The game is more based on Sentai, and Sentai actors have a history of moving on to very mainstream and popular things.

Right, but what I'm getting at is that I'd like to see actors that haven't moved onto mainstream/popular things, in-game reflected by not being based on actors that are already in mainstream/popular things. Less Wesley Snipes and more Walter Jones, is what I'm saying. That way it'd feel more like "bunch of unknowns being hired" like PR was.

My team isn't quite as progressive, but Lead is a black martial arts dude (RED), second in command is this furry guy (GREEN, swapped the colors and roles by accident) techie is this ginger dude (BLUE) scout is a latin lady (PURPLE) and assist is a blond girl (PINK). I kinda find my mix-up funny because the ginger guy looks tough and is weak and shoots a lot while the guy dressed in a panda suit destroys goons in one attack.

The only crossover in Lost Galaxy was with the In Space Rangers themselves.

They also had a shout out to Doctor Who but that's neither here nor there.

In Space had the crossover with the Turtles cartoon, and the third season of the original Mighty Morphin' had a crossover with Masked Rider.

The turtles crossover was the only turtles tv show that WASN'T a cartoon.

Although, it does totally have the soundtrack of an awful cartoon.

It was actually a full series that they crossed over with, not just them making suits for a one-off event. Bear in mind though that this was relatively close to the release of the second turtles movie (couple years after, I think) so its not like live action turtles were an unheard of thing at the time.

Yeah I know, the sound effects I'm talking about are from the full on show. They are horrible and constant. It's like a soundboard of generic cartoon sound effects going off constantly and sometimes they play that little tune that plays when burning software finishes and it's loving weird.

It's a pretty bad show, don't watch it. It had pretty much exactly one good idea, which is squandered: Shredder was homeless after his defeat and the turtles wondered if they could forgive him / should help him for about 2 minutes.

No tips from me sadly, I kinda just brute forced my way through by having my support constantly healing my assault. I would suggest using as many weapon-based team attacks as possible since that should take out a decent chunk of woodmans health.

Right is pretty generic, but at least the actor gave enough of a poo poo to try that "emotion" thing everyone seems to be raving about.

Right was fine, definitely better than Takaharu. Right was a better red than Jan from Gekiranger.

That actor gave all he had, though, and was charming. Way better than Takaharu, who's as charismatic as an Eggo.

I actually don't disagree with you; Takaharu is the worst red I've seen. The difference is that I hate Takaharu because he draws attention away from the rest of the team, who deserve more screen time. In Gekiranger, everyone got screen time and I didn't like any of them except Violet.

I adore Gekirangrer. The characters are basically manga archetypes. Once I understood that, I was golden. That's not to say that I don't love Jungle Fury because I love it, too, but I think the writer's strike really screwed up its ending story arch. For example, who wouldn't want to see Fran piloting Dom's zord like Miki got to do with Ken's?

As a side note, I finished Dino Thunder and it was a lot of fun. Too bad its ending was a wet fart. Upon recommendation from friends, I am now watching TimeForce. Jen is so great. :allears:

On one hand, Takaharu prevents the others from getting a chance to be real characters, but on the other, the season hasn't finished yet, and they had the audacity to replace Captain Marvelous with Troy, so I'm inclined to say the latter.

Pretty much my feeling, too. Give us a different lead, and I'd probably have stuck with Nin^2. Give Super Megaforce a different lead, and it'd just be a waste of good talent in a still-bad show.

That's not to say that a single excellent character can't make a bad series worth watching, it's just that they have to be amazing (Oren during the meandering, aimless middle part of Kamen Rider Gaim is a good example), while even just someone who was mediocre would make Nin^2 watchable.

this is incredibly accurate. The other Ningers are cool, the villains seem pretty great and the monsters are amazing. There's just this huge problem of Red being terrible.

This wouldn't even be that big of a deal if the series didn't give Kyoryuger a run for its money on Red-centrism. At least it's gotten a bit better at that, but it was unbearable how everything went around Takaharu.

Yeah, it's a bit of a problem when the one getting the lion's share of the focus is also the worst actor out of the entire cast. Maybe he'll get better as the show goes on though, one would hope anyway.

Maybe now it will shift into Gold-Centricism as he tries to kick everybody's asses for grandpa attention.

Also, Marvelous->Troy was an atrocity, but everybody in the main cast of Dino Charge is a perfect cinnamon roll, so it kind of makes up for it in my book.

Takaharu can't even convincingly deliver that awful "I'M FIRED UP" line that they are desperately trying to make a catchphrase. Where is Akagi from Akibaranger? He could do it!

Yeah, those guys delivered an alarmingly enthusiastic "Pain is Strength". I really liked Akibaranger a lot :shobon:

Also, I'm really looking forward to Power Rangers Ninja Force, or whatever, so we can get like a full 2 or 3 episodes of mileage out of "Really? A cowboy?" from the western cast who can't even believe they have to deal with this crazy Texan or whatever. Maybe Saban will find a Red who can convince us that he's Fired Up.
