What am I looking at here? I see Silver Titanus at the top. Are those considered redesigns for a Titanus in Lost Galaxy or something?

Then at the bottom left, I guess that's the Detla Megazord? Including a red recolour?

At the bottom right, there's some kind of Astro Megazord redesign, and above that some weird T-rex thing?

Someone want to explain this to me?
>>
>>13649474
Silver Titanus is a remold of the Titanus toy for Space. Rumor has it if Countdown to Destruction was three episodes it would make an appearance with the Phantom Ranger.

The six Titanus beneath were proposed designs for Titanus for MMPR season 3.

Bottom left in red is the Mobile Armor Vehicle from Lightspeed Rescue.

On the right the Tyrannosaur looking one is the Samurai Zord. A Dragon Zord redesign for MMPR season 2.
>>
>>13649474
The flyer with two bikes Megazord is a proposed toy for Time Force with an unmistakable Red Time Force Ranger figure.

I never said this. You lack reading comprehension. But some of these(NS, MF) are incredibly mediocre shows. Others are alright to decent but not anywhere near as good as the fandom claims them to be. RPM and TimeForce are most definitely top tier series though.

And in no way am I a Sentai fag. I only recently got into it and am currently watching my third Sentai series right now.

The issue with that episode is that it says that Sentai is based on Power Rangers, rather than the other way around.

Really, if they wanted to an episode like that, they should have played it out as the Dino Thunder cast ending up in another dimension and then spying the Sentai footage from a distance before going back home. That'd avoid the whole "Sentai is a Japanese show based on Power Rangers" thing.

>>
>>13656774

The episode didn't claim that Super Sentai, the show that you watch in the real world is based on Power Rangers. In the fictional world of PR, in which the Power Rangers are real superheroes, there is a Japanese TV show that is based on their adventures.

The only comment you could really extrapolate from it is spelled out at the end of the episode, when Kira says something along the lines of "It's different, but still cool in its own way". Any claim of "They don't make it clear enough that Power Rangers is based on Sentai" is basically just sensitive pussies trying to find a way to be offended by something totally innocent.

>>13657105

I know, right? The source material was all over the place but the choreography for original scenes was fantastic.
>>
>>13657113

Dunno m8, I've seen basically nothing of the Neo-Saban era. I watched about two episodes of Samurai, was shocked at how bad the line delivery was (Power Rangers often gets mocked for bad acting, but I've never seen a PR series with acting as bad as Samurai). I've stayed away since then. Is it worth me catching up?
>>
>>13657118

No official announcement, but it's been submitted for rating. Just google it.
>>
>>13657148
I skipped Samurai and [S]MF to be honest. Samurai has its fans but there's a huge minority that may actually like MF/SMF.

Personally Samurai's biggest irk with me was "Clash of the Red Rangers" but that's just me.

Dino Charge is pretty good and it's on netflix, but if you're going to marathon any season on there, do it by Jan 1st, most of them are going off... for some reason.
>>
>>13656872
Sure, if there was enough budget to reshoot all the ground fights. The problem with Go-Busters wasn't the theme or toys, it was that you had Enter and Escape fighting in almost every episode and any shot with either of them is completely unusable.
>>
>>13657086
Jonathan Tzachor has been a producer on Power Rangers for a very, very long time. He's also infamously terrible to the writing staff and gives no shits about the quality of production. Under him we got Samurai being as lazy a cut-and-paste adaptation of Shinkenger as possible, and we would originally have had no Ranger cameos at all in Super Megaforce if he'd had his way.

Sure, and I guess that the Powerful Rangers have nothing to do with Power Rangers at all. It's not about it being "offensive", it's about it being misleading to people who don't know about Sentai and just dumb for people who do know about it.
>>
>>13656774
>The issue with that episode is that it says that Sentai is based on Power Rangers, rather than the other way around.

No it doesn't?

Kira even says later on "See? We're not so different after all Just a slightly different interpretation." The Abaranger in that episode is Power Rangers and the lesson is that you can do something different from the same material and still be cool.

Connor even acts as the Sentai purist, saying "They got it all wrong!" for the entire episode and grilling it on its eccentricities before finally coming around and acknowledging that the show they were watching actually got to be kind of awesome.

I never knew why this episode has the history of having people think it's actually purporting that Sentai is based on Power Rangers. It's like these people never watched an episode of South Park in their lives and can only take plot elements like that at literal face value.
>>
>>13657325

Ah, I forgot about RPM. Go-onger was basically a parody of Sentai, like Carranger, wasn't it?

It's pretty impressive how serious they made that series, considering what they had to work with. I guess it took some creative editing to get rid of the talking Mecha and the like.

You summed up filipinos there.

>>13657325
You can learn PR is based off sentai by a quick google search. I mean, the toku fanbase doesnt know what google is, sure, but if you don't know about sentai it's very likely you arent a toku fan either.
>>
>>13657402
RPM definitely, then Lost Galaxy and in Space who have completely different settings (in concept at least, the execution depends on the episode).
The disney era shows have many original plotlines in general too, Mystic Force even drops the family theme for anyone except red.

Arguably Megaforce and Super Megaforce also apply as very different from their counterparts, technically, but not in a good way.
>>
>>13657475

Adelaine Kane is on CW's Reign

>>13659148
They sort of stopped doing that when they realized it was more profitable to sell modular mechs/zords.

That said, there's the Mystic Force megazord and if Ninninger gets adapted, Shurikenjin also has two modes.

I've found the more vehicle-like the zords are, the further PR strays from Sentai.
Wild Force, Samurai and Jungle Fury are a lot like Gaoranger, Shinkenger and Gekiranger.
In Space, Lost Galaxy and RPM are not very much like Megaranger, Gingaman and Go-onger.
>>
What do you guys think of other series with a sentai-like format or sentai elements present?

I would of course exclude Metal Heroes/VRTroopers/BIG BAD BEETLEBORGS.

Examples would be Digimon Frontier (more like Frontier Sentai Digiranger)

Oh, Supercharge's premiere has an actual title instead of just naming it after the season. Cool.
>>
>>13659148
The Thunder and Zeo Megazords both had secondary mobile modes. Technically Lightspeed did too, though that was more of an incomplete Megazord that was rarely used. Wild Force had a carrier mode similar to the Zeo Megazord, but that was never used in-show. That's about it.

>>13659515
Pretty cool. I kind of wish some of those like Gransazer or the Rescue Heroes series got adapted, but it's probably for the best.

>>13666683
Too many to count. Mainly because in Italy they usually release the first wave of Zords and figures and then nothing until next series kicks in. To say:

We never had Zord releases for Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, Wild Force, Ninja Storm, Mystic Force, Operation Overdrive and RPM (this one was actually skipped when it aired first and the show was dubbed in the hiatus between Super Samurai and Megaforce).

When Super Samurai came out we got the Bullzord with inside the instructions for the Gigazord, except we never saw Octozord and Clawzord in stores during the Samurai toyline.

The Megaforce release was even more screwed up. The jets to make the Gosei Ultimate and the card game were never released, yet they aired ads for them on TV.

One year later, we got Legendary Megazord with nothing else to combine it with.

Now Dino Charge Megazord came at least with Raptor and Para Zords, that's something.

So, my white whales are:
>EVERYTHING FROM WILD FORCE
>Mystic Force Titan Megazord
>EVERYTHING FROM RPM
>>
>>13667417

With RPM though, you don't want the western releases, you want the original Japanese Go-onger Mecha, because the moulds are way bigger and better-looking.

I'm hoping to have a Go-onger G12 collection at some point next year, just because of how ridiculous that Ultrazord is. It ends up being the size of an adult Midget, when everything's combined.

Having many ranger suits doesnt make you good automatically.

And Kim gets all the praise because she was the first, as usual with this franchise. I mean, even Aisha and Rocky are usually ignored just because they werent the literal firsts at their colours. Adam at least gets some love here and there.

Tommy's case is more because he was the sixth, game changer, evil at first, etc., not because of the many suits, that's a plus. Most of his fans are nostalgiafags who don't care about anything past his White Ranger, sometimes not even past Green.

So, I'm watching Lightspeed Rescue for the first time, and holy crap, I'm only a few episodes in, but I fucking love it. I really enjoy how much time per episode is spent on the Rangers rescuing civilians. It actually seems to me like it was influenced by shows like Thunderbirds (the 60s puppet show), which I know was pretty popular in Japan. Also, the theme song is kickass.

I hope the quality is consistent for the rest of the season.

Which Power rangers theme is best and why?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU8Wrl_0AYQ
(TIME TIME TIME FORCE! POWER RANGERS TIME FORCE!)
>>
>>13669417

My favourites, roughly in descending order


>Lightspeed Rescue - Just an excellent theme, and it's great how the main melody is re-arranged for synth/orchestra for use during the episodes
>In Space - RAAAAAAAAAAAANGERS! (In Space!)
>MMPR (Movie) - Great cover of the classic theme
>MMPR - Classic, still sticks in the heads of people around the world
>SPD - Dat fucking riff
>Turbo - Clever use of guitars imitating engine revving at the beginning, catchy, with a nice callback to Go Go Power Rangers
>Zeo - Decent remix of Go Go Power Rangers, the super high pitched "Zeo"s get old after a while though
>Time Force - Would be higher, but the "racing to another time" part is pretty dull, and doesn't really fit with the rest of the song, which is great.

And, just for fun, the shittiest ones, in no particular order

>Lost Galaxy - The song abruptly changes key 3 times, and it just feels really disjointed and weird as a result
>Ninja Storm - There's absolutely nothing to grab on to here. Sounds like something that was thrown together in 10 minutes, and was never intended to actually become the theme song
>Mystic Force - I appreciate they tried something a bit different, but it just sucks, sorry
>Operation Overdrive - Fuck off

I've not watched any Neo-Saban stuff yet, and I feel like in order to truly judge a TV theme song, I need to have been able to put up with it at the beginning of every episode for a season.

That said, that theme sounds way better than what I've heard of the other Neo-Saban themes. I hope they don't have the Rangers shouting out their names in the opening credits like in Samurai and Megaforce?

Honestly, all the best parts of In Space' theme didn't actually made it into show's opening.

>>13669559
What really bothers me about Kyoryuger/Dino Charge Megazords is that their basic Megazord is for 3 zord. On a team that starts with 5 people and than gets another 5. Makes even less sense that they all use Rexy as basis, considering that Daigo joins the last of core 5.

>>13669591
It's just, we have them as normal, and then the core megazord is being formed by three different rangers with core ranger colored energem chest plates and one of the core rangers is now purple.

I'm just like "The fuck did I miss?!" when this happens. not to mention the fact that the transformation visuals are worse than Bridge's communication skills.
>>
>>13669609
Purple isn't really core. They'll probably use the same execuse they used in sentai - Kendall helps way more as weapons developer than actually in the field.
Our core is standart - Red, Blue, Green, Black and Pink. With Gold as sixth. Graphite just pops from time to time.

Eugh. I hate this trend. I miss In Space. Best Megazords by far.

>Astro Megazord, the first time we've ever seen a proper Megazord that wasn't made up of 5 individual ranger specific Zords
>Delta Megazord, remote controlled Megazord. Only the second time two full-sized Megazords have been able to combine to make a new configuration, without leftovers. (First was MegaDragonzord)
>Mega Voyager, a traditional 5-piece Megazord, great design, and considered a serious upgrade in power over even the AstroDelta Megazord
>Mega Winger, nice design, and can give its wings to the Mega Voyager to grant it flight, similar to the Falconzord joining the Ninja Megazord

I really hope they do Legacy releases of all of the In Space zords, and hopefully sort out the proportions so that the Mega Voyager looks a bit better, and the Mega Winger isn't a midget.

Kyoryuger had a super weird arc with ten guardian beasts that guarded their final mecha. There were 10 of them. They actually never got any toys in Japan. his and ammonyte, I believe, are PR-exclusive.

>>13669704
Honestly, Kyoryu's story is kinda crap. Remember Greenzilla from the final Dino Charge episode? That was the basic form of the final boss. Yes, it was around episode 20. And kinda killed the stakes when dude came back because:
a) he was 'defeated master that needs to be awakened' type in the first place. These work only with a very good writing
b) They already kicked his ass. Sure, he isn't a crazy beast anymore, but he already was defeated twice.
The characters are (mostly) great though. And action is pretty good.

Ok, /prg/!
What season has your favorite ranger design? And what season has the worst?

>>13669731
I can't really say I have a favorite ranger design, but one of the lowest on my list is Jungle Fury, mostly because of the the fact their helmets don't look right. One of the better ones for me would either be SPD or RPM.

>>13669731

I have a lot of individual Ranger favourites.

>MMPR Green
>Jungle Fury Violet

I guess if I had to pick a full PR team that has my favourite overall aesthetic, it'd probably be Ninja Storm. Especially the Thunder Rangers.

Only 4 episodes feature those, and one of those doesnt even fight. Considering it will be around 40 episodes, the cameos arent that big of a deal.

Yes, but they also don't have a combination that uses all 10 main zords. Or, hell even core Rangers. This piece of shit (pic) basically throws green away from the combination and makes him a spear AND doesn't use gold at all. It's not 'Oh my God, all Rangers together'. It's just another mecha.
>>13670774
But they use power-ups of their ninja predecessors AND a fucking Jiraya against Mangetsu. You know, our arc villain that probably isn't going to be skipped. Jiraya is actually not problem at all (just say that he is some unique ninja master), but previous Rangers are really needed.

Why is it that Power Rangers is now 3-4 years behind Super Sentai instead of only being a year behind like before?
>>
>>13676014
Nick's forcing them to split the seasons across 2 years (otherwise they'd be limited to 20 episodes per season). This is also why they've begun skipping seasons.

There was no Power Rangers in 2010, and when they came back, Nickelodeon made them do two seasons for a single team.

Why would Nickelodeon do that??

Is that why they have a 'Samurai' and 'Super Samurai' now?

They do this a lot. TMNT suffered greatly because of this rule, too.
There's a reason Nick's popularity keeps going down.

To be honest, isn't Spongebob on the constant repeat? They barely get 20 episodes in a year, too. If I remeber correctly, one of the seasons actually took 2 years to be over.
That reminded me of that one time they tried to have a Dino Charge marathon with only 8 episodes. That was pretty hillarious.
On the other hand, we now get 40-44 episodes instead of 32 that we had during the second part of Disney era.

It's funny how that works out, isn't it? The seasons are shorter, but ultimately the storyline is stretched out and we get to hang on to the characters longer. I guess that is a plus.

>>
>>13674562
Honestly he makes some good points, mostly stuff the fandom has already pointed out, but his ranting and bitching just reaches the point of whining.

I didn't think MF was that bad when it came out (but that's because I was too busy staring at Emma's legs, which is probably why I never noticed her character was complete shit).

It's also been a long ass time since I watched Gokaiger so I didn't notice that second scene to be refilmed with ( only one) PR suit. Just what the fuck? Why? At least the first one made some sense since it would have been the same character.

I think he does that to mantain the "character".
>>
>>13677484
Megaforce doesn't have plot. But I think nobody would have a problem with it if the characters were good. But they are not.
Troy is wooden as fuck. I don't know how much of it is Andrew's fault, but I'm pretty sure nobody could've made this character with this dialogue good.
Noah is even more of a nerd stereotype than Billy was. Which is amazing in all the bad ways.
Jake is OK, but doesn't really develops.
Gia is memorable only because Ciara is a good actor and is really charismatic.
Emma is going to wipe out the humanity so the plants will take over again.
Sixth rangers are the best, but Orion is underdeveloped and Linkara is completely justified in the freak out when Robo Knight returned in Legendary Battle.

>>13677484
>but the plot of MF seemed retarded and had too many things going on that people couldn't keep pace with it.

That's... The exact opposite of the problem.

The majority of the first season was spent stalling until the second, and when they finally get to it, it's meaningless because it's no more dire than the previous invasion! They literally spend five minutes dealing with the city getting blasted to hell, then they're back to school like nothing happened by the end of the Super Megaforce premiere.

Then to add insult to injury, only a handful of the episodic plots were really fun, which is kind of important if you're doing an episodic series with a plot in the background. Finally you have the production seemingly tanking everything on purpose, and it's painfully obvious the series was doomed from the start.

>>13678436
It's not his fault. He's got severe issues that prevent him from behaving like a rational person. Like the fact he dates trannies as a desperate ploy to convince himself he's even slightly straight. But I digress.

>>
>>13676829
Make it an intentional period piece?
>>13676650
No it wouldn't.
A-Squad turning evil, not because of mind control, or being rused into it, but because they wanted to and freely chose to, is the strongest narrative point of the season.
In fact, when Bridge scans them at the beginning of the season and senses something off about them, not only is it great foreshadowing, but when you look back on it, they hadn't even met Grumm at that point. They were most likely on the take already, just from people the plot didn't give a shit about because they weren't at Grumm-tier importance.

They're dirty cops, and that's way better than having them just be The People Who Are Better Than You.

It's also a fresher take on what TVTropes calls "Hero's Evil Predecessor", i.e. Shinobu Sensui in YYH, Ginjo Kugo as a tribute to him in Bleach, Black Adam in Captain Marvel stories, because the bad guys didn't go bad and rebel before the start of the story, and then we meet them after they've been bad for a while. They go bad and rebel within the story after having been idolized as these great heroes of justice. Or maybe it's not fresh, because we've already had Thaal Sinestro in Green Lantern stories.
>>
>>13678535
Bringing that timeranger is better than time force out of nowhere is trolling though, and I even agree with that opinion.

>>13677358
>Only three out of six rangers get a character development.
Are you new? That's pretty normal for sentai and PR. Heck, in Jetman, one of the better regarded sentai shows, only two of the 5 rangers are relevant (well, Kaori is, but just as an excuse for Gai and Ryu to fight over).

Timeranger just happens to be exceptional and give the 5 rangers something going on for them.

>>13679690
Wouldn't work, too childlike. American children like shows that tell them they're mature, usually by showing people older than they are act ostensibly mature.
Also, American kids don't really like trains because our train system isn't that important so we don't have a train culture like Japan does. It's all about cars and trucks here.
>>
>>13679690
My first thought was going full RPM on it, but probably won't happen. Honestly, they can play up the whole 'lost children' thing from ToQger and make them search for trains in the first season to help get home or something, because these are trains that jump across time or something... It starts to sound like Den-O. Chip can actually do it, considering that he is apparently a fan.
Can play up the fact that US doesn't really use trains anymore this way.
'It's an old train, lost to time, but it still protects people' or something.
>>
>>13679752
Perhaps have the villains using Trains that've turned evil because humans have abandoned them.

>The problem with Go-Busters wasn't the theme or toys, it was that you had Enter and Escape fighting in almost every episode and any shot with either of them is completely unusable.
Yet this wasn't an issue in Jungle Fury or Samurai since they pretty much made sure the villains had the same outfit as their counterparts so they could use the stock footage. I would argue though that GoBusters is difficult to adapt if we're following Amit's word on it. The 10 mins of stock footage was reduced to 6 - 8 meaning more money had to be placed on original footage, something hard to do on a cheap budget.

In both of those though, the villains had transformed forms that they used most of the time in combat. They could easily even have outright cut their human forms completely if they had wished to do so.

Enter and Escape, before the last 15 or so episodes don't even have monster forms.
