Okay.... Straight up... I HATE THE NAME! But If it holds up anything close to Jungle Fury... it will be a good series. Also, Dino Knights sounds so much better. Bassup even said Jurassic Fury. Dino Fury was a little bland.

"Dino Fury?!" Seriously?! That is the stupidest name I have ever heard. What not "Dino Force?!" Or "Dino Squad?!" Anything that could match with the whole knight gimmick?! The dinosaur part, yes! But, c'mon Hasbro! You are adapting another dinosaur-themed Sentai series that has knights as part of the lore. Give us a title that would perfectly match with both themes.

I saw a fan account on Instagram post the synopsis and assumed it was fake because of the grammatical error but unfortunately it’s real. I know they want to be vague and not reveal everything too soon but that synopsis does not sound inspiring. If you remove the dinosaur reference it could be for a dozen different adaptions.
The name is bland and perhaps I’m being petty, but the recycling of “Fury” irks me. I’ll admit Jungle Fury is one of my favourites and this could be why plus I think the title is one of the best we’ve had. I’m fine with the logo but I’m not completely sold because as you’ve probably guessed I don’t like the name!
I’m also starting to feel like the lack of imagination wasn’t just a Neo-Saban problem (Dino Charge being the exception) but a Power Rangers problem in general. It seems there’s been a serious lack in imagination and willingness to try new things.
Okay, my rant is over 😂

Who's to say they are going to take the knight angle Ryu had. For all we know it could be a totally different story for us take. And really with only using morph footage and counting on how much original stuff they do. Any sentai knight stuff could not be used at all. Sure knights would be a fun angle to play with.
But hell we don't even know the season theme story beyond they are powered by dinos. So how about we wait and judge the season once we know what the story will be about and see actual us footage. As for names and what not from seasons to attacks been a little lacking. I can forgive that if the acting and story turns out good.

Every year I read the descriptions with bated breath and wait to judge the season once we know the story and see the US footage and let’s be real it’s usually lackluster. I guess I’ll see you all again in 2023!

Well come on almost always first description of shows are very generic to we get closer to airing. And we get a better detail description and then of course original footage that isn't just sentai footage.

Dino Knights, generic AF, sounds more in tune with the series. I was expecting creativity, and it's the first time we have a Knights motif. If this is gonna be like Megaforce or Super Megaforce, downplaying the Angels motif or (Space) Pirates motif, and giving us some generic "teens with attitude" series again, with MMPR references and crap, I can save some time and not watching the series. AT least, Beast Morphers downplayed the "spy" motif, but they use the elements like Enertron, and government organization, and using more tech like "evil Virus", robots like Steel, evil clones and stuff, that were pretty good. I dunno, people. I want to be positive, but Ryusoulger was pretty boring to me. If you gonna take a boring Sentai series, and make a boring Power Rangers series, what's the point? It's gonna be again a Goseiger/Megaforce situation.

As cool as knights are and be fun to dee. Really how much of likely usable sentai footage if knight stuff do you think would be used. Cause if we don't use that stuff at all. And counting how much original footage like beast morphers did. The whole knight angle could be exercise out and be what ever us story is. Cause really sword weapons doesn't mean it has to be knights for us. Maybe it could end up being something along lost galaxy type deal for powers.

˄ The Druidons' footsoldiers, Drunn, have straights knight-like motif, and are like Chess pawns. Or spanish conquistador. But they are very knightly, and medieval. Also, most of the generals have chess-like motif. If they are aliens, at least they are playing a cosmic chess game. And the Rangers have knight's visors, the RyuSouls animations looks like knights, with helmets, swords and shields. Heck, the Tyramigo's transformation have a Ryusoul, which is a little knight, that transform in Kishiryu-Oh head. All the Ryusouls are very knightly. You can't skip the knight motif forever. Look Super Megaforce. I can understand more Megaforce with Goseiger, you concentrate more in the mythical and not mythical animals (Dragon, Phoenix, Tiger, Snake, Shark, Lion) and in the aspect of elements (air, earth, water), but Super Megaforce......it's embarrasing calling a Galleon or pirate ship, a "Skyship". And they have a straight-like pirate flag. It's silly. Sometimes it's better not to fight the Sentai footage, and embrace the sillyness. Besides, what's wrong with knights? King Arthur are always present. There was a movie a couple of years ago, by Guy Ritchie. It bombed, but....There is people saying they gonna reboot the tale with a female cast. I'm just pissed off about Hasbro changing a Rhino Beetle and Stag Beetle into a "Mantis" (WTF!) and a Scarab (more sense, equally stupid).

OK that could easily Just be explain away as they are evil alien empire that is like medieval earth culture. Come on look at power Rangers and sentai on a whole. Villains for series have at times been wildly different them the ranger powers. Hell look at mm for prime example. Rangers had power of dinosaur fighting a evil space witch. Not much commonality there.
Also again we don't even know if or how much they might pull from sentai. So maybe there could be a knight aspect. Like the powers are knights in the form of dinosaur and what not. Or we could see this be like rpm and straight up take a goofy silly footage and flip it 180. Heck I wouldn't complain about the show just yet.
As it hasn't been cast yet. Hasn't even begun filming yet. So to we get more then a generic bio that doesn't explain anything really. And see actual footage that has us story and elements. How about we wait and see. Before bitching that hasbro doing bad. And even if they are not knights at all. Maybe what ever story is can work.

Always, we are allowed to react to the information we have. You always say “let’s just sit around and wait and not talk about anything right now.” There is nothing wrong with saying so far what they’ve shown us is poor.

Oh I know man just hard to judge series from very little we know so far. Hopefully it will be a good show and cast and what not.

I'm also a guy with the approach of "let's wait and see", but mostly when I'm pretty sure with what we are dealing. WIthout Lynn, the future is a blank canvas. I dunno a lot about the new EP, Simon Bennet, and how he is gonna approach the material/footage. I read he made mostly New Zealand tv series, like Maddigan's Quest, with pre RPM Rose McIver and Olivia Tennant (Milo Cawtorne appeared in an episode, I think. I watched that tv series like 6 years ago) and Outrageous Fortune, with Antonia Prebble (which I watched only 2 episodes). But one thing is TV drama (Maddigan was more sci-fi for children, not half bad. Actually very good in parts) and other is Power Rangers. People tends to believe this is an easy job, just write something around the footage, but nope, you have to be very creative to be an EP for Power Rangers. I hope he's not like Tzachor, with a "copy and paste" attitude or Bruce Kalish "this is a children's show, so it doesn't matter what we put" attitude. Again, I know is a children show, but come on, kids are not stupid. You have to compete with Internet, Netflix, Marvel and YouTubers. A little quality would be good. So, reading the description of "Rangers fighting aliens with the power of Dinos", that sound very.......Dino Charge. And Dino Force Brave, if you want to be more accurate. And the whole "Rita was an Alien, but also al Space witch", illustrate my point about "YOU CAN'T ESCAPE SENTAI FOOTAGE FOREVER". Rita's origin was alien, but she was more an evil witch like its counterpart Bandora than anything. She didn't use advanced alien technology, like Zordon.

Ya cross I hope this new guy will do well with franchise and gets what works for property and what doesn't work for it. So hopefully fury season 1 and 2 works out well. And so forth for what ever sentai is picked for season 30 and 31. But Ya there is some worry with new show runner coming in. And what will fury turn out. But as it in writing stage hasn't cast yet and filming still months away. There really isn't much to go by. And if we follow any show progress a lot can change from first released info to when show is aired. So Ya I want to be optimistic it will be good. And I hope Simon will be someone good like doug, or Jackie or chip and not be a jt all over again. So I hope for the best and when we got stuff to judge then see if fan excitement or worry is place.

It seems there’s been a serious lack in imagination and willingness to try new things. It depends on which season you are watching, in my opinion.
