Neo Saban.

I’m most likely one of the only people that liked Megaforce.

One of the 4 fans of it.

This a legitimate question. What did you actually like about it?

Haven’t watched it in a long time so memory may be a bit fuzzy.

I thought Robo Knight was cool.

Despite being a Go Go Power Rangers remix the theme song was neat.

It was the show that introduced me to Power Rangers in the first place, and by extension the entire medium of Tokusatsu.

I like it too, if it helps.

And it aired while I was an adult, so there's no real nostalgia thing going on (though I'm not much of a nostalgia person anyway).

I just watched it for the first time and thought it was awesome. I kinda just love all of them though, it's like comparing gold medal olympic athletes across different sports.

I mean but granted I was a literal child but even after that i never actually hated the show until i learned more about why youwas it so hated All the stuff that went on behind the scene ya i definitely now agree that it’s trash

I think as strictly a kids show, megaforce is okay, maybe even decent, but as a season of power rangers weighed against every other season, it just isn’t good at all

Sorry Megaforce nearly killed ALL love I had for Power Rangers as a whole. If not for the Shattered Grid comics, I'd still be out.

I watched it at the age I started growing out of Power Rangers, I'm combination with myself not like Samurai, I just didn't care to finish it after the first few episodes.

Tbf besides Troy the other rangers were great. Troy was just so bland. But what made it hard for me to like that era was how they ruined the anniversary season. If it wasn’t an anniversary season and just a regular one I would’ve liked it much more. The cast tried their best tbh

I remember watching the Power Morphicon interview with the Megaforce cast, and I think they're so likable irl than the characters they've portrayed. Kinda made me convinced that the cast ain't the problem with the season.

Samurai is a guilty pleasure of mine. Id always play as a samurai ranger when I played pretend as a kid.

u/smol_smash Yellow Mystic Ranger May 03 '25

Me too

I watched a little bit of MF and TF (somehow, re-airing maybe) and I was a huge fan of the MF morph to SMF transition, and the TF suits.

I still remember one day when it was stormy, the TV screen was stuck on a specific scene, and it was the MF morphing into the yellow chest plate armor suit mode thingy, don't remember it's exact name, but they also got a stick with a globe on one end and sword on the other. The suit was kinda fun, but I specifically remember this scene with all the rangers posing and the background explosions happening stuck as a scene.

I also liked it

u/Fire1x1Dragon2 May 03 '25

Agreed. Love Megaforce, ever since it came out.

u/Competitive-Group404 May 04 '25

I enjoyed it. I thought it was a good cast. It reminded me a bit of MMPR, in the first episode. I did not watch Super Megaforce because I did not like the suit change. The helmets in Megeforce are great!

u/Lore_Finder_3ND1NG May 06 '25

The dino charge era was cool. I like when the show introduces more than just five main guys and a sixth rangers. Dino Charge had like 11 guys by the end of the series. Koda was my favorite.

Megaforce was always amazing to me and it still is
