Yeah. Especially considering the Megaranger morph isn't anything elaborate and worth keeping (Since, outside of editing "MORPHING COMPETE" over the "Mega[Color] Ready" text, it's the same, so you can see how simple it is).

Or perhaps they just blew their budget...

It's terrible, it's entirely sentai footage minus a headshot and they even skip that half the time. And then during the simulation battle they left in the footage where it is says 'MegaBlue MegaYellow', da fook.

Right I'm skipping Shellshocked which Amazon has hilariously misspelt - not into a funny word or anything it's just hilarious that even Amazon cares so little they misspelt it. So onwards with episode five!

Man remember when Power Rangers had a plot, and actual characters? These were the days. This is the badly acted love story about how a Hispanic man fell in love with a man from across the stars.

The scenes on KO-35 were great, even though the weight of the scenes seemed to have more implicated weight...than actual ramifications. It mean it's pretty damn dark to see Andros walking through his dead planet. I know it was just due to sentai limitations but the fact there is no visual damage and it's just empty makes the implications seem all the more terrifying. As if KO-35 fell before a single shot was fired.

Shame the mood was completely ruined with Ecliptor coming back to life out of nowhere and engaging Andros in a battle to see who can make the very worst pun out of their battle to the death. Why are fights with Ecliptor always these horribly edited strings of scenes that have barely any cohesiveness and are over in seconds?

Also what the hell did Carlos smash through reality itself?

Well I suppose I should talk about what my opinions about Time Force have been thus far.

Well the first episode had me amazed, as to what seemed like original footage most of the way. As well as the ending of the episode like wow, they actually did that, and now the pink has something to fight for.

The characters I enjoy more than what Megaforce offers which is to be expected.

Now as for the Japanese footage, it's really obvious to me when watching, or when they used Green Screen.

So overall I enjoy it though KR Wizard has a bit of a larger priority right now.

Just Restarted Operation Overdrive for my review series.
First two episodes made me want to stop already XD

Just finished RPM and I can't believe I have been missing this all this time! Love the show and its ending.

After Samurai and then Megaforce I still dunno how people can really think OO is all that bad.

In Space 6.

As always, the quantity of American footage was great...it's just a shame that the American footage is just not that great in itself. The American morphed footage was certainly better than that terribly edited mess at the start of the show, but it really isn't there yet and don't get me started on those space battles *shudder*.

Still between the gorgeous Astronema strutting about and the really well done unmorphed battles, it isn't at a total loss. Especially as this show is clearly driven by its own plot, not the plot of the sentai footage.

It gets better once Darkonda shows up.

In Space 7.

To get it out of the way, the creativity and unique identity of In Space is both refreshing and rather wonderful both in comparison to Megaforce but also just in general. There is some really well done American footage, integration of sentai elements and so far the plot has been interesting, engaging and exciting.

The problem is, a lot of the creative decisions are well...kinda bad. Firstly, it almost feels like In Space is trying to find where the hell to put the footage. They have to use at least 20% right? So although things like the holodeck training feel initially inspired, you also can't help get a lingering feeling that it's just tacked on there to hit their quota. Especially as they've used the same fight for this sequence twice.

Even the stuff actually used directly in the episodes is pretty awful, being that it's regularly spliced to the point of utter incoherence. For one scene the monster of the week is a giant, the next he's regular sized, Ecliptor comes out of nowhere and the monster vanishes. I'm not kidding, all of that happens over about five seconds. Not to mention once again both he and the monster of the week go down in the space of about ten seconds.

Also wow, Andros is way more Daigoy than I remember, not only was this episode centred almost exclusively on him but pretty much the entire show is. Although Alpha goes on about Zordon's 'master plan', all the other Rangers in this show feel almost like baggage, they are there by chance, and it only further cheapens them that as Zordon is being killed by Dark Spector in space somewhere...they still go to school, completely grounding Andros and their entire mission.
