Yeah they're crossing over with Beast Morphers and depending on how much gets adapted Goldar might be the villian.

Does anyone think Hasbro should step in the help co-produce a Sentai season in Japan and provide creative input?

NO.

Hasbro is a creatively dead company and should leave the Sentai team alone.

Also...you do realize Sentai is a show made primarily for Japanese audiences, right? Hasbro, an American company, meddling with it isn’t exactly a good look, plus I doubt the Japanese creators will accept their offer anyway.

Maybe not the creative input part, but maybe at least co-funding?

Saban or Bandai of America put input into a sentai season before so it's not impossible.

I am convinced, Hasbro DOES hate Super Sentai.

I'd love to see a Mmor reboot get off the ground. Depending on how much money Hasbro is willing to spend this could be good for Power Rangers.

I keep failing to find this topic!
I'm 21 episodes into Jetman so far and really loving it and the cast!

Added in 13 days 10 hours 47 minutes 17 seconds:
Finished Jetman! Might be my favorite so far!
About 14 episodes into Megaranger and it's growing on me. The episodes seem to do a nice job of balancing the 'guest' character for an episode with the Megaranger that gets the focus.

I dunno where else to put this, but has anyone else heard about actress Sarah Brown's horror stories concerning her past relationship with former Power Rangers producer Shuki Levy?

Basically, back in the 1990s, when Sarah was the female lead on VR Troopers (and played a supporting role in Power Rangers Zeo), she entered into a romantic relationship with Shuki. They were never married (nor even engaged, AFAIK), but they did have a daughter together. And Shuki (who at the time was married to another woman, and also seeing a third) was a total bastard.

Shuki even seemingly attempted to have Sarah murdered via a rigged air conditioner in an apartment he owned. While Sarah and a friend of hers made it out of the burning apartment alive, no items aside from a music box survived, so there was unfortunately no material proof of wrongdoing left from that incident.

Here's a podcast in which Sarah goes over her relationship with Shuki:



And here's a thread on Rangerboard discussing Sarah's accusations: https://www.rangerboard.com/index.php?threads/184347/

The new rangers look like they’re trying to be Metal heroes.

Originally, for Season 2 of MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS, Saban and Sentai guys, Toei, were in talks for a new Season Two. This one featuring redesigns for the classic Dino Zords, and Tiger Zord for the stateside show. But ended up being shelved so to go with staying on the tried , true, and more cheaper method of using footage from the next Sentai show on the docket. From a bloke who doesn't look old enough to shave who goes by the name of Este. Here's his video on the sleek, sexy, new turbo charged Dino Zords we might've received.

Would anyone care to discuss what motifs you would like to see this franchise tackle in the future? I Think it would be cool to sea a show based around Marine life and another around Cowboys.

I'm currently 17 episodes into Gosei Sentai Dairanger.


The introduction of Kiba Ranger was tremendously disappointing, especially compared to my memory of how Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers introduced the White Ranger.


To anyone who has watched this whole series: does this show get any better?

Is considered by many to be the best series in the franchise.

Yeah, hang in there through the initial Kiba Ranger crap because Dairanger is great.

Just finished Dairanger. And yeah Kiba not a strong plus in my book, but it does get better. Without spoilers the ending gets strange - still I really like Dairanger. (I'm watching Jetman now.)

Huh is Dairanger one of the best? I certainly enjoyed it and liked that the rangers were the main characters unlike Zyu. Oh yeah the trio of loser monsters was great. Jetman is indeed great.
Almost done with GoGoV. Rather liking it with the rescue and family dynamic. Gingaman was good fun. I wanna see some of the 80s entrees get translated.
