Some More Weapons by Sentai Fans IMO

Here are some more weapons I believe are being used by Sentai fans to attack Power Rangers and flame it on:

I've read in Youtube of fans berating Power Rangers SPD saying it's not as great as Dekaranger. I think it has to do with some overacting cast members (it's always better to underact than to overact) and that the Omega Ranger was just a ball of light.

Magiranger seems to be in the list too. I guess it has to do with Mystic Force's lack of episodes plus the poor writing of Bruce Kalish.

Boukenger's an obvious one. The fact is Operation Overdrive was so berated that some PR fans liked Boukenger better IMO as if it were a Saban season never mind the differences. I have to admit that even some people who are PR>Sentai type of fans liked Boukenger better and it had to do with likable characters, more developed plots and better humor which I agree.

Gekiranger has also been used to berate Jungle Fury which was too short for them.

Re-Thinking Power Rangers Operation Overdrive

(Yes, the picture is Boukenger's. I was just too lazy to find an Operation Overdrive pic. hehe)

We can all say that Power Rangers Operation Overdrive happened to be one of the worst PR series' ever. However, is it possible this season could be underappreciated to the Sentai fandom? I've thought of possible ways of how the series could've been better.

- Operation Overdrive had a rather good storyline overall. The idea of treasure hunting was not a bad idea, actually. I think the only problem was the fact that they had rushed many elements in the plot into 32 episodes and nothing could really be understood. The villains were perfectly fine, though not as developed as Boukenger's. Kalish should've maybe extended the length of the series, and it would've been much better.

- Overdrive's "Once A Ranger" wasn't too bad compared to "Boukenger vs Super Sentai." The kids obviously didn't want something as long and violent as Boukenger's team-up. Comparing to Sentai's anniversary team-up, "Once A Ranger" had actually done a better job revealing the past Power Rangers. Compare that to Sentai's, who only went as far back to GaoRanger of 2001. "Once A Ranger" is possibly one of the best PR moments, though Adam's new morph and music dissapointed most MMPR fans.

- Most importantly, the horrible acting of Operation Overdrive needed a lot of improvement. The dialogue was also lame at many points, but what can you expect? A kids' show, lol. But aside from that, do fanboys also realize Boukenger had pretty bad acting, too? Though most don't realize it, there were a few signs in Boukenger of overracting, especially by BoukenYellow, Natsuki. I still say it's much better than Overdrive's, however, but Kalish could've hired some more well-known Disney actors to help him. The series would've been much better.

Could it be lack of budget? Laziness of producers? Greediness? What else do you think caused Operation Overdrive to be a poor season?

The pros and cons of each Disney season

Hello everyone! KingdomRider here doing my first post on the Power Rangers Union blog! My first post is about the pros and cons of each Disney season. Not all are bad. Bear in mind this is completely a subjective. But this is what I feel anyway. In order from the best till worst. Can I make it clear this is NOT the order of which seasons I PREFER MYSELF, it's the order I feel the production and show quality was best.

1) RPM

Pros: It was dark, yet light-hearted. Serious, yet funny. All in a good way. The actors played their parts really well, and the jokes all come in at perfect times, and none of them seem really out of character. The story went to where no other season has done before: The bad guy had won, and the good guys are simply trying to defend the last bastion of humanity. This is a season I couldn't recommend highly enough, just all around good stuff.

Cons: At times, it just feels like a 30 minute toy commercial.

2) Dino Thunder

Pros: It helped restore continuity, exploring a true account of a past forgetful and childish ranger, having had a long absence, coming back as someone much more maturer, to guide Disney rangers in the right direction. It was a season where they were on top of things, with characters that were likable. It felt like it was a revamped version of MMPR, and I enjoyed it way better.

Cons: Overrated by too many people BECAUSE of that return, but then in that case (because most of the appreciation is JUST for that return and not for the content of the season ITSELF) it's not a true con for the season's run.

3) SPD

Pros: AMAZING dynamic between the cast. Possibly the best inter-group dynamic we've ever had. Again, the story was well thought out in places.

Cons: The way they handled Sam was handled extremely poorly, but even the producer admitted that. The theme (in this case, police) might not warm to everyone.

4) Ninja Storm

Pros: Such an upbeat and charismatic feel, but still felt natural and not forced. Amazing characters.

Cons: The whole "dude" and "extreme sports" thing got a bit tired after a while.

5) Mystic Force

Pros: Well, the story, the twists, alot of it is well thought out.

Cons: People criticize it because it focused too much on Nick, in comparison to the others. I was bothered by this, just a little bit. But I guess my criticism of it was that (like SPD) the whole magic theme might not be to everyone's taste.

6) Jungle Fury

Pros: The series had some great characters and a good story. The theme was really cool, the suits were new and different, and the complete fanboy ideas of it linking with Ninja Storm by the schools just elated me.

Cons: Because of the writer strike, things felt kinda rushed. Things appearing one minute, then not important the next.

7) Operation Overdrive

Pros: It, er...made you appreciate the existence of every other season, ever?

Cons: It had so much potential, but bad acting, and general half arsed effort, made it a failure. Operation Overdrive is probably one of the seasons that sounded cool, on paper.

I realized that I missed Wild Force since it is considered a Disney season. I, however, still consider it a Saban season since it was still under Saban's production. I may go over Saban's next, or if someone else wants to they can?
