Linkara mentioning how they missed the opportunity to mention that earth fought of multiple invasions and are definitely not weak made me think of a unique main villain motivation Earth has gotten a reputation for fighting off countless threats to the point that being able to destroy them would grant huge bragging rights
Kinda like in PowerPuff Girls, where apparently among monsters it's considered major bragging rights to claim you survived a fight against the Powerpuff Girls
I actually love this idea now. "Wait you're telling me Earth has defenders that has taken down multiple threats?? Then they must be the one....." It reminds me of Kraven from Insomniac Spider Man 2. A guy who wants to go out with a bang that he goes into a unfamiliar city just so he can find someone to fight to the death while also dealing with a deadly illness.
"Earth defenders never surrender!" is my favorite zany phrase to say before I lose in games. Thanks Megaforce for your contributions to my comedic arsenal for almost a decade now.
Linkara: Hell even other children's shows are capable of that in half an episode's time, ten minutes to tell an emotionally engaging story while also containing action. Pearl: *yelling at Steven and Connie after sword fighting* WHY WON'T YOU JUST LET ME DO THIS FOR YOU, ROSE!!!
"Using cards to transform into past Rangers". Well, too bad Super Sentai's parent company has already used that idea for another franchise on a much better anniversary season.
@@anternet104 Say what you will about Decade, but Tsukasa at least HAD to earn his rider cards Also at the very least they used the multiverse as a good excuse to make up for not being able to bring back past actors and still maintain SOME essence of the heisei's 10 year anniversary.
@@Roler42 idk to me it more seemed like he was teaching the AR riders to be more like their original counterparts then anything else. Tsukasa didn’t really learn from them imo
Megaforce, the ultimate tragedy of what could've been a fantastic celebration of all things mighty morphing instead turned into a confused mess that tried to sustain itself with nothing but the tropes of the series that people mock it for, as opposed to tapping into the series' actual strengths that make fans remember it dearly.
@@byakuyan8117 before samurai and Megaforce came to existence people had a higher standard for power rangers and operation overdrive didn't meet that standard and after samurai and Megaforce came to existence people starts to like operation overdrive again If I remember correctly people didn't like operation overdrive because of it's name saying it doesn't roll of the tongue well, the suit looks pretty terrible with its white colour, some characters lack writing and the plot failed to be what's its trying to be But yeah looking back it wasn't that bad
Your talk about how fast we consume pop culture might be why so many past events are ignored in Power Rangers. Like “oh you still care about Astronama’s attack on Earth in 98? You’re stuck in the past boomer!”
Whenever you say "burn up as much Sentai footage," I imagine Tzachor sitting next to a steel trash barrel, taking rolls of film, and burning said film in the trash barrel going "yes, we're done with this one."
I agree with your idea of a 'Power Rangers museum.' During the events of Megaforce, it could be a secondary hang-out space, and also for them to learn more about the Power Rangers of the past. (mainly the past, since stuff like time force and rpm haven't happened yet) But once SUPER Mega kicks in, they starting using the museum to learn more about the ranger powers, add new entries from later dates, hell, they could've even teased Dino Charge a little by referencing them via suits and keys!
I like the idea of a fan of the Power Rangers helping them a bit more, though. Both because it leads into a great intro into Silver, or Gai Ikari, in Gokaiger being an avid fan of the Sentai, and because it allows for more natural exposition. Imagine if instead of the clips being shown, we see drawings of certain scenes by our Ikari stand-in. Like part of the final fight in Samurai for the Samurai episode, or of various teams' parts in Forever Red for teams not actually from their time period, or in other dimensions.
No, technically Time Force *DID* happen, it took place in 2001. RPM also happened, since this is after Samurai, though if it's finished by that point, we don't know. So both would be viable during the first season.
Honestly i think it would work better if Gosei was someone who study the teachings of Zordon instead of being his protege. That way we don't have to think about where he was during the previous seasons.
That I can agree. At least then it'll explain WHY Gosei doesn't know Countdown to Destruction (though it would be nice if even Gosei knows about that).
I hate adding super on the end of the shows. It's just so dumb. It's a uneeded addition to the show name and makes keeping track of it and stuff for it harder. Imagine if anytime the rangers got a power up they had to add Super to the name. Like Super Dino Thunder, Super SPD etc it's dumb.
@@chendror872 And here’s the big kicker… in two and a half shows, Hasbro has managed to make a much more tighter and cohesive vision of the Power Rangers universe (with everything from returning characters to mentioning past events to even following up on old plot lines) then the entirety of the Disney and Neo-Saban era. Hasbro knows what the hell they’re doing
"A single year can alter the landscape of what people are talking about, what people are watching and listening to, what they'll feel nostalgic for..." YE DON'T SAY!!!
Ya know, it's funny to think how this team was called Megaforce when In Space was based off Megaranger, to the point where even In Space still referred to a lot of their things with Mega.
"You've got a large audience of kids who are still getting used to the idea of new protagonists; I've heard many anecdotes of parents of very confused kids, asking why the Samurai Rangers aren't around any more if this is Power Rangers". That may be the single most relatable thing I've heard on HoPR. I remember as an 8 year old, I refused to watch Ninja Storm simply because it wasn't Wild Force, the team that had got me into Power Rangers the previous year. I've wondered ever since then how many kids bother sticking with Power Rangers after their introductory team is rotated out.
In the uk we got episodes sporadically after zero. So I watched the turbo movie on vhs and the next episode I saw was the introduction to storm blaster and lightning cruiser with a whole new cast! I didn’t know what was going on!
I had a buffer by getting 3 different versions of the Rangers on video. A Lightspeed Rescue tape, a Time Force tape, and Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie. The beginning advertisement that showcased the Power Rangers tapes available also showed me how many teams there were. It made the whole "changing team" thing easier to swallow
@@game84cube I had a similar experience. The first episode of Dino Thunder on dvd, and a Ninja Storm tape. Still two of my favorite seasons. If only for the nostalgia
As a kid I understood that every season was gonna have a new cast of characters especially after In Space and followed every season. I mean it’s not that hard to figure out that once their main villain is defeated their job is done
22:52 For what it’s worth, they were actually called bugs in Goseiger despite them looking much more like Bats. I can’t really blame the writers in this instance.
Thinking about it a way that could’ve helped the show was had they negotiated with Nick to make each season 26 episodes (which seems to be the maximum they allow) rather than sticking with 20 for each. By giving each season 26 episodes they could somewhat reasonably adapt each sentai better with more breathing room and give more room for tribute episodes. Plus with more epsiodes Gosei’s upgrades wouldn’t feel as random. Also instead of acting like the two unrelated Sentai are connected I’d do what you suggested and have the powers get destroyed in the first season finale necessitating new ones. Making it a new beginning not an upgrade. To add to that instead of “Super Megaforce” call the Gokaiger segment “Legacy Force” that would denote to the audience it’s connected to Megaforce but not the same as it was before, unlike how Samurai and Super Samurai were two halves of a whole
Here's how I would fix Megaforce: 1. Make the villain factions different divisions of what I'm calling the Zangyak Empire. The Demonic Insectoids, led by Admiral Malkor and Colonel Creepox, The Evil Mut-Orgs, led by Biggs and Bleufur, and The Fearbots, led by Commander Metal Alice, all under the control of Crown Prince Vrak. 2. Jordan should become a ranger in the last few episodes of the first season, before the big climax, piloting the Crane Mechazord that was used in Goseiger but sadly never used in Megaforce. 3. The boys in this better version get switched around mid-series. Jordan becomes the Red Ranger, Troy becomes the Blue Ranger and Noah becomes the Green Ranger. This would match up better with stock footage, because I really can't see Gosei Black goofing off. 4. Jake eventually comes back as the Silver Ranger.
I actually made a megaforce green of my own. So basically he's megaforce blues brother. He dies on the last episode of s2. And his name was Jordan as well. Any changes
Here's another one you could add, drop the Gokaiger suits except for the Silver suit and when they do their tribute episodes they wear the armor with the heads of the past ranger's zords and use their weapons.
Wouldn't Creepox be a captain? And why stop at him, add Targate and Crisolar to the mix as well, though while Crisolar's name can probably stay the same, Targate definitely nees something different for how serious of a monster he's supposed to be. One good name I saw was Teleportal, still a bit goofy but not as goofy.
Actually, that "callback to previous seasons" joke with the class could also technically apply to Lost Galaxy, whose main villains were insects as well. Also, the answers of Insects and Robots are subtle hints to Megaforce itself, with Insects being the main villains of the team and our Red Ranger being a robot
A telling line from Ciara Hanna: She and other actors pushed for more mature storylines only to be told by producers "our audience is five years old." She praised Dino Charge and seemed to like being a Ranger, just disliked how this season turned out.
This is why I don't blame the actors in Megaforce and Super Megaforce. All of them are aware on what improvement/s should be done, and they inform the higher ups about it. I blame Nickelodeon and Tzachor on those fiaco.
I can only hope that Hasbro handles the 30th anniversary better, like if it's still in Dino Fury or the series after that it'd be great to focus on the children of some of the past Rangers, from pre Disney, not the entire team but imagine Jason's daughter being a ranger or Eric and Taylor's kid, realistically, they could be teenagers at that point, and maybe do what Dino Thunder did and have a past Ranger as the mentor like maybe Billy
@@estebangutierrez160 So... David Yost as Ho-Oh Soldier? That could work! Honestly tho, I doubt David Yost would come back. A LOT of bad memories associated with it, even if he doesn't regret his time as a ranger.
@@santiviera if Yoshi Sudarso overcome his bad memories of playing Koda from all the bullying he received as a kid from his bad English, then Ik David Yost can overcome it too.
@@estebangutierrez160 Well I guess he did, since he'll be back Once & Always. "if Yoshi Sudarso overcome his bad memories of playing Koda from all the bullying he received as a kid from his bad English" Wait what?
Tbh, I think that the issue is that this is too much like MMPR and ignores the way the franchise has evolved since then. The first season of MMPR also had a lot of characters getting new powerups for no reason and random teleportation
In defense of the show, the reason future teams such as SPD and Time Force are there are most likely because they both traveled back in time to before MegaForce where Gosei to see them. For RPM it could be because the red RPM ranger traveled to the dimension and he left an imprint on the morphing grid where Gosei could see it and the other RPM rangers, of course that is just a theory.
@@plantainsame2049isn’t an entity, a biological energy field that exists everywhere, so it would likely just bring them itself because it’s impartial and can only be good or evil when used for such, the rangers are just the only ones to use the grid for the most part
They could have also brought back Tommy as the teacher, that might be cliche and fans might get annoyed after seeing him already a teacher in Dino Thunder, but it would have been cool to see an old ranger come back to teach this new team
I remember when this was uploaded originally, and I remember enjoying watching it. Shame you still have so many issues keeping these episodes up in spite of following the guidelines. Thank you for keeping this labour of love going. I really do hope that coming Power Rangers series are more interesting than Megaforce was. Low bar, but as the last couple of years have shown one really can’t take things for granted.
Now that Hasbro owns Power Rangers, odds are they’re already looking at History of Power Rangers and making plans to threaten UA-cam into keeping the episodes up. If there’s one thing Hasbro appreciates, it’s when the fans do stuff like this
@@NoahDaArkUnless it's a certain UA-camr who shall not be named when talking about a cartoon starring talking ponies (And fan animations unrelated to the actual show)
I remember watching some episodes of Megaforce on Nickalodeon a long time ago. And when Gosei gave the team a new Zord or power up, I thought it was awesome. Then they did the same thing the following week, and my reaction was: "Wait, didn't you already give them a new Zord last episode?"
Megaforce should have been a straight up sequel to MMPR. Like, should've take place in Angel Grove, the headquarters should've been just the original Power Chamber rebuilt, make the mentor, I dunno, Alpha? Andros? Hailey? There's a lot of people who could've taken that role. Make Ernie Ernie's descendant. Not really sure about the villains, but maybe something like, the alliance of evil has been able to rebuild itself after all this time and is ready for revenge. Master Vile can be leading it, I don't think they ever took care of him. The second batch of enemies could be a new Machine Empire, and if they're still gunning for a Gokaiger merger, one of their members could be Divatox's son/fanboy/sucessor (it will also be a perfect way to show how far Power Rangers has come, from having their villain be poorly dubbed to actually having the actor himself show up for the american footage). It helps that Goseiger is partially based off of _Zyuranger and Dairanger! What the_ hell _are you doing Saban?!_
Putting Super or Extreme in front of the title, doesn't add anything to the show. Previous seasons never had that. Mighty Morphin never had that, Turbo never had that, In Space never had that. It just feels really phoned in, as though they're pandering to kids. Thankfully Hasbro hasn't gone that route.
Thinking about they could've called the zords, Spirit Zords made from the spirit of the earth and a connection to Wild Force but that's an idea 9 years after the fact
Okay that is hilarious, but the question was what species will outlive all others. So Troy did actually heard the question and didn't answer wrong. Edit. I feel dirty defending Megaforce.
Thanks for the reupload. I know is disheartening to have this series been chop and censored more to keep up with the UA-cam law to evade copyright strikes. So the most sincere thanks again. Hope that you have a nice one and keep it safe
The original ernie had an impact on the rangers cause there was times he indirectly helped them. He was a character to remember . This Ernie really didn't make sense.
Also to add. Or when Gosei's mentor's arch enemy witch reawakened and attempted to take over the world. Or when that witch's boss and later husband decided to take over, or when her dad decided to do something about them failing, or when the Machine Empire decided to try to invade Earth and kicked the previous guys out. Or when an irritating incompetent Pirate decided to take over the world for some reason.
They really should have saved bringing back bulk for megaforce they could have even kept spike and just have bulk teaching him the way of the power ranger instead of the samurai and yes use that him running ernies idea. It all in all would have been a more fitting use of the character.
In my head cannon, Gosei is the "The Watcher" of the Power Rangers universe. Hence the statues and knowledge of other series from alternative worlds and times.
The location of the command centre has the strongest connection to the morphing grid on the planet, so the Ranger Powers stored there with the Ranger Keys will never diminish over time. That’s just something I thought of that could be added to Linkara’s idea of it being a storage location for the Ranger Keys and why that specific location was chosen.
Ok, not going to reuse the same comment from the original video so I'll just give my two cents comparing this to Beast Morphers. While Beast Morphers isn't as grand as In Space it at least shows that Hasbro cares enough to put actual effort into the writing of the show and at least when it uses nostalgic imagery and callbacks to previous seasons theres's actual narrative purpose to that unlike Megafarce which just brings up old Rangers to say a few things, give no passing the torch moments and when the show isn't doing that its dragging Goseiger and Gokaiger though the dirt. But yeah after 4 sessions of the Neo Saban era drunkenly stumbling about it's good to see Power Rangers start to get back on track and hopefully Dino Fury will keep that momentum going. Oh and also Hasbro FINALLY STOPPED WITH THE CONSTANT FART JOKES!!! Had to get that off my chest, anyway may the Power protect us all.
(SPOILERS FOR BEAST MORPHERS!) The biggest proof that Hasbro has more respect for Power Rangers then the Neo-Saban era had has to be with the reveal that Evox is Venjix. When Beast Morphers started I joking theorized that the two were related, but then I moved into my own place and wasn’t able to keep watching the series. So imagine my surprise when just last month I learned about that big twist… and my jaw hit the floor! Hasbro took one look at RPM’s twist ending and embraced the JonTron meme by saying “I can make this work!” And they did, and it was awesome!
How is it every time I find myself rewatching a random HOPR, Linkara always posts a HOPR video (whether new or a re-upload) and here I am, diving into the whole series again. And as far as Mega Force.....god, what a classic fuck up of a series
"I still say Overdrive is worst because it would often get purely unbearable to watch..." I think I see why you consider Overdrive more terrible than Megaforce, and not just unbearable to watch. The pacing, the story, the characters, etc. Despite Megaforce being a failure, the characters are not idiots, especially the blue ranger, despite being annoying af when they say, "Never give up" and "Never surrender" you were at least convinced and shown they aren't going to give up, while the Overdrive gave up once they lose their powers even though they still have civilian powers. Vrak was more interesting than both Megaforce and Overdrive's villains. No Kalishplosions too make it boring. etc.
Seeing as he cut the music at the beginning of the episode.. could he bandai as it was more than 6 seconds or the music company or anyone else ever using that music.. or disney or hasbro or saban.. the possibilties to screw a youtuber over are as endless as the ocean..
@@Elyanley I don’t think Hasbro was behind it, mostly because their mentality when it comes to fan content is “let the fans have their fun, and if they do something epic give them their own freaking Transformer character!”
... The symbology as i see it with the Megaforce Morphers goes something like this: To stop being their own inadequet selves they choose/get chosen a generic/artificial self to become (the cards), who are then literally consumed by the face representing the conflict (The morphers).
Linkara "That other invasion of demons from a netherworld that wanted to merge our world with theirs" Mr "I didn't know Power Ranger had a cross over with Mortal Kombat!
24:41 sentai stuff like that makes its way into pr all the time too it comes with using footage that includes text. It’s more a fun observation and kids aren’t going to notice it.
Well, with Beast Morphers done, without spoiling it for you, I personally think the Hasbro era is off to a good start so far. Not sure what to think of Dino Fury yet, but I'm waiting for the episodes to be posted online since Nickelodeon is INSISTENT on airing new episodes early in the frickin' morning. Up yours, Nickelodeon! Up yours! Anyway, yes, I agree that Megaforce was a mess, but the two main causes of said mess are Nickelodeon for their STUPID contract restrictions and Jonathan Tzachor for adding Sentai exclusive suits with little to no explanation. I enjoyed the finale for what it was, but I DO think there should've been more than that. If the Armada's air forces weren't destroyed early, we could've seen some past Megazords fight them while some of the other past Rangers (along with the Megaforce team) dealt with the ground assault. That would've at least made the battle itself a bit more better, don't you think?
Highly unlikely that people might see this and respond to this but hey ho? I was going to do a kind of rewrite of Mega Force and as Linkara points out there are so many new power-ups that get introduced for no somewhat justifiable reason or they get introduced too early. So I was thinking that every 4 episodes a new Zord or a new power gets introduced and that coincides with a character focus episode. Thoughts?
That depends on how many episodes you plan to write and if you plan you introduce all the zords. My best advice is kick out a lot of zord power ups, most are unnecessary. And then every four episodes works out 👍
@soda1496 thanks for the replay. For the additional powers, I was thinking of keeping the sea, sky, and land brothers, Ultra Gosei great Mega Zord, mostly because it is important to me that a team has some sort of Ultra Zord and needs to brother zords for that. Robo knight zords and mega zord. Defiantly cutting the stupid jet Mega Zord and gosei Ultimate and I was thinking about 30 to 40 eps to fit everything in
You know that the fans care more about the show than the show itself when we create ideas and concepts (that are always awesome) and the show, gives us nothing
The funniest thing about MegaForce is that I actually liked both Vrak and Vekar. Vrak was the competent rival to the Rangers, and Vekar was, well, just comic relief. I would have liked to see both together onscreen to better show the (Probably toxic) family dynamic, especially since Warz Gill and Brajira just so happen to look like they're from the same species so it would even look right, but Sentai footage says no.
Which is why I maintain they should adapt shattered grid because that story was really awesome and badass and did the power rangers justice way more then this season
@@doggosho3044 true but i have a loophole why not make a animated series that way it won't cost to much and you could pull it off amazingly and boom problem solved everybody wins.
I think they should of pulled a zeo when they transitioned from the goseiger to the gokaiger suits by having them loose the goseiger powers and have some random event happen where they get the new morphers and powers. In an episode near the end of the first season they even have their morphers damaged which would of been perfect for that scenario to happen.
I personally do not mind when the Japanese lettering and signage makes its way into the North American show. Every time Jason made his power crystal for the megazord. He would pull his power coin out of a morpher that did not say Power Rangers on it. It said "zyuranger" on the top and "kyōryū sentai" on the bottom... To me they are all fun little shout outs
I have a lot of issues with this season. Like I dislike how the villains are just "let's take this planet" as if this is the first time we've been here. Wouldn't it have been more interesting if the villains this time were targeting Earth? Like say, they were a faction allied with the United Alliance of Evil, Dark Specter, or just members of Zedd's old empire and sought out Earth for revenge. Maybe the enemy is after this planet's link to the Morphing Grid so they can access the same power that has defeated their like so often before. Or maybe these guys are space conquers who stumble upon Earth not realizing THIS is the planet of legend! The planet protected by the Power Rangers... so they must call for reinforcements from their true leader (cue foreshadow for Super Megaforce)
Come to think of it, Goseiger still could have been a very good adaptation for the anniversary. Given the motiff they could have said that these powers were another backup plan by Zordon and then save the grand concept from Gokaiger for later
*13:37* hey imagine a transformer power ranger crossover and they explain the morphing grid is the all spark but the all spark is a holder slash avatar of the morphing gridd
The sentai is based on Angels The Mentor that gives those powers is a pupil of Zordon. The cast are teenagers. If there was ever a time to go back to Angel Grove this was it.
Y'know, if they really wanted to do an anniversary season, why not one about why Earth and humans are so dang important. Seriously, one planet has dozens of teams, hundreds of zords, and countless Macguffins of Ultimate Power: The Energems, the Corona Auroroa, the Zeo Crystal. Maybe reveal that Earth is the one point in the universe where the Morphin Grid can be easily accessed and that's why so much stuff is drawn here.
I see that this is being reuploaded so cool. Though... a part of me still thinks this: "It is so awkward to be 2 days older than the first episode of Power Rangers' premier! 😓"
This video might get deleted again but screw it. Compressing a 50 episode show into a 20 episode one could be done, though I wonder if there's a rule in the contract stating that PR must adapt most if not all powerups and zords from sentai (plus who would pass the opportunity to sell more merchandise if the design already exists?) Summer movie toys are usually skipped, which is baffling why PR adapted that pointless train episode when it's only used once in Megaforce anyways. This is a more super megaforce thing, but (assuming they use minimal sentai footage) 20 episodes is not enough to make tribute episodes to all PR seasons prior to Megaforce without being rushed (and that doesn't even count dedicating episodes for the main plot itself)
In Hs, I would wake up at 6:30 am, get to school by 8, have sports practice until 6 pm, then I’d have 6-8 hours of homework a night. EIGHT. HOURS. So I only ever got 4-6 hours of sleep per night. Yeah, I would absolutely never describe myself as energetic.
3:28 Mr. Wordsworth is one of the greatest characters ever, and he appears in one twenty-four-minute (including credits) episode, so if an episode of TV can do that then twenty episodes of TV can develop five characters. now comparing Power Rangers to The Twilight Zone is a false equivalate but my point still stands that you can tell good stories in twenty episodes, what type of genre/show/demographic that is your show is/has doesn't matter in this regard because you can tell good stories regardless of genre/type of show/demographic.
Well I'm not surprised that another hopr had to be reuploaded. Why does this keep happening though? Gosei:There's a simple explanation for that! Of course there is.
I've been rethinking Overdrive and Mega Force since I never saw them and only saw them through this retrospective and am I the only one who thinks those 2 seasons would work better if they were kids....I mean the Blue Ranger in Turbo was a kid. Imagine a Power Rangers team that function like the Shazam family in the recent DC movies and comics....
I actually like some of the elements of Megaforce. The costumes are great. The card idea was kind of fun and new. The Zord being these totem heads was kind of cool, and I like that the Zords (and Rangers) have this “land, sea, sky,” theme rather than elements like previous Ranger teams had. Now the Rangers THEMSELVES could’ve been interesting . . .
I've just realised, the morphers have Gosie's face on them, which is fairly egotistical for a giant Tikki head that's in a wall, assuming that Gosie designed them?
Troy were on the rooftop and tried to hit a water bottle. Tommy Wiseau hit a water bottle on a rooftop. Oh, oh... Tommy Wiseau exists in the Power Rangers universe. Now it is confirmed. Troy needed to say: "I tried to hit her. I did NOT!" 🤣👍
Wow, 14 hours of ninja steel. Yay. I hope I don’t have to binge watch ninja steel ever again. It was a chore to sit through. Most of the fandom might agree with me. Although when they spread the fart jokes throughout the season and didn’t do them one episode after the other, I enjoyed it more than when they did it one episode after the other.
Got hit with another copyright claim and block, huh? You know, I've actually been doing MCU-related video series myself. I uploaded a video for Iron Man, and it was instantly blocked. I've gone and re-edited the video at least five times, and they still found something to block and claim. At this point, I might end up having more pictures than actual footage. They make it really hard to do stuff like this with all these harsh restrictions. Here's hoping this is the last you have to reupload: godspeed, Lewis.
Next thing you know videos with pictures are getting copyright blocked and youtube will still not just give a simple timestamp of where the copyright is
Maybe there was a certain point in the future where Zordon could "see" said future, and he used that knowledge to plan ahead. (possibly due to that time warp he was trapped in.)
Not to play Giritina's advocate here, especially because Megaforce really isn't that good and it has a lot of problems with it, but: 10:19-10:54: Given Zordan as on earth for 10000 years he was probably keeping track of all the ancient enemies and the like of Earth, I wouldn't put it past him given all his extensive backup plans. So when it comes to things like the Demons, the Orgs, Lothor, the Master, those seeking the Corona Arora, Daishi, and the Nilock, he probably knew about the organizations or people that were specifically training to deal with them, thus Gosei wouldn't need to intervene in those battles unless the heroes lost. The only exceptions are Countdown to Destruction, Ransik, and Messaga, for the latter two they were relatively new threats that did not exist before Zordan's death, but Messaga was very localized and didn't branch out enough to be a threat to the whole world, Ranski was the same until the end when the Time Holes opened and then at that point Gosei should have awakened. He also defiantly should have helped during Countdown to Destruction given how big that invasion was. 18:38-18:47: To be fair, these guys are not the first Ranger Team to never change clothes, there have been other teams that each only seemed to have no other outfits. Now some have legitimate reasons, like how the Space Rangers, SPD, Mystic Force, Overdrive, or RPM all have uniforms they wear a lot when in the base and on duty, but they do have civilian clothes they do put on sometimes. The Time Force Team, while only having one outfit each it's kind of understandable given they came from the future and didn't bring much with them so they only have one set of clothes each. However, there are other teams where it doesn't really make much sense: Lightspeed Rescue, Wild Force, and half of the Lost Galaxy team. For Lightspeed and Wild Force they both have team jackets, but what they wear underneath the jackets can be anything they want, but both teams always wear the same outfits underneath the jackets. As for Lost Galaxy, while Kai, Damon, Kendrix, and Mike all have the excuse of wearing Terra Venture uniforms, Maya and Karon don't wear uniforms, and after Mike returns Leo stops wear his uniform for one civilian outfit that wears all the time, heck both Leo and Karon were still wearing those outfits in Legendary Battle at the end of Megaforce, it been 14 years and they haven't thought of changing them.
Fun fact gosei isn't zordon's student it's just a weird shaoshifting idiot who likes to cause terrible deeds to the planet and I think the aliens just wanted to form a friendship connection and the mega rangers just attacked them causing war and in the final battle gosei mind controlled all the other rangers to make it look like the mega rangers are good
Linkara mentioning how they missed the opportunity to mention that earth fought of multiple invasions and are definitely not weak made me think of a unique main villain motivation
Earth has gotten a reputation for fighting off countless threats to the point that being able to destroy them would grant huge bragging rights
That feels like it would've been in an episode of Doctor Who.
And if you can destroy the earth you get to be on Venus
Marvin the Martian: challenge accepted
Kinda like in PowerPuff Girls, where apparently among monsters it's considered major bragging rights to claim you survived a fight against the Powerpuff Girls
I actually love this idea now.
"Wait you're telling me Earth has defenders that has taken down multiple threats?? Then they must be the one....."
It reminds me of Kraven from Insomniac Spider Man 2. A guy who wants to go out with a bang that he goes into a unfamiliar city just so he can find someone to fight to the death while also dealing with a deadly illness.

Gosei: I'm gonna just not say anything
Alpha: ...ZORDON WHY

"Using cards to transform into past Rangers". Well, too bad Super Sentai's parent company has already used that idea for another franchise on a much better anniversary season.
Ik Megaforce is shit but calling Decade much better is a stretch to say the least
@@anternet104 it is its not good but its better than whatever megaforce is
The only difference decade was watchable
@@anternet104 Say what you will about Decade, but Tsukasa at least HAD to earn his rider cards
Also at the very least they used the multiverse as a good excuse to make up for not being able to bring back past actors and still maintain SOME essence of the heisei's 10 year anniversary.
@@Roler42 idk to me it more seemed like he was teaching the AR riders to be more like their original counterparts then anything else. Tsukasa didn’t really learn from them imo
Megaforce, the ultimate tragedy of what could've been a fantastic celebration of all things mighty morphing instead turned into a confused mess that tried to sustain itself with nothing but the tropes of the series that people mock it for, as opposed to tapping into the series' actual strengths that make fans remember it dearly.
We should blame Nickelodeon, folks.
But then again, it's still better than operation overdrive.
@@rommelgonzalez2730 why people hate Operation Overdrice so much? It wasnt a master piece but it was better than mega.
@@byakuyan8117 before samurai and Megaforce came to existence people had a higher standard for power rangers and operation overdrive didn't meet that standard and after samurai and Megaforce came to existence people starts to like operation overdrive again
If I remember correctly people didn't like operation overdrive because of it's name saying it doesn't roll of the tongue well, the suit looks pretty terrible with its white colour, some characters lack writing and the plot failed to be what's its trying to be
But yeah looking back it wasn't that bad
@@billymccrary2246 why? Nickelodeon had zero to nothing to do with the show's quality
Your talk about how fast we consume pop culture might be why so many past events are ignored in Power Rangers. Like “oh you still care about Astronama’s attack on Earth in 98? You’re stuck in the past boomer!”
Whenever you say "burn up as much Sentai footage," I imagine Tzachor sitting next to a steel trash barrel, taking rolls of film, and burning said film in the trash barrel going "yes, we're done with this one."
Wait sir! We 5 minutes of fights scenes left on that reel
11:53 “Just Ignore the Green outline, that’s not important until next season”
And Gosei never explains it even though it would take a second to explain. As a wise child once said, "Wha' a stupid bitch"
If I had a dollar for every time he’s had to reupload a HOPR episode... I might be able to afford some of that legacy collection stuff
😂, *i just want more mechas 🙃
Sometimes, I just hope he would upload, or in this case re-upload, every single HOPR video with the atop the fourth wall graphics.
Or, just watch the episodes on his website! B)
@@techguy651 they get taken down because of copyright and then he has to re-edit them to use less footage from the show so he can post it again
I would be able to afford a gaburerevolver
I agree with your idea of a 'Power Rangers museum.'
During the events of Megaforce, it could be a secondary hang-out space, and also for them to learn more about the Power Rangers of the past. (mainly the past, since stuff like time force and rpm haven't happened yet) But once SUPER Mega kicks in, they starting using the museum to learn more about the ranger powers, add new entries from later dates, hell, they could've even teased Dino Charge a little by referencing them via suits and keys!
Proof that us fans give more than the show itself: this comment and the awesome concept in it
I like the idea of a fan of the Power Rangers helping them a bit more, though. Both because it leads into a great intro into Silver, or Gai Ikari, in Gokaiger being an avid fan of the Sentai, and because it allows for more natural exposition. Imagine if instead of the clips being shown, we see drawings of certain scenes by our Ikari stand-in. Like part of the final fight in Samurai for the Samurai episode, or of various teams' parts in Forever Red for teams not actually from their time period, or in other dimensions.
No, technically Time Force *DID* happen, it took place in 2001. RPM also happened, since this is after Samurai, though if it's finished by that point, we don't know. So both would be viable during the first season.
Beast Morphers did a pr musseum in away
Honestly i think it would work better if Gosei was someone who study the teachings of Zordon instead of being his protege. That way we don't have to think about where he was during the previous seasons.
That I can agree.
At least then it'll explain WHY Gosei doesn't know Countdown to Destruction (though it would be nice if even Gosei knows about that).
Also make him an old friend of Ninjor for good measure.
@@Rabbitlord108ok I love this
I love how Hasbro finally came in and said, “That ‘Super’ shit is over with!” And Beast Morphers season 2 is still just called Beast Morphers
Yes because unlike saban they don't think kids are stupid
I hate adding super on the end of the shows.
It's just so dumb.
It's a uneeded addition to the show name and makes keeping track of it and stuff for it harder.
Imagine if anytime the rangers got a power up they had to add Super to the name.
Like Super Dino Thunder, Super SPD etc it's dumb.
@@chendror872 Sorry, did you meant Tzachor? X)
@@Archon3960 yea that fanboy
@@chendror872 And here’s the big kicker… in two and a half shows, Hasbro has managed to make a much more tighter and cohesive vision of the Power Rangers universe (with everything from returning characters to mentioning past events to even following up on old plot lines) then the entirety of the Disney and Neo-Saban era. Hasbro knows what the hell they’re doing
I paused the video when Mia's drivers license was shown, and it turns out Power Rangers Samurai takes place in a city called Panorama City
He knows. He even brought it up.
"A single year can alter the landscape of what people are talking about, what people are watching and listening to, what they'll feel nostalgic for..."
YE DON'T SAY!!!
Gee... YA THINK!?!?!?!
Ya know, it's funny to think how this team was called Megaforce when In Space was based off Megaranger, to the point where even In Space still referred to a lot of their things with Mega.
Mega weird
"You've got a large audience of kids who are still getting used to the idea of new protagonists; I've heard many anecdotes of parents of very confused kids, asking why the Samurai Rangers aren't around any more if this is Power Rangers".
That may be the single most relatable thing I've heard on HoPR. I remember as an 8 year old, I refused to watch Ninja Storm simply because it wasn't Wild Force, the team that had got me into Power Rangers the previous year. I've wondered ever since then how many kids bother sticking with Power Rangers after their introductory team is rotated out.
In the uk we got episodes sporadically after zero. So I watched the turbo movie on vhs and the next episode I saw was the introduction to storm blaster and lightning cruiser with a whole new cast! I didn’t know what was going on!
i cant remember which seasons exactly i watched as a kid but i do remember being VERY confused as to where tf the casts were going lmao
I had a buffer by getting 3 different versions of the Rangers on video. A Lightspeed Rescue tape, a Time Force tape, and Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie. The beginning advertisement that showcased the Power Rangers tapes available also showed me how many teams there were. It made the whole "changing team" thing easier to swallow
@@game84cube I had a similar experience. The first episode of Dino Thunder on dvd, and a Ninja Storm tape. Still two of my favorite seasons. If only for the nostalgia
As a kid I understood that every season was gonna have a new cast of characters especially after In Space and followed every season. I mean it’s not that hard to figure out that once their main villain is defeated their job is done
22:52 For what it’s worth, they were actually called bugs in Goseiger despite them looking much more like Bats.
I can’t really blame the writers in this instance.
So, what you’re saying is: Gonta would be very disappointed with Goseiger
@@aionicthunderI understood that reference
Thinking about it a way that could’ve helped the show was had they negotiated with Nick to make each season 26 episodes (which seems to be the maximum they allow) rather than sticking with 20 for each.
By giving each season 26 episodes they could somewhat reasonably adapt each sentai better with more breathing room and give more room for tribute episodes. Plus with more epsiodes Gosei’s upgrades wouldn’t feel as random.
Also instead of acting like the two unrelated Sentai are connected I’d do what you suggested and have the powers get destroyed in the first season finale necessitating new ones. Making it a new beginning not an upgrade. To add to that instead of “Super Megaforce” call the Gokaiger segment “Legacy Force” that would denote to the audience it’s connected to Megaforce but not the same as it was before, unlike how Samurai and Super Samurai were two halves of a whole
Who else is looking forward to the History of Power Rangers Beast Morphers?
I still havent finished the 2ns season
Me!
Where can I watch it?
Netflix
@@AcyraxJ Okay thanks.
Late night Power Rangers release.....Just like Disney wanted....... Still, thanks for re-uploading!
"I know that because shut up!" I just love that line. XD
Same here. It really emphasizes the "show don't tell" mindset.
Here's how I would fix Megaforce:
1. Make the villain factions different divisions of what I'm calling the Zangyak Empire. The Demonic Insectoids, led by Admiral Malkor and Colonel Creepox, The Evil Mut-Orgs, led by Biggs and Bleufur, and The Fearbots, led by Commander Metal Alice, all under the control of Crown Prince Vrak.
2. Jordan should become a ranger in the last few episodes of the first season, before the big climax, piloting the Crane Mechazord that was used in Goseiger but sadly never used in Megaforce.
3. The boys in this better version get switched around mid-series. Jordan becomes the Red Ranger, Troy becomes the Blue Ranger and Noah becomes the Green Ranger. This would match up better with stock footage, because I really can't see Gosei Black goofing off.
4. Jake eventually comes back as the Silver Ranger.
I actually made a megaforce green of my own.
So basically he's megaforce blues brother.
He dies on the last episode of s2.
And his name was Jordan as well.
Any changes
Or check out the fanfics on Megaforce. Some are better than the source material. B)
Here's another one you could add, drop the Gokaiger suits except for the Silver suit and when they do their tribute episodes they wear the armor with the heads of the past ranger's zords and use their weapons.
Why do us fans care more about the season than the show. This Concept. It's epic
Wouldn't Creepox be a captain? And why stop at him, add Targate and Crisolar to the mix as well, though while Crisolar's name can probably stay the same, Targate definitely nees something different for how serious of a monster he's supposed to be. One good name I saw was Teleportal, still a bit goofy but not as goofy.
It’s videos like this that makes me wish that Linkara was part of the writer’s team for Power Rangers
Considering Hasbro’s tendency to hire fans, I wouldn’t be surprised if they ask Linkara to be a creative consultant
Hell might as well hire him on so he can give some better and new ideas.
Linkara would be a good fit
Hasbro should definetly hire him for a future Hasbro season. Maybe for a readaptation of Gokaiger for another anniversary season
If they ever do I will miss him
Actually, that "callback to previous seasons" joke with the class could also technically apply to Lost Galaxy, whose main villains were insects as well. Also, the answers of Insects and Robots are subtle hints to Megaforce itself, with Insects being the main villains of the team and our Red Ranger being a robot
Stop trying to make sense of this show's fucking laziness!!
Clever. But what did they make with this subtlety?
_picks up mic._
*_NOTHIIIIIIING!_*
I see what you did there with the last one
@@bobbyshaddoe3004 super late, but
ah, so no one is allowed to enjoy the show
As a 15 year old about to become 16, This season was an insult to Goseiger and Gokaiger but Gokaiger for the second part of Megaforce
I actually like hearing your head canon more than the actual show lol love these vids
A telling line from Ciara Hanna: She and other actors pushed for more mature storylines only to be told by producers "our audience is five years old."
She praised Dino Charge and seemed to like being a Ranger, just disliked how this season turned out.
Honestly Hasbro needs to REVISIT Megaforce, maybe have the team be a backup group to another team in a future anniversary series
@@rambofan334 Agreed
Megaforce deserves a chance for redemption. With better writing, they would actually become fan favorites
This is why I don't blame the actors in Megaforce and Super Megaforce. All of them are aware on what improvement/s should be done, and they inform the higher ups about it.
I blame Nickelodeon and Tzachor on those fiaco.
Did nickelodeon think Power Rangers was going to be on Nick Jr?
I can only hope that Hasbro handles the 30th anniversary better, like if it's still in Dino Fury or the series after that it'd be great to focus on the children of some of the past Rangers, from pre Disney, not the entire team but imagine Jason's daughter being a ranger or Eric and Taylor's kid, realistically, they could be teenagers at that point, and maybe do what Dino Thunder did and have a past Ranger as the mentor like maybe Billy
I really hope David Yost comes back.
@KGK Skull I hope David Yost becomes a mentor for Kyuranger if it gets adapted.
@@estebangutierrez160 So... David Yost as Ho-Oh Soldier? That could work! Honestly tho, I doubt David Yost would come back. A LOT of bad memories associated with it, even if he doesn't regret his time as a ranger.
@@santiviera if Yoshi Sudarso overcome his bad memories of playing Koda from all the bullying he received as a kid from his bad English, then Ik David Yost can overcome it too.
@@estebangutierrez160
Well I guess he did, since he'll be back Once & Always.
"if Yoshi Sudarso overcome his bad memories of playing Koda from all the bullying he received as a kid from his bad English"
Wait what?
Tbh, I think that the issue is that this is too much like MMPR and ignores the way the franchise has evolved since then. The first season of MMPR also had a lot of characters getting new powerups for no reason and random teleportation
Megaforce tries really hard to be like MMPR, the problem is that it's a new generation and era so it's history now.
And that's only the first EPISODE.
@@estebangutierrez160 An MMPR tribute isn't bad, and even then, MMPR got better by the time of Green with Evil.
I wouldn't say to this extent though because back in those early seasons they kind of held back on the number of Zords they had.
To be fair on MMPR that was the first time they did this not counting the failed Bioman pilot.
In defense of the show, the reason future teams such as SPD and Time Force are there are most likely because they both traveled back in time to before MegaForce where Gosei to see them. For RPM it could be because the red RPM ranger traveled to the dimension and he left an imprint on the morphing grid where Gosei could see it and the other RPM rangers, of course that is just a theory.
Or the Morphin Grid decided to bring them there.
I don't know anything about Power Rangers but wouldn't it be easier just that this morphing grid thing be a multi-dimensional entity
@@plantainsame2049isn’t an entity, a biological energy field that exists everywhere, so it would likely just bring them itself because it’s impartial and can only be good or evil when used for such, the rangers are just the only ones to use the grid for the most part
They could have also brought back Tommy as the teacher, that might be cliche and fans might get annoyed after seeing him already a teacher in Dino Thunder, but it would have been cool to see an old ranger come back to teach this new team
For some reason Megaforce was the first series that really hit me with how it was used to sell toys. The morphers with the cards specifically.
I remember when this was uploaded originally, and I remember enjoying watching it. Shame you still have so many issues keeping these episodes up in spite of following the guidelines. Thank you for keeping this labour of love going.
I really do hope that coming Power Rangers series are more interesting than Megaforce was. Low bar, but as the last couple of years have shown one really can’t take things for granted.
Now that Hasbro owns Power Rangers, odds are they’re already looking at History of Power Rangers and making plans to threaten UA-cam into keeping the episodes up. If there’s one thing Hasbro appreciates, it’s when the fans do stuff like this
@@NoahDaArkUnless it's a certain UA-camr who shall not be named when talking about a cartoon starring talking ponies (And fan animations unrelated to the actual show)
I remember watching some episodes of Megaforce on Nickalodeon a long time ago.
And when Gosei gave the team a new Zord or power up, I thought it was awesome.
Then they did the same thing the following week, and my reaction was: "Wait, didn't you already give them a new Zord last episode?"
“It’s a dream by this kid, Troy.” Ah, the first Ranger actor that couldn’t act his way out of a paper bag.
IMHO anyway.
Oh you give him too much credit, Troy's actor couldn't act his way INTO a paper bag
To be fair he was also given literally complete shit to work with 😂
It's not his or any of the cast members' fault, though. It's the writing of their respective characters.
@Kimberly Tini Noble true
@Kimberly Tini Noble Did they really? Huh.
3:35
Yeah. I'm glad Nick's idiocy is not a factor anymore.
Seriously, whoever came up with that stupid rule REALLY should not be in charge of anything
Megaforce should have been a straight up sequel to MMPR. Like, should've take place in Angel Grove, the headquarters should've been just the original Power Chamber rebuilt, make the mentor, I dunno, Alpha? Andros? Hailey? There's a lot of people who could've taken that role. Make Ernie Ernie's descendant. Not really sure about the villains, but maybe something like, the alliance of evil has been able to rebuild itself after all this time and is ready for revenge. Master Vile can be leading it, I don't think they ever took care of him. The second batch of enemies could be a new Machine Empire, and if they're still gunning for a Gokaiger merger, one of their members could be Divatox's son/fanboy/sucessor (it will also be a perfect way to show how far Power Rangers has come, from having their villain be poorly dubbed to actually having the actor himself show up for the american footage). It helps that Goseiger is partially based off of _Zyuranger and Dairanger! What the_ hell _are you doing Saban?!_
I still maintain they should have called the series "Extreme Mega Force".
Why? Because EXTREME!!!
Then the next season would be Super Extreme Mega Force!
And the season after that, Ultra Super Extreme Mega Force!
@@MarvelandDC379 lol
Putting Super or Extreme in front of the title, doesn't add anything to the show.
Previous seasons never had that. Mighty Morphin never had that, Turbo never had that, In Space never had that.
It just feels really phoned in, as though they're pandering to kids.
Thankfully Hasbro hasn't gone that route.
@@nine_tails137 It's just a joke that Linkara made about how the title "Super Mega Force" sounds stupid.
Thinking about they could've called the zords, Spirit Zords made from the spirit of the earth and a connection to Wild Force but that's an idea 9 years after the fact
It could've been a call back to Jungle Fury too.
So to the question of "what will outlast humans", Troy answers... humans.
...
I don't think he heard the question right.
He's a terminator.
hes the representation of failing school power rangers deserves
Mr Burley: ...that's not what I asked Troy
Okay that is hilarious, but the question was what species will outlive all others. So Troy did actually heard the question and didn't answer wrong.
Edit.
I feel dirty defending Megaforce.
@@jacoblim3804 You're right. I misheard (or misremembered) the question, but let's be fair: you just *know* he would've answered the same.
Here’s another way to handle the location name. Have Megaforce be set in Stone Canyon.
*steals for my readption of Goseiger*
Thanks for the reupload.
I know is disheartening to have this series been chop and censored more to keep up with the UA-cam law to evade copyright strikes. So the most sincere thanks again. Hope that you have a nice one and keep it safe
The original ernie had an impact on the rangers cause there was times he indirectly helped them. He was a character to remember . This Ernie really didn't make sense.
To add to Linkara's list of PR invasions
Or that guy who was basically Jekyll and Hyde and wanted to return to planet to dinosaur times
Also to add. Or when Gosei's mentor's arch enemy witch reawakened and attempted to take over the world. Or when that witch's boss and later husband decided to take over, or when her dad decided to do something about them failing, or when the Machine Empire decided to try to invade Earth and kicked the previous guys out. Or when an irritating incompetent Pirate decided to take over the world for some reason.
They really should have saved bringing back bulk for megaforce they could have even kept spike and just have bulk teaching him the way of the power ranger instead of the samurai and yes use that him running ernies idea. It all in all would have been a more fitting use of the character.
In my head cannon, Gosei is the "The Watcher" of the Power Rangers universe. Hence the statues and knowledge of other series from alternative worlds and times.
So he is us basically. (Since we are The Watcher). So why do we keep giving them powerups for doing nothing lmaao
At least The Watcher actually gets involved with threats sometimes, while Gosei does nothing but give them Power Ups.
The location of the command centre has the strongest connection to the morphing grid on the planet, so the Ranger Powers stored there with the Ranger Keys will never diminish over time.
That’s just something I thought of that could be added to Linkara’s idea of it being a storage location for the Ranger Keys and why that specific location was chosen.
Ok, not going to reuse the same comment from the original video so I'll just give my two cents comparing this to Beast Morphers. While Beast Morphers isn't as grand as In Space it at least shows that Hasbro cares enough to put actual effort into the writing of the show and at least when it uses nostalgic imagery and callbacks to previous seasons theres's actual narrative purpose to that unlike Megafarce which just brings up old Rangers to say a few things, give no passing the torch moments and when the show isn't doing that its dragging Goseiger and Gokaiger though the dirt. But yeah after 4 sessions of the Neo Saban era drunkenly stumbling about it's good to see Power Rangers start to get back on track and hopefully Dino Fury will keep that momentum going. Oh and also Hasbro FINALLY STOPPED WITH THE CONSTANT FART JOKES!!! Had to get that off my chest, anyway may the Power protect us all.
(SPOILERS FOR BEAST MORPHERS!)
The biggest proof that Hasbro has more respect for Power Rangers then the Neo-Saban era had has to be with the reveal that Evox is Venjix. When Beast Morphers started I joking theorized that the two were related, but then I moved into my own place and wasn’t able to keep watching the series. So imagine my surprise when just last month I learned about that big twist… and my jaw hit the floor!
Hasbro took one look at RPM’s twist ending and embraced the JonTron meme by saying “I can make this work!” And they did, and it was awesome!
@@NoahDaArk
Not to everyone tho.
How is it every time I find myself rewatching a random HOPR, Linkara always posts a HOPR video (whether new or a re-upload) and here I am, diving into the whole series again.
And as far as Mega Force.....god, what a classic fuck up of a series
It really is sad how the two sentai counterparts are both like a fun adventure, but the American adaptation is as engaging as watching paint dry.
"I still say Overdrive is worst because it would often get purely unbearable to watch..."
I think I see why you consider Overdrive more terrible than Megaforce, and not just unbearable to watch. The pacing, the story, the characters, etc. Despite Megaforce being a failure, the characters are not idiots, especially the blue ranger, despite being annoying af when they say, "Never give up" and "Never surrender" you were at least convinced and shown they aren't going to give up, while the Overdrive gave up once they lose their powers even though they still have civilian powers. Vrak was more interesting than both Megaforce and Overdrive's villains. No Kalishplosions too make it boring. etc.
There's homage and then there's "20th anniversary... cha ching!"
Who the heck would want to claim Megaforce?
Seeing as he cut the music at the beginning of the episode.. could he bandai as it was more than 6 seconds or the music company or anyone else ever using that music..
or disney or hasbro or saban.. the possibilties to screw a youtuber over are as endless as the ocean..
UA-cam? Universal? Disney? Amazon?
I joke... Even they wouldn't be stupid enough... minus UA-cam. xD
@@Elyanley I don’t think Hasbro was behind it, mostly because their mentality when it comes to fan content is “let the fans have their fun, and if they do something epic give them their own freaking Transformer character!”
... The symbology as i see it with the Megaforce Morphers goes something like this: To stop being their own inadequet selves they choose/get chosen a generic/artificial self to become (the cards), who are then literally consumed by the face representing the conflict (The morphers).
Linkara "That other invasion of demons from a netherworld that wanted to merge our world with theirs"
Mr "I didn't know Power Ranger had a cross over with Mortal Kombat!
I am so sorry you have to keep reuploading these. Can't wait for Beast Morphers. IT'S AWESOME!!! Hope Dino Fury lives up to it.
24:41 sentai stuff like that makes its way into pr all the time too it comes with using footage that includes text. It’s more a fun observation and kids aren’t going to notice it.
Well, with Beast Morphers done, without spoiling it for you, I personally think the Hasbro era is off to a good start so far. Not sure what to think of Dino Fury yet, but I'm waiting for the episodes to be posted online since Nickelodeon is INSISTENT on airing new episodes early in the frickin' morning. Up yours, Nickelodeon! Up yours! Anyway, yes, I agree that Megaforce was a mess, but the two main causes of said mess are Nickelodeon for their STUPID contract restrictions and Jonathan Tzachor for adding Sentai exclusive suits with little to no explanation. I enjoyed the finale for what it was, but I DO think there should've been more than that. If the Armada's air forces weren't destroyed early, we could've seen some past Megazords fight them while some of the other past Rangers (along with the Megaforce team) dealt with the ground assault. That would've at least made the battle itself a bit more better, don't you think?
Why on Earth is it _this_ season that keeps getting claimed? Is it really worth being that protective of it, Toei/Hasbro?
I think it’s less them being protective and more Hasbro being like “We inherited THIS? Expunge it from the internet we don’t want this filth!”
If I was Hasbro I would be thinking did we have to be reminded of these 2 seasons? Sheesh.
Highly unlikely that people might see this and respond to this but hey ho? I was going to do a kind of rewrite of Mega Force and as Linkara points out there are so many new power-ups that get introduced for no somewhat justifiable reason or they get introduced too early. So I was thinking that every 4 episodes a new Zord or a new power gets introduced and that coincides with a character focus episode. Thoughts?
That depends on how many episodes you plan to write and if you plan you introduce all the zords. My best advice is kick out a lot of zord power ups, most are unnecessary. And then every four episodes works out 👍
@soda1496 thanks for the replay. For the additional powers, I was thinking of keeping the sea, sky, and land brothers, Ultra Gosei great Mega Zord, mostly because it is important to me that a team has some sort of Ultra Zord and needs to brother zords for that. Robo knight zords and mega zord. Defiantly cutting the stupid jet Mega Zord and gosei Ultimate and I was thinking about 30 to 40 eps to fit everything in
You know that the fans care more about the show than the show itself when we create ideas and concepts (that are always awesome) and the show, gives us nothing
I’m still waiting for a season set in Stone Canyon!
The funniest thing about MegaForce is that I actually liked both Vrak and Vekar. Vrak was the competent rival to the Rangers, and Vekar was, well, just comic relief. I would have liked to see both together onscreen to better show the (Probably toxic) family dynamic, especially since Warz Gill and Brajira just so happen to look like they're from the same species so it would even look right, but Sentai footage says no.
How many times Lewis had to re-upload this series... Copyright balls no doubt.
Which is why I maintain they should adapt shattered grid because that story was really awesome and badass and did the power rangers justice way more then this season
It would cost too much
@@doggosho3044 true but i have a loophole why not make a animated series that way it won't cost to much and you could pull it off amazingly and boom problem solved everybody wins.
That’s would take a ton of money
@@Deity_devil true
I think they should of pulled a zeo when they transitioned from the goseiger to the gokaiger suits by having them loose the goseiger powers and have some random event happen where they get the new morphers and powers. In an episode near the end of the first season they even have their morphers damaged which would of been perfect for that scenario to happen.
I personally do not mind when the Japanese lettering and signage makes its way into the North American show.
Every time Jason made his power crystal for the megazord. He would pull his power coin out of a morpher that did not say Power Rangers on it.
It said "zyuranger" on the top and "kyōryū sentai" on the bottom...
To me they are all fun little shout outs
I have a lot of issues with this season. Like I dislike how the villains are just "let's take this planet" as if this is the first time we've been here. Wouldn't it have been more interesting if the villains this time were targeting Earth? Like say, they were a faction allied with the United Alliance of Evil, Dark Specter, or just members of Zedd's old empire and sought out Earth for revenge. Maybe the enemy is after this planet's link to the Morphing Grid so they can access the same power that has defeated their like so often before. Or maybe these guys are space conquers who stumble upon Earth not realizing THIS is the planet of legend! The planet protected by the Power Rangers... so they must call for reinforcements from their true leader (cue foreshadow for Super Megaforce)
Come to think of it, Goseiger still could have been a very good adaptation for the anniversary. Given the motiff they could have said that these powers were another backup plan by Zordon and then save the grand concept from Gokaiger for later
*13:37* hey imagine a transformer power ranger crossover and they explain the morphing grid is the all spark but the all spark is a holder slash avatar of the morphing gridd
The sentai is based on Angels The Mentor that gives those powers is a pupil of Zordon. The cast are teenagers.
If there was ever a time to go back to Angel Grove this was it.
So, the back of the command center this season, is storage for the headers. I didn’t notice that even when I was binging megaforce.
Y'know, if they really wanted to do an anniversary season, why not one about why Earth and humans are so dang important. Seriously, one planet has dozens of teams, hundreds of zords, and countless Macguffins of Ultimate Power: The Energems, the Corona Auroroa, the Zeo Crystal.
Maybe reveal that Earth is the one point in the universe where the Morphin Grid can be easily accessed and that's why so much stuff is drawn here.
I feel bad for you that you had to reupload this. And yes this season was awful
I see that this is being reuploaded so cool. Though... a part of me still thinks this: "It is so awkward to be 2 days older than the first episode of Power Rangers' premier! 😓"
Uh-ohhhhhh it's that time again where we get the ReReRe-Upload.
now that I FINALLY catch up to this series, I can watch them when they upload on this channel... and the first one that appears is Megaforce... lol
This video might get deleted again but screw it.
Compressing a 50 episode show into a 20 episode one could be done, though I wonder if there's a rule in the contract stating that PR must adapt most if not all powerups and zords from sentai (plus who would pass the opportunity to sell more merchandise if the design already exists?)
Summer movie toys are usually skipped, which is baffling why PR adapted that pointless train episode when it's only used once in Megaforce anyways.
This is a more super megaforce thing, but (assuming they use minimal sentai footage) 20 episodes is not enough to make tribute episodes to all PR seasons prior to Megaforce without being rushed (and that doesn't even count dedicating episodes for the main plot itself)
Never been this early for linkara video
@@maurabewsmoviecorner6911 Those are indeed words...
In Hs, I would wake up at 6:30 am, get to school by 8, have sports practice until 6 pm, then I’d have 6-8 hours of homework a night. EIGHT. HOURS.
So I only ever got 4-6 hours of sleep per night.
Yeah, I would absolutely never describe myself as energetic.
Huh Not what I had in mind for a Late Night Double Feature Power Rangers Edition but I’ll take it!
3:28 Mr. Wordsworth is one of the greatest characters ever, and he appears in one twenty-four-minute (including credits) episode, so if an episode of TV can do that then twenty episodes of TV can develop five characters. now comparing Power Rangers to The Twilight Zone is a false equivalate but my point still stands that you can tell good stories in twenty episodes, what type of genre/show/demographic that is your show is/has doesn't matter in this regard because you can tell good stories regardless of genre/type of show/demographic.
Megaforce is somehow both incredibly cheap and stupidly wasteful
Well I'm not surprised that another hopr had to be reuploaded. Why does this keep happening though?
Gosei:There's a simple explanation for that!
Of course there is.
Most likely Saban doing copyright strikes. That or Hasbro
I've been rethinking Overdrive and Mega Force since I never saw them and only saw them through this retrospective and am I the only one who thinks those 2 seasons would work better if they were kids....I mean the Blue Ranger in Turbo was a kid.
Imagine a Power Rangers team that function like the Shazam family in the recent DC movies and comics....
I actually like some of the elements of Megaforce. The costumes are great. The card idea was kind of fun and new. The Zord being these totem heads was kind of cool, and I like that the Zords (and Rangers) have this “land, sea, sky,” theme rather than elements like previous Ranger teams had. Now the Rangers THEMSELVES could’ve been interesting . . .
I've just realised, the morphers have Gosie's face on them, which is fairly egotistical for a giant Tikki head that's in a wall, assuming that Gosie designed them?
Nah cause very egotistical of you Gosei to make the Morphers your face
Troy were on the rooftop and tried to hit a water bottle. Tommy Wiseau hit a water bottle on a rooftop. Oh, oh... Tommy Wiseau exists in the Power Rangers universe. Now it is confirmed. Troy needed to say: "I tried to hit her. I did NOT!" 🤣👍
Wow, 14 hours of ninja steel. Yay. I hope I don’t have to binge watch ninja steel ever again. It was a chore to sit through. Most of the fandom might agree with me. Although when they spread the fart jokes throughout the season and didn’t do them one episode after the other, I enjoyed it more than when they did it one episode after the other.
I gave up with too many sayings of Ninja Spin.
Marvel Comics superhero team: The Avengers, celebrated 50 years in 2013!
Got hit with another copyright claim and block, huh? You know, I've actually been doing MCU-related video series myself. I uploaded a video for Iron Man, and it was instantly blocked. I've gone and re-edited the video at least five times, and they still found something to block and claim. At this point, I might end up having more pictures than actual footage. They make it really hard to do stuff like this with all these harsh restrictions. Here's hoping this is the last you have to reupload: godspeed, Lewis.
Next thing you know videos with pictures are getting copyright blocked and youtube will still not just give a simple timestamp of where the copyright is
Thanks I was actually rewatching this and was missing the first episode !
Maybe there was a certain point in the future where Zordon could "see" said future, and he used that knowledge to plan ahead. (possibly due to that time warp he was trapped in.)
Not to play Giritina's advocate here, especially because Megaforce really isn't that good and it has a lot of problems with it, but:
10:19-10:54: Given Zordan as on earth for 10000 years he was probably keeping track of all the ancient enemies and the like of Earth, I wouldn't put it past him given all his extensive backup plans. So when it comes to things like the Demons, the Orgs, Lothor, the Master, those seeking the Corona Arora, Daishi, and the Nilock, he probably knew about the organizations or people that were specifically training to deal with them, thus Gosei wouldn't need to intervene in those battles unless the heroes lost. The only exceptions are Countdown to Destruction, Ransik, and Messaga, for the latter two they were relatively new threats that did not exist before Zordan's death, but Messaga was very localized and didn't branch out enough to be a threat to the whole world, Ranski was the same until the end when the Time Holes opened and then at that point Gosei should have awakened. He also defiantly should have helped during Countdown to Destruction given how big that invasion was.
18:38-18:47: To be fair, these guys are not the first Ranger Team to never change clothes, there have been other teams that each only seemed to have no other outfits. Now some have legitimate reasons, like how the Space Rangers, SPD, Mystic Force, Overdrive, or RPM all have uniforms they wear a lot when in the base and on duty, but they do have civilian clothes they do put on sometimes. The Time Force Team, while only having one outfit each it's kind of understandable given they came from the future and didn't bring much with them so they only have one set of clothes each. However, there are other teams where it doesn't really make much sense: Lightspeed Rescue, Wild Force, and half of the Lost Galaxy team. For Lightspeed and Wild Force they both have team jackets, but what they wear underneath the jackets can be anything they want, but both teams always wear the same outfits underneath the jackets. As for Lost Galaxy, while Kai, Damon, Kendrix, and Mike all have the excuse of wearing Terra Venture uniforms, Maya and Karon don't wear uniforms, and after Mike returns Leo stops wear his uniform for one civilian outfit that wears all the time, heck both Leo and Karon were still wearing those outfits in Legendary Battle at the end of Megaforce, it been 14 years and they haven't thought of changing them.
I've got a simple question. If they didn't want to set this in Angel Grove. Why not set it in Stone Canyon instead?
Im so upset at how bad this show is because the villains look so good and creepy
This reminds me, I still haven't finished Beast Morphers
Fun fact gosei isn't zordon's student it's just a weird shaoshifting idiot who likes to cause terrible deeds to the planet and I think the aliens just wanted to form a friendship connection and the mega rangers just attacked them causing war and in the final battle gosei mind controlled all the other rangers to make it look like the mega rangers are good
I think we already knew that.
@@InkAndPoet huh good I am not the only one who thinks they can't be the good guys
And now I gotta stay up and watch this
