the past 2 or 3 years just for all of this. Super Megaforce is starting to become a let down.

I'm not sure you understand how it works. Saban isn't going to go bankrupt from this. Every season has a budget and a few have gone over budget. It's what is willing to be spent on everything for the season. That money is supplied by Toei, his entertainment group and Nick for the licensing rights.

Saban has the money himself, but being a tightwad, he most likely won't put much, if any, of his own money to "make it happen."

Of course, people will be upset that Saban isn't doing what he can for the fans, but as long as he makes money, and he will, even if this doesn't meet the fans expectations (and it won't, regardless, as we have the bitchiest fandom I've ever seen).

The man is a genius as far as business goes. He's been doing it forever, and he knows what he's doing. He's not going to change his formula when the primary demographic will still tune in anyway.
