** That will forever remain in the closet of unsolved mysteries. Super Megaforce is considered a huge fail by many anyway.

* Putting Sentai footage aside, how does using the Ranger Keys of one Legendary team summon the Zords of another? Examples: Using the Samurai Keys to summon the Red Lion from Wild Force; or using the Dino Thunder Keys to combine with the Q-Drill from Super Megaforce?

** Samurai Red uses a red lion, Wild Red uses one too. It’s a tangential connection just strong enough to justify it, not very strong mind you, just enough. As for Q-Drill, it might be the same reason, but slightly weaker of a connection. Dino Thunder is dinosaur themed and the Q-Drill has a dinosaur form, and is also based off the original Quantasaurus Rex from Time Force. So, perhaps the Dino Thunder keys have command over all dinosaur zords.

*** This is ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', where people can breathe on the moon, instead of bleeding they have sparks fly (yes even out of the suits), they are constantly hit by explosions yet never get any burns and are still able to hear, there are human on other planets other than Earth, and countless other illogical events occur that break the laws of everything. In short, Power Rangers is a series that makes anyone with a science education past kindergarten face palm.

*** They just DID destroy the ships or at least the big amount. The next episode's ships are the reinforcements, and they don't seem to be enough to try a huge full-scale attack again. (This is when they resume to the mere monster of the week attacks that the rangers can easily take care of) The flagship seemed to escape the attack before the megazord can make a dent, so if there were still ships surrounding it, they likely fled too. And it's pretty stupid to think the rangers would intentionally put the planet in danger. The celebration at the end of Earth Fights Back is about the rangers' big victory after all.

** Wrong. TheDragon is just a named trope for the number two to the BigBad, not a trope that talks about actual dragons.

*** I theorized on the WMG page that the unadapted Sentai powers are a similar deal to ''RPM''; in that those powers are being drawn from another universe through the Morphin Grid, that universe being the original ''Super Sentai'' universe, rather than drawing them from some unseen ''PR''-verse equivalent to those teams. Of course, we all know that the real reason for their presence is "[[CreatorsApathy the producers were lazy and didn't give a shit]]".

*** Until another show contradicts it, yes we can assume so. And although its a different canon, the Boom comic book explicitly has that being the case, so there's precedent for it.

*** Gia appears in the 20th Anniversary special in ''Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel'', so it's canon unless Hasbro declares all previous seasons CanonDiscontinuity once ''Beast Morphers'' starts.

** Because the Armada is just the PR equivalent to the Zangyack. They are a strong and overconfident empire that somehow manages to invade and conquer countless worlds with little to no resistance. It has been made clear that the Armada controls most of the galaxy and wants universal conquest. Plus how do you know that the attack on Andresia is was just for the evils? We don't know anything about the attack outside of Orion's flashbacks. It is possible that the Armada contacted the planet's leaders, demanded they submit to them, and wiped all of them out when they refused.

Also they seemed to take Earth somewhat more seriously than the others (They used Warstar as an advance force and sent Vrak and the Messenger to help them, while no such thing was the case with Andresia).

***Real bad we never really got any explanation for those ‘new powers’ outside of them being treated as just another power up. Couldn’t they have at least had a single throw away line explaining how they were rangers from another planet or something? Better the just “Oooh shiny new powers!”


Added DiffLines:

** I prefer the explanation Linkara gives in HOPR, that being that the producers were bizarrely lazy, putting money into all the wrong things when there were plenty of better, cheaper options for them to do.


Added DiffLines:

** Padding padding paddding! Padding padding padding!


Added DiffLines:

****Except we see that the Armarda was still looking for the Anamarium, so they couldn’t have been the one to kill them as they hadn’t found them yet. What would have been cool is if we got to see the other wild zords having a sort of meeting and deciding to all go off and help around the world battling the armada forces, with the Red Lion Zord electing to go with the MegasForce rangers.


Added DiffLines:

** But surely they would have stopped when they see just how many loves and equipment they are losing when attacking this planet? Empires do not last long if the army is constantly being whittled down by attacking a clearly superior force. Why wouldn’t they be smart and just try to conquer the rest of the galaxy/universe and leave Earth for last? Could’ve given a bit of an origin for SPD and all the aliens joining the planet as initially being refugees seeking the last bastion of good and safety in the universe.

** Thing is we don’t get that explanation in Power Rangers, so in this case it doesn’t make sense. And even if that was the case and the Flagship was too strong for he rangers to defeat, why didn’t they just take out the ship’s surrounding it and leave Vekar to run away like a coward? I would’ve taken a while for him to get re-enforcements, and at the time he wasn’t the type to go charging into battle on his own unless he would have backup of some kind. So the rangers decision to not continue the attack just guaranteed continued attacks and left the rest of the world in danger of those shops attacking again.

* Why did Gosei wake up ''now'' of all times? There's at least half a dozen instances in the past where you think his presence would be a bit more needed than the case of a few bumbling bug aliens showing up. You would think that the [[PowerRangersTurbo Ranger powers being destroyed]] or [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace all the evil in the galaxy invading the planet]] would have crossed well over the GodzillaThreshold.
