History Series / PowerRangersMysticForce

* AdaptationExplanationExtrication / AdaptationInducedPlotHole: Like ''[[Series/PowerRangersSPD S.P.D.]]'' before it, ''Mystic Force'' adapts several episodes and subplots from its source Sentai beat-for-beat. However, while ''S.P.D.'' had the benefit of having a background premise very similar to that of [[Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger its parent series]], ''Mystic Force'' makes heavy changes to ''Magiranger'' lore and character relationships, most notably having the counterparts to the Ozu SiblingTeam be UnrelatedInTheAdaptation. The problem is that ''Mystic Force'' carries over several plot points that are obviously made for their context in ''Magiranger'' and its theme of ThePowerOfFamily, but because said plot points aren't changed to accommodate their ''Mystic Force'' context, they come off as somewhat out of place:

** The "Ancient Mystic Modes" are strange, monstrous-looking forms used by characters such as Leanbow and Daggeron; these forms seem to be intermediate forms between their human and Ranger forms, which probably wouldn't be as conspicuous if they didn't look rather intimidatingly monstrous. Virtually no info is given as to what the forms are and how one would obtain one. In ''Magiranger'', Blagel (Leanbow's counterpart), Sungel (Daggeron's counterpart), Lunagel (Clare's counterpart of sorts), and Meemy (Imperious's counterpart) were [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Heavenly Saints]], so these were actually their true forms; Heavenly Saints in human form were implied to be using AFormYouAreComfortableWith when interacting with humans. [=MagiShine's=] TransformationSequence has him briefly assume this form for a moment before the Ranger armor comes on because it's effectively serving as his ShapeshifterDefaultForm, but while the footage was retained in ''Mystic Force'', the reason Daggeron has to momentarily assume "Ancient Mystic Mode" while transforming into Solaris Knight isn't explained at all.

** This is one of the major factors leading to Nick infamously becoming the SpotlightStealingSquad in the final arc of the series. Beyond TheLawOfChromaticSuperiority, the justification for Kai being at the center of the ''Magiranger'' narrative was that he was TheBabyOfTheBunch in a SiblingTeam, and his CharacterDevelopment was thus heavily reliant on his older siblings all trying to do their best to support their kid brother. This meant that episodes about Kai would usually feature his relationship with a given sibling instead of just being about him alone; on top of that, whenever the story brought up things related to to Blagel/Isamu, it would have an impact on all five siblings and their backstories, with Kai simply happening to be the most emotionally invested for [[TellMeAboutMyFather various reasons]]. [[spoiler:''Mystic Force'' removing the sibling context and making Nick the only one related to Leanbow and Udonna results in episodes originally meant to be about "Kai and one of his siblings" being made to be only about Nick, and the Ozu family's relationships built up over half a series are condensed into a comparatively abrupt LukeIAmYourFather and TheChosenOne reveal. A lot of Kai/Nick's role in the endgame plot, especially Kai's WellDoneSonGuy tendencies in the finale, are obviously written more as a culmination of Kai's ComingOfAgeStory than they are Nick's BecauseDestinySaysSo.]]

The problem is that in ''Magiranger'', a good number of these subplots operated under the context of the series being about a SiblingTeam and emphasized ThePowerOfFamily. ''Mystic Force'' has the characters be UnrelatedInTheAdaptation but doesn't change the episode plotlines to accommodate its different context, leading to some of these subplots becoming somewhat out of place:
