Watch me turn it into one
Maybe because Power Rangers arent respected.
100th like
Its my reaction to most megaforce episodes
"Oh, you kids today the same age as me."
It's even more hilarious when you consider that Kendall's actress was younger than all the Rangers' actors.
I'm assuming they hire actors they find fit.
I don't mind it as much. I'd rather have a great actor for a character that's either younger or older then the character then an absolute mediocre actor that's the same age
i would like to add it is most likely also due to labor laws in relation to children since teenagers have these pesky things called schools and home work that would take away from their acting, and also well added to that there are laws dealing with how long they can act for, and you would need some martial arts experience i would guess so that bumps up the age a bit
SonicStantz funny how the original Rangers' actual age would be around 13-14
Ironic, isn't it?!
wait? what?
I recorded the "WHAT? IT'S A BOOOOOOOMB!" delivery because it made me laugh so hard and even turned it into my text alert for a little while.
Don't take it to an airport, alright?
"Oh my god, JC! A bomb!"
@@BrickBuster2552 *the airport then explodes*
The manager of the airport: ill make ya pay for this (random person that had the bomb or wheels Yourself idk :p) if it's the last thing I dooooooo x_x
I actually love that Phillip’s suit has blue arms. I feel like it symbolizes his bond with Koda.
"Too boring"?
So, Tzachor thinks plot and character development is boring? Sure, Power Rangers is primarily an action show, but like with anything, there has to be a backdrop to it and mean a lot more than just punching, lasers, and explosions. That's why Zeo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, Time Force, SPD, Jungle Fury, and RPM are considered to be some of the better seasons of the show itself.
I'm not necessarily a big Power Rangers fan, but I do think that anything action-focused can have decent storytelling as well as great action.
+Sachi from SAO Episode 3 I totally agree. Even as a cheesy kid's show, there are some themes that made the show more mature than many people think.
And I agree that an action show can have a great story and decent character development to it, as shows like Burn Notice, Chuck, the Marvel Netflix shows, and the 2010 reboot of Hawaii Five-O are great examples of this.
+Nigel McDivine Oh, how the mighty have fallen...
Ugh he's of the generation that use the "it's for kids so we don't have to try" bullcrap and I'm so glad he's gone. Does'nt matter if your telling a story to kids, you still give them your best effort. Why? because it can inspire them to make creative stories themselves.
Nam Kha No no no, Judd Lynn created Countdown to destruction. Amit bahmuck created Forever Red. Tzachor doesn't deserve an ounce of credit for either of those episodes.
Nam Kha yes but you know who was there for countdown to destruction judd Lyn and the other senior staff who could control him also first half of turbo that was tzachor
The irony that Beast Morphers actually was a semi sequel to RPM is pretty funny. I hope Amir Baumik got credited for that 😂
Wasn’t to any major degree his pitch was used beyond the sequel part so not likely a named credit but they could still say they were liked the idea and left a special thanks or something
And Beast Morphers, a NON anniversary season, did a MUCH better job respecting the history than Megaforce.
Saban stated in an interview from a few years ago that they skipped Go-Buster because the zord toys were far to complex and BOA could not adapt the 'zord builder' gimmick to them. They then skipped ToQ-ger because, according to Saban, trains are just not popular enough here in the states. Also only the villain robots were called Megazords in the Go-Buster. The hero bots were called Buster Machines.
baltmatrix That is in fact, true. I mean, the toy sales said it all in Japan. Plus, Go-Busters did not really have enough spy gears and gadgets to sell as toys compared to Kamen Rider W, which actually did have the better spy gears and gadgets to sell as toys in its' line--up. As for Toqger, yes, that is also true. I mean, technically speaking, we do use trains for ways of transportation for business and fun. But for a cultural history, yeah....trains are not nearly as popular, in the U.S. as they are in Japan, regions of South America and in parts of Europe. It's more of a cultural thing.
This has not aged very well
Dude, I said the exact same thing a few years ago regarding why I didn't believe ToQger would be adapted, stating that a train motif wouldn't work as well overseas because it's just not as big of an industry here in the states. but then some dude just got into a long-winded argument with me about how that didn't matter and how there are still people who like trains and whatnot and how it's just oh so still possible and would not given inch for a second. I just gave up arguing with him after a bit
@@xgray2012 so NINJAs are more well known in america than trains? suuuuure
@@JoshtheOverlander trains are well known ALL OVER it's not like it was a Samurai inspired, oh wait too late
"Keeper is able to sever Albert's bond to the energem so he can give it to someone prettier."
... Wow. That hits super hard specially because of how true it is.
Sperium3000 it’s not just because of that. Albert is an old man who is past his prime. Imagine if he got caught in a fight without access to his powers. He would be screwed.
And yet when kendall actually becomes the purple ranger, it's not treated as a big deal, nor do we get any kendal focus episodes... AT ALL!
And you can't even blame the fact that her Sentai counterpart didn't have a lot of focus episodes either, because this season actually skipped most of them, or changed the focus character.
@@CaptainJarkes unbelievable.
@@bobbyshaddoe3004 *plays the price is right fail sound*
Go-Busters had a LOT more deliberate homage to Power Rangers than just the morphing phrase being "It's Morphin Time." The series used a lot of the filming techniques & tricks that Power Rangers has made iconic in your mind, Linkara.
The plot, main characters, & tech of the series was made to be deliberately appealing to the Western Sentai fanbase, with the outfits being made out of leather & the visors on the helmets being sunglasses, the henshin device was refered to as the Morphin Brace (wrist-mounted if you were wondering), the plot being very much like a fusion of elements from RPM & Go-Onger, the characters have pretty heart-wrenching backstories (attributed to the fact that the main showrunners came from Kamen Rider, which tends to be geared towards an older audience than Sentai), the main antagonist, Enter's, leader is a giant floating head a la Zordon, etc. It really did try to pay homage to Power Rangers since PR runs on TV networks in Japan dubbed into the language.
Also, Enter was adapted into Heckyl in Dino Super Charge, as they share a number of similar personality traits.
All and all, both Toei and Allspark pictures did an excellent job.
@@blackwolf249 That had nothing to do with what I said, but ok.
@@ScsigsGaming Regardless, I am so glad things came full circle when both Go-Busters and Kyoryuger were adapted.
Wait Heckyll could lowkey straight up be Enter

Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner: You wanna bet, Lewis?
Well hindsight is 20/20
Hasbro: hold our ponies.
Hasbro: Yeah? Tell that to Beast Morphers.
Yep we got tomorrow so
"I'm in charge, I'll fart when I want to!"
...I'm 25 years old why did that make me laugh? Lol
DGK maybe the”So there humph” way it was said? That’s what did it for me!
It’s because you’re 25 that it seems funnier.
It's cause even if you're a kid or an adult, stupid things make you laugh.
Tell me I'm wrong?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Because it's the tight kind of dumb.
A couple of interesting and funny things I learned about the original show kyoryuger, was that 1) the cyan and grey/graphite rangers were spirits try to find people to take their beast batteries (the energems) and the cyan/aqua ranger was a white guy, and 2) all of their transformations, mechs combining, and the red super form (originally called carnival), were all done by dancing
"Of course! The monster's potassium deficiency....*IT'S ONE WEAKNESS!!!*"
"You monster! You haven't done your laundry, yet!"
"Wait a sec! Tyler's not a Power Ranger, *HE'S SHOVEL KNIGHT!!!*"
Okay, that was pretty funny. XD
HELLLLLOOOOOO!!!
I kinda want someone to make a Shovel Knight Mod where the characters are all Power Rangers characters (even if it's just Dino Charge only) Of course, Shovel and Shield have to be Tyler and Shelby respectively and the Enchantress could be either Arcanon, Poisandra or even Sledge (though he works more as Black Knight). Also given that Battletoads are PC exclusive, MAYBE make them the Beast Morphers crew or the Mighty Morphin rangers or Beetleborgs or w.e.
I still say that Sledge and Poisandra are the best villain couple since Rita and Zedd though and I have to mention that since that plot line never got resolved, Prince Gasket and Princess Archarina are still out there in the galaxy somewhere.
They are good couple villans to honestly (in my opinion) poisandra is an annoying wife to have cuz of "wedding this wedding that" OMG BITCH WAIT A FUCKING DAY FOR CHRIST SAKES THEN YOU WILL GET FUCKING MARRIED
It’s possible the Z Wave destroyed them, but the adverse is likely possible. Rita and Zed became good, so perhaps the wave reprogrammed them into good.
@@Savagewolver They're probably out there if I remember correctly Gasket said something in the line they were "Far away out of Mondo's reach" so probably they were far away enough to no be damage by the Z-Wave, if General Venjix and associated survived it, there's a possibility! Maybe forever red events happens because of Gasket who knows
"What killed the dinosaurs?"
"THE ICE AGE!!!"

Ironically that's the name of the ice monsters in this series
It’s an Cold Town
I’m a simple man, I see Batman and robin quote that doenst rehash bat credit card, I like and comment
Wow. Johnathan Tzachor was worse than I thought. The writing team had legitimately good ideas that could have made Megaforce and Super Megaforce passable, and Tzachor constantly rejected them for meaningless action scenes and zero character development? Who taught him to run a show? Uwe Boll?
Probably. Although maybe Tzachor encountered the same kind of brain parasite that messed up Frank Miller's head which turned him from a competent producer and show runner into THIS.
InoMercy Miller used to be a good writer much like how Tzachor used to be a tolerable producer but when they lost their minds, they became doo doo.
+dnmstarsi Same can also be said for Miller's Japanese counterpart in Toshiki Inoue
kory stephens Oh God Not Inoue
+Ryuga 706 Least Miller never involved straight up rape. Inoue's hideous Faiz novel springs to mind....*shudders*
3:22 Billy returning would have been awesome but sadly I doubt Yost would have returned, I'm pretty sure the reason he didn't do the Legendary Battle was because some of the people working on Super Mega Ultra Forced were the same people who harassed him on set before
Thus why I suspect Tzachor as part of that.
The way the invitation was phrased certainly did'nt help the situation either.
I wouldn't blame him
If I were in charge of the show I would invite David Yost not just to reprise his role as Billy but also see if he was interested in writing and directing some episodes too. I think it would be an awesome idea to invite previous Rangers who were disappointed with their lack of character development like the girl who played Gia and offer them the chance to reprise their roles to flesh out their characters to give them more of a story.
I hope if they ever animate Justice League/Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers they can get him to play Billy again. He needs some love and respect for his role in the franchise.
Interesting that the Go-Buster’s original pitch was a sequel to RPM, considering Beast. Morphers did end up being a sequel to RPM.
Hasbro loves tying up loose ends in their franchises. I wouldn’t be surprised if they saw Amit’s proposal and said “F***ing genius!”
Love that as much as I love Beast Morphers
Sounds like Tzachor was a student of the One More Day school of writing.
Could be. I dunno if Samurai and Megaforce had moments were they made life changing deals while the rangers never grew up and insulted people with escapist fantasies.
So Tzachor met Quasada?
He was an honor student there
He was top student
Wow, James Bates and I practically had the same ideas regarding what could've made megaforce or any new power ranger series better. Allow stories about personal growth, tie the anniversary season to more things from the mighty morphin era, and Yost returning as the mentor would have been perfect to help explain the ranger keys. After Yost's character left Zeo, it could have been implied he was working behind the scenes developing new powers and weapons for the various ranger teams and that after Zordon's death, he pretty much took up his mantle and worked to maintain the morphing grid. For a ranger series concept I came up with, Billy is first seen as the Rangers' teacher while he sizes them up for recruitment, the command center is his ship hiding underwater and his lab has a collection of display cases with various Morphers and weapons and a picture of him with the original rangers on his table, sort of a museum paying homage to the last 20 years of the franchise. The concept also called for the Zeo Crystals to make their return, for Billy to have a half human daughter from Aquitar who becomes the sixth and appropriately blue ranger. Even an idea of Blake Foster returning as Justin (still in possession of the blue turbo powers) to team up with the new blue ranger and even Billy morphing into the original blue ranger one last time and all three defeat one of the villain's generals.
That sounds so awesome. Who knows maybe with Hasbro at the helm will get something like that. I mean they allowed Transformers Prime to be a thing.
Few years ago I was writing a Power Rangers fanfic, going through history of all seasons until Dino Charge. I turned Billy into "Legacy keeper". He left the Zeo team, while working in secret on Turbo powers. Few years later he helped Lightspeed Rescue create their Power Rangers. Billy was also the mastermind behind harnessing Dino Gems energy into Dino Thunder powers, giving Tommy clues to find them and train new Rangers. In Megaforce, Gosei was actually Billy in disguise who created Megaforce powers. Billy was never to reveal himself until the big finale with my "Legendary Battle", where energy from Morphin Grid that Megaforce powers gathered helped to restore Mighty Morphin powers, permanently and assemble all Ranger teams to fight with Mavro's Armada, which was also revealed to be created from remains of King Mondo's Machine Empire. I never finished it and I lost my writing while moving unfotunately. I hope to rewrite it someday.
I believe that Billy as a mentor to "20th Anniversary Team" was such an obvious and logical choice that anyone, except for Tzachor thought that might work.
I'm surprised that Koda and Ivan don't have a closer bond. Considering they are both from centuries ago, having been preserved till modern day
For all it's flaws (particularly the second half) this is still the best part of the Saban Brand Power Rangers series.
KidSnivy96 Neo Saban Era
KKEntertainment I consider that a To-may-toe, To-mah-toe sitiuation
I agree. Old Saban was Saban Entertainment, Neo Saban is Saban Brands.
Agreed.
I agree
Re: Tzachor- Had he worked for Toei pulling the same stunts he did w/Samurai, he'd be fired and replaced midway (see the controversial staff changes that severely plauged 2005's Kamen Rider Hibiki). And Toei doesn't take kindly too being behind schedule anymore than overspending
Wait tzachor worked on hibiki?
@@doggosho3044 Dear lord I hope not!!!
I don’t know toei is weird I mean you think they fire shirakura after the taisen movie killed a lot of legacy showa era merchandise but nope……..
"I guess it is... cool"

"I took alien rocks and used them to power devices to let you defend the Earth, they'd better be more than just "cool"."
Fun fact: the Actress for the Pink Ranger (if I recall) was the head of my university's equestrian club, and left to do this show.
“Go-Busters would’ve been a bit difficult to adapt.”
Well, let’s see how Hasbro handles them!
And they handed them pretty well
They handled is great
Wow, listening to the first 7 minutes got me so angry. If you watch panels and interviews, you can tell that everyone on Megaforce, especially the actors, were wanting something better than what we actually got.
The Morphing Grid plug would kind of make sense why Troy wasnt as emotional as the others, because he probably wouldn't be fully human. In Goseiger, the super saiyan blast made sense for Alata being at angel, so its good that they weren't fully just adapting that scene without an original concept. And these characters needed development desperately.
But wow, Johnathan really screwed them over. And just listening to the quote, "it sounded too boring," made me cringe. Having a show that is entirely action and no character, that can get very boring really quickly.
And bear in mind, HE WORKED WITH LYNN ON TIME FORCE! There was no excuse for him to come to that conclusion!
@@blackwolf249 well thus even worse, but look at this.
I forgot what the actual analogy was but one time I heard someone say, "Some people are really good at assisting others with their drawings and paintings. But whenever it comes to making drawings of their own, the scribbles and holes are so much more obvious."
@@blackwolf249 like just because Tzachor had a hand in writing Time Force and other seasons, It doesn't mean that he was taking notes from Chip and other writers.
He's like the GOT D&D of Power Rangers
As a long time fan, and I know my younger brother is also a fan, yet he doesn't understand why I don't like Megafarce, and he somewhat/somehow likes it. I guess to him, he was too young to truly hate it since he grew up with it. Yet I think deep down, he just prefers better things. And which is why I hold Time Force in high regard, and basically praise Lynn and not Tzacher.
Kids are young but not morons.
@@ejelecflametails6657 Just what I was thinking. Sure, I understand RPM has its fans, but I think the plot and story would have worked better if Saban and Disney DIDN'T choose Go-Onger as the sentai to adapt. In fact, I am following a fanfic that is a closer adaptation to Go-Onger.
"Go busters would have been hard to adapt."
Neo Saban production team under new management: "hold our beer"
It's Hasbro now.
@@MisterRandom2 Hasbro=Neo Saban team under new management.
@@dnmstarsi
Fair enough.
After the drag of Megaforce this is such a nice change of pace. I kinda like the whole "Power Rangers outside of the usual seven" idea. It's a nice way to get variety and the ideas that a Ranger's connection to their gem can be severed instead of bonded for life is an interesting concept too!
The Treasures of Zandar!
*cut to Mystic Force clip of Xander*
"G'day"
Anime Freak I'd laugh if Linkara actually did that. 😂😂😂😂
that was EXACTLY what I thought of
I would've loved it if Zandar was Xander's ancestor or just Xander.
The "crude bong" of dinosaur bones forced me to pause the video to laugh for a while.
Gold star.
Makes it even better with the still image with the commentary IMO. Now I wanna see a picture of Kendall seeing Chase and Koda with said crude bong.
I know it wasn't stated in the video, but I just wanted to point out how iconic it was for this season to have a Black actress play the Pink Ranger 😊.
Throughout the franchise's history the Pink Ranger has (for the most part) played a very important role.
After the Red Ranger I feel like Pink is the most important, and usually plays the love interest to Red.
Actresses who have donned the costume have mostly been white and on rare occasions Asian.
This was a nice change to the formula.
And the fact that her love interest was also a man of color, which is very rare for media to do nowadays is just chef's kiss*.
She's a top-tier Pink Ranger, for me, too. Jen from Time Force still probably sets the standard to this day but I can't think of many others I prefer to Shelby.
4:40 "Go-Busters would be tricky to adapt"
Hasbro: "hold my beer"
Hasbro: Hold my Morph X
Go-busters was basicly sentai's version of RPM, the main villain looking like venjix doing a zordon cosplay
so it would have been easy to turn it into an rpm sequal
sscool100 it would of worked as a Segway between rpm and spd
James Bevan my version of a go-busters adaptaion would take place a few decades after RPM, the rangers would be decendants of the rpm rangers and the villains would be a cult of Cyborgs who were the people that venjix infected that worshipped venjix and plans to re awaken him, the ranger are called the Grid Busters,
dunkanbulk14 nice
I'll put this here for anyone who doesn't know since we're already talking about Go-busters. Go-busters is getting a Power Rangers adaption in early 2019 as Power Rangers Beast Morphers.
About Go-busters:
Civilian powers.
Sunglasess as morphers.
Vaglass the main villain was a computer virus, it also looked like an evil zordon, also its main method is stealing stuff like emperor grumm.
monster created from stuff liying around
And Go-Busters would eventually get adapted as Power Rangers: Beast Morphers the official continuation and conclusion of the RPM Storyline.
Sooo, considering everything that was revealed by Bates in that interview, plus how much advertisement and hype went into Megaforce and how little it offered in return, and the fact that Tzachor likely paid more than Saban was willing to shill out for international flights for guest stars who, in turn, only did relatively little in the grand scheme of things...Yeah, I don't think it's a stretch to assume that Jonathan Tzachor was fired. And if he WASN'T fired, I can't imagine he'd have lasted much longer.
Aside from Haim wanting to capture the Season One popularity zeitgeist, he did give the loon a multiple contract deal of four yeara
The things that were a tribute to Power Rangers in Go-Busters:
1) All the mecha's for both the good and bad are called Megazords.
2) The morphing call.
3) Also, the Morphin Brace has a sunglasses theme similar to Jungle Fury, except the Go-Busters don't actually put them on like the Jungle Fury Rangers. However, the sunglasses do form the visor lenses when transforming.
4) The Go-Busters can wear their suits without their helmets. This is similar to how the first Power Rangers frequently appeared helmetless; though the Go-Busters weren't the first Sentai to do so (Go-Onger constituting a recent example).
5) The main villain Messiah is very similar to R.P.M.'s Venjix as they were both computer viruses, not to mention very impatient and angry.
6) Messiah is a floating head from a different dimension, just like Zordon.
7) The Go-Busters have Super Powers (super speed for Hiromu, super strength for Ryuji and super jumping for Yoko) they can access to fight better. This is very similar to the heroes of Dino Thunder, S.P.D., or Operation Overdrive.
8) Powered Custom is similar to the Red Sentinel Ranger, a mode in which Mack, the Red Overdrive Ranger, combined with the supporting robot (Sentinel Knight).
Those are the OFFICIAL ones but there are a lot more that I felt were in the franchise.
9) Each of the Go-Busters had their own robot friend that would MOST OF THE TIME stayed in the base and watched the team fighting like Alpha 5.
10) Both Go-Busters and RPM feature computer viruses as the main villains.
11) The monsters of the week were similar to the monsters from the second and third seasons of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, which were also made from random objects.
Go Busters would have made the perfect basis for an RPM sequel series.
The Pain...
Also dont forget - they had GAVAN on for a few episodes - maybe translate that as one of the two prototype suits for the Go busters armour [the other being the hybrid gobuster/enter armour - you could say it was stolen and "upgraded" by him].
As for the series - howabout an alt universe of RPM where, at the cost of their parents, Venjix was contained in a dimensional bubble before he could take over, with Enters job now to try to free him.
This could open the door for some of the original RPM cast to appear as cameos [albeit as non rangers] - hell if shes available even bring back Olivia Tennet as doctor K and have her as the suit inventor/tech/general tech head.
well we've been teased with beast morphers, and from the way it's being played there are 2 ways it could go:
1: a sister series to the Beyond the grid stories going on rn in power rangers. y'know, the ones that fulfill our dreams of deathryuger being adapted into a ranger.
2: something that expands on dimensions in danger and helps to flesh out the multiverse a bit more.
Isn't Deathryuger already in the comics as the Dark Ranger?
Nitro Indigo yeah, the dark ranger got an origin issue in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers issue 35, turns out the Dark Ranger is Heckyll
Fun fact. In the Sentai, the Grey and and Cyan Rangers were ghosts who were looking for successors, the Grey Ranger eventually choosing his descendant while the Cyan Ranger gave his powers to the Blue Ranger’s sister.
So basically: Tzachor should not be allowed anywhere near Power Rangers.
Vigilant Sycamore Bingo!!
Technically that would contradict the series's eXistance, since he was it's first producer and was the producer until Wild Force.
Agreed. 100%.
Tzachor is partially responsible for the first half of turbo as well.
Power Rangers is a minor and Tzachor is a registered sex offender.
Great timing as I finished Dino Supercharge today. Can't wait to see how our opinions differ.
Same.
Marcosatsu what do you think of it, I love your content and would love to know your thoughts.
I was expecting for our opinions to be different but they're more or less the same. I loved Dino Charge but the ending was a huge cop out. Although I didn't think Supercharge was good as before.
Marcosatsu holy shit marcos i love your vids #toqger4tw
I liked Dino Charge but the ending was confusing.
Chase: Did you bring me a present?
Linkara: Yeah it's a knee in the crotch! And it's the gift that keeps on giving if you keep acting like a dude-bro!

Peace Damn Right.
Gotta love how go- busters is the newest season getting adapted
So Megaforce sucked because Tzachor wouldn't allow his CREATIVE team to do anything CREATIVE and/or INTERESTING?! I mean action scenes are cool and all but without anything else its basically junkfood for your mind
Earl Agustines uh don't you mean for your eyes.
IKR MegaForce and Super MegaForce are made that much worse now knowing the story the writers WANTED to tell
So basically if Power Rangers was written by Michael Bay?
SHOTS FIRED!!!!!
I never thought I'd say this, but Megaforce and Super Megaforce, make Power Rangers Turbo(aka: the most hated season in the Zordon Era), look good by comparison!
@@mulberryman1305 Eh I still like the season. Not for what it is but what it could've been. The untapped potential from the Gokaiger footage. At least the Goseiger and Gokaiger suits are awesome and the cast despite what happened on the show actually have great chemistry together which raises the question of why they directed them to be so damn bland?!? Hell the whole "Will They, Won't They" between Jake and Gia was something the cast had to fight to keep!
3:35 As cool as that idea sounds it was pretty naive to bank on Yost given how he was treated by Saban in the past. Probably should’ve tried gunning for a different ranger
Apparently Yost IS coming back now but I wouldn’t be surprised if he only agreed because it’s now Hasbro running the show and not Saban
It's funny hearing how Go Busters was supposed to be adapted into a sequel to RPM, given what happens in Beast Morphers
I'd like to see Linkara do a History of Yu-Gi-Oh
Also, I loved the Steven universe mention in this video :-)
Dino Charge is absolutly my favorite of the Neo Saban Era.
Wait wait wait.
GoBusters, as a sequel to RPM?
The same GoBusters that became Beast Morphers, a sequel to RPM. Huh
Minutes into the video Linkara talking about how Go-Busters is to hard to make into Power Rangers. And now Hasbro is making Go-Busters into Power Rangers.
so Tzachor is pretty much the Miller of Power Rangers... yikes
also, I loved that this season feels a lot like a classic Power Rangers, which makes sense considering is Dinosaur themed
Also makes sense considering who's in charge now, and it was certainly needed.
artistafrustrado TDKR2 all over again....
Mostly just taking something we love and just fuck up everything that was great about it ( FUCK OFF GOSEI )
Hell even sentai recognized the similarities between it and zyuranger. i mean one was kyoryu sentai zyuranger, and now we have zyuden sentai kyoryuger!
whatever ToQ is supposed to mean though i'll never know.
The G-Wing Hasbro is probably going to adapt it next and, with how well Beast Morphers is going, it’ll probably become something kickass
Honestly, the reuse of the "Dinosaur Theme" is what made me not interested in Dino Charge at first. Since we already had 2 Dinosaur themed Power Rangers seasons prior to it: Mighty Morphin Season 1 and Dino Thunder. Also, I felt the Dino Charge Megazord Combination was lazy. Instead of the Red Ranger's Zord putting on Boots like in Jungle Fury, it was the Red Ranger's Zord putting on Gloves. Now, this was just my first impression of the series. So maybe it's better than I thought?
As many problems as this season has (especially in the second half), Sir Ivan is glorious and perfect.
I actually overall liked this season 😊 (including dino super charge) but I have been waiting for this for a while 😊
There's a problem with Bhamik's(sp) Mirinoi idea. The opening explanation of RPM show's the continents of Earth being overrun by Venjix's forces. So unless Mirinoi and Earth had the exact same continental shifts that doesn't work.
Fun fact about the ranger suits. If you look at the shoulder pad and sash, it's the team symbol.
I remember this was like the second episode of HOPR I watched. Saw the turbo episode first after an episode of Atop the Fourth Wall mentioned it, and just clicked this one next. That opening line had me instantly click away to find the Megaforce review, because you don’t get “unmitigated disaster” out of nowhere.
I've been working on a Pokémon themed "season" of Power Rangers to use with the Power Rangers tabletop RPG, so I've had to work on a lot of my own mythos. This season - which I've never seen other than this retrospective - is giving me more ideas than pretty much any of the previous ones. Save maybe Wild Force.
The agreement between Saban and Toei still holds true. Seasons are only skipped for specific reasons. ToQger was skipped because American audiences are less familiar with trains than the Japanese, and Go-Buster was skipped due to the horrendous toy sails for that season.
Gotta love Arnie’s lines over a monster
17:25 it’s a cold town!
19:00 what killed the dinosaurs? THE ICE AGE!
The sad thing about super mega force is that it effectively denies us the chance to see pirate power Rangers as a stand alone series
It's always nice to see Linkara happy about power rangers again.
This season would have been amazing if they'd found a way to adapt the special where Zyuranger, Abaranger and Kyoryuger Sentai all team up. I know the Go-Busters were in there too, but there may have been a way to explain their existence as rangers from another world in the wider lore of the series.
3 years later, guess who got their wish?
I wonder how you reacted to Grid Connections...
35:05 Actually in the original Sentai, the Plesio Zord was a submarine/ship hybrid
I like how sledge is just a ranger-only creation that's why all of sledges main monsters have those like drama mask things
Linkara, I have a suggestion for a History of Power Rangers bonus episode - it would be cool if you laid out your theories for the Legendary Rangers' background story from "Countdown to Destruction" through "Forever Red" and all the way up to "Dimensions in Danger". You've already done some speculation in the relevant seasons, but I think there's now a better idea what things happened that led to past Power Rangers teams connecting, restoring their powers, and what they may be doing while new teams have their seasons. Maybe you could get more into things like Alpha 6 and 7, how/when Gosei could have been mentored by Zordon, interactions with HyperForce, how Thrax's origin makes any sense, when each destroyed power might have been repaired, and when Tommy might have received his Master Morpher (and if there are any candidates for which character(s) could have created it - maybe Sentinel Knight or Ninjor?). I think we can now also determine that the Sentai "New Powers" seen in SMF are of Power Ranger teams from other dimensions that the Legendary Rangers must have encountered before SMF, thus allowing access to new keys...somehow. Just a general speculation video on the story mainly glimpsed in anniversary specials would be a great addition to your series!
You know, something I realized something that I really like about the this season that I don't think has happened in any other season of Power Rangers actually gives this season a unique edge is the relationship between Shelby and Kendall. In every other PR season (except for 1s with just 1 female ranger) the female rangers were either 1) already good friends from before becoming rangers or 2) became friends rather quickly after becoming rangers. However, in this season, Shelby and Kendall started off at odds with each other and not really considering each other friends, but over the course of both seasons we have seen these 2 grow closer as friends and work well together as the show progressed. And in all honesty, looking back on all the previous seasons, unless the 2/3 female rangers already knew each other before, I found it hard to believe that they became friends so quickly despite their different personalities and not having many episodes devoted to building their friendship (the exception of maybe SPD but even then it didn't get much focus). Props to both actresses and the writers for this and I hope we see something like this again in future seasons.
About the discussion about skipping Go-Busters at the beginning of the video, from what I've heard, the reason people thought it should have been adapted isn't because of how it "homages" Power Rangers, but because Toei allegedly designed it from the ground up to appeal to a Western audience, making it kind of funny that the main reason for it being skipped over in Power Rangers was because of its lack of success in Japan (which one could attribute to it being tailored to a foreign market rather than its domestic one).
Reminds me how the mecha anime The Big O was also designed to be a show for Western audiences, and also flopped in Japan, but its English dub was a huge hit on Cartoon Network, so much so that a second season was made solely because of its success in the West. Kind of makes one wonder if something similar would have happened if Go-Busters did end up getting adapted.
Maple Samurai from what I remember of go busters it's set in a future world where some of the Rangers are robots and (I'm not quite sure on this one) it's a show about secret agents
So we could of had power rangers 007
One reason why go busters could have failed is that it's partner series Kamen rider wizard wasn't that good (in most people's eyes, I like it but it was my first) and that aired right before it
Shame really go busters was great
Go-Busters is about a team of 5 rangers (silver is a robot) working for an organization too keep an evil AI from being set loose on earth from a sub-dimension. it possibly could of worked but they would have too really cut around certain scenes since the Go-Busters take their helmets off alot, and Enter the main general is a human for his fight scenes for most of the early episodes
+Protodood X Ah, that makes a lot of sense for why it would be hard to adapt. I was scratching my head when Linkara's take on why Go-Busters would be difficult to turn into a Power Rangers season boiled down to, "the suits looks different," but I can see the problems now that you've explained it. Thanks. ^_^
+Protodood X I mean power rangers has gotten around having human sentai generals before (Turbo, Dino Thunder, RPM, etc.) usually but filming new scenes for fights and base footage (which is typically the standard anyway). The helmet thing could be an issue, but they've done matching shots before so it's not a deal breaker imo.
it's not impossible that is true but with apparently how much they spent on Megaforce, i can see why they skipped a season that would cost quite a bit too adapt
That moment when Super Sentai scripting is so clean the guy reviewing Power Rangers can read it. The first monster the team fights is, in fact, the embodiment of the Ice Age, one of the three Deboss Legion monsters representing the forces that killed off the dinosaurs...and also the causes of those forces, because that's how Deboss rolls. The other two are Pestilence and Meteor.
I really, really wish they had made a full 3-4 minute version of the Dino Charge theme. There IS technically a full version, but it doesn't include any new lyrics. It just has the TV version, the end credits instrumental, and then the chorus again. It's easily the best theme song since Dino Thunder.
A new HOPR is an amazing birthday present, thanks Linkara
Ohh yes!!!History of Power Rangers Dino Charge is here!!! And both are a breath of fresh air.
I like that when Koda is revealed to be a caveman, Tyler sounds so awed.
"Bring to me, 5 CGI dinosaurs with attitude" 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow, at least so far, this series seems... actually legitimately good! Like, a real turnaround from the previous two. (yes I am binging these thanks to the Lost Galaxy reupload)
"Continuity porn"...!?!!??!!!??? Thanks... Thank you very much... Trying to visualise that phrase caused my logic centre to crash into my imagination at the speed of light.
Sounds like you need a Lightspeed Rescue.
Chase: ".......are you bringing me a present?"
LK: "Yeah it's a knee in the crotch"
LOL! Love that line!
And it's the gift that keeps on giving if you keep acting like a dude bro
Honestly, it felt like Megaforce's director had ADHD, what with nearly every episode needed something "cool" or "new" like shaking keys in front of someone's face, regardless of how it fits or flowed with the season. Zordon wasn't busting out a new zord or power every fight, only when it was deemed necessary and he had time to analyze and plan for it.
Wow, I forgot about this series. Time to watch the whole thing again. WEEEEEE!!!
Qm
been a long time since i checked out history of power rangers. i really enjoyed dino charge, the opening theme is my favorite of all the new ones. this'll be fun
The funny thing about Go-Busters, is that it was planned to be easily translated into a Power Ranger series. The Rangers were "spies" and they were going for more hybrid readiness. But it was poorly received in Japan, so thats probably why it didn't come over.
I kinda do like that Albert does refuses to be a power ranger.
It is a great lesson for kids about knowing limits and that it is ok to bow out when things are just BEYOND capabilities. A lot of shows go for the “you can do ANYTHING if you put your mind to it and never give up”... which can lead to hurting the person because they went beyond their physical and/or mental capabilities.
For example, a kid is trying to lift weights. He struggles lifting 35 pounds. Instead of taking a breaking and working at a lighter weight to build up enough muscle and endurance TO lift 35 pounds, thenkid “powers through it”, resulting in a muscle injury because he pushed his body too hard.
Same thing with trying to power through without sleep, eating that one bit of food too many (causing the person to vomit or have a bad stomach ache), making too many commitments... it is important to inform kids “Know your limits and it is ok to say no.”
8:10 HA classic Linkara I bet I could make that joke better..
COMING SOON.. E.T 3.. UP YOU'RE JURASSIC PARK!
JamesTheBrony hey James
Hi
Idky but I'm imagine that movie being E.T. again but with guns and explosions as well as sunglasses and death metal.
@@dnmstarsi That's not such a bad idea.
Weird facts about the Sentai, it’s toys and the megazord. In the Sentai, there was a large amount of samba music, and the megazord, is an oddity among combinations of zords modeled after organic creatures, as it doesn’t have a Dino head on its chest or legs, as the trex head is on the right shoulder, and the tail on the right. Also, to anyone wondering what the white faces on some of the monsters are about. In the Sentai the monsters were modeled to represent emotions or emotions brought out by certain means. And in Japan, the main megazord got multiple different versions, including a small MiniPla model kit, in multiple different colors, the standard, gold, glittery translucent yellow. Also there were toy batteries that transformed into some of the zords.
34:54 Oh Hi Neccroli, guess you're a vampire again
You also noticed
mystic force was a season I liked, so seeing that design again I couldn't help it that it caught my eye. honestly i'd have been more shocked if they used one of the ten terrors or the Master costumes again
Sasuke Uchiha they did in Ninja Steel's audience
I had no idea. also anyone else think that CGI raptor looks like it cme out of Jurassic Park 3?
Larry Childers Same for Broodwing. Which does actually make some level of sense continuity-wise, which is nice
28:53 The closest we've come to History of Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog
*18:45** WELL, ACTUALLY THE KYORYUGER SUITS ARE VERY COOL(IN MY OPINION THEY'RE THE BESTS), & THE YELLOW/GRAY LINES MAKES LOOK VERY UNIQUE & STRIKING*
Akibaranger, a parody spinoff of the Super Sentai franchise also had a reference to Power Rangers as well. The actor who played Dekaranger (SPD's source material) made a cameo appearance in one episode and said to Akiba Red that he needs to head out and take part in a Power Rangers convention. That was obvious. The Go-Busters thing is something I don't need if it was intentional or not.
Let me just say I have real nostalgia for this season Dino Charge was the first season I ever watched back then I was never really interested in the series but when Super Megaforce ended that’s when I started seeing commercials for the next season and when I saw it was gonna be Dinosaur themed that caught my interest because I always liked dinosaurs and I started watching it and I became a fan of Power Rangers and I also watched some of the previous seasons on Netflix and now I’m a Power Rangers fan.
Tone wise Go-Busters did take a lot of inspiration from RPM (yes RPM, not Go-Onger) what with a similar villain and Zords and things like that, but I can't think of much more than that. I actually considered the whole "sequel to RPM" idea myself as well, so hearing that someone involved with the actual show thought of it too fills me with joy. Overall though I'm fine with it never having been adapted, I don't trust the Neo-Saban era to have done it any sort of justice and I was already heartbroken by how badly Gokaiger was treated.
I mentioned it earlier, but Saban and Hasbro (the new owner of the international toy licensing) announced that they will be adapting Go-Busters as "Power Rangers: Beast Morphers" and releasing the series in 2019.
Hm so what are your thoughts on Beast Morphers
30:11 “Good heart? Well how does one prove that to a gem?”
Have you tried singing and crying at the same time? That usually works
I got the reference
Linkara reviewing my favorite PR season yet. I have not clicked on a video so fast.
It's really nice seeing the bit about Go-busters and now knowing Beast Morphers is the next season, hopefully it's any good
Little did we know that Go-Busters is gonna be adapted in 2019
and HASBRO is doing the toys (Prays for posable Megazords)
That's actually something neat. The first season of Dino charge does kinda stand on its own.
Dino Charge was the first season since perhaps Time Force that had more than one actor with some fighting/gymnastics/acrobatics/etc. training to play a Ranger. And it pays off when they are not constantly replaced by stunt-doubles in unmorphed fights.
I love rewatching all the series and noticing all the plot holes and silliness of the series. Doesn't make it not enjoyable, just fun.
5:02 Got these from TV Tropes:
- The main villain of the first half of Go-Busters is a computer virus in the shape of a floating head. Power Ranger fans can easily draw comparison to Zordon and Venjix.
- Civilian powers (from several Disney-era seasons, particularly Dino Thunder and Operation Overdrive). Further, the Busters got their civilian powers and were chosen to be Rangers because their parents are the ones who engineered the tech - right out of SPD.
- Sunglasses as morphers (from Power Rangers Jungle Fury).
- The team takes their helmets off somewhat regularly, which does happen in Super Sentai (in Go-Onger for example), but is much more common in Power Rangers.
- One arc deals with the villain general successfully getting some of the items he was after, is awfully similar to the major arc of Power Rangers S.P.D., with Gruumm and Morgana getting one item after another in order to unleash their own Big Bad Sealed Evil in a Can.
- The gold member of the team is an eccentric genius scientist believed lost when the Big Bad was unleashed, but turns out not only to still be alive, but in possession of powers, like Gem from RPM.
- The monster making method, which involves using completely random items like forks and drills, is something that has repeatedly been used in many Power Ranger seasons.
So, as you can see, it's more than just roll calls and terminology. I know those points can still end up in the cutting room, and some of the plot points aren't that specific to Power Rangers, but you can't deny the heavy influence Power Rangers has on Go-Busters.
I think the reason why Go-Busters didn't get adapted initially was because its lack of gimmick collectibles. Samurai had the discs, Megaforce has the cards and keys, Dino Charge has the batteries, and Ninja Steel has the ninja stars. In comparison, Go-Busters is very barebones. That, and poor toy sales in Japan.
Also, the main general (who sticks around until the end of the season) is played live, and he has a lot of screentime, sometimes even in the same frame as the rangers. Reshooting scenes may be too expensive. Their morphing sequence also lacks any special flair, i.e. switching to CGI background and effect, and split screen for elaborate suiting up. Instead, they use the live footage as is with little CGI, which makes it hard to adapt wholly.
Thanks to the recent announcement though, looks like we'll be getting evil cyber Zordon after all.
Yusak William i just realized how it could be adapted into a sequal to rpm. Dr k tries to call the rpm rangers, but discovers the infected morpher and is forced to create new ones. The vilian is a back up plan created by venjix. Or better, when the rpm red ranger tries to morph, venjix takes over his mind. Again causing dr k to build the go-buster morphers.
Half a year later and Saban once again proved Linkara wrong by adapting Go-Busters. :D
Tails The Foxy it's not saban. It's Hasbro
Tyler: *Pulls out a shovel*
Death Korps of Krieg: *Happy gas mask noises*
In my opinion, this was the best way to come into the franchise. Since then, I’ve collected all five of the main Megazords, and only a couple of the repaints. But, never any of the figures unfortunately.
