Power Ranger Super Samurai Promo...

So yes the promo for the new season is out and in the 18th of February we will see Super Samurai... First the promo mentions a new evil awakening, he isn't new he appeared in the RPM crossover. Also they are using the Super modes from Shinkenger. One thing I am liking in this promo are the shots out the heroes out of suit fighting. This does remind me of Shinkenger, but with the way of how it is directed makes it feel a little different. The biggest thing though is the upcoming battlizer and eh. First I do like the helmet design, but my goodness the top gold part of it is way too big. Along with that the shoulders are huge! The rest of the suit is okay though and does give off a shogun like look. Also points for creativity, for having the gun weapon become an attachment to a rod like weapon. So overall this part of the season could be better, but that isn't saying much. I'm still expecting the same copy and paste scenes, but with some little differences along the way because of how they are using Decker and Dayu. I can't wait for the Bulk and Spike episode though I mean it took this long for them to actually have some real interaction with the team and not just bumping into each other. One more thing there is an pretty good error with the promo, when you hear Jayden say "victory is ours" I think that is the female shinkenred.

Power Rangers Super Samurai...

Well yes its almost time for the 2nd season of Samurai and for some reason they change the title. I guess it's supposed to promote the upcoming power ups, but its a dull and unoriginal title. We all know that this season will be all copy and paste like before, but there could be some good moments. First there is Akumaro of the series who is named Serrator. His plot point in the series of making Decker and Dayu into the monsters they are now was different from Shinkenger so he could bring some originality. I am also still hoping that Bulk and Spike get an episode because so far it's pointless to have them around.

The series is also getting close to the battlizer and I still don't like it and the belt looks like they stole it from a Kamen Rider that was never made. The belt has a red face on it as it reminds me of that kids game show, Legends of The Hidden Temple. Actually I like the belt, but it's odd to see a ranger with a belt just like how Buster Red will be on a motorcycle. Now even with the Super mode still around and the Shark mode even though it's not a shark! This addition will probably come late in the series and will be used heavily then, that is what I predict. Another quick question will the female red ranger be able to use this power?

Will she have a different role in Samurai? (PLEASE!!!!)

Power Rangers Samurai Special Reivew: Battle of the Reds

Well I know I said I wouldnt do as many Samurai reviews, but this episode is somewhat different from the original Shinkenger series, so lets see if I can get through this. The episode starts off with showing us a fight between a new villian in RPM's dimension, Professor Cog fighting Scott in the RPM Ultrazord. They have a duel as Scott seems to get the hit, but Cog fakes him out as he takes down the zord as he laughs saying he will never be defeated. Scott says he will follow him no matter what, as Cog says he will go to a different dimension (dont give yourself away). After the opening we see an empty subway with a train coming as Professor Cog steps out of it with his grunts (I guess trains can go between dimensions). Soon we cut to the Samurai rangers fighting off a new monster as he mostly beats them up until he runs out of water. Cog was watching in the background as he sees how to get to Master Xandred. We see the monster back in the ship where..... Akomaru what is he doing there?! Well Cog soon enters into the Sanzu River as he makes a deal with Xandred to destory the rangers so he can get the water from the river to kill off his planet. Next we see Ranger Red step out of the same train (maybe letting him know where you go wasnt that smart Cog).

Well after the fight the rangers go for some treats as a car almost falls on them (so close). The team soon find that robots are attacking construction workers. They have some issues though because their swords seem to be weak facing robots since "they are armor." Soon Ranger Red helps out our hero as Scott acts a little differently than he usually does with this fight (blame the use of the original footage). Well Scott mostly does the rest of the work as he finishes off the grunts. The team talk to him wondering who he is as he says his name, but Jayden wants to see his face. Scott says there are some issues with that though as the three guys are not trusting him. Jayden asks a question that I have as well of how Scott got here from another dimension, but Emily and Mia says he can talk later as they take him to their dojo. When entering in the dojo Scott still doesnt seem to act like himself as he wonders how they live here without tv and video games. Scott soons start to talk about him wanting to take down Cog because he is trying to find out how to kill off his world. He also reveals that he cannot de-morph because he doesnt feel safe breathing the air in this world because of his life in a dome city. The team soon start to feel bad about him then as Mike is still doubtful.

Xandred helps Cog with his plan by giving him a monster to command. He even has one ranger in his sights as we see Antonio well the back of him fishing as Grinders are ready to attack him. For some reason we cant see Antonio as he morphs and fights them off with..... Daigoyou when did he get that?! Well the team soon find out about a disturbance going on as Scott takes Mentor's bike to help Antonio. At first he thinks it was Jayden in a different suit, but his brain kicks in quickly as he can tell it wasnt him. Scott easily takes down the Grinders easily as Cog shows himself. For some reason he even knows about Xandred as he will stop their plan. Everyone else comes in as Antonio still wonders who he is, but they just go into the fights. He takes down both reds with bullets as he uses an attack to send them to Scott's dimension, but the rest of the team block the hit as they are transported to another dimension. Oh yea I forgot to mention about Xandred's army he has been preparing where a monster named General Gut I think as he is ready to fight. Soon Cog starts to laugh because his bullets will make the two reds go after each other's throats. The two start to bicker at each other when they find out where Cog is as the two race to get there.

Jayden gets to the fight first as Scott starts to complain how this is his fight. Cog is happy to see his plan is working as the two reds fight each other. Soon they both get fatal blows on each other as Cog thinks he has won, but nope Scott and Jayden were already free from the poison from the bullets. Jii found the symbol power to do so as the two just came here to trick Cog. So wait you were already free from the poison and yet you still pretended to fight each other. You didnt even attack Cog in anyway so what was the point! Sorry there that is a pretty bad flaw there I must say, but oh well the two start to fight the troops in a car as they take the grunts out and knock the monster down. Cog gets in the fight though as Jayden gives him the Shark disc? I thought that was a dino not a shark. I'm sorry again, and Scott gets a power up from the disc as Jayden enters Super Mode..... nope I think you know what I'm going to say. The rest of team return somehow and they finish off cog and the monster. There is another fight though as they face a whole army of monsters. The team go on horses while Scott and Antonio take the car. Jayden goes straight to Gut, but he has some issues fighting him, until he uses the Shark disc to enter Shark mode. Soon Jayden and the other four take down the monster as they fight in the zords, but they have some issues because he uses a sneak attack on them. Scott and Antonio cant join because the car is broken.......... well the team use the Shark zord and oh yea the Mega Mode gets a new look with the Shark Mode and it looks a little better I must say. The team finish off Gut with Shark Samurai Megazord as they say goodbye to Scott as he goes back on the train to his dimension.

Well there are some flaws with this episode, but overall its a pretty good episode. The interaction between Scott and the Samurai team is pretty good as they feel sad for him. Scott didnt seem he was acting like himself, but I blame how they used the Shinkenger vs Go-onger footage. If this was just a person impersonating Scott its pretty good as it sounds like Scott at least. I did like how they actually thought of a reasonable reason why he couldnt de-morph it was actually sort of smart because he was outside at times, but hey give them some credit for trying. The dubbing was on and off as they are some good lines I liked. For example when Jayden was counting down the number of monsters he took down, with him going "Wait wasn't there four!" The acting seemed to be a little better than usual. No Bulk or Spike, but oh well they never do anything. I did hear there were some money issues and thats why they couldnt show Antonio as the character was voiced by someone else which also shows who voices Scott, but it could be a fake name. Just using the footage from two of the Shinkenger movies probably took a big chunk of the money so Saban had to cut some corners. The Shark zord isnt a shark first of all, it's a dinosaur! There is also the fact that we see Akomaru, Daigoyo, and the Super Mode, but the series never shown them so what the hell is up with that. Then there are some dumb moments where you will comment on, but in the end its a pretty good team up with one member of the team which is also disapointing. I will give it a C though because they did do something different for once even if they used episode 29 of Shinkenger somewhat and the two movies and combined them and it isnt a big mess thank goodness for that.

At least new fans of the show will know of RPM now. Also I will probably be watching that series again so get ready for a review in the next couple of months.

RPM Red Ranger in Samurai

Well the news is out and it seems that only the red ranger will be appearing in the crossover. Also guess what he is going to be stuck in his suit for the whole episode....... F$#%! I know this wasnt going to be a good episode, but at least get the original actor. I know its hard to get some, but if you cant get him dont make the episode its simple as that. They are also using the same monster from the Shinkenger and Go-onger team up so yea copy and paste is going to happen. I can tell I'm going to be pissed at the upcoming episode because high chance they are going to get a guy who sounds like Scott, but for fans we will know its not him. At least this can shine some light onto RPM because its a much better series than Samurai. Its funny that fans like Shinkenger more than Go-onger and for Power Rangers its the opposite, just like the moods for the series. Its so weird that all this switch around is happening for both Sentai and Rangers. Whats great though is what Henshin Grid says, 'Samurai sucks and made our favorite season RPM go down with it.' It seems very similar to what I said on my poll results. "I am mad about the Samurai and RPM crossover because Samurai is mostly unoriginal and now they are going to drag RPM with them." Maybe Lavender Ranger views the site, I kinda feel happy about that. Well I am still sticking to my opinion on this because RPM was great and now they are going to have something dirty up their image. Only one image can describe what has happened.

Yea pretty much sums it up

Power Ranger Samurai Episode 20 Review: Origins Part 2

Yea this will be the shortest review yet because just like the last origin its just a copy and paste episode. The team train together with their kanji, but Mike couldnt get it at first. Mike is then asking Kevin why he trains all the time as they spar for a while. Mia comes in and says she cant find Emily as they look for her. Spike comes to town now as Bulk welcomes him and I did like their scenes in this episode, as Bulk asks about how Skull is doing and he remembers his past events with the power rangers. He says that he will train Spike to learn the way of the Samurai as he mentioned the Samurai Rangers. Does this mean he already knows about them its possible. Well the group find Emily and regroup and are sent to a fight as they do fight the MOTW. Emily accidently messes up though as the Mia, Kevin, Mike, and herself block the monsters special attack. Another difference comes up when Jayden fights the monster to protect the girl, it was done in Shinkenger, but Takeru didnt mention it he just went into the fight. Jayden mentioned about the girl as he jumps into battle. The team then finish the monster off with the spin swords as they go into Mega Mode. Kevin tries the megazord at first, but like Shinkenger he ust made the four of them pile on each other. Jayden gets the real thing formed as they kill the monster. So yea another pointless copy and paste episode and why didnt they show this first?! If an origin isnt shown for the first episodes when they are shown it mostly reveals a mystery, but this doesnt do anything! At least Bulk and Spike were good in this episode, but they cant save this episode, a D- The next time I do a review for this series is when they do something different, so dont expect a lot of reviews.



Power Ranger Samurai Episode 19 Review: The Origin Part One

I need to say this I dont think I can do reviews like this because of the copy and pasting the series does in every episode. The only time I will do another episode review for Samurai is when there is a good episode or an episode that does a big change. I will do the origins though, but they will be short. Well the episode starts with a narrative like Shinkenger as Moogers attack a child and Jayden comes in to stop them, just like Shinkenger... Well at least Jayden is different from Takeru, at first Jayden doesnt think he is ready to be a leader unlike Takeru because he wanted to fight alone. Soon we meet the other teammates and the only thing that changed is with Kevin and swimming because Kabuki isnt really respected in America. The team are summoned by the arrows that I think teleport for some reason... weird. Well they fight the monster and they fight the giant form with the zords separatly. In the end the team do their Samurai Forever thing and that ends this episode. So thats the first origin episode, WHY ARE THEY SHOWING THIS NOW! Its something different, but there is no point for this, we already know that the powers were passed down so we already know how they were picked. No Bulk and Spike I think there is a chance I missed it though. Also the dubbing here is probably the worst as we see the fight scene from the preview footage and wow it is bad. Mooger Salad, yea thats supposed to be a joke. This is where the no stab is really bad because they edit around and it looks sooooooooooooooo choppy! The mega mode fight is just cut and copy proving they are just only for toy sales. I really hate this episode because there is barely anything different, its completely pointless, and the dubbing makes me want to hurt someone! The worst part is it really feels like the first episode meaning they skipped it for some reason because Jayden is wooden like he was before, at least Mike is still good. This episode wouldnt be as bad if they shown this episode first, but it still would have been crap. So with that this episode gets an F+ and I bet part two could get a similar grade if its like this episode. I forgot what ticks me off more is there is no proof of what happened to some of the past rangers they just say they were defeated. I know they werent killed because for some reason this show wont show death, but you know whats really odd Nick has Avatar the Last Airbender and that was a serious show for kids that did show death so why cant this series? I say blame Saban!



Power Ranger Samurai Episode 18 Review: The Duel

Well sadly Power Ranger Samurai did go back to their copy and paste, but it isnt as bad as other episodes. Well first we see the scene where Dayu runs off again as we see that Decker wants no one to touch Jayden. He fights off moogers and original footage see Saban it isnt that hard. The team regroup as Mia talks about the dream she saw and said she hesitated during the fight because Dayu was human. The group then talk about how they need to deal with Decker. Kevin who is actually not that bad at acting in this episode doesnt want Jayden to fight because a Samurai doesnt fight just for the fight. Jayden then says that Decker threaten citizens so it isnt a pointless fight as Decker needs to be taken care of. The rhino monster is given another chance to fight as well as he is going to eat people outside of their dreams. Decker meets up with Dayu as he says that the battle he is waiting for is coming and he will be free if we wins or loses. Before Jayden leaves for his fight the rhino monster appears as Kevin is given Jayden's discs as he leaves for his battle. The team fight off the monster while Jayden fights Decker. Kevin finishes him off with the arrow attack and then finished off with the Samurai Strike with the mechas. Oh and why couldn't gold fight, Antonio said he was to weak by that he was tired (yea this makes me like him (Sarcasm)). Jayden beats Decker by letting him stab him and then finishing him off. Decker falls off the cliff, but he actually vanishes! The team help him up as they eat and talk about their duties.

I know this was a quick reivew, but what do you expect its a copy and paste episode. If you saw Shinkenger you know what happens in this one then. Other then that though this episode is ok, there were good original moments with fight scenes and the editing is well done at times as it is hard to tell which is the original footage at times. The episode also cut down on the puns and felt more of a serious episode. They even show a stab for the first time I mean really it took this long! Also if they didn't want stabs use your own footage you did it in this episode! Also Decker vanishes does this mean he is actually dead? In Shinkenger Juuzo comes back, but will this happen in Samurai now. I think so because when a new villian shows up I bet Decker will be back because he was saved or revived by the new villian. Mia and Emily are still bad at acting, but Kevin was shocking good in this episode I think he is better at acting when he is angry. He was still on or off at times, but he was on more than usual. With an cut and copy episode that used different footage and having an actor getting better I give it a C. Next week is the origin, yippe.....



Power Ranger Samurai Broken Dreams Review

Its time for Samurai.... ugh. Well the episode starts off with the team training as Jayden still thinks about what Decker said about how both of them are dark. Mia soon comes, but leaves because she has to cook because Anotonio has been doing a lot lately. At the Sanzu River Xandred is mad at Dayu because she didnt finish off Decker. She talks back because of her past and says to destory her if she is so useless. Xandred though sets her sitar on fire as it is damaged and she goes outside to find a way to fix it. Xandred then sends the rinho monster. Dayu finds a man with a guitar and tries to kidnap him so he could fix the sitar, Mia was there though as the two fight. The monster shows up though and tries to put the two to asleep, but not before putting other people including Bulk and Spike to sleep. The others come before he could knock the two out as Dayu runs. Mia chases her and Emily tries to follow. Antonio jumps in soon, but is sent to sleep (just like Shinkenger). The monster escapes through the sleeping Antonio though and catches up with Dayu and Mia as they fall asleep from his attack.

Similar, but now with annoying dream puns

The team find out the only way to fight the monster is to enter the dream world as Jayden opens it as Kevin and Mike enter. There they see Bulk as a samurai and the monster as they fight him in the dream world. At first he had the lead, but the others find out that they can break physics as well and chase him out of the dream world, there he escapes. Back to Mia she dreams of being a great cook, but she enters Dayu's dream as we see Decker holding a woman as the couple looked married. We see that the woman is Dayu as the two give each other gifts a sword (odd gift I must say) and a guitar. During their honeymoon their house goes into flames as she gets Decker out, but it seems he wont make it. There a new villian is seen who is the American Akumaro as he makes a deal with her to have both of them turn into monsters so he could live. She exepcts, but he tricks her as Decker loses his memories and she leaves with the decision she has made as she changes into a monster (Saban actually did something original!). Before the monster fled his dream thing was destoryed as everyone wakes up as Antonio and Jayden fight the giant moogers (I really hate that name) with the lion and lobster zords. It was an odd fight because they edit around with the scene which made it look very weird hey at least its original. Mia and Dayu wake up as Mia actually wants to help Dayu turn back into a human, but she attacks Mia as Emily jumps in and takes the hit and Dayu leaves. With Jayden and Antonio they are tired, but Decker appears as Jayden looks he is ready to fight.



So thats Broken Dreams and this was actually a good episode if not great. First this episode actually used more original footage and did some good editing with it expect the zord fight. There is still some copy moments, but thats only with the villians expect for Dayu and Decker's past. With that, that scene is the best of the series no doubt. First its completely different from Shinkenger, its still pretty dark, Dayu's actress is good, it shows a new villian, and it gives a new view on Dayu who in Shinkenger was a jealous woman who wanted a man, while in Samurai is a woman who must deal with the decision that has changed her life as she loses her husband he isnt dead, but he will never remember her. Now I can already see that Decker and Dayu will probably live in this series, but the reason is well done and I actually like this Dayu more now. Sure she acts the same as the original Dayu, that one big difference is similar, but different still. There were still some bad puns though, the zord fight was a mess, and some of the acting is still bad. With that this episode gets a B+ I will actually continue to watch this series as well thanks to that scene way to go Saban you could be actually saving this show.

I actually cant wait to see what they do with him now.



Power Ranger Samurai Origin Episodes

Well the two episodes we have been waiting for is coming near the end of October, personally I dont care because they will be cut and paste like the other episodes. I still dont get why they are doing this now, there is no point to it. First we already have the sixth ranger and the first big battle with Jayden and Decker is going to happen soon. So why have the origin after that it will be confusing to kids and boring because we already know the team. There will also be no Antonio so that will make it even more boring. Also there is something I dont get I saw episode descriptions that they say Samurai Finale? They will be at the episodes with the dream monster from Shinkenger which could also show Dayu's dark past or Saban will have to change that or not mention it at all. Is this really the finale though because that makes no sense. Maybe they just mean season finale, but why even call it a finale? The story will not be over with Decker just gone, in Shinkenger he came back so high chance they will do the same with Decker, and the series havent even shown the battlizer and other mechas. I am probably right with the season finale, but still whats the point of calling it a finale?! Also there will be special episodes that are just flashbacks and I think it will be two episodes of that, thats more boring then showing the origin late! So overall I could be done with the series by if I watch the boring flashback episodes and just watch Shinkenger again because repeating that series is similar to Samurai, but better!

Shinkenger an amazing series

Power Rangers Team Up Samurai and RPM

Yea I'm not kidding somehow Saban is crossovering to a disney series, hey disney did it so why not. First I want to say something, Go-onger was a light hearted series that was funny, the adaption was dark and still had humor, but it was a post-apocalyptic theme so yea completely different than Go-onger. Shinkenger was more of a darker series than Go-onger, but it also had good humor and really enjoyable cast for both heroes and villians, the adaption is a rip off of Shinkenger yet its trying to be a light hearted series. So get it Go-onger was light hearted RPM was dark, but Shinkenger was dark and Samurai is light hearted its funny that two completely opposite sentai team up, but its switched now for Power Rangers. RPM is the dark series while Samurai is trying to be funny. Well this is real and will come sometime this year after two flashback episodes... great....

The Clash of the Red Rangers - a crossover special where the Samurai Rangers team with the mysterious RPM Rangers Red fend off the dual threat from Master Xandred's Mooger army and robotic super-villain from the RPM Ranger's dimension. When something goes awry, the two Red Rangers turn on one another and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

Now the episode says that only the Red Ranger will come well thats interesting it actually sounds original, but..... it isnt. The plot is copying the Shinkenger and Go-onger team up so... F%#$! It was soooooo close to being original! Now we know they wont use the footage from the movie because it looks completely different from the series footage so they will probably copy the scene, but shoot it themselves. So will the others be coming in this and will it be a two parter? We have to wait for this unoriginal episode sometime this year and I can wait!



My Memories of Power Rangers

Recently someone has mentioned if I cover on Power Rangers because of it is a live action series. I do, but I wanted to focus on the originals also I got some personal issues with it. First I will do Samurai reviews, but if I get too mad from watching them I will stop and just do a series review. Now I remember power rangers as a kid with MMPR which was my childhood I still love it now, but that is mostly for season 1 and 2, season 3 was ok. Sure it was corny, but that was the 90's and kids show were like that and that show did great with it and even did good story arcs. Another thing I love MMPR is the original ideas it had because it was different from Zyuranger and sure they used similar plots for some episodes, but some were original. Next was Zeo and it was ok it wasnt close to MMPR, but it was still above average. Turbo was next and wow I remember liking some episodes as a kid, but now I mostly hate it. There is Justin of course who almost killed the franchise and the whole cast change, but I think Turbo got better after the big change because it was time to finally move on. Still until the last episode the series was bad mostly with it trying to be dark, but relying on scenes from a comedic series.

He better not come back for another series

I was almost going to stop watching Power Rangers because I thought we could be stuck with Justin, but the ending made me wonder what the next series would be. So I stuck by Power Rangers as they went into space. I'm glad I stayed too because Space is still my favorite PR series. As a kid I loved how they looked back to some older series with Adam coming back and actually using his powers and with Zordon being kidnapped. They did have an episode where they met with Justin again and that was a good episode I have to say. There was that TMNT crossover which was dumb imo, but oh well it was only one episode. Space was a darker series too and it did that much better than Turbo. The series did start the Battlizers which can vary for me, but its not a big deal. The story was good with the enemy being related to the team in someway. It made for good writing and good twists for the series. My favorite part of the series was the ending though because you cannot forget it when you say it. I will spoil this sorry about that, but Zordon dies! The series took a big move with this showing its finally time to completely move on and do what sentai does with having new team memebers in each series. Also the episode showed some quick characters from other series and ended the Zordon era with a big bang!

Hail Zordon!

With this new move the franchise started the Lost Galaxy series and it was good, but it was trying to be like Space at times imo. It was another dark series and I respect that, but it was another space theme because Lost in Space reborned the series. As a kid I liked it, but now I'm on and off because the series wasnt all that original. It did take somethings from Gingaman like with their KuroKishi, but did somethings different like killing off a character! She just comes back though for some reason in the final episode, it was weird. Also from a sentai view now it seems odd that a sci-fi theme is going with a sentai that was about nature. Rescue Force for me was good as well mostly with their own sixth ranger, but kinda copied GoGoV. Time Force had a great cast and a great villian, but it suffered from copying Timeranger. Then came another series I disliked, Wild Force. Its shares the same problem with Time Force, but a lot worse. First the red ranger did change, but it was bad change as Cole is one of my least fave red rangers. Also this is the first cut and copy pr series imo because it does mostly everything Gaoranger did! Ninja Storm didnt copy too much from Hurricanger, but big points were copied expect for their sixth ranger which I liked that change it was a good idea to have Cam become a ranger.

Why did you have to come back?!

Another great series saves the day though with Dino Thunder having mostly completely different villians, cast, and plot points. Dino Thunder brought back Tommy for one for go as a ranger of his own because he is just that awsome. I didnt like their sixth though it was similar to AbareKilller, but worse mostly with the character Trent, at least he had a good bond with the main villian. Now we get to the parts I hate the most about Power Rangers, the dork era. It first started with SPD and wow I hated this series the villian was good and having a rivalry with a hero was a great idea, but it suffers so much from other cast members. This is my least fave cast because they are cut and copy or they are changed to much. Also they were just annoying expect for Doggy he was fine, but Bridge........ yea skip that there will be too much rage then. SPD also had the worst team ups imo because they were implausable and boring like the whole series. Also barely any original ideas just copy the episodes it should be fine. This continued for a while as we had Mystic Force which had an ok cast, but it copies Magiranger, it was as bad as SPD though.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... Stay Away From Power Rangers

Now we are at the series that everybody hated, Operation Overdrive..... AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I mean wow even as a kid I hated this series back then when I was a kid the past two series still had some good moments imo because I didnt know about Sentai back then, but OO was just plain bad. I even hate it more because I love Boukenger its my favorite sentai series. It suffers from copy and paste and when it does somthing different its the worst move possible mostly with you know who being a robot! Even the team up was a fail because even with Adam we had Bridge! Also some other people I didnt really like at least Blue from NS and Yellow from DT were there I liked those two. The series even failed with the villians with replacing a good villian with two dumb ones and having everyone else be dumb as well. Even the other rangers were a pain in the ass, pink was boring, blue was a really bad actor, yellow was plain in the worst way possible, and black is.... well he wasnt the best at acting and he cannot compare to Bouken Black an ok character. The Silver was just bland as well nothing special about him, but nothing to get enraged about. Now with that fail of a series what was next.... oh yea.... Jungle Fury.... ANOTHER COPY AND PASTE SERIES!!!!!!!!!!! I mean what was going with the franchise were the writers dead or something so Disney just half assed it. I dont want to talk about Jungle Fury, please leave me with some happiness.

GO F*%& YOURSELF!

Next was Disney's last Power Ranger series and I was so happy because after those series I thought it was dead already. Now I did see Go-onger before so when I saw the beginning of RPM my jawed dropped! RPM was a really good series, it was original using a comedic series, but making it dark. Even with some annoying characters like Gem and Gemma they had some good moments and werent the worst characters ever, but Ziggy was close. Still this was a great improvement from what we have been seeing for the past years. Now there is Samurai (I know there was the MMPR remake, but I never saw it because I didnt want my inner child to die!) and we are back to Operation Overdrive NOOOOOOOOOOO! The worst part is that Saban got the franchise back and its this bad already. Sure there are two good characters Mike and Antonio and there is Jayden who is improving with his acting at least. Mostly though Samurai has no original ideas and you can see what I think from one of my first posts.

Thank you RPM

So I dont hate Power Rangers completely, but there are SOOOOO many series I hate and there is only five I really liked. The only sentai I had so much anger with so far is Goseiger and thats only one out of like 15 series I have saw. There are ok ones as well with PR, but the bad ones really stick out and it changes people's opinions a lot. Also there is the fact that I hate people just calling japanese live action series Power Rangers when they havent even seen it! So in the end I will always remember my childhood with Power Rangers and I will stick with it hoping for another original series.

I will always remember it

Power Ranger Samurai Promo

Well sadly its coming back and there still seems to be no original ideas and no appearance of the battlizer is yet to be shown. This is mostly promoting where Red will face Decker and it actually says that only one will survive. Of course they are using the Shinkenger footage, but they actually show him getting stabbed. If you say my thoughts on PRS they had issues with stabbing and NOW THEY SHOW IT! MAKE UP YOUR GOD DAMN MINDS! The promo ends with him getting stabbed and dropping the sword. We all know from Shinkenger and if you havent seen it yet, I say skip PRS and watch Shinkenger. Now in Shinkenger Takeru gets stabbed, but he lets go of his sword and gets the final blow on Juuzo so high chance that will happen in Samurai as Decker goes down the cliff. Then there is a high chance they will have him back like in Shinkenger and this means Akumaro american counter part will be coming soon. I do wonder how they will use him or they could not use him and just make him a MOTW and skip a lot of his scenes. Its possible, but this show is lazy and doesnt care so they will probably use him and copy him. I would be surprised though if they keep his love for wanting to see hell. Im still hoping for the Bulk and Spike episode which will be Samurai's Richard Brown.

Also with Power Rider being confirmed will we soon see the crossover episode with him and the Samurai team. I really want to see this because I am hoping they will have some originality because they will have to make the episode in the teams sight and not the new hero. Also seeing Kamen Rider in America would be nice they just have to make sure they dont ruin it like last time. They could be using Decade which was 2009 so its only a two year difference. Also there isnt confirmation its Decade still people just think that because of the Decade and Shinkenger it could be a different rider. It will have to be after Decade though. Another thing that bothers me is that Power Rider will probably be a logo name so the rider himself could have another name with Power Rider. So always keep open for any possibilties.

They can easily just copy this and it could still be good if they just need to get good actors. Double is a huge rider series that got a lot of fans and has a total of four movies. This sounds like a great idea to start the american riders again with a big one. Decade was big as well, but he had a lot of hate with him and imagine if they copy that series. If they do copy Decade I wonder if there will be an American Narutaki, lol.

Onore Saban!

Power Ranger Samurai Second Season?!

Saban why must you do this to fans, stop trying to make Samurai into MMPR! It seems that Samurai will have a 2nd season like MMPR did and it just makes me more worried than ever. First this happened with MMPR and it worked greatly because of a new villian and even Saban made their own monster for the series which was a big strong point. They couldnt use the stock footage at times though because they kept the original suits and didnt use the Dairanger suits and for some reason they didnt get the monsters from it so they had to do some really bad editing. With that though they did use their own footage which was nice to see that Saban could use it more and more. They even used the same mechas from Dairanger and the sixth ranger which worked greatly because they were somewhat similar to Zyuranger mechs even though one was originally green and not black. Also it was odd seeing a really big difference from having dinos turn into a great warrior to mythical creatures turn into a samurai. Still with some original ideas and original monsters MMPR still lived on, but how will Saban do this again with Shinkenger?

Zedd was awsome!

Now with the past seen could Saban do the same thing again? Could they just use monsters and the mechas from the next sentai series and just skip it? That will be very weird because first Samurai is well as a samurai motif how can they use footage from Goseiger with an angel motif? First the mechas have no similarity to Shinkenger's so how will that work out and how could they explain it in the series? Also the monsters vary from space invaders, pollution monsters, and machines neither of them can relate to the Gendou. Sure the Yamajuu can be used pretty easily, but there was always something with Ayakashi mostly all of them expect one had a tone of red on their body. So I think someone will notice something is different. Maybe they could use their own monsters again which did work out sometimes or they can finally use some monsters from Shinkenger that they skipped! This also could be the time that they use the Decade footage because I think the so called "Power Rider" will come after season one so that they can show who this new hero is and then show him with the team when he gets his final form. This could also mean a new villian could be introduced maybe Akumaro could be revealed in season two and become the new leader if they use the final battle footage early.

They better not skip it because there is a lot of potential for Saban here

If they do skip Goseiger what will happen to them? They will become like Dairanger and will never been seen in America, but what about GoseiKnight. Remember they used Kibaranger in MMPR season 2, but GoseiKnight could never fit in with Samurai because they're samurai and they already have a sixth ranger. I cant just cant believe that there is another season coming up because it just making me wonder what will happen to the series and Goseiger. Saban could do their own scenes again, but could they do the same for mecha fights and where will they get monsters from will they really use their own for a whole season? Either way I have a really bad feeling that season two will become a way to be nostaliga to MMPR and Samurai has been doing bad with that. I am hoping that Goseiger will still be used because Saban can easily use it.

My Thoughts on Power Rangers Samurai Right Now

I will get this out of the way now, I hate Power Rangers Samurai! This is my opinion right now and hopefully Saban can save this from being a bad comeback. I have many reasons why I hate this new series.

There is barely any original ideas with Samurai it's just a copy and paste series. The first episode was a copy of episode 3 of Shinkenger and it just continued doing that. Now there have been some differences like the wedding episode it had some, but it had the same plot. The episode with the missing toys was different than offering virgins, but Saban had to change that to make it more kid friendly, but that episode still had the same plot with Gold wanting to be like Blue, the methods were different though. Finally there is the second part of the sealed box which wasnt used during that episode so they used their own footage and they didnt even finish the monster off even with a new and original move. Overall though the series rips off Shinkenger completely with characters and episode plots.

There are so many episodes they have skipped and could have easily been used. I think this is for the reveal of the gold ranger so that they can get more toy sales. First we didnt get an origin episode, but will soon, which I see is pointless because the series already got to the sixth ranger and other mechas so why show the origin now? Also in episode 14 of Shinkenger there was RICHARD BROWN! I loved that episode of shinkenger it was funny and creative, but Samurai could easily have used it. I dont care if it wasnt changed that much or not, all they had to do is replace Richard with Bulk and Spike! It would have translated perfectly because Bulk and Spike would get a chance to fight with the rangers all that was needed is to do their own footage which they have done before so why not this time!

The dubbing is bad and i mean bad! I hate how hard they are trying to make this series feel like MMPR. The monsters are always a dumb idoit all the time while in Shinkenger they were serious villians. I hate how they translate the monsters and dub them with accents, even though they are monsters from JAPAN! How can a monster have a Western accent if he came from Japan! The show clearly stated that the monsters started in Japan so doesnt that mean they were born in Japan? This goes for the rangers at times too the voices dont match many times with the scene and the puns get annoying! Saban make this into a different series this isnt MMPR!

The editing is bad as well because for some reason Saban cant show a single stab attack! This was really bad in one episode where shinkengreen stabs the monster and throws him. In Samurai green just somehows gets to the monster like magic and flings him with the spear. The worst part you can clearly see that he had to stab him to fling him! Even in the episode with an original attack and not finishing the monster they used old footage for the mecha fight for that episode and they had some bad editing because they used it before!

Acting is getting better with three characters, but Kevin, Mia, and Emily are so bad! Emily sounds like she isnt trying while Mia and Kevin are trying to hard. At first Jayden was very wooden, but he has been getting better along the way. Mike was always good he started good and is still a good actor. Antonio is alright, but I think he is getting worse as the series continue.

Now here is when I get the most anger, the Mega Modes are UGLY!!!! This is some of the worst original desing in the whole power ranger franchise! The modes are mostly pointless because they are only used for mecha scenes, they just want toy sales to go up! Why couldnt they just use the original footage I mean you show the japanese symbols on the helmets and they use calligraphy to fight so whats wrong with the original mecha scenes! Sure this makes the talking easier to get through since its their own scenes, but its just pointless and I cant take anything seriously in those UGLY SUITS! Im just glad that Gold's look good and the big reason is that the helmet wasnt changed!

Overall, I hate this fail of a series, but its not worse than some others like Operation Overdrive and Turbo. I just hope Saban can do some original ideas and use some great potential episode plots still. What also pisses me off that they are starting their own fight footage because of the battlizer so I hope that the Bulk and Spike episode will happen soon. Also I wonder if they will use the Decade and Shinkenger footage?
