The differences between Super Sentai and Power Rangers?
 

Does anyone know what the main differences between the two shows are? I know that sometimes their footage wouldn't make complete sense with our footage. Like in Green No More when Tommy can use his powers dispite losing them or in A Different Shade of Pink where Kimberly has a shark cycle dispite the fact that she never had it and it was first given to Kat. What do you notice?

Season 2 used Zyu 2 footage. Power Rangers Season 1 did so well that Fox commissoned more episodes then they originally ordered. So Toei shot extra action footage with the Zuyo costumes/zords. These we're used at the end of of Season 1 and in Season 2. They did do US only scenes. Especially in season 2 and 3. So thats why Tommy could still have his powers in "Green No More" and Kim having a Shark Cycle. The Shark Cycles we're actually all US footage.

As for comparing Sentai to PR. Some seasons try to adapt Sentai closely. To where they actually shoot US scenes to match the sentai. Like a lot of Time Force, Wild Force, and Mystic Force. But other seasons try to use the Sentai footage to tell there own story. With original US footage. MMPR Seasons 2 and 3 we're very much like this. They did a ton more american footage during that point. Space and Galaxy are examples of Ranger seasons that totally did there own thing ( Since MEgaranger and Gingamen we're not about Space Rangers).

Super Sentai can get away with more then PR. Since children's standards and practices don't censor as much out there. Sentai can be more violent and have darker storylines. But there is still plenty of comedy and camp. The target audience actually is for younger children then PR is. Sentai tends to not really have a tight continuity ( outsite of team ups). Unlike early PR had ( obviously now they are similar to Sentai, with little inter-season continuity besides team ups).

A friend of mine is doing a site to compare Sentai to PR. Its just starting though and not complete. But you can check it out. He has MMPR- Zeo/ Zyuranger-Ohranger so far.

The latest season of PR uses Shinkenger scenes.

I am back to computer games and I love playing The Sims 2 and Civilization V. Still a fan of The Amazing Race and Top Model franchise.

There is this site: http://sirstack.db-destiny.net/morphylogeny/main.htm

It shows you a step by step comparison of PR to SS. There is also videos on youtube explaining the differences in the 1st part of the series.

for me the basic difference is sentai may die, rangers never

Re: The differences between Super Sentai and Power Rangers?
 

Yeah, closest was Kendrix's Disney Death.

Re: The differences between Super Sentai and Power Rangers?
 

^LOL that was funny, one min she's dead the next she alive again due to THE LIGHT. No but seriously the only onscreen death was the death of Magna Defender's child. The other death that they got away with is cole's parents.

Re: The differences between Super Sentai and Power Rangers?
 

Didn't MD die on screen himself?

Re: The differences between Super Sentai and Power Rangers?
 

I'd say Mike's, Kendrix's, and Alex's "deaths" still count as death scenes. Since they we're thought to be dead at the time. Lets not forgot that Zordon died as well. Scorpius also got a pretty touching death scene.

Re: The differences between Super Sentai and Power Rangers?
 

Yup those also. But they undo a death it comes like nothing, but as you said the scene still counts.
