❤ Lovely Warrior ❤ Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Been rewatching Jetman and I remember why it's my favorite Sentai, but I forgot how useless Kaori was. She's not a good fighter, can hardly pilot her jet, and seems really counter productive to the rest of the team. The only reason she seems to be needed in the show is to create the love triangly between her, Guy, and Ryu. Though she has had her moments of epicsuaceness. Hopefully she becoms a more productive as the show goes on, I have only seen half the season in the past so I don't know the later half of the season. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
❤ Lovely Warrior ❤ Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Sorry for being so inactive. We are kinda in the "dead zone" right now, meaning we are in the middle of both PR and Sentai and no real news on a new series and no others news that's really notable. Also since I haven't been watching either of the current shows I can't say anything about them.... *sighs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kōsuke Ueki Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 It's alright Lovely. There will be news soon enough. Just got to be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greiga Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 So they were gonna hire Aisha's actor but she said no, Rocky's actor said no, now Matt Austin/Bridge's actor also said no. Their reasons were all the same: After factoring in air fare, hotel, and food, they would have literally been paid nothing. When you consider they would be away from home for anytime from 2 days to a week, it would benefit them more to just keep working at their day jobs than to act for a 10-15 minute scene. Matt even said he makes more per hour at his day job than what Saban is trying to pay the veterans. They also recruited the Titanium Ranger's actor, then unrecruited him (again due to "budget"). Don't even get me started on how apparently no Disney rangers besides Casey (Jungle Fury) received a call, and how they apparently said during Samurai's run that the Disney era doesn't exist. On the toku side, I'm loving Wizard and Kyoryuger. Update: Super Megaforce will not use PR exclusive keys, in an effort to stick to Gokaiger footage. Saban doesn't care, and if he did then Disney would still have Power Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Crouton Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 It looks like we'll see Tommy. Apparently, JDF said he'd do it for free, though it's probably to help further sell his MMA career by giving him TV time on the show everyone knows him for. Other than that, I don't see a reason for any other veteran actors to return. Kimberly is on that show Flashpoint, Adam does anime voice-acting for nearly every anime that gets dubbed, and god knows what everybody else is doing, but it's probably making them more money than fighting stuntmen in monster suits. Furthermore, Megaforce, with or without veteran rangers, looks like it'll end up crap like Samurai. Watching the first 9 episodes, the Rangers are boring, save for maybe Jake, the lead villains are more forgettable than Xandred's crew, the zords look awful (blaming the Sentai for that,) the sixth ranger's debut was poorly written, and Gosei is useless since it seems the rangers just resolve the issues on their own. Even if we did get a handful of veterans (most of which will probably be from Samurai, seeing that Jayden might be returning,) it's clear the writers for this season are horrible, and will probably just throw them onto the screen with little thought. Well, hopefully the card game becomes mildly popular. Sentai-wise, I stopped watching Kyoryuger after 2 episodes. Starting with Go-Busters, it's becoming painfully clear that the staff is making the morphing a more needlessly complex process each season, with the annoying music and stupid dancing just to activate the suits. It's stupid because it raises the question "why don't the bad guys just shoot them while they morph." In recent seasons (starting mainly with Goseiger,) Sentai's developed the same problem that Masked Rider has had since around Den-O; Too many toy gadgets with loud noises and voices, and not enough practical tools. This may just be because of all the coverage by the Sentai blogs, but it feels like they spent a lot of time hyping up the debut of KyoryuGold. Also, I'm tired of them recycling the "I'm stupid, but it's okay to be stupid because we win because I'm stupid and don't think things through" archetype for the Red Ranger. Kyoruger may have made Power Rangers/Sentai history by having a lame first morphing scene and a boring first Megazord formation sequence. Beyond that, I took a peak at a recent episode, and like previous recent Sentai, the villains seem really dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
❤ Lovely Warrior ❤ Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Actually Jayden, Emily, Mia, Mike, and Kevin are going to return for a team-up as confirmed on the actor who plays Kevin's twitter, but no news on whether Antonio is coming back or not and it's about a 90% chance Lauren won't show up ether. Unfortunate since Lauren was the only character I found even remotely interesting. If Power Rangers continues this crap streak I might not even bother with any new series. The actors are flat as hell, the story sucks, the villains are forgettable, and so on and so forth. It's become another crap Nick show. Honestly I think Disney handled the series better and despite what Saban says the Disney era happened and a majority of the Disney seasons were actually pretty good unlike what we have now. Though while I think it a bit lazy I actually like the fact they are using Gokaiger keys in Super Mega Force, mainly because it was irking my nerves they gave most the past yellow ranger's keys skirts for the keys used in the base background. I just don't like it when they add skirts to the suits of characters like Trini, and Katy, and what not. I'm sure you understand. Haven't watched Kyoyuger, but it seems just as stupid.

Toffee. Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 So it's been like ages since I've posted here, but I have reasons; I've been rewatching episodes of Zeo, just for nostalgic sake, so more or less, I'll try and get into the swing of some things.(That, and Zeo is my all-time favorite series)It looks like we'll see Tommy. Apparently, JDF said he'd do it for free, though it's probably to help further sell his MMA career by giving him TV time on the show everyone knows him for.Tommy is getting a 5th Power Ranger series?

Greiga Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Not exactly, they're looking for veterans to act in Super Megaforce so that they can actually pretend to explain how the Megaforce rangers will get past Ranger powers. Go-Busters was unnaturally bad so we won't talk about that, but I agree with the fact that sites like Jefusion love to hype things months before they actually air. However, for the gadgets and all that, you have to remember that it's a show for like 9-13 year olds and they need to sell toys and shit. Ignoring the first few episodes of any series, I feel like Kyoryuger actually has an older audience in mind (Go-Busters tried too near the end) and the musical themes are actually good. 12 episodes is still a bit early to judge what a series is worth but so far it's great. Also, if you watch past episode 2, you'll see that the enemies do in fact attack during the dance, and in Brave 11 it actually delayed Pink's morphing sequence. By the way, Wizard is a comedy when it's not dealing with heavy emotional shit. And even if you do complain about how most of his rings are for comedy, the only actual useless rings are Shrink and Sleep as far as I remember. Beast is on the border between minor and main character lets not talk about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greiga Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Well at least she can actually defend herself as opposed to just looking pretty. In Brave 11 they actually confirmed their strong points Nossan = Strength Ian = Marksmanship Souji = Swordsmanship Pink = Footwork (martial arts/kicks/etc) Red = Obligatory character who is related to the past incarnation of the team. (Red happens to look exactly like Utchy's old lord, and his dad's necklace apparently has some huge power related to the plot) Utsemimaru = Obligatory 6th ranger who is better at each strong point than all 5 combined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kōsuke Ueki Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 When I saw scenes from Megaforce (Since I didn't have access to watching Nickelodeon and I still don't) episode 1, I was annoyed by how much it was trying to mimic MMPR with its own style. Plus, Zordon is Gosei's mentor? There was NO evidence that Zordon had a pupil whatsoever. The acting was bad, how they portrayed the villains was bad, the story was bad and the fact that they're using too much of the sentai without even considering something story-based from Goseiger is a very bad thing. Like I said a WHILE back, I can make a hell of a lot better story using the Sentai footage and story correctly as an adaptation that would be more tolerable to see. In other words, my fan fic (Which I'm still stuck on Episode 2). I'd appreciate it if you guys helped me out again. Anyone interested? Also, good to have you back Greiga. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I was annoyed by how much it was trying to mimic MMPRIt's only because of Gosei being another disembodied talking head.That, and the Zords have some similarities.Like Red being a Dragon - Thunder MegazordBlack being a Snke - Ninja had FrogYellow is a tiger - First MegazordetcYou get the idea.

Kōsuke Ueki Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I'm just saying, the voice actor for Lord Zedd would be a better mentor for this season (I actually took advantage of that by doing it on my fic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
❤ Lovely Warrior ❤ Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I kinda hope that the rumor of Kyo Lavander being female is true. The gender imbalance in Kyoryuger is HUGE! 6 guys > 1 girl Also I think the guy who plays Kyo Blue is hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

❤ Lovely Warrior ❤ Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Yea usually, but having one girl in a team of like ten is just ridiculous even for Sentai/ Power Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kōsuke Ueki Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Let's see, Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, Jungle Fury, RPM... Had you made this point before Hurricanger was adapted, you may have had a good point (You still do, mind you). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greiga Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 So we know about Bunpachy, Pleson, and Tobaspino; but in the ending song it mentions Buragigas. Who wants to place bets Brachiosaurus will make the gigazord? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

❤ Lovely Warrior ❤ Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Megaforce is 10 guys to 1 girl? Nope, Kyoryuger and it was my miscalculation, but it's 1 to 9. Since Pink is the only girl of the main five and it's quite possible that the other five extra rangers are all male. Making it possibly 9 guys to 1 girl, unless the rumor of Pleson being a lady ranger is true. Let's see, Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, Jungle Fury, RPM... Had you made this point before Hurricanger was adapted, you may have had a good point (You still do, mind you). Ninja Storm/ Hurricanger: 1 girl to 4 guys Dino Thunder/ Abaranger: 1 girl to 4 guys Gekiranger: 2 girls to 5 guys (Counting Mele and Rio) Jungle Fury: 2 girls to 8 guys (since JF added in the three special rangers and counting Camille and Jerrod) RPM/ Go-onger: 2 girls to 5 guys Kyoryuger: 1 girl to 9 guys (possibly) Having 1 girl to 4 guys is typical in seasons that start with three rangers, having 2 girls to 5/8 guys isn't all that bad either, but having 1 girl to 9 guys is just a little ridiculous. Though it could be like Sun Vulcan and not have any girls or like early PR and make one of the guys a girl. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greiga Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Ninja Storm's green ranger was not invited Red Jungle fury is already confirmed we don't really need the whole team No one in SPD was invited Zeo Gold wasn't invited RPM's Black Ranger wasn't invited I'm going to watch gokaiger since if they're using a bunch of gokai footage it'll basically be the same.
