Power Rangers Megaforce

I've been a die hard fan of the rangers since I was 13, 20 years ago. after watching every episode over the years it was beginning to become clear that power rangers had lost their spark. after dinothunder Disney began to strangle the life out of the series. rpm was the rangers salvation however by that time Disney was doing everything it could to stifle the potential hit allowing zero publicity and changing it's time slot around constantly to confuse and lose it's viewers. Hearing that saban had swooped in to resurrect the series was music to my ears. then came samurai.... what a pile of steaming crap that was. and two years of unbearable acting, thin plots, and terrible writing was almost enough to tear me away from my childhood heroes. megaforce is the show I've been waiting for. check it out.

I mean, I know the Super Megaforce idea is kinda cookoo because its pirates. But for sure, my FAVORITE Megaforce episode is the Legendary Battle episode. I mean, just now, I'm writing a new Power Rangers book called Power Rangers Ultra Force. And not to mention my mom loves Power Rangers and my mom's favorite is Mighty Morphin. So, I would want you to believe that Megaforce is not one of the bad Power Rangers shows in the Morphing world of Power Rangers. So, I just want to say to PR fans, keep doing good, Power Ranger fans and actors, keep Morphining and don't judge how terrible Power Rangers are. HAVE FUN!!!!!!

Well, what's to say? Back in 1994, the internet was in it's infancy. I was working on the Power Rangers movie in Australia, building zord cockpits. Yes, a mad fan of the show, working on the show and surrounded by Power rangers. Hence my handle (Zordmaker), a handle I have now held since the movie came out in 1995.

Today I sat down and watched the first two episodes of "Power Rangers Megaforce" with my 9 year old daughter, who'se name (naturally) is Kimberley.

Before that handle I was known on the 'net as "Paul MMPR Forever". Others would jest at me and my handle, saying that Power Rangers was a fad and would never last. Who'se had the last laugh now eh? "PR Megaforce" does justice to 20 years of history with the show coming home to roost with it's original producers but still filmed in NZ. The first ep is deliberately formula and essentially the same as the 20 year old fossil.

As with the original, there's a long way to go yet for Megaforce. It has a the same problems as it's more modern predecessors (Samurai & back to about Time Force) in that there's simply too much smash and bash action and not enough time to tell a story.

But story was never a strong point with Power Rangers. That's why when we see some (as was the case with the first series back in 1993-94) we covet it so much. My satisfying feeling is that Megaforce might be more than just a 20 year homage to the original.

Give it a chance. Especially if you're an old fan of the show, have drifted away and might want to come back. I've never really liked everything that Jonathan Tzachor did (that second PR movie was a low point) but hey, without him there would be no PR - and now (it would seem) no Megaforce.

Go for it, team. Well done! Zordmaker

For starters, high schoolers have been done a billion times or what feels like a billion times. Troy is such a bad leader. Noah is the nerd type like Billy from MM. Jake is the cool/athletic type, similar to Zack. And all of the others are just bland and feel like a thin sheet of paper. Also this was just a disappointment and a shame to the precious Gokaiger. You had one job!

This show is terrible. I do not recommend watching. The unmorphed fights are so bad that you can actually see that they're stunt doubles without getting a second look. And they use way too many super sentai footage that they hardly have any original content.
