* Gosei's [[OhCrap reaction]] to Marvo's announcement he's launching a full scale invasion makes perfect since. Listen to how he speaks. It's not hard to imagine he's having flashbacks to [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace the last full scale alien invasion of Earth]] where things got so desperate that [[spoiler:his mentor Zordon had to sacrifice himself to stop it]]. Is it any wonder he stresses the severity of what's happening?



** Vrak's endgame was ''this'' close to ''obliterating'' the entire planet.

** And then there's the finale where the Armada launches a ''full scale freaking invasion of the planet''. We even see people buried in rubble and trapped in elevators due to the damage. [[spoiler:If the past Rangers hadn't been running around rescuing people]], how many people might have died in that?

* Vrak's entire final plan could be summed up as 'drilling through the Earth when it was dark', which is essentially one of Vekar's earliest major plans when he arrived on the Earth.

* Gosei hiding the Super Mega Force powers and Ranger Keys until they ''need'' them makes sense when you remember the justification his mentor Zordon gave for the Rangers not just summoning the megazord and stepping on the monster: the Rangers aren't supposed to escalate the battle before the villains. Things didn't escalate to the point they ''needed'' the Super Mega and Legendary powers until the Armada arrived.

to:

* Vrak rapidly changing forms in ''Vrak is Back, part 1'' makes sense considering he drained Orion's powers, which is the Legendary Power. Like the Super Mega rangers, Vrak can access all of his past forms at will.
* From the same episode, when Tresnag grew up, the rangers used the Gosei Great Megazord with the Sea Brothers combination. Seems random, until you realize that the Sea Brothers and the Legendary Megazord have one thing in common, which is the pirate theme. The rangers had to find a substitute after being knocked back to Megaforce and being unable to access the Legendary Megazord.

* The Pre-''Zyuranger'' suits may seem like a case of StockFootageFailure, until you remember that throughout the series, it's been stated multiple times that the original Mighty Morphin' Rangers weren't the first team. You can easily assume that they are from different points of history and space.

* In ''The Perfect Storm'' episode, it's only appropriate for Sirjinkor, a monster that is powered by a crystal, to be defeated by the Zeo rangers, which are also powered by a crystal (albeit split into five).

** Also, due to the original Sentai footage been used, whenever Orion gets in the suit and uses his zord, he seems to act in a less collected way, losing his cold demeanor. In story, his dialogue gots peppered with lots of hoary, almost hysterical references to "justice", "vengeance", constant references to the final fate of Andrasia and requests to be the one giving the final blow to the Armada: basically, wherever Orion is empowered, he vents towards the Armada all the rage, sorrow and helplessness he felt when his entire people died.

* In Gokaiger, the Silver Ranger is an Earth-born newbie whose infectious (and treated as such) enthusiasm stands in stark contrast to the more cynical HumanAlien Sentai, even the gentlest of whom has been hardened by the loss of their worlds and loved ones, with this reversed for Super Megaforce. While Orion tends PR-friendly instead of Sentai-fractious, much of his style and attitude while fighting seems more like that of Marvelous and company.

* Orion's Megazord is stated to be ''the'' Q-Rex instead of a new zord altogether. This makes sense as it's shown, as in Gokaiger, to come back in time from the future. The Q-Rex was never destroyed and remained in the present day instead of returning to the future, it's quite possible that at some point between the present and the future, the Q-Rex will be modified into the form we see now.

* Jake laughing at SPD's Delta Runner and calling it a 'car zord' may be interpreted as a TakeThat to Turbo, but it adds an irony over the fact that Jake's zord is also a car zord, and a racer one at that.

* Vekar's timer on the bombs might seem odd, especially for someone as DangerouslyGenreSavvy as he was, but his bomb was set to explode sometime in the middle of the night, when the Power Rangers could be sleeping and thus unable to defend the Earth from the missile attack. Keep in mind that the only problem that led to his plan unraveling was that [[SpannerInTheWorks Troy managed to look at the mooks working on the missiles.]]

* The exchange between the Rangers and Cybax in "Earth Fights Back" might sound familiar. As it turns out, both their mottos (The Rangers willing to give up anything to protecting the planet, and Cybax saying that if the Armada wants something, they'll just take it) come from [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger its source material]]... With the twist being that those mottos belong to the opposite groups, with one of the bad guys having the mantra of sacrificing something to gain another, and Marvelous' own mantra of just taking something if he wants it.

** If you read a bit into this, it ''does'' make sense that they're switched around. The Rangers are inheriting all the other powers of the Power Rangers, and with it, their duty to protecting the Earth and willing to give everything they got into saving it. Recall that in Gokaiger, [[spoiler:the Sentai are more than willing to permanently give up their powers if it means the Zangyack are gone with it]]. They weren't space pirates who only learned about their heritage once they landed on Earth like their counterparts, and so the mantra of taking something if they want it never occur in their heads. Meanwhile, the Armada's ruthlessness is reflected in their motto and could be akin to that of a pirate. What is usually said after "If we want it, we'll just take it" is "that's what ''pirates'' do."

** The use of the Dairanger Suits is implied to be because they're a Ranger Team that didn't come from Earth. This is actually consistent with what the series has shown in the past that multiple other planets have had their own teams, such an [[Series/MightyMorphinAlienRangers Aquatar]], [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace KO-35]] , and[[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Mirinoi]] (while the Space and Lost Galaxy teams we see were primarily human, the original members of both teams were natives to their homeworld before the humans took up the mantel). It is entirely possible that, particularly in the case of the Lost Galaxy Rangers, Gosei would have had to get powers from another world anyway and decided to get ''all'' the Ranger Teams in the known universe.

** There's also the fact that the SPD Earth branch has existed as early as 2001, and we are now beyond the years that Sky's dad was active, so the B-Squad suits of 2025 could exist simultaneously to Super Megaforce. Just with different users obviously.

* According to Gosei, the usage of the Legendary Ranger Keys is taxing on one's strength, which is why the team switches to and from forms. Why would that be? Simple - they're still in use. They're essentially borrowing someone else's power for their own use. Remember Alpha's odd warning of "Too much Pink Power is dangerous"? We're back to that again.

* Episode 18 features buildings and, at one point, a civilian train being ''disintergrated''! No claims of "abandoned warehouse district", no reassurances that the buildings were empty. There's nothing to imply that the body count didn't just ''skyrocket''. In fact, aside from RPM, this season may have some of the highest numbers of civilian deaths ever.

*** In a meta sense, the fact that ''Megaforce'' concluded on a downer note directly leading into the next "season" can also be considered a mirror to the MMPR to Zeo transition.
