Right.

MMPR and some Disney seasons had plenty of the same problems and you probably didnt bat an eyelid back then.

I'd say it's more of the latter for him. If he didn't like that one, then he might as well just give up now. He hated Samurai & Super Samurai, he hated Megaforce, so I don't think he's going to like anything else any better. Well, unless Jonathan Tzachor goes away at least.

It did have some nice moves, didn't it?

Sorry if I was a bit dickish with that...it's just the constant negativity from the fans is getting boring to read. Some are just forgetting what made PR special to them. It was always hokey and badly acted, but half the charm was the cheese and the innovation. I know Samurai and Megaforce havent been up to snuff, that there are better kids shows on right now, and thaty I didnt like Samurai either, but Megaforce really wasnt bad last year and with this premiere episode I think steadily Saban are finding their feet again, but the fans, most of whom are spoiled on Sentai and other shows that cater to their aging tastes, are just determined to forecast doom and gloom reports about the franchise much like they did with the Kalish era.

At this rate, they'll have spent more years hating PR than enjoying it...and frankly, I just find it pathetic.

Managed to see the first Super Megaforce episode and quite enjoyed it.

I might have come off as dickish too, although that's not what I'm going for. The negativity does wear on you after a while though. That's why I'm not so inclined to read the Super Megaforce thread at Rangerboard. I want to look at the Dino Charge thread for news so I can know what to expect, and I wish I could easily afford possible complaints, but I can't. Even so, I understand that people can't help the way they feel. Some people, however, have reasons on why they don't like a particular seasons which are just, to be blunt, pathetic.

Anyway, for those who might be interested, an official Dino Charge poster.

It's an alright poster...what you pretty much expect

I didn't say it was a bad episode...I just don't feel nothing to it

I don't really care much for MMPR, sure I grew up on it as a kid...but that is all there is to it - it's not really all that impressive and is only good for a Nostalgic ride.

I mean, really Power Rangers prime was In Space - SPD, though RPM is the best to me

As for acting. it's never really been a huge deal to me...but when a season such as these past couple of years the ADR has been awful, so it really sticks out to me. Seriously, New Saban needs to learn "Less talk, more action"... also a good story and good writing and decent ADR can easily make the most urging acting bearable...I mean, if Arthur can have good writing, why can't Power Rangers?

As for hype...It was nothing special, they were just suits they were using ... It doesn't mean the same without the actual characters, otherwise they are just empty shells

You're even down on the promotional artwork eh? What do you think could have made it better?

I think it's pretty much safe to say that you're done with PR now. I think we get it.

Jason David Frank just recently posted a picture of himself with the elusive CM Punk on his facebook page. The work continues.

True enough. I understand where it's coming from too, but I also look for the positives in the seasons and there have been noticable improvements, not many, but enough to give the thing a pass for me for the moment.

Hell, Linkara actually enjoyed Samurai and I've a feeling when his HOPR series gets around to that, then a lot of the more fickle fans will just change their minds over it just because he says it's worth something. We'll see.

I'll tell you one thing though, I'd rather watch "interesting failiures" like Megaforce over Sentai any day of the week, as entertaining as Shinkenger, Gokaiger and Kyrouger have been for me, at least in small doses, I haven't enjoyed most of what comes out of Sentai on a consistent basis in an age.

That's an awesome poster, probably the best one they've done since they started churning them out

I would of preferd the actual suits; I mean, It's an alright image on its own - what more do you want for me?

You know, just preference to practical imagery

I almost want to say that you're just trying to find fault.

Just stick to Sentai and call it a day.

I don't know how that is a fault

I'm just saying, I'd rather a movie poster of the actual robo-cop rather than a movie poster of a painted robo-cop
