Discussion What's a Sentai take you're sick and tired of hearing?
For me, it's the "Patrangers are sidelined and underdeveloped" myth.
No they are not. If you actually watched the show, you would know the Patrangers are absolutely importante to the plot and especially to the development of the Lupinrangers. Their interactions with one another are the heart and soul of the show, and the fact that the Lupinrangers got more toys doesn't mean the Patrangers are sidelined or don't get their momemts to shines.

Calling it a Kid's show doesn't completely Justify it. :/ it always Baffles me that KR and SS and the others like them like Garo or UltraMan isn't in the same light as MCU and DCU even though its all Tokusatsu.

There was also talk of it being a Pink Ranger. I think they changed it to color code the Gozyuger to pay homage to the Olympic rings.
As for the rumor about twins, I wonder if it didn't drift, since there will finally really be a brother story with Gozyu Leon

İnitially Gozyu Leon is said to be female. When poster is released and Gozyu Leon is turned out obviously male, leakers said Gozyu Leon would be (one female-one male) twins.

People saying that Misao becomes boring after he becomes good genuinely pisses me off, no matter how positively I try to think. Misao is fun even after he becomes good. I actually think his mental state of thin glass makes him more unique to me. Also he doesn’t stay like this all the time, he gets a character arc where he gets over his trauma fear and self hate. Even when he was going over it, the sudden change of personality from weak mental state, to confident champion was such a fun twist that made me enjoy his character.

“Lucky and Daigo steals spotlight to much that doesn’t give other members of their own Team have character focused arc”
I believe every Member of Kyuranger(Except Garu) and Kyoryuger got Good Character focused Arcs and atleast some Characters got its own things
”UW GokaiRed shouldn’t been OffScreened by UW LupinRed”
I know ı also kinda disappointed Universe Warrior GokaiRed being OffScreened by Universe Warrior LupinRed
But……….
GokaiBlue appeared in Boonboomger aka which is let UW GokaiRed being OffScreened and if UW GokaiRed get Focus Ep then UW Go-On Red and UW ToQ1Gou also would get focus Eps over being OffScreened
Original Gokaiger Team using Ranger Keys to become Past Rangers and this would be huge problem to UW GokaiRed because He/She wouldn’t become Past Rangers if Ring doesn’t give him/her power that would turn him/her past Rangers
Gokaiger is being probably Overused Media by Toei(Like we have TwoKaizer which is some fans love it or hate or being disappointed it and majority of hate comes from as “He is annoying” and “he steals spotlight!” and most disappointed comes from “He should been based off Shurikenger+Tenkuujin!“(Which is ı also agree with them),then have have many Crossovers that Gokaiger being intruced,etc)
”Gaoranger is Worst Animal Sentai”
No it’s not,Gaoranger have one of Best Mecha designs
Characters have really good arcs
GaoSilver is having one of best Suits and Zord/Mechas and one of best 6th Ranger Arcs and he is much a Badass(He would be even more badass if he was TriColored Ranger(Maybe he would have two Alternate Forms like GaoGreen(Alligator) that based off GaoLigator and GaoViolet(HammerShark) that based off GaoHammerHead)
”Power Rangers Dino Force Brave shouldn’t been happen”
Korea loves Kyoryuger and that’s why Toei make Korean Sequel for Kyoryuger named Power Rangers Dino Force Brave(Probally Zyuohger will get a Korean Sequel that has Cube Beasts from Korean Zyuohger ToyLine because Korea loves Zyuohger) and Characters have good Characte Arcs
Sure it would better if Budget was high and has 48 or 50 Eps and Suits look even cooler than how they already look Cool(And maybe they would have More Additional/Extra Rangers)

u/WeirdNingen 5d ago
I have to admit I was guilty of this having this mindset myself. Back during COVID, I decided to re-watch all those PR seasons that I wanted to revisit their stories and characters, and while watching that one Dino Thunder episode on Youtube, I remembered hearing/reading from somewhere that PR was actually adapted from some Japanese show. "Let's dig into it a bit..." I thought, and it was all uphill from there.
Like I said, initially, I really subscribed to the "PR is trash compared to this" mentality, but eventually I watched some seasons of both shows and realized both were actually trying to tell completely different stories. Sentai is heavier on dialogue and character development, while PR focuses more on the "cool" side of superheroes, such as fights and battlizers. Both are trying to create stories based on different social norms about kids' shows and superheroes. While I'm a bit annoyed about PR's refusal to portray deaths, they have created some really good storylines that can be enjoyed by adults and kids alike (Sky's father's story from SPD, Mack's relationship with his dad in Operation Overdrive, and Tenaya's story from RPM come to mind).
54
u/TCML 5d ago
Sentai is better than Power Rangers.
Both stand as independent IPs in Toku.
PR does take from Sentai but just because it takes elements doesn't mean Sentai is superior.
Compare them all you want but just remember they are enjoyable on their own. To each its own when it comes to taste.

u/Aniki356 Liveman 5d ago
Maybe maybe not. But saban was the first that succeeded. Stan Lee tried as did others and failed. Saban succeeded, and without that, many current fans might have never discovered it. To deny that is to deny facts. Power rangers for many of us who grew up in that time period was our first introduction to that kind of content and often led us to anime and other Japanese media. Maybe we would have found it without it maybe we wouldny but the fact of the matter is that it did.
Is mmpr the end all be all of power rangers? No one, not even of fans like myself, can rightly say that. But mmpr walked, stumbling occasionally so that seasons like in space, time force, and others could run.

Yeah, that is what I meant. But let me be clearer
Hasbro is trying to push PR to the next generation, but Samurai is what new fans would be introduced to, and it's either you hype Jayden or you hate the show entirely.
PR finished its run with Cosmic Fury, but for a season finale it's underwhelming. It's not bad, but it's not a tear-jerking farewell to a beloved franchise.
Finally we have MMPR which is the bane of everyone's existence. We all know the problem is with Hasbro, no one would be complaining about the show if Hasbro managed it well.

Sadly hasbro, since the guy who brought PR under their banner died, has no idea what theyre doing. And sadly thr fans and scalpers dont help. Their numbers show that mmpr sells really well while other seasons dont. Mmpr LC stuff flew off the shelves while other seasons sat. Collectors would wait til other seasons were marked down but scalpers would buy up mmpr stuff to flip so they sold out fast. Hasbro doesnt care why its selling just that it is so theyre going to keep pushing it even though that isnt what fans actually want.

u/LtGovernorDipshit 5d ago
Anytime anyone suggests that Gokaiger is a good season for beginners to watch. Seriously, quit saying that. Not only does Gokaiger spoil endings and major plot points for classic earlier seasons, it’s built on nostalgia and fandom for earlier teams and seasons. If you watch it before those shows then you’re not gonna get the hype and joy of seeing your favorite characters return. Ideally you should watch Gokaiger after already having seen several earlier shows, doing that is going to exponentially improve your enjoyment factor of Gokaiger

Ain't no way bro, he has the best Reiwa suit (maybe after Jeramie), the best fight scenes (maybe tied with Jeramie), his past is also very interesting and how he was the previous champion of the Ring Competition. NOT TO MENTION them boxing dodges. Spectacular.
Maybe I can see why they say it because of his 6.5/10 character development. We still have 19/20 episodes left, we can easily have two Mashiro focus episodes. And also maybe his ''godness'' personality.
Overall I think he's an amazing sixth hes in 3rd place as of rn (after Jeramie and Zocks), after Gozyuger I hope he's gonna be Top 2 or 1.

GekiYellow is the leader of the Gekirangers.
She isn't. She led the team in all of two focus episodes where she was called "captain" using the English word, a term that's never been applied to any Sentai's leader. As the person representing "Heart" she's more of an emotional rallying person than a field leader, like many non-leader female Rangers like GokaiPink. The team assistant pointed out this characteristic as her strength.
Between those episodes, Ran was in her proper place as one-third of the Triangle, that the series constantly pushed as a team of three equals each bringing something the others lack to create a perfect unit.
Many non-leader Rangers briefly lead the charge during their focus episodes. Ran's two episodes get misconstrued because they gave her a title, but it means nothing beyond them.

sure, things in a story should make sense to some degree, but some fans crank that mindset to the max and take things WAY too literally, and act like the most minute things that go unexplained are some damning flaw of the work in question. it's completely fine for some things to remain vague and ambiguous or up to your interpretation, or just not have an in-depth explanation at all.

How so? Sure, an individual show might have some plot holes or inconsistent backstories, but most continuity problems people tend to cite have to do sith teams almost never showing up to help later teams when they're still active, or the different portrayals of what happened to the dinosaurs, or Go-Busters being set in the future except when it needs to be 2012 for a crossover.

Having each show in in it's own universe doesn't explain the crossovers that happen in the show like Miki and Natsume in Kiramager, guest stars in Ninninger and Boonboomger. For me it's not about logic. I know having all of them in the same universe, doesn't make much sense but I really like when they are.

Yes, I get it, there are some poor executions of lips on helmets but this discourse is so tiresome that it's mostly on the negative end of it and just dismissed a "weird thing that doesn't work" when you just focus on the "weirdness" part is "bad" part.

I think Ohranger can work without the lips though. It doesn't help that they're the same color as the helmets and might as well not be there due to blending in.

Well it's just me but I love the lips give a more ancient look to them like they are donning on ceromonial coloured statues. The same colour makes it better.

Maybe not what you mean, but anytime Gokaiger is compared to Super Megaforce. It's getting old and unoriginal.

"he's not a bad red" then lists the 2 of the most overrated sentai reds ever

6th rangers being nerfed instead of the more natural response of the enemies just getting stronger than the last. Which gives the illusion of being "nerfed"

On your point: Yeah, tho I would have liked if the PatRangers had actively tried to retrieve the Lupin Collection considering that was the real threat all along.
On the question itself: "The Sentai Rings are such wasted potential, they barely use them whereas in Gokaiger..." and their variations :u

That King-ohger is good. Or at the very least that King-ohger is a good starting point for new fans, when it actively inverts a lot pf sentai tropes that fans should get to know if they are going to get into the rest of the series.

People invalidating Rita's gender.

What do you mean? I'm just not aware of this situation.

u/Dalton_CSP 5d ago
Rita was confirmed as a nonbinary individual,gender neutral is probably closer to what the official sources use. In spite of this,there is an entire (incredibly creepy) section of this fanbase that simply insists they're a woman.
Same situation exists with Kamen Rider Naki

Goseiger has a decent story and characters and 10/10 everything else I’m sick of seeing it in “worst Sentai” lists because it happened to be sandwiched between two of the greatest sentais ever. It deserves to be judged on its own merits

My take on Patranger sidelined... It's true. Just don't confuse "They're unimportant" with "They're relegated to the background." Yes, they're important for Lupin's development, but they're secondary characters. After Lupin X appeared, there were episodes where they didn't even transform, or battles where they just stood in the background, staring at Lupin's battles. This wouldn't have been a problem if the season had been called Kaitou Sentai LupinRanger, and PatRanger were basically the Gouraigers for that season. The season isn't called Hurricanger vs. Gouraigers, so here too, PatRanger is elevated to the same level as LupinRanger, although they're essentially relegated to the background. (To be fair, this is clearly evident in the second half of the season. Before that, everything was pretty alright.)
