"By doing wildly different adaptations and shooting a lot of new material to make the show truly our own thing?"
"Nah, more like season 1. Shoot some stuff, then the episode becomes the cents ays."

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

that Hexagon or whatever guy gave some insight on his blog about the whole go-busters thing, and it mostly came down to being about 5 minutes of usable japanese footage per episode when their target for that is about 10 minutes minimum per episode and preferably more like 15

which i can believe pretty easily considering everything people have said about the series

I'm not sure Saban has ever done that, no.

When we talk about Saban doing this or that, we mostly mean the company, not the man. The man himself doesn't have much of a role with things. Kind of like Disney now.

Early PR Saban was a guy with a cheap studio pumping out Saturday morning cartoons like Kissyfur and at least one Nickelodeon style game show. His competition was companies whose names you have totally forgotten like Sunbow (Hasbro cartoons) and Ruby-Spears (Alvin & The Chipmunks).

Present day Saban is the CEO of Univision, is known for his foreign policy forums and political donations. He is a huge influence for the DNC's hawkish corporate wing to support Israel in the way that Sheldon Adelson is for the GOP. He has a lot more on his plate now to be bothered with PR. Yet the image of early Saban is so much more widely known that when Univision bought Gawker the comments were equal parts conspiracy that he'd tilt the news coverage, and confusion why the guy who makes MMPR would have a nefarious political agenda.

I haven't watched any Saban2 seasons before this one, but it sort of cracks me up how for as bad as Megaforce supposedly is, everybody's list of how to fix it is basically "please please please emphasize the pirate thing more oh god." Power Rangers just seems to really hate pirates as an aesthetic. Divatox was sort of an in name only pirate whose character was written on a napkin to be an alternative to the Carranger villains, and Captain Mutiny got hosed in order to build deeper bridges to In Space.
Pirates? Who the gently caress needs pirates?! We have morphinominal space ninjas!

I'm five episodes or whatever into Ninja Steel and it's nice enough, but I don't think I look forward to seeing the same cast change costumes to... Kyuranger? How the gently caress are they going to explain the substantially larger team? I guess I shouldn't doubt Judd Lynn to pull it off, though.

Is that their plan? I would expect 2 years of Ninja Steel and then 2 years of Kyuranger as their own self-contained shows.

and then like, "Star Rebels" and "Super Star Rebels" or whatever they end up calling Kyuranger. I'd be amazed if they skip Kyuranger, because supposedly Saban collaborated on the zord designs or something.

They are very likely to adapt Kyuranger though? It's Zyuohger they will be skipping. And by the time preproduction for <spacename>ranger starts Kruranger will be done and they know what footage they have to work with.

I think you guys are getting confused. Ninja Steel will be two seasons like Samurai and Dino Charge. Seasons 26 and 27 will be the Kyuranger adaptation.

Season ౩0 will be an adaptation of a Sentai where bandai/toei have hired Austin St John, Amy Jo Johnson, Walter Emanuel Jones, Jason David Frank, and David Yost, called Americanger. Saban will hire all Japanese Kiwi actors and make it Power Rangers Yamato.

Hell, by that time, they'll probably know if there's anything usable in the season after Kyuranger also.

I wouldn't be surprised if while he isn't directly involved with PR too much these days, he probably still keeps a reasonably close eye on the brand, after all he spent most of a decade bringing the concept to life in the first place, that's dedication and even a sort of love if nothing else

Apparently he was closely enough involved with Samurai to effect the script. I went to the last Morphicon and, in addition to most of the Samurai team, they had one of the primary script writers there. I asked what was up with some of Antonio's dialogue ( i.e. He is supposed to be a Latino, Spanish speaker but the actor clearly does not speak Spanish). In particular "fantástico" drove me nuts. The writer explained that Saban heard it once and thought it was so amazing that Antonio should say it all the time.

You can watch it if you want, kind of. All they did for this video was change the name of the show and adjust the source material from Bioman to Zyuranger. But the music and actors etc is just recycled from the Bio-Man pitch.
