Now seeing the Sentai footage I don't care for much at all. Why? Because like Hassan said before when we were kids and watched PR it would excite us, and that's what Power Rangers Super Megaforce is to kids right now, like what MMPR TF NS was to us.

I mean have some of you guys seen the little kid playing with the Samurai toys?!? He knew the phrases and everything.

So at the end of the day, should we really scream our heads off on seeing sentai only rangers? No! Why? Because if Rider did this most of you guys would be like "It's a nod!"

Now perhaps I'm not reacting like you guys, because I'm trying to defend Saban Brands or something, but I just don't enjoy spending my time online ripping PR for a 15 second scene.

When I was a kid and watched shows, they generally explained things. New things suddenly appearing in a franchise didn't just do so for no reason. Kids aren't stupid, as Saban seems to think they are.

What does a kid playing with a toy have to do with lazy editing?

What's the point of being a passive fan and just accepting whatever crap is thrown at you? It can be better. We KNOW it can be better. Why accept the least amount of effort version when even Saban has done better in the past?

You raise a good point. Kids wouldn't care regardless would they? They just wanna see cool super hero and robot action! If they cut all unmorphed scenes ad had twenty minutes of rangers fighting monsters, kids would probably still love it.

And y'know...if they put a little bit more effort into it, make it make more sense, explain a couple things...it'd still have cool super hero and robot action, so kids wouldn't care one bit!

So all in all...yeah we can want it to be better Kids would enjoy it regardless.

Well, while Decade has it's fans, a lot of people aren't too fond of it either, so.

Yeah, but even that isn't the same thing. Decade wasn't turning into Riders that had never been seen in the franchise before. If he'd started turning into characters from, say, Bima, then it'd be more comparable.

*Watches clip of Emma and Gia turning into Pink Flash and Yellow Mask*

You know, I was JUST about to make a post damning Saban for leaving footage like that in, but you know what? I don't have to. I think the clip in question speaks for itself.

Yup my thought put into better words basically, we want it to be better, but in the end just enjoy it for what it is, a kids franchise.

Now people could make the Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, or even Last airbender comparisons but in the end what you've got is what you've got, even Dragon Ball Z was a bit sketchy at times.

I was, uh...trying to disagree with you actually.

Guyver Spawn · 03-15-2014, 01:42 PM

I can't believe they used Maskman and Flashman. I would imagine Bioman could be used since Saban try to dub it back in the 80's, but those two? Are they going to use the Akibaranger suits next?

MrHerofan · 03-15-2014, 01:42 PM

Ohh well um awkward.
