    Also I should catch up on Garo. I didn't watch very far into the first season of that series.

    If you're watching RPM, keep in mind that it's source material skewed more along the comedic then dramatic side of it's type of series. Unlike Turbo though which had the same thing to deal with, RPM's adaptation was apparently handled more competently in the eyes of the fans.

    Its a super dark series from a really goofy one and I love it

    RPM is great, and Ziggy is the best and Doctor K is also the best and Flynn is Scottish.

    The ONE big slight against RPM for me is that I hate the 6th and 7th rangers, and those are supposed to be a highlight of the season

    but I hated both the characters and the suits so

    Its still great though, but a good 6th ranger pulls a lot of weight

    Power Rangers RPM: Post Apocalyptic rangers

    Power Rangers Samurai: Newer series with really slick visuals and good writing, Bulk returns as a side character

    Around the time of Zeo, Saban planned to make a Bulk and Skull comedy spinoff show, where they would run a hotel (Jason Narvy has said that he thinks it was "their grandmothers' hotel"). A Mexican Elvis impersonator was going to be a supporting character. Narvy claims that the video release The Good, The Bad, and the Stupid was put out as a "test market" and when "no one out there bought it", Saban cancelled the plans.[10]

    this is emblematic of a couple things that started happening later

    The "core" team was often 3 rangers, not five, with the last two not showing up until at least a few eps into the season

    And also like a fucking ridiculous number of megazord configurations

    Like 6 or more per season

    Guys, it's not Cyber Squad, it's Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad. They all start with S you see (also the show was totally awful, except for Tim Curry)

    Just watched the first two RPM episodes. It was pretty good! But it's a bit distracting how much the lead character looks and sounds like Tom Welling.

    Isn't the entire series a Power Ranger Elseworlds story?

    The toys were dope and it had tim curry, which is all that really mattered when I was 13.

    also I love how the bad guys are arguing over what themes to go with for the next monster.

    This is just great.

    So is it teams of 5 now, then, instead of six?

    I've actually never seen BeetleBorgs

    I liked VR Troopers a lot but don't remember anything about it now

    And I used to occasionally catch Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad before school, but years later when I tried bringing it up to friends nobody believed such a thing ever existed

    You know, it's a shame that Go-Busters is looking to be either cannibalized for extra footage or worse flat out ignored for Dino Charge because this could have been a good series to bring here as part of Power Rangers. Especially for those who enjoyed RPM as it also involves a rogue AI and has some dark tones to it. It had some nice Zords too.

    I just like how they all had medevil weapons that shot lasers.

    Like the girl has a crossbow so fine, whatever.

    But the one dude has a boulder on the end of a chain, and he swings it around and it shoots lasers at the baddies. He never hits anyone with it.

    I think sword guy at least got into a sword fight or two.

    For Orange Rangers, you've also got Battle Cossack. I assume he'll be in Super Megaforce. I'm not as sure about Gokai Christmas.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuSQpnxb74k

    And that's Marvel's Miss America on the team. This is from the same partnership that led to Spider-Man having a tokusatsu series with a giant robot, and him hanging out with Kamen Rider V3.

    There's also Thunder-Stealth Captor 1 from Ninja Captor. Which is sentai, but not super sentai.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku2Z2FrMUVE

    The theme song is also amazing.

    Also there was a PR thread already, but I guess some people just never visit D&D.

    My favorite part about Ziggy is that he's such a goofball and yet they used him to explain series staples like, a bunch throughout that season

    Oh my god

    I wish I could find the video, but guess what happens later in that episode
    Blue Ranger Flynn turns his back on the bad guys and uses that explosion to save the day.

    Found it
