The negative aspect of the Legendary Battle.
 
Nothing will be able to top it. I'm sure some said that about FOREVED RED and/or ONCE A RANGER, but this is different because it'll feature every single RANGER.

By the way, I just read that next season will be called DINO CHARGE. Are you kidding me?! Another dinosaur-themed team?! If you've run out of ideas, just end the show.

The best part about the legendary battle episode is the return of the greatest ranger of all time (tommy) and wes and carter

But without power rangers, saturday morning will never be the same
Power rangers was cancelled once after RPM back in 2009 but now saban brought back the franchise back in 2011

Some people stopped watching power rangers after in space
Some people stopped watching power rangers after lost galaxy
It's like some people think DBZ ended after frieza saga

They can't choose the shows theme, they have to follow the sentai. And Judd Lynn is now back in charge, and he helmed some of the best seasons of the show, so Dino Charge can only be good. The reason the Legendary battle has a negative aspect around is because the rest of Megaforce/Super Megaforce is a pile of dog sh*t, and there's no reason the final is any different (which it isn't, having watched it).

Re: The negative aspect of the Legendary Battle.
 
Considering some of the crap that the production team went through trying to get Forever Red off of the ground...

- Reuniting all of the Red Rangers up to that point, excluding Rocky by virtue of Steve Cardenas moving house and falling out of contact with the producers. According to RangerWiki, Rocky would've participated in the battle had Austin St. John declined an appearance.

- Bringing in Danny Slavin, who had previously walked out of the Lightspeed Rescue/Lost Galaxy team-up, late in the game (as in, post-production late. He had to be digitally inserted into various scenes) as a favour to one of the producers.

- The producers reportedly planning for a multi-parter and trying their best to push for it, despite Saban's insistence to the contrary. Word on the net was that the original script featured a grand showdown with all of the Red Ranger Zords that existed up to that point, but that idea was nixed on the basis that it would be selling toys that weren't commercially relevant anymore.

...That episode at least has a somewhat meaningful story to tell, despite its many flaws and inconsistencies with established lore, and each of the actors (at least, the ones that were actually on set during the episode's filming) were given something to do in the subsequent battle against the villains.

The Legendary Battle, on the other hand?

- 10 veteran actors are flown all the way out to New Zealand to make what essentially amount to very brief cameo appearances.

- Of those 10 actors, only 5 are given any speaking lines, with Jason David Frank getting the most dialogue and face time.

- The finalized episode utilizes a smattering of stock footage from Gokaiger's version of the battle, and any tidbits of original fight footage DO NOT feature those returning actors.

Is it really any wonder that Johnathan Tzachor was fired from his post?

Like TrickyDicky, I'm ready to move on from the clusterfrak of wasted opportunities that this mega-mess of a season was built out of. Let's see if Judd Lynn will be able to really wash out Megaforce's bad taste (which I very much hope he will succeed in doing).

We all have our problems, some just hide it better.

Kiti, stop calling people who disagree with you liars, it's childish and immature. And so what if it's better than samurai? That doesn't make any less than complete and utter sh*t.

Seems a bit silly to me, Sentai is still going strong after almost 40 years. The kids still love it.

IMDB_Vits 10/29/14 03:52 PM

Re: The negative aspect of the Legendary Battle.
 
That's not an indication of quality.

I've forgiven the show for recycling storylines, but they can't come up with with new themes for the teams?

TrickyDicky007 10/29/14 03:53 PM

Re: The negative aspect of the Legendary Battle.
 
Did you miss this years train theme?

soul_reaver265 10/29/14 03:54 PM

Re: The negative aspect of the Legendary Battle.
 
Not to mention Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, in which the heroes were a team of spy agents, each of their costumes and mecha carrying a loosely-applied creature motif: Cheetah (Red), Gorilla (Blue), Rabbit (Yellow), Rhino Beetle (Gold) and Stag Beetle (Silver).

Unfortunately, that series largely got passed over with regard to the Power Rangers adaptation process, reportedly due to poor toy sales in Japan. Elements of it will apparently be featured in Power Rangers Dino Charge, though so far - to my knowledge at least - only the Morphin' Brace is confirmed.

No, the toy sales in Japan. Kids didn't like the go-busters toys so much. So Saban decided to skip go busters and go straight to kyoryuger for dino charge.

Re: The negative aspect of the Legendary Battle.
 
Wow
Go busters has got the most poor toy sales

Agree to that
I should think why saban should skip go busters and move on to kyoryuger
Because go busters is the lowest rated santai show

MedicalMechanica 10/29/14 03:57 PM

Re: The negative aspect of the Legendary Battle.
 
Kyoryuger is rated lower than Go-buster it seems. I would have been interested in where they could've gone with Go-busters. The zords for that weren't too shabby and a team up episode with the Megaforce team would've been cool since they bring back old zords.

First off I wouldn't say 'nothing' will be able to top Forever Red.
Second you don't end a show just because you need to keep on using the same themes. After 40 years of the series you're gonna be reusing themes again and again.

I agree that Tommy was one of the good parts about the battle but definitely not Wes or Carter.

Also Saban bought the show back from Disney in 2010, they just didn't air Samurai until 2011.

Exactly they have no control over the show's theme they can try to adjust things like they've done before in Power Rangers but they can't do anything about the stock footage.
No doubt about Chip.

Saban had nothing to do with Wild Force, that was under Disney ownership. Disney was just letting them do their own thing for the most part.

I do agree with you in regards to the Legendary Battle though.

Doesn't matter what you were referring to, it doesn't make any business sense to end a successful money-making franchise just based on whether they can think up a new theme or prefer to go with a previous theme.

It's not an indication of quality but it still doesn't make any realm of sense for a business to end a show just because they might have ran out of themes, there's only so many themes you can come up with before you start reusing old themes

Not only that but there was Go-Busters as well which I believe which was a spy theme?

It is disappointing that Go-Busters was skipped over but hopefully we'll still see some aspects of it in Dino Charge but we'll see once it airs next year.
