JT Smiley posted:I'm actually amazed that Saban managed to take something as bland as Goseiger and water it down even more with Megaforce. From what I understand, Megaforce is going to have a pretty short run and is only there to fulfill the no-skip series clause while they move on to Gokaiger. On the other hand, the Megaforce Red guy will still probably be there and it will be boring.

I would rather watch Turbo than any show post-SPD (excluding RPM). This is still better than Samurai, I guess...?

Gokaiger had the advantage of a presumably larger budget and more importantly being in a small country where everyone at most is a few train rides or a short plain ride away.

Box of Bunnies posted:Really cements the "this is a show for boys and the female characters really don't matter as much" thing though even if it was entirely innocuous. One of the few things that Saban nowadays is still better at than Disney is making the effort to cater a bit more to females, mostly by reverse-gendering some rangers. I could see Disney sticking to keeping the Yellows in Time Force, Lightspeed, MMPR, etc. as males.

mikeycp posted:There's a lot of non-transformed fight footage, and most of the suit-up sequences aren't stock footage. The non-transformed fight footage can just be more scenes between the lifeless characters pretending to have emotions and considering how they're going about adapting Gokaiger by making it a Super Mode (Still don't know the gently caress's that about), editing what is relatively an easy morph sequence shouldn't be a problem. Unless they hire an editor from a backwater swamp computer school or something.

I meant why make it even a Super mode, just have them wear the Gokai suits so they don't have to go Goseiger->Gokaiger->Other Form. That is unless they do want to do that because they can't write characters for poo poo with the time saved.

Cliff Racer posted:They've outright said that the new version of the show aims a little bit younger than the classic version, more in line with sentai's audience which sort of makes sense since they hew pretty closely to it now even when they change plot points. What does aiming younger have to do with having lovely actors and directors that can't do their job?

You're still not answering my question. Aiming younger has nothing to do with static actors that doesn't seem to understand where he is half the time.

They had an episode where past rangers existed, so it's not like they're breaking a sacred rule when the MMPR crew was the first.

Zonekeeper posted:Saying "everything that hasn't appeared in an American series is from a pre-MMPR team" doesn't really work for Dairanger - their costumes are very similar to the MMPR White ranger and the helmets have the same animal designs as the S2 zords. "Billy found some ancient text and based it off that." It's really not as complicated as you guys are making it out to be. The lore isn't what kids care about. The stupid, terrible sound effects is a far bigger crime than any lore being broken.

At least they were fortunate Gokai Yellow is also a plucky tomboy, but then again we already expected Gina to be the best character. Should've went balls out and made her Red, at least get something out of this clusterfuck.

The material has nothing to do with it, Saban's already been given 2 out of 3 great materials and hosed it up with lovely actors that can't emote for crap, among other things. The current red makes Jason of MMPR an eccentric loony tunes by comparison.

It hurts so much. Not the lovely morph or the really terrible actors, but the sound effects. I would almost tolerate all that poo poo if they just kept in the actual sound effects instead of whatever that muted beep beep noise they use as action sfx. edit: I mean, listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXFDtU6l59o&t=17m20s Actual sound effects and no million words per second.

Saban really thinks kids are retarded, like the one scene where Red, Blue and Green exchange their 2nd weapons. The original just gives one word, the character's name, and the cool switch happens. Transcript of the same scene: Green: I need more firepower! Guys, give me a blaster! Blue: Right, coming your way! Red: Heads up, Jake! *catches* That'll work! Green: Thanks! Nice switch! Blue: Now put it to good use! And then about 3 more lines. That poo poo was annoying back in the 80's with Robotech. It's 2014, Saban. Kids have Ipads, they know what a tiny sliver of subtlety is.

I disagree on the roll calls, watching Sentai there's more than enough that goes on despite 1:30 opening lengths and 2 minute roll calls. I don't feel the same with Post RPD series, they feel so meandering.
