Wow, Walter Jones hasn't aged a day.

Legacy continues to be the sickest toyline Transformers has ever put out oh my god

There is also something else: whether the 30th Anniversary Special is directly connected with Cosmic Fury or if it's a feature unto itself.

Yost and Jones are already confirmed, but that's not all. Charlie Kersh has been cast as Trini's Daughter!

That's hardly a fair comparison when MMPR was all anyone had to go off on back when 2 and 3 happened whereas this is the first time a season seems to be down to merely 10 episodes with original suits rather than taking Sentai footage when people actually knowing what a Sentai is. Especially with the assumption that the people unhappy with this were even around back then.

As for my stance on this, I'm curious as to how this'll work. I guess it's one way to handle Kyuranger as no way in hell would a starting cast of 9 work for 10 episodes work at all. The only suits we've seen being like, kitbashes is also weird but this is also a series first

The decision actually kind of makes sense to me. The reason MMPR did it is because they were worried a shift in suits would ruin the branding they had built up so far. It was a safer bet to use the established suits, so maybe that's what they're trying to do here? Perhaps they don't like the Kyuranger suits - while the suits are cool, they are a bit out there, and there's 10 of them to boot. Building upon the last suits could be seen as a safer bet because the suits are more standard and will be more familiar to audiences.

Also, they could potentially be testing the waters for having a wholly original Power Rangers series moving forward?

I think the questions we need to talk about right now is the anniversary bit involving the returning cast members and the new girl "Yen"?

Yup. The huge level up in build quality that the merger between Hasbro and Takara bought along with the WFC trilogy comes to full fruition now that the obligatory G1-characters are done and Beast Wars had a great run. Because now they can choose the more niche characters that rarely get toys and go ham.

Tarn for example is freakin' amazing looking, love that one.

To be fair, I don't think there is a single Sentai or Rangers show where everyone gets equal screen time. Even if it's not "Red and the Other Rangers", some characters still get more attention than others.

A lot of different factors really did culminate in the best thing possible. Of all guys I'm looking forward to Needlenose and Soundblaster but I LOVE their new Junkions, and while Hot Shot specifically doesn't interest me if they do more Armada in future I'd be interested... Sideways might be too hard to resist
