Agreed, and honestly it just brings with it a whole bunch of unnecessary work with likely middling at best results out of a misguided attempt at being creative

Yeah, this is basically MMPR S2 again (right down to Zedd being the big bad) except we aren’t even getting a single ranger from the Sentai this time

The Sentai already exists, and that season wasn't even particularly successful

Sadly those were phased out in Japan due to laws about customized motorcycles. It's why Kamen Rider of all series barely uses his own motorcycles

What was the last season where all of the Rangers had their own non-zord vehicles? The hoverboards from Megaranger/Space?

Edit: Hurricanger/Ninja Storm had motorcycles as well, Abaranger/Dino Thunder had the Raptor Riders and Magiranger/Mystic Force had the rocket brooms

He's apparently going to be part of the team for the whole season and, appropriately enough, even gets to pilot the wolf zord from Kyuranger

I'm pretty stoked about it too.

I'm one of those plebs who only comes back for anniversary shows and the like, so it'll be nice to have an excuse to watch a whole season.

Have you seen Dino Fury at least though? Because this is a direct sequel that reportedly starts immediately where the finale left off

No, but it's Power Rangers. I doubt I'm gonna' have too hard a time catching up.

Most of the anniversary specials are from shows I've not seen anything else of and I followed them just fine. If I wind up liking it, I'll go back and watch Dino Fury.

You’re not going to understand a single thing but sure, whatever you want (the previous season had a surprising amount of lore for a PR show and even tied back into Beast Morphers a little bit)

In other words, this is literally Dino Fury Season 3

Simon Bennett who's the PR showrunner says to watch the last nine episodes of Dino Fury before the new stuff if you watch nothing else.

FWIW, I've gotten the exact opposite response from literally everyone I know who watches (who have universally said "DF is really bad even for PR, don't waste your time") so I wonder what the thread liked that they didn't.

The only bad parts of dino fury are the obligatory comedy duo segments, and those are not always bad, the actress doing them is charming and fun to watch but you are going "ok let's get on with it" a lot of the time. But that's to be expected, the target audience is six year olds, that's fine.

Dawgstar
Jul 15, 2017

Yeah, Dino Fury felt like what happens when you give some charming actors room to develop their characters and it rocks. (The reverse of that is Megaforce and I feel bad for Ciara Hanna because she seems cool.)

It's hard to gently caress up a dino-themed season.

Ninja-theme is either ok or dire.

And just give up if you're doing a car season that isn't RPM.

Lightspeed rescue is as much a car season as rpm

Larryb

Eh, Turbo had its moments but the writers couldn’t really decide if they wanted to take it seriously or embrace the goofiness of the Sentai so it kind of waffled back and forth.

RPM was a much better attempt at trying to make a comedy Sentai serious while at the same time still having fun with it

I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?



Sorta sidestepping from that point. Which theme has the best average show?
I know plenty themes have overlap, but like the "main" theme.

Animals/nature is probably up there with dinosaurs.

I think "professional ranger" has high quality on average compared to other themes

Lightspeed rescue
Time Force
SPD
RPM
Beast Morphers

Really the only dud there is Operation Overdrive

Which is a shame because OO has some of the best Zord designs in the franchise, including probably the cleanest combination of more than 6 to 7 Zords in a Megazord formation that has ever been done

Oh I thought I was alone in this opinion! I can't accurately describe why but there's just something I absolutely love about the Overdrive zords, it's just a shame what happened to the entire rest of the show...

I hate how the Megaforce Zord is basically a toy with 20 attachment divots on to put (shark head, lion head, bullshit) on like it's a loving Lego set.

Probably the Ultrazord from Samurai/Shinkenger (that thing could barely move).

Second place probably goes to the most recent Megazord from the current Sentai King-Ohger

One of those instances where the Super Sentai source material is miles better than the Power Rangers adaptation

Probably a tie between RPM and Samurai since both seasons have a 12 component combiner
