@Gameslayer 9000 dino charge was good in comparison to the other neo saban shows but compared to paste ranger seasons, I feel like it's not that great.
@Zachle Mentor Theri goal is to sell toys so, they might just attempt to do smth of substance, though finding actors who are willing to act for this show would be tough, it's not like the other "Tokusatsu," USA made TV series.
@@Raximus3000 yea and a show that's actually good might help sell toys. Kids are not dumb and if you give them something that's actually interesting then maybe they'll buy.
Silly ol’ me assumed we wouldn’t get much from the Christmas episode, so I edited this video before watching it. All I need to say about is, YES! Thank you Saban for sending us off the right way with the Sudarso Bros. moment I and many fans were begging for.
Speaking of Christmas, could you do a video talking about just all of the Christmas episodes? Including the Direct-to-Video special “Alpha’s Magical Christmas”.
I do want to point out that they were already filming some episodes of Beast Morphers when the Hasbro deal finalized, so we will likely still deal with the Neo-Saban Era in the first season.
Yeah despite some faults, it actually might've been one of, if not maybe THEY most solid NSt episode. Which is also really said and says so much about this series.
Ninja Steel more than any other season was the season of missed opportunities. Every time I saw them do something good, all I could think about was "With just a bit more effort this could have been great." It tainted everything good about it.
I dunno. I feel like although Dino Charge did plenty of good stuff comparatively, they were sitting on tons of untapped potential. They had several great things set up and then just missed the ball on executing on them. DInoCharge is great in the context of the NS era but could have been top tier with a few simple tweaks that would fix a lot.
I felt that it was a theme across all of the neo saban era (especially with Dino charge and ninja steel especially seeing how I really really don’t like Dino charge). It’s like the writers have all these ideas but don’t execute them cos of how the show is limited with constant mmpr pandering and nick jr style storytelling
@@GuillermoSmyser Dino Charge for me is the whole opposite to the whole Era. is not that they tried enough, is that they tried too much to the point they couldn't do everything they wanted (In recent comics Heckyl becoming the Talon Ranger is a proof of that).
Ninja Stel is somehow Worse than megaforce in that aspect. Megaforce is because it was lazy (seriously the finale of the generation didn't had MetaKnight and Orion fightning together just for a quick example). They could have been a complete copy of Gokaiger adapting everything form how it was, and it would have been better but when they tried to put effort, it was whe they should have taken the easy route (like how they adapted together 2 episodes together ust to justify why Green Ranger Noah was the one to build the canon) Ninja Steel somehow feels lazier because Ninninger was already episodic and only had some plot ideas (and i mean what i am saying, that was my first sentai). So they could have craft their own plot, or ignore the plot and focus on character relationships, but they didn't. (and they even forced us Victor and Monty who god knows they are at best repetitive and boring with too many fart jokes). The best example of the Ninja steel could have been better in a easy way? FOCUS ON THE PARENTS! like how we got on-screen at least oe parent of each ranger (as far as i know, i lost track After Dimensions in Danger), and that would have been interesting to see more. The arents appearing more with the rangers (wwith would be a nice way to adapt how family was a big theme in Nininger). especially with Foils likeMick being a parental figre, or even have Galanax being more interesting by have him see Brody as "the child he would have wanted to have". Or even Odius having the backstory of negletful parents. The fact that Brody's fathr appears just at the beginning of Super Ninja Steel and suddenly disappears is the best way to how wasted potential. Not even becoming a 2°mentor to the rangers, No. Nothing. he only (as far as i know) returns at the end to be brainwashed (and this would have bee more dramathic had they shown the parents brainwashed, all of them , to fight their kids)
At least ninninger had anniversary elements in it and had characters you remember and weren't just one off generals. What does ninja steel have in it to live up to the 25th anniversary tag. A team up with 10 past rangers against the ninninger movie monster and a dumb christmas episode. out of 44 episodes of ninja steel calvin was the only ranger i grown to like, everyone else i grown to hate. Ninninger had 3 episodes with past rangers in it, NinjaRed/Alien Red, HurricaneRed/Ninja Storm Red, MagiYellow/Mystic Force Yellow, and Shurikenger / Ninja Storm Samurai Green. Jiraiya did not need to be in ninja steel at all. he is a metal hero that was never adapted into power rangers. The episode he was in ninja steel doesn't add anything to ninja steel at all and you could easily skip it. Ninninger is not a great sentai but it had anniversary elements catered to power rangers for the 25th anniversary and they use nothing from those 3 episodes. I rather watch ninninger over ninja steel any day.
@@arkanamaster4961 Agreed. Ninninger i at least have some memorable moments with. sure it might me my bias because it was the first sentai season i watched, but ninninger was a "Just OKay" season. it wasn't THE best but it was enjoyable depsite its shortcomings. ALSO, Ninninger doens't have the REALLY contested recurring characters that Victor and Monty are. who for some (Like Linkara surprsingly enough) are enjoyable but for me? I prefer to watch megaforce any day over ninja steel because they are just that unbearable to me. It helps megaforce is just slightly better in latn american dub (first of all, troy shares voice actor with mordecai from regular show's latin american dub. so that at least makes him more enjoyable to begin but i digress). ALSO. Yeah Ninninger Had everything for Ninja Steel to be an amazing season/adaptation becasue unlike Gokaiger the bar wasn't that high up. yet somehow Neo Saban Power Rangers still found a way to muck that up. Is just that thanks to the fact Ninningr was just an okay season the dissapointment doesn't feel that big. also thanks to the "Dimensions in Danger" crossover (even if that is just a copy paste of Shattered Grid (although that's another topic on its own) i give them bonus points for at least coming up with an excuse of how tommy has all his powers and the fanservice despite how short it was), ANd the Sudarso brothers somehow being able to make the most of the last christmas special
@@ianr.navahuber2195 yeah megaforce isn't as bad on a rewatch compared to ninja steel. Megaforce at least kind of explained stuffed, not in a good away, but still explained stuff. They don't even explain how sarah made a hoverboard and why no one is freaking out or giving her awards. Boring season.
@@arkanamaster4961 the thing about sarah is at this point more of a case of continuity. why? Ninja steel takes place in the universe where all seasons are canon. so sarah would in theory be "mediocre" or "good but not enough to be famous" from that standard at least in comparison
The Picard facepalm meme is the perfect metaphor for this season. So many missed opportunities and wasted potential, that made people say GOOD THINGS ABOUT OVERDRIVE!!
I really, really, REALLY hope that the Hasbro era is as good as the Disney era was in my eyes, Disney had almost all my favorite pr seasons as a kid and was always my favorite of the current eras, I honestly really want the Hasbro era to blow the Disney era out of the water
Yep. They did the whole Ninja thing once, maybe twice throughout both seasons. But for the most part, not much separated their motif from any other High School based Ranger team.
Personally, I think that Power Rangers just went downhill after RPM ended. Some good things did happened here and there, but in comparison to older seasons, even Ninja Storm felt more like a Power Rangers season than most of what the neo saban era gave us. I'm currently sticking with Super Sentai and Kamen Rider, but I still hope that the new Beast Morphers will turn out to be good (I still don't like the name of the new season though. putting words from the show into the season's name just sounds lazy).
Azeez Bashir you’re go need this en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Sentai here your road map. it less hard if you start with what comes first so you know the tv topes. Have fun
1 thing I desperately want from the Hasbro seasons are what I’m calling “10 years later” episodes. Taking teams and showing us what they’ve been doing since their finales. How has Kira done with her singing Career. Did she inspired Levi Weston’s career have they sung together before. How are the wind and thunder ninja academies? Are Tori Shane Dustin Blake and Hunter the new masters? Do Jen and Wes take vacations in each others times. Does Tommy’s kid know about the Dino thunder rangers and do they come babysit. What are Nick Leanbow and Udonna doing? If I had my choice I’d take 45 min with each team but connect it to the most recent team somehow
Another, See The Peishwa School,How Is Casey Doing As The Mentor And Is Jarrod A Mentor Now.Are Theo And Lily Together As A Couple What are the Galaxy And Space Rangers Doing?What is Andros,Zhane And Karone Doing On Kale 35?Is Carter Stiil A Lightspeed Ranger At The Age of Fifty?. And Most Exciting,What Happened In The Rpm Dimension?Is Dr K A world Renowned Professor And Is Somehow Married to Ziggy? Also,what's happening in SPD,i.e It was Said That bridge is the red ranger,Sky is the Commander And Jack is Back In SPD(Also cruger is supreme commander) What's happening there.Also JJ Tommy's son is working There So what is he doing?
I would also agree that Saban's branding tactics did more to harm and hamper the creative abilities of the writers than the writers/producers themselves.
Neo Saban gave us 3 awful Red Rangers, the worse PR Fathers. Some of the worse main villains with Zandred probably being the shittiest. The worse legacy/crossover special, and the new overall worse Power Ranger of all time.
correct me if im wrong but i think neo-saban is the only era with a season in which the rangers actually have a plan to stop the main villain. probably one of the more underrated positives of samurai.
@@gengardiego9430 Couple of things. 1. Yes I guess, once its discovered that Nick is the Light hes supposed to lead the Mystic team victory. S.P.D. is a good reverse where instead Grumm has a plan and its done much better. Finally Zandred as mentioned before is so awful and was lucky to avoid the seal the first time. 2. The Shiba Clan Seal business is straight from the Sentai version so I'm not giving Samurai credit, adding to that they wasted the whole thing anyway by making Jayden terrible.
@@BlackChapters you make avalid point about the shiba plan. though to be fair just because it was in the sentai and reused in the american adaptation doesnt mean its automatically bad, especially if you havent seen the sentai so its technically a new twist. funny that you mention spd since in the episode where kruger gets fired, sky points out how commander birdie probably wants the rangers to attack grumm instead of waiting for him to attack first. i think a read somewhere that most of spd was translated straight from its sentai to which the producers said that the writers are paid to translate.
@@reesescott4070 I hope they don't repeat the Neo Saban era mistake of starting the seaon off by skipping the morphing sequence. or as i like to call it quick morphing.
Ninja Steel was the season that broke Power Rangers. It was so terrible that it was forgettable, and everyone seems to be apathetic about it. Ratings have hit a low. Personally, Nst was so bad that I don't even want to see PR continue at this point. It's become a straight up embarrassment over the past years.
@@Knightfall182 Hasbro is known to not tie their writers to a tree unlike Saban. Have a little faith. I didn't like Ninja Steel either, but I REFUSE to give up on Power Rangers in general.
Dino Charge is great but the problem is, all 10 couldn't morph together which I honestly hated. Other than that, Power Rangers Samurai was really good imo. Anyways, Dino Charge was perfect
I'm from Brazil (just like the actress who portrays Sarah !) and here, just a fun fact, Sheriff Skyfire is severely hated. Jiraya, the original japanese character, was surprisingly popular around here during the 80s, and Skyfire being a dumbed down version of that character, and having the same appearence but none of the original's identity, really rubbed people the wrong way
Beast Morphers is gonna be another Wild Force scenario, where it's technically a new company, but it's all the same people doing the show. It's gonna suck.
WillyToons yep especially since they announced that neo Saban writers and song writers r gonna return so yeah we got another season of this nightmare upon us.
can't we wait until the show ACTUALLY starts? I know you have your worries but you shouldn't jump the gun that fast. At least watch a few episodes of Beast Morphers before saying that it sucks. I'm just saying.
Dude, I would KILL for Beast Morphers to be anything near what Wild Force was. Even on their worst days (Kite) there was still a novel idea there. And if our new women in Yellow is anything like Taylor, pssh, SOLD!
This era does not deserve the name "NeoSaban" because its nothing like the old saban seasons. Hell even Mighty Morphin, 25 years after it aired is still better across the board than Megaforce or Ninja Steel.
I read somewhere that Judd Lynn wanted the tone to be similar to In Space. But either Nickolodeon or Saban forced it to have a light hearted tone.You can tell that the seeds have been planted but not allowed to grow. I generally belive Ninja Steel would have been good if it was the version that the writing team had envisioned. But are tied down by the demands of the network. I really hope Beast Morphers has actual story and character arcs. But it's still Nickolodeon and let's just subtlety isn't their strongsuit.
well there's bad news it's still going to be 22 episodes only and saban even there company is shutdown is working together with hasbro and the chances and changes will appear in 2022 when they finish with nickelodeon in 2021 so 19 and 20 will have normal and super seasons of beast morphers
I think it's more Saban (the one that wanted to milk nostalgia and force Bulk and Skull characters on us) than Nick (who hasn't been promoting PR that well from what I heard).
@brandon quinoes I am aware of the 'Super' season. @TheBleachj16 From what I read, he wanted it to have a similar feel to In Space. If he didn't say that than fine. @zjr08 I agree.
Actually Judd/Chip Lynn is responsible for the goofier elements of Power Rangers. The great seasons like In Space, Time Force, and Light Speed Rescue were more serious right? Judd/Chip Lynn didn't like that, but he was creatively reigned in to not add silly goofy scenes to those great seasons. How do I know this? Go watch Power Morphicon 2018 and he revealed on the panel that he thinks Power Rangers should always be what Ninja Steel was. THAT is HIS vision for Power Rangers......gross.
Sadly, the hiatus is on Nickelodeon's lap, not Hasbro. Nickelodeon's the one that airs the show and they're the ones who say when the show stops airing for a break. Most TV shows these days have breaks of AT LEAST 3 to 5 months/CW's The Flash & Arrow have this issue but they're just fine.
Oh, I agree with you. I hate the hiatuses as much as the next guy, but there's really nothing we can do about it. It's ultimately Nickelodeon who's to blame for the hiatus.
@@dantheman8103 there is one difference though. Hasbri bought up Saban Brands mainly for Power Rangers. Disney didnt. Even then' at least Disney decided to allow the show to be made competently. Imagine what it could be with a company that actually wants it.
I heard that his sentai counterpart also appeared in the Sentai Beaast Morphers will be based on, so hopefully he will make an appearance in the next season or the one after. Would be a fun and easy way to bring at least one character from Ninja Steel back.
Neo Saban was an all around disappointment aside from Dino Charge but just like I wanted that Dark Ranger I really wanted that Green Ranger Emma was awesome! Mick and Dane didn't do anything. That wasn't fair.
That end speech, really resonates with alot of us! But ypu know what they say: the winds of change are always uncertain. Beast Morphers may be phenominal, and be up there with some of the greatest seasnons, maybe it'll be like Dino (super)charge and be Okay or passable, maybe it'll be an absolute dumpster fire like Overdrive or (Super)Megaforce. All we have to do is wait, and speculate!
Alright, time for Hasbro to step in. The new era for the new generation, will they deliver? Let's hope because Beast Morphers looks good and as for someone who isn't a hardcore Rangers fan, I do want to see how Hasbro will handle this franchise. #PowerRangers
Augustus Freeman Maybe but it’s likely they’ll have more creative freedom with Hasbro than they did with Saban which is good and Judd Lynn is connected to this series from what I’ve heard and he’s been associated with some rather good Power Rangers series.
What if since Gobusters was a tribute to Power Rangers, Beast Morphers would be a tribute to Sentai. Think about it: main cast and some extras dancing at the end of every episode.
Besides Dino Charge, this era was nothing but disappointment. Megaforce was an awful anniversary season and Ninja Steel, while also a anniversary season, was just an awful season on it's own. Thank God it's over and we can accept the Hasbro era into our lives. Hopefully it's good.
They, technically, didn't bring Victor and Monty on the ship for the monsters' entertainment. They brought them to the ship to get humans to watch the show so they could brainwash them. Btw, I am so happy this era is finally ending.
Over the last nearly two years I’ve steadily gotten back into Power Rangers after dropping it over a decade ago (the last season I followed was Dino Thunder). I started with VHS tapes of MMPR episodes, the movies, and In Space as it aired. These videos are a big part of why I got back into the series and have provided me a good way of staying caught up while I go through the older seasons. Thanks a ton, man!
Can I say this: In Samurai we had the whole team w/o Antonio who got a super form and some got Shogun Mode (or at least used it) Megaforce had everyone get new suits. That's it. Dino Charge had Tyler a super mode. And everyone in the main team, even Ivan, used Dino Super Drive Saber. Ninja Steel didn't even give Preston, Hayley or Sarah the chainsaw or the blaster once. I assume Calvin is second in command in terms of how he gets the weapons if Brody is outside the pit.
The most I can say about the Neo Saban Era is that it coasted along, every Season. Saban was banking on Fan Nostalgia, with its first run of Power Rangers. Saban did just enough, to tick the boxes, so long time Fans could identify what they put out, as Power Rangers. It is sad what they did to the Franchise, because if they actually gave a damn, they could have come out with something truly spectacular, and you caught glimpses of that, here and there. Here is to hoping that Hasbro can right this ship.
The Neo Saban Era was problematic and confusing in some places but it was an Era that brought Power Rangers back into the spotlight of pop culture, it’s sure to be up there with the greats.
I only hope we don't get a bunch of unintelligible plotlines that will confuse anyone who HASN'T read the new Boom comics, like with this year's anniversary episode.
One thing that Saban Brands did so well with PR, is well, branding. They made it quite lucrative again, and now sold it to a bigger company that can unlock it's potential to the fullest. Problem is by doing it they seem to have taken away its soul that if feels quite shallow a lot of times. I hope that under Hasbro they will get that soul back but still make it a recognizable brand name.
personally i think the biggest issue with ninja steel and neo-saban in general is the fact that they stayed on the child-friendly side of this franchise and didnt really try to dive deeper than that. just look at lost galaxy. it was great in the 90s and is still great today.
With all due respect, but the Power Rangers franchise has always and will continue to be primarily for kids, therefore it will stay as child-friendly. I mean, if Power Rangers became for teens and adults, then kids under the age of 13 can never enjoy Power Rangers.
@Timinator6069 I mean He was in Ninninger already. They did a whole bunch of cameos from former red ninjas. There was an episode where NinjaRed (Red Alien Ranger) and Hurricane Red (Red Ninja Storm Ranger) showed up to train the Ninningers on how to do stuff. Then gave them special ninja power stars to use their skills.
The whole point of Akibaranger is to make fun of not just Super Sentai, but of _its fandom._ That's too novel a concept to be adapted, either the way it is or as something more serious.
Ninja Steel as a whole, at least in my opinion, was disappointing. Not bad like megaforce, but disappointing, and I was hoping this wasn't going to happen.....it does have some good elements here like the fantastic anniversary crossover and as u said Calvin and Hayley's relationship getting better, but everything else kinda falls on it's face and i did NOT like this series' finale. In the final fight for "Humanity" they could've just......oh i dunno.....have Victor and Monty inspire the people on the ship to fight, giving them a reason to actually you know.....exist in the show besides being a poor excuse for a Bulk and Skull knock off or, have that computer ninja, who i agree is the best supporting character by the way, talk everyone into fighting and have her say that they should be fighting just like the rangers, and am I the only one who thinks Madame Odius went out in the cheesiest way possible even by power rangers' standards? I was praying this season wouldn't be a disappointment but sadly.....it is.....Here's hope to the future that Beast Morphers and the Hasbros era will steer PR back in the right direction.
And thus, a new era shall begin... You know, you became my second favorite PR reviewer (I think you already know who #1 is) And I think you have done a terrific job on analyzing many themes from seasons that, I don't think I would have ever thought about... I am really proud to say, I expect new videos from you on Beast Morphers next year... Also, while I will always be cautiously optimistic with Hasbro, they have shown time and time again that they are capable of taking franchises and make them either unbelivably better or stupidly bad... Yeah, they are not perfect, but if Transformers and MLP has taught something to the world about Hasbro is that growing, taking risks, trying new things and always improve is their everyday status... I am not saying this as a Hasbro fanboy, I am not, but rather as a person who learned about their story, their incredible failings (which were many) and their always surprising triumphs (which are also many) I will keep myself cautiously optimistic, but I do believe Power Rangers as a franchise will be fine See you soon man, and always waiting for the next video...
More like #screwbrainlessBulkandSkull. I mean as annoying as they can be, you could tell they always had SOME intelligence to them, they just didn't always apply themselves properly and that's where the comedy for them works. Even SAMURAI understood that better.
@@anirudhviswanathan3986 Worst than that,not only is the 50th trophy not earned,I have serious doubts concerning the other 49. Monty has a history of helping Vincent cheat so who's to say any of those are legit.
Big Disney Brain: There is no right or wrong side in the argument between Calvin and Hailey Small Brained Linkara: they try to make it seem like Hailey is somewhat wrong but... No she isn’t.
My points on why ninja steel failed as a show 1. The red ranger being kept from earth FOR 10 YEARS NO PROBLEMS WHEN COMING BACK 2. The father being completely useless in super ninja steel 3. Giant red ranger ( in ninninger it made sense, here it doesn't ) 4. FUCKING VICTOR AND MONTY NEED I SAY MORE
I hated how they let us known in the special crossover episode tommy oliver has a son but did not tell us who the mother was what happened to tommy after dino thunder. would love to see more back story of tommy because hes the most favourite power ranger ever exist
I love your content. You have so much passion for all things Power Rangers. I remember when I was a kid it used to be the coolest thing to me. It's still something of a guilty pleasure for me to revisit when I find it on TV and listening to you talk about the show and it's characters with such enthusiasm makes for very entertaining videos.
So glad the neo saban era is done!! I look forward to watching Hasbro hopefully give this franchise the great characters & story its known for in it glory days
Honestly, this season had some of the better jokes in this season. Be it the lampshading by saying that maybe they should check out the quarry in that love arrow ep, and having them just doing donuts on their bike to hide their hideout being at the school
Yeah, I feel like the actors themselves were not having a good time. Hell, Chris Reid (aka Victor Vincent) generally does seem like a real nice person in real life.
I hated how they defeated the final big bad. That moment must always give a sense of relief to the viewer and satisfaction. This didn't do either. They just kind of blew her up and it was over. It reminded me of a lazy version of how dinothunder beat their boss except no sacrifice behind it.
Jungle Fury has been my least favorite finale so far. Probably cause of the whole writer's strike or whatever was going on at the time. For such a good season, the ending didn't live up to it, IMO.
The issue with jungle fury's ending is how anti climatic it was for them to use a giant glowing ball to defeat the thing. I would have preferred animal spirits doing it akin to wild force. I would have also liked if Jared weakening daishi was abit harder to do. He kind of just flew at him and bamn you're weak.
Tissan Young Honestly Jungle Fury’s finale was one of my favorite finale’s Power Rangers had, it satisfying ended all the plot lines, it had a pretty badass endgame fight and overall a great ending.
Brody is to bland, Preston is okay, Calvin is the better character, Hayley is the same as Calvin, Sarah isn't convince as a nerd, she looks more like the popular one, Levi is okay. Mick was so-so
I would love it if all of the people who watch your channel as well as yourself to work together and create our own two seasons of Power Rangers and we can go pitch it to Hasbro to air after Beast Morphers(I think that is what it is called) because I think if we all work together, we can have a masterpiece
@@1truecrazychris348 I think Kagaku Sentai Dynaman would be good source material. What interested me was how different each end goal was for the rangers. And I think operating with a children playground/center which would basically be the Boys and Girls Club, would be interesting too.
I keep forgetting that Ninja Steel is a thing. At least I hated Samurai and Megaforce, and couldn't wait for them to end. But with Ninja Steel, I keep forgetting that it hasn't ended yet.
When the finale aired, i had to check the info, i was THAT lost. It was so sudden, the stakes were so low. I actually asked out loud "wait, this is the finale?!"
The entirety of Ninja Steel, including its super season, is just garbage. Such a disappointment. Very underwhelming seasons. What looked awesome on paper was nothing short of a mess. Terrible writing in a lot of episodes, annoying cringeworthy characters in the form of Victor and Monty, and villains that honestly didn’t satisfy. I’m glad this era is over. But I’m hoping Hasbro doesn’t make the same mistakes.
Lesson learnt from the Neo Sabah era: Never return Saban originally created Power Rangers they sold it to Disney in 2003 and then bought it back in 2010 and then the second time round always fail
monty is the worst comic relief character ever put into the neo saban era. He did nothing but boast about himself and in the end HE GOT REWARDED FOR IT. THAT IS NOT HOW YOU DO THAT
I like overdrive way more than this season because they at least have good idea and they stand for it Ninja steel never at least commits it's ninja theme
I actually enjoyed the ninja steel series to a degree. the problems i had with the show was that it didn't really focus on developing characters and it had way to much filler especially around the last few episodes.
Hey man, I found your channel pretty recently and I've really been liking it so far. It's made me really wanna sit down and watch Power Rangers again, something I haven't done in YEARS, which also, unfortunately, means that I'm quite behind. (I mean, the only season that I've ever watched consistently was Megaforce, and I didn't even watch the whole season, nor Super Megaforce) So yeah, here's to hoping I can find a good season to start with! Best to ya.
Would love to see some “here’s how I’d have done it” with seasons: ones that just need a few tweaks or even ones that you feel should go start with clean slate.
i feel like mega force had potential not the storyline (the storyline was horrible) but the powers were amazing .The power to morph into every ranger team was amazing to me. If they tried to give the season a little bit of drama i would have loved it,but it is like the world reset every episode.
But Dimensions in Danger's villain was also movie exclusive... that was a waste of money; along with that, Ninja Steel kept hacking out A LOT of Ninninger footage and replacing it with new (worse) shots, so this production had to have been a more unessecarily expensive series... if they were content with all of that, I don't see a real reason why they didn't bother with Midoninger...
If you think the Ninja Steel forgot about Calvin a little much you should see Kiragi in Ninninger. It's like he was there litterally just so they'd have a yellow
20:34 ALSO put effort. BUT WHERE IT SHOULD BE PUT EFFORT. Megaforce's main problem is surprisingly enough for me not that they put effort. But that they put effrot where they shoudln't (like Justifying why the rangers were forced into Megaforce forms in vrak is Back, or why Green Ranger is the one creating the cannon in Grass is always greener or bluer; OR THE BEST EXAMPLE: THAT FIGHT IN THE WRATH. like, either go the easy route and keep sentai footage, or do new footage, DON'T HALF PUT EFFORT HALF HALF-ASS IT!)
@@anirudhviswanathan3986 the worst offender? In second to Last episode when they blast the rangers out of the Zords, YOU CAN SEE THE GOKAIGERS!!! They could have found a way to adspt ALL Non adapte sentaí suits, BUT THAT!? That is Just lazy
@@ianr.navahuber2195 That's not a Megaforce-exlusive problem; it happens a lot in Power Rangers (and even Saban's other Toku shows), from MMPR to Samurai... but Megaforce was weird with this one, as one shot had the Megaforce rangers while another shot had the Gokaigers... But seeing the Pre-Zyu teams, with no explanation, was stupid...
@@kobaltsteel6418 Megaforc emight not be the first one, bu was when the problem was even more clear (In wild force, sometimes, is gaoranger's red ranger in transformations BUT because he looked a little bit like Cole, they kept him in some shots so it wasn't that noticable). ALSO the "Adapting the Pre-Zyu teams" could have been handled like "this rangers died. Their powers lost, long ago, and this keys being "Back-Ups" OR "thy died against the armada". And if someone asked "Who created this back-ups?" it could have been said that "a Time Travelling Sentinel Knight using the Aurora Crown preserving the powers and the Morphing Grid connection contacted Zordon in the past and so Zordon recruited Gosei to be "a living back-up and protector of the legacy"". Which would have been a good explanation for "Why they have powers that were suppsoedly lost, like Dino Thunder", and it would explain why they have other universes Powers (after all, if tha auroroa crown is that powerful, going trhough universes and dimensions wouldn't be that difficult)
if i remember correctly...hasbro is more or less BIGGER than nick so if nick gets too touchy...hasbro can probably stomp nick and just walk off laughing
From good to very bad, this was still an era worth watching and worth learning from. I hope Beast Morphers is a sign of good things to come.
Even if I don't make very many videos on this channel anymore, I'm always up for a collab.
I'm ready whenever Disney Brain is.

The Neo-Saban era was really bad but Dino charge was actually pretty good
Agreed.
Dino Charge was the only good season of the Neo-Saban era

Theri goal is to sell toys so, they might just attempt to do smth of substance, though finding actors who are willing to act for this show would be tough, it's not like the other "Tokusatsu," USA made TV series.
@@Raximus3000 yea and a show that's actually good might help sell toys. Kids are not dumb and if you give them something that's actually interesting then maybe they'll buy.
Silly ol’ me assumed we wouldn’t get much from the Christmas episode, so I edited this video before watching it. All I need to say about is, YES! Thank you Saban for sending us off the right way with the Sudarso Bros. moment I and many fans were begging for.
It doesn't make up for the last 40 episodes being majorly disappointing, but it was a nice gesture.
Speaking of Christmas, could you do a video talking about just all of the Christmas episodes? Including the Direct-to-Video special “Alpha’s Magical Christmas”.
I do want to point out that they were already filming some episodes of Beast Morphers when the Hasbro deal finalized, so we will likely still deal with the Neo-Saban Era in the first season.
@@WilliamAmbervein no, filming for beast morphers started after the sale was finalized
Yeah despite some faults, it actually might've been one of, if not maybe THEY most solid NSt episode. Which is also really said and says so much about this series.
Ninja Steel more than any other season was the season of missed opportunities. Every time I saw them do something good, all I could think about was "With just a bit more effort this could have been great." It tainted everything good about it.
I dunno. I feel like although Dino Charge did plenty of good stuff comparatively, they were sitting on tons of untapped potential. They had several great things set up and then just missed the ball on executing on them. DInoCharge is great in the context of the NS era but could have been top tier with a few simple tweaks that would fix a lot.
I felt that it was a theme across all of the neo saban era (especially with Dino charge and ninja steel especially seeing how I really really don’t like Dino charge). It’s like the writers have all these ideas but don’t execute them cos of how the show is limited with constant mmpr pandering and nick jr style storytelling
The only good thing this season did was end
@@GuillermoSmyser Dino Charge for me is the whole opposite to the whole Era. is not that they tried enough, is that they tried too much to the point they couldn't do everything they wanted (In recent comics Heckyl becoming the Talon Ranger is a proof of that).
Ninja Stel is somehow Worse than megaforce in that aspect. Megaforce is because it was lazy (seriously the finale of the generation didn't had MetaKnight and Orion fightning together just for a quick example). They could have been a complete copy of Gokaiger adapting everything form how it was, and it would have been better but when they tried to put effort, it was whe they should have taken the easy route (like how they adapted together 2 episodes together ust to justify why Green Ranger Noah was the one to build the canon)
Ninja Steel somehow feels lazier because Ninninger was already episodic and only had some plot ideas (and i mean what i am saying, that was my first sentai). So they could have craft their own plot, or ignore the plot and focus on character relationships, but they didn't. (and they even forced us Victor and Monty who god knows they are at best repetitive and boring with too many fart jokes).
The best example of the Ninja steel could have been better in a easy way? FOCUS ON THE PARENTS! like how we got on-screen at least oe parent of each ranger (as far as i know, i lost track After Dimensions in Danger), and that would have been interesting to see more. The arents appearing more with the rangers (wwith would be a nice way to adapt how family was a big theme in Nininger). especially with Foils likeMick being a parental figre, or even have Galanax being more interesting by have him see Brody as "the child he would have wanted to have". Or even Odius having the backstory of negletful parents.
The fact that Brody's fathr appears just at the beginning of Super Ninja Steel and suddenly disappears is the best way to how wasted potential. Not even becoming a 2°mentor to the rangers, No. Nothing. he only (as far as i know) returns at the end to be brainwashed (and this would have bee more dramathic had they shown the parents brainwashed, all of them , to fight their kids)
There IS one good thing from the Neo-Saban era...
Dino Charge
Yup, agreed, also dimensions in danger
What about samurai or super samurai
Dino Charge was the Neo-Saban era’s peak but it could’ve done better with the dialogue and some plots to be honest
@@oscthespiderfan208 samurai series was terrible what you talking about ?
don't be so strict on the season its good and bad
1:05 "Almost every episode could be considered filler."
For once PR stayed true to the original Sentai season. XD
that just makes it sadder.
At least ninninger had anniversary elements in it and had characters you remember and weren't just one off generals. What does ninja steel have in it to live up to the 25th anniversary tag. A team up with 10 past rangers against the ninninger movie monster and a dumb christmas episode. out of 44 episodes of ninja steel calvin was the only ranger i grown to like, everyone else i grown to hate. Ninninger had 3 episodes with past rangers in it, NinjaRed/Alien Red, HurricaneRed/Ninja Storm Red, MagiYellow/Mystic Force Yellow, and Shurikenger
/ Ninja Storm Samurai Green. Jiraiya did not need to be in ninja steel at all. he is a metal hero that was never adapted into power rangers. The episode he was in ninja steel doesn't add anything to ninja steel at all and you could easily skip it. Ninninger is not a great sentai but it had anniversary elements catered to power rangers for the 25th anniversary and they use nothing from those 3 episodes. I rather watch ninninger over ninja steel any day.
@@arkanamaster4961 Agreed. Ninninger i at least have some memorable moments with. sure it might me my bias because it was the first sentai season i watched, but ninninger was a "Just OKay" season. it wasn't THE best but it was enjoyable depsite its shortcomings.
ALSO, Ninninger doens't have the REALLY contested recurring characters that Victor and Monty are. who for some (Like Linkara surprsingly enough) are enjoyable but for me? I prefer to watch megaforce any day over ninja steel because they are just that unbearable to me. It helps megaforce is just slightly better in latn american dub (first of all, troy shares voice actor with mordecai from regular show's latin american dub. so that at least makes him more enjoyable to begin but i digress).
ALSO. Yeah Ninninger Had everything for Ninja Steel to be an amazing season/adaptation becasue unlike Gokaiger the bar wasn't that high up. yet somehow Neo Saban Power Rangers still found a way to muck that up. Is just that thanks to the fact Ninningr was just an okay season the dissapointment doesn't feel that big. also thanks to the "Dimensions in Danger" crossover (even if that is just a copy paste of Shattered Grid (although that's another topic on its own) i give them bonus points for at least coming up with an excuse of how tommy has all his powers and the fanservice despite how short it was), ANd the Sudarso brothers somehow being able to make the most of the last christmas special
@@ianr.navahuber2195 yeah megaforce isn't as bad on a rewatch compared to ninja steel. Megaforce at least kind of explained stuffed, not in a good away, but still explained stuff. They don't even explain how sarah made a hoverboard and why no one is freaking out or giving her awards. Boring season.
@@arkanamaster4961 the thing about sarah is at this point more of a case of continuity. why? Ninja steel takes place in the universe where all seasons are canon. so sarah would in theory be "mediocre" or "good but not enough to be famous" from that standard at least in comparison
The Picard facepalm meme is the perfect metaphor for this season. So many missed opportunities and wasted potential, that made people say GOOD THINGS ABOUT OVERDRIVE!!

Yeah, me too
I don't know if we should call this Ninja Steel if there are barely any ninjas.
Well, Ninninger's bit was that"We are shinobi, but we don't hide!"
@@raito862 we hunt yokai
@@raito862 but at least they are actural ninjas
Yep. They did the whole Ninja thing once, maybe twice throughout both seasons. But for the most part, not much separated their motif from any other High School based Ranger team.
Ninja storm was better
Personally, I think that Power Rangers just went downhill after RPM ended. Some good things did happened here and there, but in comparison to older seasons, even Ninja Storm felt more like a Power Rangers season than most of what the neo saban era gave us. I'm currently sticking with Super Sentai and Kamen Rider, but I still hope that the new Beast Morphers will turn out to be good (I still don't like the name of the new season though. putting words from the show into the season's name just sounds lazy).
Can I ask what site you use to watch ss and Karmen rider
Pearce Elliott I actually found the site before I saw this comment and was already watching goakiger
Azeez Bashir have you watched Sentai jakq is the oldest sentai on the website
Pearce Elliott nope just starting
Azeez Bashir you’re go need this en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Sentai here your road map. it less hard if you start with what comes first so you know the tv topes. Have fun
1 thing I desperately want from the Hasbro seasons are what I’m calling “10 years later” episodes. Taking teams and showing us what they’ve been doing since their finales.
How has Kira done with her singing Career. Did she inspired Levi Weston’s career have they sung together before.
How are the wind and thunder ninja academies? Are Tori Shane Dustin Blake and Hunter the new masters?
Do Jen and Wes take vacations in each others times.
Does Tommy’s kid know about the Dino thunder rangers and do they come babysit.
What are Nick Leanbow and Udonna doing?
If I had my choice I’d take 45 min with each team but connect it to the most recent team somehow
They tried that at the end of beast morphers but It was just confusing
sadly we will never know what nick leanbow and udonna did as udonnas actor died
I mean Sentai already do that a lot so dunno maybe they just didn't want to
Another, See The Peishwa School,How Is Casey Doing As The Mentor And Is Jarrod A Mentor Now.Are Theo And Lily Together As A Couple
What are the Galaxy And Space Rangers Doing?What is Andros,Zhane And Karone Doing On Kale 35?Is Carter Stiil A Lightspeed Ranger At The Age of Fifty?.
And Most Exciting,What Happened In The Rpm Dimension?Is Dr K A world Renowned Professor And Is Somehow Married to Ziggy?

If Hasbro can work the same magic that revived My Little Pony on Power Rangers, we're all set!
Justin Riley TRUE
And do what they did for Transformers Prime
@Augustus Freeman But they're no longer under the influence of Saban.
Augustus Freeman Yeah but I trust this writer because he also wrote Time Force and the second half of RPM
I would also agree that Saban's branding tactics did more to harm and hamper the creative abilities of the writers than the writers/producers themselves.
Neo Saban gave us 3 awful Red Rangers, the worse PR Fathers. Some of the worse main villains with Zandred probably being the shittiest. The worse legacy/crossover special, and the new overall worse Power Ranger of all time.
It's sad when Vrak from MEGAFORCE is the most competent villain in the entire Neo Saban era.
@@anirudhviswanathan3986 Vrak was awesome
correct me if im wrong but i think neo-saban is the only era with a season in which the rangers actually have a plan to stop the main villain. probably one of the more underrated positives of samurai.
@@gengardiego9430 Couple of things.
1. Yes I guess, once its discovered that Nick is the Light hes supposed to lead the Mystic team victory. S.P.D. is a good reverse where instead Grumm has a plan and its done much better. Finally Zandred as mentioned before is so awful and was lucky to avoid the seal the first time.
2. The Shiba Clan Seal business is straight from the Sentai version so I'm not giving Samurai credit, adding to that they wasted the whole thing anyway by making Jayden terrible.
@@BlackChapters you make avalid point about the shiba plan. though to be fair just because it was in the sentai and reused in the american adaptation doesnt mean its automatically bad, especially if you havent seen the sentai so its technically a new twist. funny that you mention spd since in the episode where kruger gets fired, sky points out how commander birdie probably wants the rangers to attack grumm instead of waiting for him to attack first. i think a read somewhere that most of spd was translated straight from its sentai to which the producers said that the writers are paid to translate.
Goodbye and good riddance Neo Saban era.

@@reesescott4070 Yup.
Also, i am really hoping that both the Hasbro era and beast morphers are really good, fun to watch and memorable

Dino charge was the best thing of the Neo Saban Era
Ninja Steel was the season that broke Power Rangers. It was so terrible that it was forgettable, and everyone seems to be apathetic about it. Ratings have hit a low. Personally, Nst was so bad that I don't even want to see PR continue at this point. It's become a straight up embarrassment over the past years.
it's going to (hopefully) better hands, so there's hope
@@bigbangpegasusmaster Same writers and production team.
@@Knightfall182 Hasbro is known to not tie their writers to a tree unlike Saban. Have a little faith. I didn't like Ninja Steel either, but I REFUSE to give up on Power Rangers in general.

DarkusMaster
Ninja Steel broke it futher.
What I think was bad,
Samurai( both )
Megaforce(both)
Ninja steel (both).
Dino charge was actually going in the right directiom
The last great PR season was RPM, which came out 10 years ago, we got some questions for the Neo-Saban era.
Dino Charge is great but the problem is, all 10 couldn't morph together which I honestly hated. Other than that, Power Rangers Samurai was really good imo. Anyways, Dino Charge was perfect
I'm from Brazil (just like the actress who portrays Sarah !) and here, just a fun fact, Sheriff Skyfire is severely hated. Jiraya, the original japanese character, was surprisingly popular around here during the 80s, and Skyfire being a dumbed down version of that character, and having the same appearence but none of the original's identity, really rubbed people the wrong way
It's always darkest before the dawn, so let there finally be light.
Beast Morphers is gonna be another Wild Force scenario, where it's technically a new company, but it's all the same people doing the show. It's gonna suck.
WillyToons yep especially since they announced that neo Saban writers and song writers r gonna return so yeah we got another season of this nightmare upon us.
I wonder if there will FINALLY be a 2 team team up episode now that all anniversary stuff is out of the way.
can't we wait until the show ACTUALLY starts? I know you have your worries but you shouldn't jump the gun that fast. At least watch a few episodes of Beast Morphers before saying that it sucks. I'm just saying.
We're not gonna see changes until 2021/22
Dude, I would KILL for Beast Morphers to be anything near what Wild Force was. Even on their worst days (Kite) there was still a novel idea there. And if our new women in Yellow is anything like Taylor, pssh, SOLD!
Super Ninia Steel may have been improvement over Ninja Steel, but overall, also carries over its flaws.
Ninja Steel/Super Ninja Steel: not a good season but not a terrible season. Just more inconsistent than bad tbh
This era does not deserve the name "NeoSaban" because its nothing like the old saban seasons. Hell even Mighty Morphin, 25 years after it aired is still better across the board than Megaforce or Ninja Steel.
saban downfalltimeline.
I think that “Nickelodeon Saban” era would be a better name
Goodbye Neo-Saban era. You won’t be missed. Although I did enjoy Dino Charge. Everything else can be tossed into the trash where it belongs
I read somewhere that Judd Lynn wanted the tone to be similar to In Space. But either Nickolodeon or Saban forced it to have a light hearted tone.You can tell that the seeds have been planted but not allowed to grow.
I generally belive Ninja Steel would have been good if it was the version that the writing team had envisioned. But are tied down by the demands of the network.
I really hope Beast Morphers has actual story and character arcs. But it's still Nickolodeon and let's just subtlety isn't their strongsuit.
well there's bad news it's still going to be 22 episodes only and saban even there company is shutdown is working together with hasbro and the chances and changes will appear in 2022 when they finish with nickelodeon in 2021 so 19 and 20 will have normal and super seasons of beast morphers
He never said that. He just said Saban wanted to make sure there was comedy. He never said anything about it being In Space.
I think it's more Saban (the one that wanted to milk nostalgia and force Bulk and Skull characters on us) than Nick (who hasn't been promoting PR that well from what I heard).
@brandon quinoes I am aware of the 'Super' season.
@TheBleachj16 From what I read, he wanted it to have a similar feel to In Space. If he didn't say that than fine.
@zjr08 I agree.
Actually Judd/Chip Lynn is responsible for the goofier elements of Power Rangers. The great seasons like In Space, Time Force, and Light Speed Rescue were more serious right?
Judd/Chip Lynn didn't like that, but he was creatively reigned in to not add silly goofy scenes to those great seasons.
How do I know this? Go watch Power Morphicon 2018 and he revealed on the panel that he thinks Power Rangers should always be what Ninja Steel was. THAT is HIS vision for Power Rangers......gross.
Alright Hasbro if you want to correct the mistakes Saban made don't air eight episodes and then go on a five month hiatus until August.
Sadly, the hiatus is on Nickelodeon's lap, not Hasbro. Nickelodeon's the one that airs the show and they're the ones who say when the show stops airing for a break. Most TV shows these days have breaks of AT LEAST 3 to 5 months/CW's The Flash & Arrow have this issue but they're just fine.
@@ZeltraxMillennium I still think it's a problem.
Oh, I agree with you. I hate the hiatuses as much as the next guy, but there's really nothing we can do about it. It's ultimately Nickelodeon who's to blame for the hiatus.
@@ZeltraxMillennium I agree with you too.
Thanks for that. I've had to block a few people who were being assholes to me due to my opinions on the show & even the comics to an extent.
Neo-Saban is no more. The evil is defeated.
Kathryn Brown, Now we need to defeat Disney Star Wars era.
People said that when Disney sold the show back to Saban... "our savoir is here"... that worked out well didn't it?
@@dantheman8103 there is one difference though. Hasbri bought up Saban Brands mainly for Power Rangers. Disney didnt. Even then' at least Disney decided to allow the show to be made competently. Imagine what it could be with a company that actually wants it.

Wait why is neo-saban era over? I don't get it?
I’m just now noticing we met all the rangers parents except Calvin’s
I honestly really enjoyed Skyfire, he was just a cool character. Who knows, maybe they can give him the Lauren Shiba treatment in the comics.
I heard that his sentai counterpart also appeared in the Sentai Beaast Morphers will be based on, so hopefully he will make an appearance in the next season or the one after. Would be a fun and easy way to bring at least one character from Ninja Steel back.
@@dantheman8103 It was Gavan that was in Go-Busters, not Jiraya (Skyfire).
DanTheMan That was not Him. Its Gavan not Jiraya(Skyfire).
Neo Saban was an all around disappointment aside from Dino Charge but just like I wanted that Dark Ranger I really wanted that Green Ranger Emma was awesome! Mick and Dane didn't do anything. That wasn't fair.
Out of the Neo Saban era, dino charge was the best and I just watched super mega force for the fights and ranger transformations
That end speech, really resonates with alot of us! But ypu know what they say: the winds of change are always uncertain. Beast Morphers may be phenominal, and be up there with some of the greatest seasnons, maybe it'll be like Dino (super)charge and be Okay or passable, maybe it'll be an absolute dumpster fire like Overdrive or (Super)Megaforce. All we have to do is wait, and speculate!
Alright, time for Hasbro to step in. The new era for the new generation, will they deliver? Let's hope because Beast Morphers looks good and as for someone who isn't a hardcore Rangers fan, I do want to see how Hasbro will handle this franchise. #PowerRangers
@Augustus Freeman Yeah I heard but, new writers are going to be on board as well. We'll just have to see how this show will play out.
Augustus Freeman Maybe but it’s likely they’ll have more creative freedom with Hasbro than they did with Saban which is good and Judd Lynn is connected to this series from what I’ve heard and he’s been associated with some rather good Power Rangers series.
@@ryancarson6962 Well that's good. I don't know who the writers are but, I think Beast Morphers will be alright.
What if since Gobusters was a tribute to Power Rangers, Beast Morphers would be a tribute to Sentai. Think about it: main cast and some extras dancing at the end of every episode.
@@danialshamshuddin Hmm🤔 may be. But dancing at the end of every episode? Hehe, sounds funny.
Besides Dino Charge, this era was nothing but disappointment. Megaforce was an awful anniversary season and Ninja Steel, while also a anniversary season, was just an awful season on it's own.
Thank God it's over and we can accept the Hasbro era into our lives. Hopefully it's good.
Let’s be honest, ninja (super) steel is the ice age collision course of power rangers seasons
They, technically, didn't bring Victor and Monty on the ship for the monsters' entertainment. They brought them to the ship to get humans to watch the show so they could brainwash them.
Btw, I am so happy this era is finally ending.
Over the last nearly two years I’ve steadily gotten back into Power Rangers after dropping it over a decade ago (the last season I followed was Dino Thunder). I started with VHS tapes of MMPR episodes, the movies, and In Space as it aired. These videos are a big part of why I got back into the series and have provided me a good way of staying caught up while I go through the older seasons. Thanks a ton, man!
Can I say this:
In Samurai we had the whole team w/o Antonio who got a super form and some got Shogun Mode (or at least used it)
Megaforce had everyone get new suits. That's it.
Dino Charge had Tyler a super mode. And everyone in the main team, even Ivan, used Dino Super Drive Saber.
Ninja Steel didn't even give Preston, Hayley or Sarah the chainsaw or the blaster once. I assume Calvin is second in command in terms of how he gets the weapons if Brody is outside the pit.
Emma just could've been a female Cam from ninja storm
The most I can say about the Neo Saban Era is that it coasted along, every Season. Saban was banking on Fan Nostalgia, with its first run of Power Rangers. Saban did just enough, to tick the boxes, so long time Fans could identify what they put out, as Power Rangers. It is sad what they did to the Franchise, because if they actually gave a damn, they could have come out with something truly spectacular, and you caught glimpses of that, here and there. Here is to hoping that Hasbro can right this ship.
The Neo Saban Era was problematic and confusing in some places but it was an Era that brought Power Rangers back into the spotlight of pop culture, it’s sure to be up there with the greats.
I think you should be thanking Boom comics and great and powerful Lord Drakkon for that achievement instead of these has beens.
aliastheabnormal
Boom Comics did PR in 2016 when PR had already been brought back in 2011 by Samurai.
@@samuraifighterchick1456 I don't think being compared to Sonic the hedgehog is something to be proud of.
I only hope we don't get a bunch of unintelligible plotlines that will confuse anyone who HASN'T read the new Boom comics, like with this year's anniversary episode.
One thing that Saban Brands did so well with PR, is well, branding. They made it quite lucrative again, and now sold it to a bigger company that can unlock it's potential to the fullest. Problem is by doing it they seem to have taken away its soul that if feels quite shallow a lot of times. I hope that under Hasbro they will get that soul back but still make it a recognizable brand name.
I will never miss this season, not even the characters of this era.

@@caiolimacaldas yeah i got confused.
Neo Saba Era has been defeated, the worst and most nefarious villain of the Power Rangers has been defeat
personally i think the biggest issue with ninja steel and neo-saban in general is the fact that they stayed on the child-friendly side of this franchise and didnt really try to dive deeper than that. just look at lost galaxy. it was great in the 90s and is still great today.
With all due respect, but the Power Rangers franchise has always and will continue to be primarily for kids, therefore it will stay as child-friendly. I mean, if Power Rangers became for teens and adults, then kids under the age of 13 can never enjoy Power Rangers.
Something tells me that we should've adapted Akibaranger, but then I realized that the guys at Saban might screw it up.
@Timinator6069 I mean He was in Ninninger already. They did a whole bunch of cameos from former red ninjas. There was an episode where NinjaRed (Red Alien Ranger) and Hurricane Red (Red Ninja Storm Ranger) showed up to train the Ninningers on how to do stuff. Then gave them special ninja power stars to use their skills.
The whole point of Akibaranger is to make fun of not just Super Sentai, but of _its fandom._ That's too novel a concept to be adapted, either the way it is or as something more serious.
@Timinator6069 Three parter.
Ninja Steel as a whole, at least in my opinion, was disappointing. Not bad like megaforce, but disappointing, and I was hoping this wasn't going to happen.....it does have some good elements here like the fantastic anniversary crossover and as u said Calvin and Hayley's relationship getting better, but everything else kinda falls on it's face and i did NOT like this series' finale. In the final fight for "Humanity" they could've just......oh i dunno.....have Victor and Monty inspire the people on the ship to fight, giving them a reason to actually you know.....exist in the show besides being a poor excuse for a Bulk and Skull knock off or, have that computer ninja, who i agree is the best supporting character by the way, talk everyone into fighting and have her say that they should be fighting just like the rangers, and am I the only one who thinks Madame Odius went out in the cheesiest way possible even by power rangers' standards? I was praying this season wouldn't be a disappointment but sadly.....it is.....Here's hope to the future that Beast Morphers and the Hasbros era will steer PR back in the right direction.
And thus, a new era shall begin...
You know, you became my second favorite PR reviewer (I think you already know who #1 is) And I think you have done a terrific job on analyzing many themes from seasons that, I don't think I would have ever thought about... I am really proud to say, I expect new videos from you on Beast Morphers next year...
Also, while I will always be cautiously optimistic with Hasbro, they have shown time and time again that they are capable of taking franchises and make them either unbelivably better or stupidly bad... Yeah, they are not perfect, but if Transformers and MLP has taught something to the world about Hasbro is that growing, taking risks, trying new things and always improve is their everyday status...
I am not saying this as a Hasbro fanboy, I am not, but rather as a person who learned about their story, their incredible failings (which were many) and their always surprising triumphs (which are also many)
I will keep myself cautiously optimistic, but I do believe Power Rangers as a franchise will be fine
See you soon man, and always waiting for the next video...
I'm mad these final episodes feel the same way every season.

Small Brained Linkara: they try to make it seem like Hailey is somewhat wrong but... No she isn’t.
My points on why ninja steel failed as a show
1. The red ranger being kept from earth FOR 10 YEARS NO PROBLEMS WHEN COMING BACK
2. The father being completely useless in super ninja steel
3. Giant red ranger ( in ninninger it made sense, here it doesn't )
4. FUCKING VICTOR AND MONTY NEED I SAY MORE
And it ended far too late.
Goodbye samurai, mega force, you may not be good, but you were my childhood.
I hated how they let us known in the special crossover episode tommy oliver has a son but did not tell us who the mother was what happened to tommy after dino thunder. would love to see more back story of tommy because hes the most favourite power ranger ever exist
Lol i didn't even finish this season that how bad it was... dont feel like I've missed anything
Two, maybe three episodes here are worth at least one watch I'd say. But yeah, on the whole, you didn't miss much, lol
I love your content. You have so much passion for all things Power Rangers. I remember when I was a kid it used to be the coolest thing to me. It's still something of a guilty pleasure for me to revisit when I find it on TV and listening to you talk about the show and it's characters with such enthusiasm makes for very entertaining videos.
Can we all agree that galvanax is the most forgettable villain in power rangers history?
Dino Charge was sooo good they needed a new universe to make it!
So glad the neo saban era is done!! I look forward to watching Hasbro hopefully give this franchise the great characters & story its known for in it glory days
Goodbye, Neo-Saban Era. It was fun while it lasted. :)
👋😀😄🙂
Honestly, this season had some of the better jokes in this season. Be it the lampshading by saying that maybe they should check out the quarry in that love arrow ep, and having them just doing donuts on their bike to hide their hideout being at the school
And the one where Victor and Monty end up in South Africa after trying to sabotage a school play.
...the cast deserved better. period.
Yeah, I feel like the actors themselves were not having a good time. Hell, Chris Reid (aka Victor Vincent) generally does seem like a real nice person in real life.
I hated how they defeated the final big bad. That moment must always give a sense of relief to the viewer and satisfaction. This didn't do either. They just kind of blew her up and it was over. It reminded me of a lazy version of how dinothunder beat their boss except no sacrifice behind it.
Jungle Fury has been my least favorite finale so far. Probably cause of the whole writer's strike or whatever was going on at the time. For such a good season, the ending didn't live up to it, IMO.
BraveHeartedHero1 I didn’t enjoy Dino Super Charge finale. The rangers didn’t have a legit fight against Sledge.
Young, i think jungle fury's finale is one the best.
The issue with jungle fury's ending is how anti climatic it was for them to use a giant glowing ball to defeat the thing. I would have preferred animal spirits doing it akin to wild force. I would have also liked if Jared weakening daishi was abit harder to do. He kind of just flew at him and bamn you're weak.
Tissan Young Honestly Jungle Fury’s finale was one of my favorite finale’s Power Rangers had, it satisfying ended all the plot lines, it had a pretty badass endgame fight and overall a great ending.
Brody is to bland, Preston is okay, Calvin is the better character, Hayley is the same as Calvin, Sarah isn't convince as a nerd, she looks more like the popular one, Levi is okay. Mick was so-so
This series is over?! Thank goodness hopefully beast morphers gets it right...
I merely hope for better than what we've been getting, but I would be ecstatic if we got greatness.
I would love it if all of the people who watch your channel as well as yourself to work together and create our own two seasons of Power Rangers and we can go pitch it to Hasbro to air after Beast Morphers(I think that is what it is called) because I think if we all work together, we can have a masterpiece
That would be awsome
But what sentais should we pick
I say we go with one of the first fifteen sentai seasons
Two of the ones i would like the see are Uchu Sentai kyuranger & Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman
@@1truecrazychris348 I think Kagaku Sentai Dynaman would be good source material. What interested me was how different each end goal was for the rangers. And I think operating with a children playground/center which would basically be the Boys and Girls Club, would be interesting too.
Thank God it's finally over.
I saw a lot of potential in Emma too! Dang I wished we got more of her. Heard she be in Mulan though.
Awwww if only seasons were more like Time Force...
If I’m being honest, I watched this season because they have one of the most attractive team of rangers I’ve ever seen 🤷🏾♂️
Who is it?
I keep forgetting that Ninja Steel is a thing. At least I hated Samurai and Megaforce, and couldn't wait for them to end. But with Ninja Steel, I keep forgetting that it hasn't ended yet.
When the finale aired, i had to check the info, i was THAT lost. It was so sudden, the stakes were so low. I actually asked out loud "wait, this is the finale?!"
God damn, it is painful to see the difference in production values, cinematography and lighting between RPM and Ninja Steel
The entirety of Ninja Steel, including its super season, is just garbage. Such a disappointment. Very underwhelming seasons. What looked awesome on paper was nothing short of a mess. Terrible writing in a lot of episodes, annoying cringeworthy characters in the form of Victor and Monty, and villains that honestly didn’t satisfy. I’m glad this era is over. But I’m hoping Hasbro doesn’t make the same mistakes.
Lesson learnt from the Neo Sabah era:
Never return
Saban originally created Power Rangers they sold it to Disney in 2003 and then bought it back in 2010 and then the second time round always fail
I’m glad to see that I wasn’t the only one wondering “what would happen if Power rangers went to Netflix”
monty is the worst comic relief character ever put into the neo saban era. He did nothing but boast about himself and in the end HE GOT REWARDED FOR IT. THAT IS NOT HOW YOU DO THAT
What could have made Ninja Steel better for me? KILLING OFF VICTOR AND MONTY!!!
I like overdrive way more than this season because they at least have good idea and they stand for it
Ninja steel never at least commits it's ninja theme
Finally the lightspeed rescue review is coming and for the first time I'm going to hear someone say something good about this season.
Calvin was my favorite character
I actually enjoyed the ninja steel series to a degree. the problems i had with the show was that it didn't really focus on developing characters and it had way to much filler especially around the last few episodes.
Hey man, I found your channel pretty recently and I've really been liking it so far. It's made me really wanna sit down and watch Power Rangers again, something I haven't done in YEARS, which also, unfortunately, means that I'm quite behind. (I mean, the only season that I've ever watched consistently was Megaforce, and I didn't even watch the whole season, nor Super Megaforce)
So yeah, here's to hoping I can find a good season to start with! Best to ya.
Would love to see some “here’s how I’d have done it” with seasons: ones that just need a few tweaks or even ones that you feel should go start with clean slate.
This era went out with a bang.
finally the great disaster era has finally ended maybe we will finally get a REAL power rangers show again
i feel like mega force had potential not the storyline (the storyline was horrible) but the powers were amazing .The power to morph into every ranger team was amazing to me. If they tried to give the season a little bit of drama i would have loved it,but it is like the world reset every episode.
You know things are bad when suddenly overdrive doesn’t seem so bad...
The female green ranger was all in 15 minutes. They only used her for the movie. 'Ninja boys vs Ninja Girls'
Super Ninja Steel > Super Megaforce
Midoninger(Green) was movie exclusive so they would have had to pay more
But Dimensions in Danger's villain was also movie exclusive... that was a waste of money; along with that, Ninja Steel kept hacking out A LOT of Ninninger footage and replacing it with new (worse) shots, so this production had to have been a more unessecarily expensive series... if they were content with all of that, I don't see a real reason why they didn't bother with Midoninger...
If you think the Ninja Steel forgot about Calvin a little much you should see Kiragi in Ninninger. It's like he was there litterally just so they'd have a yellow
20:34 ALSO put effort. BUT WHERE IT SHOULD BE PUT EFFORT. Megaforce's main problem is surprisingly enough for me not that they put effort. But that they put effrot where they shoudln't (like Justifying why the rangers were forced into Megaforce forms in vrak is Back, or why Green Ranger is the one creating the cannon in Grass is always greener or bluer; OR THE BEST EXAMPLE: THAT FIGHT IN THE WRATH. like, either go the easy route and keep sentai footage, or do new footage, DON'T HALF PUT EFFORT HALF HALF-ASS IT!)
Also, editing out Sentai only rangers in SOME SCENES and letting them go through in SEVERAL OTHERS WITH ZERO EXPLANATION!!!
@@anirudhviswanathan3986 the worst offender? In second to Last episode when they blast the rangers out of the Zords, YOU CAN SEE THE GOKAIGERS!!!
They could have found a way to adspt ALL Non adapte sentaí suits, BUT THAT!? That is Just lazy
@@ianr.navahuber2195 That's not a Megaforce-exlusive problem; it happens a lot in Power Rangers (and even Saban's other Toku shows), from MMPR to Samurai... but Megaforce was weird with this one, as one shot had the Megaforce rangers while another shot had the Gokaigers...
But seeing the Pre-Zyu teams, with no explanation, was stupid...
@@kobaltsteel6418 Megaforc emight not be the first one, bu was when the problem was even more clear (In wild force, sometimes, is gaoranger's red ranger in transformations BUT because he looked a little bit like Cole, they kept him in some shots so it wasn't that noticable).
ALSO the "Adapting the Pre-Zyu teams" could have been handled like "this rangers died. Their powers lost, long ago, and this keys being "Back-Ups" OR "thy died against the armada".
And if someone asked "Who created this back-ups?" it could have been said that "a Time Travelling Sentinel Knight using the Aurora Crown preserving the powers and the Morphing Grid connection contacted Zordon in the past and so Zordon recruited Gosei to be "a living back-up and protector of the legacy"". Which would have been a good explanation for "Why they have powers that were suppsoedly lost, like Dino Thunder", and it would explain why they have other universes Powers (after all, if tha auroroa crown is that powerful, going trhough universes and dimensions wouldn't be that difficult)
if i remember correctly...hasbro is more or less BIGGER than nick so if nick gets too touchy...hasbro can probably stomp nick and just walk off laughing
... if so, why didn't they renegotiate for a better contract or just cut the contract and leave? That's questionable on Hasbro's part...
