Ok, I just finished Revice. It's ......OK. Probably people saying "it's the best series ever" is a bit too much. It's better than Saber (and I'm gonna defend the CGI backgrounds of that series, I didn't care, but the plot in the second half was meh) It's just a 6/10 series to me. So, would you say that this a show that other people can either skip or just check it out if they are newcomers? Also, on a scale of 1 to 10, what do you think the chances are that Shout! Factory might want to release this series into the U.S. in the near-future?

I dunno why the childish hate for Carranger or Turbo. Some people should stop following blindly to Linkara. Carranger was great. Second half of Turbo (after Passing the Torch) had more characterization, drama and plot than preceding seasons. That's just your opinion about Carranger, dude. Me?! I've rewatched and that's it. I don't ever want to think about anything else about that show or revisit it ever again. Save for the music, the pilot episode, that one episode with Pink Racer thinking that she's gained weight, Signalman and Gynamo's characters, Red Racer's romantic subplot with Zonette, the team-up movies with the Ohrangers and the Megarangers and the finale. Everything else about Carranger.....no, thank you!!! I've seen enough of that show. Power Rangers Turbo....yeah, this was just a disaster when they told the cast members of Zeo that they are getting new suits without any explanation and the fact that they introduced a 12 year-old kid as the new Blue Ranger in the show. Thanks a lot for that idea, Shuki Levy! And yet, many fans still wonder if there is going to be an actual Power Rangers adaptation of Kyuuranger for next year or in the near-future?! At least the 13 year-old kid being the Sky-blue ranger in that show was intentional since he is now part of the rebellion and is trying to help everyone else liberate Earth and the entire galaxy from the Jark Matter's reign. Anyways, let's get back to the real subject of this thread. So, now that almost everybody has seen this video and given how Super Megaforce's finale was such a huge disappointment for many people and never really lived up to their expectations. (Believe me, it never could even back in 2014). It's more than likely that we are never going to get another version of the Legendary Battle for the TV show anymore. If it only happened in the comic books or in the video games, possibly, that could work. But in the TV show?! NOOOOOOOOO!!! Not even if you have more money than Donald Trump.

I agree with everyone. Those days are long gone. By "golden years" the writer of this article obviously means "relive the zeitgeist of Mighty Morphin " like this franchise hasn't been trying (and failing) to do that with the current show for over a decade? It comes off as them saying that they've tried everything from the Mighty Morphin era and they've been mostly bad to failure. From; Rehashing the original theme song. Saying "its Morphin Time" every season since Megaforce. Technically, it was Power Rangers Samurai that re-used, "It's Morphin' Time" throughout its' initial run of the Neo-Saban era. Trying to re-create Bulk and Skull with unfunny comedy duos. It depends on which comedic duos aren't even that funny, writing-wise. Then again, there were also some unfunny characters from the Disney-era like Marah and Kapri from Ninja Storm, Leelee Pimvare from Mystic Force *cringe!!* Norg the Yeti from Operation Overdrive, Dax Lo. Yeah, remember him?! Mr. "Derp-face" or "This is like a movie. Shut up, Dax!!" Or in this case, "Asian Tommy Lee Jones' Two-Face from Batman Forever." No really, Dax Lo mugs to the camera a lot more than Tommy Lee Jones' Two-Face did. And in the Zordon-era, you have Divatox and Elgar from Turbo. Remember them?! Making monsters and generals who look threatening from looks alone (and in some cases were written as way better characters in their sentai) be slow witted, bumbling idiots alas Rita and her band of freaks. Again, it depends on which Super Sentai series you are watching. Shinkenger's villains are okay. The Deboss Army in Kyoryuger are alright. Although, Sledge and his crew were more entertaining to watch in my opinion. The villains in Goseiger, except for Burajira were just there. Gokaiger has Basco, so there's that. In Go-Busters, you cared more about Enter and Escape being the main villains than you do with Messiah. Seriously, why do you care so much for Messiah being the main villain in Go-Busters, again?! What's so special about him?! Enter just literally took over in the final episodes. We didn't adapt Toqger, so there's a relief. But we did take the Baron Neros suit and hat, but replaced the head piece with something else and called him, "Cosmo Royale." Then we renamed the Madame Noir suit into Void Queen. The villains in Ninninger all suck, except for Rabi Gaizou who had an interesting arc in the first batch of episodes he was in. But after he was killed off, "Baka-haru" Igasaki/Akaninger kept getting stronger for no reason without any real character growth or development. Izayoi Kyuuemon is alright, but they could have done better with him. The rest of the villains from that show.... . Then you have the "villains" from Ryuusoulger. What exactly do you remember about the villains from Ryuusoulger?! Not a whole lot since they are all easily forgettable. I wish I could say the same for the heroes in Ryuusoulger, but I don't care for any of the heroes in that show and I'd rather forget that those characters even existed since they brought nothing to the table compared to the teams of Sentai heroes that came before them in the more recent years and the Kirameigers. Bringing back characters from Mighty Morphin who plays no long-term vital roles outside of Nostalgic reasons I.E. Lord Zedd coming back in Dino Fury. And why should Tommy Oliver in Super Megaforce's "Legendary Battle", Super Ninja Steel's "Dimensions in Danger" Jason Lee Scott and "Goldar Maximus" in Beast Morphers' "Grid Connection" be any different?! I mean, they're from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers as well. So, shouldn't that rule also apply to them as well?! Same goes for Katherine Hillard and Rocky DeSantos' characters in "Dimensions in Danger" and Bulk in Samurai. I'm just saying. Ham-fisted attempts at lessons of the day that wouldn't look out of place in a late 80s-90s PSA. Which didn't really happened at the end of each episodes in Dino Charge and Beast Morphers. Ninja Steel, not-so-much since Mick Kanic was pointing out the blatant hypocrisy coming from the Rangers in that show. Now their latest attempt to trying to relive the "glory days" of Mighty Morphin is to drag Dino Fury for three seasons? It won't work. These people need to let go of the past. The original era obviously was huge. PR will never be at that level again. Mighty Morphin was an amazing show for its' time, but it was lightning in a bottle. The Disney-era worked because it used elements that made MMPR great, but updated it respectfully. Now its' MMPR 2010 repackaged from every season ever since Haim Saban bought the rights back and this MAY be no different. Well, Dino Thunder was the only installment that felt like a reboot of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. But, it had Tommy as the mentor-character and that's understandable. Ever other installment of that era were just trying to expand with the mythology like in the case of RPM. Or, they just want to do their own thing like Jungle Fury did as well as adding in some callbacks and Easter egg nods to past seasons like SPD did.

No it won't. It ain't never gonna bring the franchise back to it's "golden years." Because the real golden years of Power Rangers ended with Power Rangers RPM. This new season in 2023 could be like the U.S. equivalent to Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger BRAVE/Power Rangers Dino Force Brave as far as I'm concerned.

Now this isn't done by fellow youtuber, rangersentaiguy2. But does feel like it's his artwork. With that being said, I think it's clear that we really need to stop trying to recreate In Space's finale or Pirate Sentai Gokaiger in adaptation for that matter. Because this would be pur end result in terms of execution in a TV show. Some moments are best left in the past and not everything from Super Sentai can be adapted into the US so easily.*cough!* (Gekisou Sentai Carranger) *cough!*

Final thoughts after rewatching Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue. I'd give it a 7/10 in terms of adaptation. The heroes are okay, but the villains suck.

Yeah, this is more likely to raise more questions than answers.

There was an interview with Jordon and Kai that implies there will be new suits. We've seen evidence that there's apparently an entirely new morph sequence, which wouldn't make sense for the exact same suits. And it also makes no sense to change the name of the team for the exact same suits and exact same gear. The most logical assumption is that we'll get some kind of difference. So, it's just the main cast members of Dino Fury being given six of the Kyuuranger suits. Well, my question is who's gonna wear which colors in the next season? We all know Zayto is gonna stay as the Red Ranger, but what about the other five?

So...they aren't going to use any of the Kyuuranger suits at all?! Just the six core Ryuusoulger suits with original footages of outer space?! Seriously?!

I think they should have placed, "The Last Ranger where "In The Limelight was when these episodes first premiered on TV. Because despite it being a requisite clip-show highlighting Carter, Chad, Joel and Kelsey's best moments in the show, it actually shows how much she has gotten stronger as the show went on. "In The Limelight" by contrast, should have been placed WAAAAAAYYYY earlier in the show as it could have been part of an earlier development in her character. Thankfully, they corrected that mistake in Power Rangers Time Force.

Why does any show come up with new things to give their characters? To sell toys. Why does Optimus Prime need a supermode in every new Transformers series? To sell toys. Why create Spirit Rangers to go with three existing Zords? To. Sell. Toys. You're watching a toy commercial with character development. You're going to see new TOYS being promoted so that the next series has a bigger budget. V-Lancers introduced? TOY ON THE SHELF IN A MONTH!! Titanium Ranger introduced? NEW TOY ON THE SHELF! Max Shuttlezord? You got it! New Toy! Omegamax Megazord? New Toy! LifeForce Megazord? Repaint of existing TOY THAT GIVES BANDAI A LICENSE TO PRINT MONEY. Literally everything on the screen in Power Rangers, Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Pokemon, Digimon, Sailor Moon, Transformers, GI Joe, Spider-Man, whatever, is just a 25 minute to 140 minute toy commercial.They gave Carter, a certified badass who has no problem standing toe-to-toe with Martial Arts experts (in universe) like Tommy or Eric or whoever else, a new look strictly to sell toys. Ain't nothin' deeper then that.

There are claims that JDF got served them papers at a convention. Is that true? More like "Why should you care?!" Do you even know Jason David Frank, personally? Does he live next door to you? Does he help pay your mortgage? Does he help you do your taxes? I don't think so.

Does this man even need a God-damn battlizer just to be a bad-ass? I mean, he was already a bad-ass when the show began and ended. So why does he need this tacky-looking armor?
