Saban's 8 Generations Vs Disney's 8 Generations - How Are They Doing?

[masked rider fearon]

why can't for power rangers have a complely original series
in other words no use of super sentai footage
original suits, zords , megazords , weapons
other stuff this could be possible I am sure that disney
have enough money to do this.

Well Saban might have pulled their own stunt with Mystic Knights actually but I'd have to look that one up.

[masked rider fearon]

this series mystic knight seems to be an early version of power rangers mystic force
I am unsure if there was any megazords I don't think so,
this was about Irish legends with what seems to bit a decent amount of
power ranger influence,
this is no reason why something like this could not be done for power rangers
and if done right we would not have to rely on super sentai footage all the time.

It can be done and has been done before. It's just not easy and therefore they would like to forego it and save money.

Mystic Knight was another Saban series. Nothing to do with Power Rangers though. But it was basically an american made Toku. It was very expensive to produce. As a matter of fact the second season was canceled do to cost. I beleieve the budget went toward's Lost Galaxy.

PR costs a lot now to produce, Disney has been cutting costs for years. There not going to spend all kinds of money to produce an American made series when it costs less to use Sentai footage. And even if they did you have to remember that Toei has a lot of experiance with producing zord battles, thirty years of it. It would be hard for an PR's production team to just jump right in without experiance with it.

In theory, Disney has the money. But this is a bussiness and they are in this thing to make money. It would be nice to see a fully American PR, but its isn't going to happen. Short of a big movie during some sort of PR revival in a similar vien to transformer's. But we are years away from that happening, if at all.

I am not saying that if they started straight away with that a new series it would be great,
it would problematically be crap until they got enough funding for this series,
there is not reason why this can't happen
but it in the long run I think it would be better instead of just using footage
already used before.
or maybe have Toei and disney make exclusive zords , megazords and suits

Perhaps if it was a gradual change. But I just don't see Disney going for it. Since they seem to think that PR is about adapting Sentai as much as possible. But its fun to speculate.

[masked rider fearon]

yes but if done this way both series would be different and separate
it would mean that disney could not copy super sentai footage since
both would have they own zords and megazords and suits,
why can't apart adapting super senati footage can't this be done

Why do you ask questions like this? We have to wait over two years to be able to judge. But if you really want an early indicator:

-Turbo and Wild Force are on average the most undisputed Saban seasons when it comes to being judged awful.
-Mystic Force and Operation Overdrive are on average the most undisputed Disney seasons when it comes to being judged awful.
-Lost Galaxy and Lightspeed Rescue are the two Saban seasons which meet with the most mixed results when evaluated.
-Ninja Storm and S.P.D. are the two Disney seasons which meet with the most mixed results when evaluted.
-MMPR, Zeo, Space and Time Force are the Saban seasons pretty much loved across the board.
-Dino Thunder is so far the only Disney season pretty much loved across the board.
-Jungle Fury isn't over yet, but so far seems to be half-and-half fan-wise, leaning toward a higher percentage of disapproval. The Spirit Rangers arc could change that, though.

So here's the scoreboard:

Saban
Win/Lose/Draw
4/2/2

Disney
Win/Lose/Draw
1/2/2

So, from what I've examined, Jungle Fury, RPM and PR 2010 would have to come out raving successes in order to even TIE Saban Entertainment's record of accomplishment.

(Please note this is one person's observations and you are completely free to disagree with any of it. The goal was simply to discourage Simnago from asking this question again before November of 2010.)

Because Disney doesn't care that much about the show. One's aired in Japan, one's aired in the U.S., so it only makes sense just to air what they can in both countries.

Be happy that we get any physical separation from Super Sentai at all, thanks to motorcycles, Battlizers, and this year THREE new Ranger costumes made from scratch.
