** It's because of the context of them quitting. First off, the team (outside of Mack) was brought in specifically due to ways they can contribute outside of just being Power Rangers. Having other Rangers take over doesn't make Rose any less intelligent, or Will any less competent at infiltration. Hell, Tyzonn was brought in later due to already having a ton of rescue experience. Second, they all were given powers outside of Ranger Form which they still have access to which means even while they are less powerful, they would still be very useful within a fight. Third, the impetus for the OO Team to come back isn't out of desire to do good but because they found their old lives lacking. Would they have come back at all if they found any joy in just going back to what they were doing before? It's especially harsh with Tyzonn as he had NOTHING to do on Earth without the team and was a veteran rescue worker, but he chooses to leave and just wander around bored until he returns. What you're left with is a team that comes off as selfish and short-sighted. Now this could've been a great story beat early in the season, with most of the team treating it as just a job (which it essentially was, with a rich benefactor) only to slowly understand how important the work is and getting invested in what they're doing over time. The issue is that they carried this attitude all the way into the big Team Up Episode, and they didn't even learn the correct lesson by the end of it. Other teams or Rangers either had very good reasons for throwing in the towel, or at the very least learned the correct lesson when push came to shove. The Operation Overdrive team had neither.

*** While Bulk and Skull aren’t bullies in season 2 they were in Season 1 which likely wasn’t very long ago when season 2 starts (as the seasons progress they become better people) but it’s season 2 and the Power Rangers could still see them as bullies, not people you’d tell a secret to. Also the Power Rangers try to have normal teen lives and the world knowing their secret would ruin that. But most important is that if their identities as Power Rangers are exposed Zordon would take their powers away (or they would stop working) which means they can’t save the world from active evil.

*** He didn't actually forget about Scorpina the first time around, he was asked about it after the original episodes went up and said he left her out because she was ultimately pointless to the story. Enough people were bothered by it that he mentioned her in the revised episodes along with the things he actually forgot.

*** When he did have to address it in his ''Dino Charge'' review, he stated that the only ''Power Rangers'' references people had told him about were the [[ByThePowerOfGrayskull morphing call]] and the fact that some of the HumongousMecha were called Megazords, so he didn't really care about it. Barring him deciding to watch it of his own volition or someone requesting him to review episodes on Patreon, the odds of him caring about it later on are very slim.

* Did the people who told him about how the plots of Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger just read Ranger Wiki plot summaries of the episodes, or see episode previews, or hear about it from someone who actually watched the show, then when they explained it to him not really remember & not bother to look it up to make sure their info was correct, or did Linkara really not think to double check Ranger Wiki to make sure the info was 100% correct? During the Super Megaforce retrospective, he constantly gets Gokaiger plot synopses wrong (Shitari of Bones being in the Shinkenger tribute, when he was actually in the part of the Timeranger tribute that was reused Goseiger VS Shinkenger footage from their EarlyBirdCameo, the ranger costumes in the fight against Lavira being from the first 5 Sentai teams in the original Gokaiger episode when they were actually from the last 5 teams the Gokaigers got the legendary powers from after finally defeating Basco, many of the episodes that got fused together from the original Gokaiger ones & didn't accommodate the pacing of cherry picking the scenes from each, etc.) when he could've easily fact-checked this stuff & I'm just wondering why he didn't. There's also the fact that fact checking stuff on Ranger Wiki, or even here on TV Tropes for Super Megaforce alone would've shown him that even more stupidity was abound in the season with translations of Sentai names that the writers didn't care to check to see if they had adaptation names. Not to mention that the episodes were, basically, the Gokaiger episodes verbatim with only minor changes to barely accommodate Power Rangers. It's not the first time this has happened, but it IS the most egregious seeing as he had to mention a lot of Gokaiger's plot to make sense of the nonsense because of what I just mentioned. Then there's the fact that most of the main antagonists from Gokaiger were wasted as characters & it was Basco who was the most memorable villain in Gokaiger. Stripping him away from Super Megaforce left them with the problem that the main villains were boring, generic villains that they obviously didn't fix whatsoever. Then not having new ranger characters to actually have the traits from their Gokaiger counterparts stripped away all layers of complexity that the series could've hoped to have, since without that, some developments in some of the episodes didn't make a lot of sense to have happened like they did & some other characters didn't get the development they needed as a result. Then there's the fact that Noah & Jake switch fighting styles due to the stock footage & it doesn't make sense & the fact that the planets were reversed for all 6 rangers; the main 5 are from Earth while the 6th is an alien where it was the reverse in Gokaiger. Seriously, why did Linkara not double check these things before recording the videos & avert a major case of CowboyBebopAtHisComputer?

** It's probably also partly due to the episodes being shorter when he first started. I think he was largely going on memory, only watching episodes that effected the status quo mainly and leaving out most of the filler. It was only when he got to the seasons he was unfamiliar with that he had to start watching more of the show. Since "Doomsday" doesn't really effect the status quo outside of its own episode, he probably missed it. After all he even forgot to mention Titanus, something he admitted himself in the next video.

*** Sure, but the full song isn't the intro version, the intro version is just six words no matter which way you put it. I'd say it's nostalgia instead of a legit reason why the LG intro was rushing to tell a story. If he was commenting on the music itself, then sure, I can see what he was saying, but he was referencing lyrics themselves when talking about his opinion on the LG theme.
