Neo why would you want to skip it. For me I think it be a fun concept to play with. Having two teams of rangers and going for cop rangers and thief arch type rangers.

Probably the logic of "I don't like the sentai so that means the PR version will be awful too"

One of two things could happen if it’s adapted:
1) It could be executed reasonably well with some exceptions to fit an American audience.
2) It could be butchered and completely different than the Sentai in a bad way.
It’s just that the cops and robbers motif seems more fit for the Japanese audience than the target one here... the whole ‘stealing for the right reason’ would be done differently.

How is the motif that hard to play off in western culture. We have done 2 cop theme series before. And we don't have to make the lupin guys evil or bad folks. They could play off the whole Robin hood theme. And they could just as I pointed in past posts could go about stopping the villains in a slightly harsher way then by the book cop rangers. As for would it be good or not. That is all on tone and writing. Would it be tone super kiddy down or written a little more mature like to or even spd. Then it's also how decent the acting is and how the actors work with one another.

I say Skip a definite Skip and may this sentai rot in Limbo Hell right beside ToQger No, I think this concept will actually work in adaptation. But, I think Judd "Chip" Lynn and his writing staff will have to be really, really, really, REALLY creative into telling a story about three gentlemen thieves collecting stolen artifacts from the enemies while evading the police in a Power Rangers series for non-Japanese-speaking audience members and fans. Then again, we are living in a time period where young men and women, most particularly unarmed black people in the U.S. are being murdered by mostly cops who are so damn trigger-happy that they don't use common sense for their actions everytime they pull out a gun. Yeah, this may not be the right time to adapt Lupinranger vs Patoranger into a Power Rangers series. But, I would say give it about five more years when most other media and the news are not being self-aware of addressing the police killing off unarmed civilians by accident.

I don't really see why the whole real life cops issues would have much garner to what power Rangers would be. I would just treat the Rangers and there organization like tf and spd. They are not regular cops but are a special force task against alien and monsters. And they are there to protect the city from what ever the monsters and aliens do to citizens. And like I brought up we have the cop rangers be more straight laced and follow a set of rules.
Where as the thief rangers are only after getting the collection stuff from the monsters and aliens due to some in story reason and they are not rule followers so they do what they think is best but are a bit reckless. Which the cop rangers don't like and they want to bring them in so they don't cause harm. Then we can play with that angle for a bit. To the thief see the cop rangers are right and they join together.

And like I brought up we have the cop rangers be more straight laced and follow a set of rules. Yeah, uhm about that. Time Force is not one of those Power Rangers teams that goes around killing off their enemies just because their predecessors can actually get away with killing off evil space aliens and Hellish abominations. Obviously, they have moral codes and they are sworn police officers that have to uphold the law as well as preserving the balance of space-time continuum. The only exceptions are Vypra and that one super demon in "Time For Lightspeed" since they are both Lightspeed Rescue's villains and the Mut-Orgs from "Reinforcements from the Future" since they were originally orgs before Ransik found them and released them from their prisons and copied his mutant DNA to gain their new bodies. But as for the regular mutants, no. They can't kill them off. They can only freeze them for their imprisonment. SPD is kind of different since the sentai series, Dekaranger (pre-10 Years! After) actually let the Special Police kill off criminals. So yeah, apparently they can't have Power Rangers cops killing off space criminals because someone from Disney had to come in with a mindset saying that "it will send the wrong message to kids!" I don't get it either. But, hey! Whatever. At least the Dekaranger 10 Years! After reunion movie explained the whole "Judgment Time!" Sequence while expanding the mythology of the universe that Dekaranger is a part of. Now if the Patorangers were to be adapted into a new team of Power Rangers, they should have said, "By the authority of the GSPO, we order you to come down quietly. Or we will be forced to take you down!" Or something like that.

Probably the logic of "I don't like the sentai so that means the PR version will be awful too" Drops the battered and broken bodies of Kairi, Touma, and Lupin -X at PowerKamenSentai's feet. Each one looking to have been savagely beaten. "No this is why and I suggest you call them an ambulance. *Walks Off*

...So basically you think that because you don't like the Sentai's characters that the PR version will be bad. Got it.

I have some new questions. Say that Lupinranger vs Patoranger does get adapted into Power Rangers, what exactly are the producers and writers going to do with Zamingo's character as an antagonist? Are they going to exclude him from the majority of episodes that he's not appearing in just like in the sentai? Or is he going to actually be of better use in adaptation for original footage? And how about Destra? Is he also going to abandon his investigation on the Lupin Collection's powers in adaptation as well much like how his counterpart did in the sentai or not?

I am far behind on episodes myself. So how has that villain been treated in show itself. As for what a power ranger adaption does with villains. They could easily change villains drastically. As we seen that happen. For all we know they could create a totally original villain. And then only use some as generals. Then they likely will tie the ranger powers to the collection gimmick thing. So the villains need the Rangers powers to unlock some ultimate power. And the same for the rangers. So we have a reason for them going after the collection.

Now Power Rangers is own by Hasbro, We might get a better series with better writers & budget if they go thru Allspark Pictures. I wish starting with Power Rangers Beast Morphers, We get a Zordan-like Arc (Mighty thru In Space) where the current team go thru changes where the bad guys break-up the group into 2 groups in Power Rangers version of Lupinranger vs Patranger.

Yeah, I think it's best to not have a Zordon-era-esque arc in the Hasbro-era at all. You can only connect one sentai series in adaptation, but all the other shows need to start fresh with their team of new characters being chosen as Power Rangers. The best way to connect one generation of Power Rangers to another generation is by bringing back one character from the past seasons of Power Rangers and have them act as a mentor-character for the new team of rangers. Just like in Dino Thunder when they brought back Tommy to act as a mentor-character. Or like in Ninja Steel and Super Ninja Steel when Kelson Henderson, a Power Rangers alumni actor throughout the Disney-era, came back to the franchise to play a mentor-character for the new team. You don't need to keep the same old actors from the previous season of Power Rangers and have them wear different sentai suits each year everytime we get another Power Rangers adaptation of an entirely different sentai series. Do you really want the Hasbro-era to repeat the same mistales as Megaforce and Super Megaforce did in 2013-2014 when they kept the same actors from the last season, but have them wear different sentai suits in the next season?! It just wouldn't match the body language of the stock footage and personalities of the actual characters nowadays.

Ya as much as u loved the zordon Era we likely won't have that ever again. Nie sure name drop a character a past city maybe a minor character from one show appears in another season sure. But overall arch I don't see happening. Plus the other thing to look at with multiverse and some shows set in different time frames from rest. There is wiggle room to have more solo stories at d all that.
Now for case of bm. When it set we still don't know that. Will it be just a few years from 2019. Will it be close to spd 2025, will it be some time between 2025 and 3000. Then of course will bm be set in prime universe or another. Then after bm the following series what time and universe that will be?

"gentlemen thief" concept, will it more acceptable for kids in the US? Another thing did Lupin III aired in the US before?
