Agreed. I don't really watch Power Rangers so it doesn't matter much to me.

I love Power Rangers, but after seeing that purple octopus in Dino Fury, I don't have much faith in Hasbro's CGI to do Kiji and Inubrother justice.

You're right. It was a stupid idea to adapt it into PR anyway.

Not in this camp! More in the "Adapt Everything" camp.

I see DonBro being a way to nod the country that gave us PR by setting it in Japan. Granted, the Momotaro folktale doesn't have the same extent of cultural meaning in the West, but PR could be used as a vehicle to spread culture in this case. The only real Western comparison I can make is "James and The Giant Peach"!

One aspect I can imagine is making the adaptations of Kiramager, Zenkaiger, and DonBro into a friggin trilogy!

Sonoi and the other two are key. They appear from the onset. They have relations and confrontations with Sentai Villains that the OG Versions haven't yet. It's all a buildup to a battle with nearly a trillion Shisotsuki and Benitsuki who have unknown origins. They're all "destroyed", but they rain down and infect anyone and everyone! When a "King" Monster (the giant-sized versions we've seen so far in DonBro, reimagined as human-sized monsters who can enlarge at will) senses an infected human, they use the power of a "Ranger Gear" to transform said human into a monster. The team don't use the Morphin' Grid in the conventional sense cause this is an alternate universe that has little to no knowledge of the Grid! Instead, they enter a digital subspace to exchange places with their "Ranger Forms"! It isn't until they achieve Robotic Transformation capabilities that they legitimately morph. Don Onitaijin replaces Don Zenkaioh as the first primary Mecha, and the finisher is amended to make it less peachy! You also have the added benefit of Red making an in-joke with the line "Make My Megazord Grow!" As for InuBrother and KijiBrother, they're humans turned into animals! They can't regain a human form unless they switch places with their "Ranger Avatars" or legitimately morph!

That's the nuts and bolts of what I have so far.

I personally don't see the point in adapting Sentai anymore, haven't since I discovered Sentai in '09. IMO, Power Rangers is an antiquated concept when every other show under the sun films their own footage or at least has other units filming for them specifically.
Sure, you have adaptations of shows, like how Brooklyn Nine-Nine was adapted for French-speaking Canada. But they still bothered to film everything themselves.

And yeah, you can call me a Sentai snob, purist, elitist, whatever. That doesn't change what power rangers is at its core. To paraphrase a quote from a movie from 2012: "It's a cost-cutting measure; everything special about it came out of Japan."



TL;DR: I'll only see PR as a real franchise once it stops using Sentai footage, unlike now where it's just a "best of Super Sentai" with dubs.

Don Murasame will also be capable of Alter forms.

I have no beef with Sentai purists. Based on my observations on this forum, there are a lot of people here who don't seem to care about PR, but most of them are just like, "I don't like PR, it's not for me", which is fine. To each their own.

However, you claiming it's not a "real franchise" sounds like gatekeeping to me, implying that people who enjoy PR are somehow wrong, or like Storious from Kamen Rider Saber believing anything derivative and unoriginal has to be inherently worthless. If people learn and change by watching PR, then that alone justifies its existence.

One can never have enough transforming shark robots.

How many purple shark mechas are there in Super Sentai? The only one I can think of is GaoHammerhead.
