Line #4 YMMV/PowerRangersMegaforce


1	----
2	* AlasPoorScrappy: Vekar, being TheUnfavourite of his royal family, is considered this, despite his detractors, after he dies at the hands of the Rangers. Not to mention, Vrak berating his big brother and thanking the Rangers for doing him a favor.
3	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Quite a bit considering how bland the Rangers actually are:
4	** Emma being a PsychoLesbian who kills anyone who even ''looks'' at Gia the wrong way. This wasn't helped by a short film Christina Masterson (Emma's actress) took part in where she acts as bait to lure people into a basement for a serial killer. The fact she spends so much time alone in the woods wasn't missed by fans.
5	*** Some fans interpret her as an ecoterrorist a la Ra's Al Ghul after seeing a scene of her imagining how the world was before human development, implying she wants that world back.
6	** [[FlatCharacter Troy]] being a [[DullSurprise robot]] and having a passionate hatred of water bottles. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvZ7mDF5e0o He may or may not be in love with Robo Knight.]]
7	** Noah is a {{Robosexual}}.
8	** Jake being a creeper who won't stop his advances on Gia, even when it's shown she really isn't interested.
9	** Conversely, some feel Gia is a tease who, despite not looking like she'll ever date Jake, uses his affections to get stuff and have him faun over her.
10	** When Orion first appeared, his long hair caused him to be called a space-hippy. There are also suggestions that the trauma of losing everything combined with spending several months alone with only thoughts of revenge on his mind, that Orion has at least a few screws loose if not outright insane.[[note]](It doesn't help that Gai Ikari, Orion's Gokaiger counterpart, is a Manic Fanboy with a penchant for being lively and flamboyant and Orion is basically Batman [[JustForFun/RecycledINSPACE IN SPACE]] so whenever Gokaiger's footage is used, Orion comes out as being a revenge-obsessed, raving madman.)[[/note]]
11	** After ''All Hail Prince Vekar,'' it opened a lot of possibilities about Vekar. To some, his narcissism and irrational strategies seem to [[FreudianExcuse stem from]] [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex his father putting him down]] [[TheUnfavorite while putting Vrak on a pedestal]].
12	*** It almost makes you feel bad for the prince, and makes Vrak even more of a MagnificentBastard.
13	** A description of Vrak states that Vrak would rather rule Earth than destroy it. So was Vrak's plan with the drills SanitySlippage caused by his first death and revival or a planet-wide case of IfICantHaveYou after numerous failures to conquer it? Either one is likely because such a plan doesn't benefit the Armada in any way and Vrak doesn't have his sentai counterpart's desire to recreate it after it's destruction.
14	* AntiClimaxBoss: Emperor Mavro is powerful enough to take on two rangers while sitting down... but gets destroyed when Troy and Orion shoot a console, blinding him with sparks, and giving them the opportunity to finish him. The extended cut averts this, as he survives the ship's crash and has one final battle with the rangers.
15	* {{Anvilicious}}:
16	** In the episode "Robo Knight", the Rangers are appalled that humans are polluting the earth, the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Toxic Mutants]] are created as a direct result of a toxic factory polluting the earth, and the SixthRanger is introduced whose sole mission in life is to punish those who pollute the earth. About every third line hammers home the message, just in case kids didn't get it. Since then the "environmental" message has been toned down.
17	** The series also likes to hammer home the "teamwork is awesome" message a lot. Almost every line by the Rangers during a monster fight--directly with the monster--often relates to how teamwork can overcome anything.
18	** Speaking of overcoming, Troy is generally used as a speakerphone for perseverance and "never giving up," mentioning how formidable the Human spirit is ad nauseam.
19	* AssPull:
20	** How the Rangers and Robo Knight get their Power Cards in each episode. Right when they're about to get hosed, or learn about the power of teamwork for the umpteenth time, Gosei gives them a new card that's just what the Rangers need at the moment. Granted, it's mainly because of the writers only adapting the bare necessities of Goseiger.
21	** Gosei conveniently has a new set of powers and zords for the rangers that are not only stronger than the ones they've been using but can also utilize the powers of every other ranger in history. One wonders how he got them, why he never made this info privy before, or how having multiple copies of the same powers doesn't cause a glitch in the Morphing Grid when it's happened before ala Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder.
22	** In "Blue Saber Saga", it looks like Emma will learn that sometimes, teammates have to fight on their own. Sounds a bit dark for this season, but cool. Nope, the MonsterOfTheWeek pulls a fast one on Noah, forcing the others to bail him out. So the episode's lesson gets screwed up, just so Emma would be in the right. Again, the Sentai footage is to blame, but it made more sense, as the Aesop for that episode was to let friends help you when you need them.
23	** The aforementioned "Powers Never Before Seen on Earth". Prior to the episode they appeared in, there was ''no'' hint that they were going to appear. The keys shown in Gosei's chamber didn't show any Sentai-exclusive teams. The ''Dairanger'' suits can at least be excused on the grounds that the season they come from was technically adapted[[note]]the core 5 didn't appear in season 2 of ''Mighty Morphin'', but said season did use other elements of ''Dairanger'' - although had it not been for Valerie Vernon getting leukemia, they would've been used as "Ancient Rangers" in ''Lost Galaxy''[[/note]], but the other teams? Yeah, no.
24	** [[spoiler:Robo Knight]] is just... suddenly alive again in the Legendary Battle. No, [[UnexplainedRecovery they never explain what happened]], even as a simple HandWave. Nobody even reacts to it like he's been gone at all.
25	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
26	** Despite being a remix of a remix, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bkr2RhEoA-s theme song]] definitely qualifies, managing to provide a few unique parts as well, similar to ''Zeo,'' with a ''Lost Galaxy''-esque TitleScream as well.
27	** Emma's song in "Harmony and Dizchord".
28	* BaseBreakingCharacter: While the general consensus of the series is that their characters are underutilized, the core rangers have their fair share of supporters and critics.
29	** Noah: While his default personality was fine, fans are torn between whether or not he had character development (not helped with the major difference in Hyde and Joe dividing those on how the footage worked for the character) or was just as bland as his fellow Rangers.
30	** Jake: Jake is the least hated amongst the five for... constantly having a personality compared to his Sentai counterpart, his friendship with Noah, and having some focus episodes that the audience to connect to. The problem some people have with Jake is to his relationship with Gia: some feel that his crush on Gia was fine and gave a unique character dynamic between the rangers while others find him to be creepy, sexist, and only loving her for just her looks instead of trying to understand her as a person.
31	** Gia: Gia is loved in no thanks with Ciara Hanna's commanding performace, being strong willed, and for having a strong personality that is shown throughout the series. The bigger argument people have against her is the endless eye candy, the lack of character growth or a single focus episode dedicated to her. Her treatment of Jake also causes a rift, where fans either believe she does care about him or is just pulling her by the wayside.
32	** Emma: Some fans give Emma credit thanks to her singing, generally kind nature, and Christina Masterson’s acting. Others find Emma to be annoying, boring, hypocritical (such as how she forces Jake to carry her stuff) and her focus episodes to be the most bizarre and preachy. The Kimberly {{Expy}} part of her is seen by her fans as unique since she has her own talents outside of Kimberly while others view her as a downgraded version of the original Pink Ranger with no memorable storylines.
33	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: "Power of Six" starts with Orion in a montage of dancing and movie references, just 'cos he's alone in the high school after hours.
34	* BrokenBase: Episode 2 of ''Super Megaforce'' reveals that they can now morph into the Dairanger suits, with the only explanation being that they're from an alien planet. Many fans call this lazy, some are okay with it, and a few are glad that the Dairanger suits are being used. Three episodes later we're treated to the [[Series/ChoushinseiFlashman PinkFlash]] and [[Series/HikariSentaiMaskman YellowMask]] outfits, without so much as a HandWave, probably hoping viewers would just remember the "never seen on this planet" spiel. Some fans can excuse the ''Dairanger'' suits on the grounds that said season was ''technically'' adapted into season 2 of ''Mighty Morphin'', but it's not a universal opinion, but the same can't be said for the other "New Powers". Even if you interpret Gosei's statement of the Rangers unlocking "powers never before seen on this Earth" right before they use the Dairanger suits as an explanation for ''all'' the New Powers, it's never revealed what caused this - was it the rangers using the powers of [=RPM=], a team from a different dimension? Was it Gosei just now deciding that the rangers needed these powers, despite the fact that they weren't struggling at all at the moment? Or was it something else entirely?
35	* CompleteMonster: [[TheHeavy Vrak]] is the youngest son of Emperor Mavro and also the most dangerous enemy of the Megaforce Rangers. Starting off as second-in-command to Admiral Malkor, Vrak was the EvilGenius who came up with plans to take over the Earth. His plans involved sending a virus that turned humans into their minions and [[Recap/PowerRangersMegaforceS1EP6HarmonyAndDizcord using a monster's music abilities]] to potentially kill many humans on the planet at once. He also frequently [[ManipulativeBastard manipulated]] his allies to achieve his goals, leading to their deaths. When Malkor is defeated and Vrak is killed in the destruction of their spaceship, his robot servant Metal Alice finds him and brings him back as a cyborg, and later sacrifices herself to save his life from an attack from the Rangers, Vrak in response "[[UngratefulBastard thanks]]" her by [[KickTheDog telling her he never cared for her]], before leaving her to die. He resurfaces in "[[Recap/PowerRangersSuperMegaforceS2EP16VrakIsBackPart1 Vrak Is Back]]" after his older brother, Prince Vekar is defeated, cruelly mocking him for his death. Having kidnapped Robo Knight and Orion, he drained the life force of the latter, forcibly reprogramming the former to attack his former friends while constructing drills that burrow into the Earth's core to destroy the planet. [[LackOfEmpathy Lacking empathy]] for both allies and enemies alike, Vrak is one of the franchise's cruelest aliens to invade the Earth.
36	* EnsembleDarkhorse:
37	** Robo Knight was the most well-received member of the team, as was the only member of the team with full CharacterDevelopment.
38	** Orion also qualifies, to a lesser extent, mostly based on his tragic backstory and being the only member of the team with an actual "Battlizer".
39	** Admiral Malkor is an UnwittingPawn who appears in less than half of the episodes, but he often makes it to one of the top ten spots when people are rating the franchise's best villains. This is mainly due to Malkor being a GeniusBruiser, a BenevolentBoss to his subordinates, and a GracefulLoser who appreciates having {{Worthy Opponent}}s.
40	* EpilepticTrees:
41	** In ''Super Megaforce'', the SixthRanger is named Orion. Fans started snarking that the [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Lost Galaxy]] connections made themselves. (A plot device in ''Galaxy'' was the Lights of Orion).
42	** Similarly, when it was announced that ''Megaforce'' would be adapting both ''Goseiger'' and ''Gokaiger'', instead of just doing a full adaptation of the former[[note]][[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers while there is precedent for adapting multiple sentai in a single series]], starting with ''Zeo'', the sentai changing usually meant that the series and team would change as well; and since most fans count ''Samurai'' and ''Super Samurai'' as one season, it was expected that if they adapted ''Goseiger'', they'd either skip ''Gokaiger'' or adapt it separately[[/note]], many fans began speculating what elements of ''Gokaiger'' would be adapted - one of the earliest theories was that they'd keep the card system from Goseiger and drop the key system from ''Gokaiger''[[note]]the card system in ''Goseiger'' was made more to promote a sentai arcade game that never made it stateside; while in theory the ''Goseiger'' morphers could have done something similar to the key system from ''Gokaiger'', they never explore the possibility in show, although to be fair, other shows where this could happen in theory like ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger'' and ''Series/ResshaSentaiToQger'' haven't explored the possibility either[[/note]], with many fans pointing that the Megaforce Morphers came with cards of rangers from previous teams as proof of this happening[[note]]while this would still require them to explain the existence of the Gokaiger suits, they could have been handwaved as a super mode[[/note]].
43	* EvilIsCool: [[DragonInChief Vrak]] is fairly competent schemer and the most successful villain with some great and well thought out plans. He's also got a great voice and has a badass and intimidating presence that most other villains tend to lack.
44	* FanNickname:
45	** Tensou is being referred to as "WesternAnimation/WallE" or [[Film/ShortCircuit Johnny 5]] by quite a number of fans, along with some people calling Gosei "[[Series/LegendsOfTheHiddenTemple Olmec]]".
46	** ''Franchise/RoboCop Knight'' for Robo Knight due to having similar voices and mannerisms.
47	** "Cameo Rangers" for the group of actors that came back to, at the very least, show up during part of the Mega War.
48	** Some fans referred Super Megaforce as "Goseikaiger".
49	** Some fans refer to the Dairanger mode as Power Rangers New Powers for Gosei simply referring to them as New Powers and Gia saying "Bring on the new powers!" this ceased when the show started calling them Squadron mode. This led some fans to snark about how New Powers as if it was a ''real season'', complete with [[http://www.rangerboard.com/showthread.php?t=167279 Nostalgia Thread]].
50	** For the series itself: Super Megaf'''a'''rce, Super Megafail, the #[=ShowThatCouldHaveBeen=] and #[=theSeasonofNoExplanations=]
51	* FanPreferredCouple:
52	** There is quite a large vocal section of the fandom that enjoys putting Troy and Gia together as a couple
53	** There's also no shortage of people who would have preferred Gia and Emma get together. They have the most fanfiction about them on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn.
54	* HarsherInHindsight: When it was announced that Gokaiger would be adapted into ''Super Megaforce'', many fans began wondering what Saban would do about the teams that hadn't been adapted into Power Rangers[[note]]not counting ''Series/TokumeiSentaiGobusters'', ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger'', or the (at the time) currently airing ''Series/ResshaSentaiToQger'', which did not appear in ''Gokaiger'', there are 15 Sentai series without Power Rangers adaptations, although if you include ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger'', which provided the White Ranger outfit in season 2 of Mighty Morphin, the total rises to 16[[/note]], with some fans predicting that unless Saban did the same thing with these teams that they did with [[Franchise/KamenRider the Showa Riders]] in "[[Series/MaskedRider The Invasion of Leawood]]"[[note]]where every pre-''Series/KamenRiderBlack'' Kamen Rider was plonked in there, with no explanation[[/note]], they would either have to disregard or explain away all the other 16 teams. Turns out that while most of the teams were discarded, some of them ended up being included - seemingly at the cost of ''In Space'', ''Time Force'', ''Lightspeed Rescue'', and ''Operation Overdrive''.
55	** [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Basco's]] actor expressed excitement about seeing his character being adapted into Power Rangers. Not counting StockFootageFailure, take a wild guess what villain ended up getting AdaptedOut? Although can also count as HilariousInHindsight.
56	* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: In Super Megaforce episode 17, Andrew Grey really brought it as Troy when pleading for Robo Knight to snap out of his mind control. It's disappointing Saban never let Andrew really show his acting talents besides this one scene.
57	* HilariousInHindsight:
58	** The reason for why Goseiger and Gokaiger were adapted in the same season is because Saban was explicitly told not to skip Goseiger due to ExecutiveMeddling. Revel in the irony of ''Go-Busters'' being (initially) skipped over for ''Kyoryuger'', skipping over ''[=ToQger=]'' for ''Ninninger'', both ''Zyuohger'' and ''Kyuranger'' being (possibly) initially skipped for ''Go-Busters'', and ''Lupinranger vs. Patranger'' being skipped over for ''Ryusoulger''.
59	** in ''Series/BakuageSentaiBoonboomger'', One of the Boonboomger Robo's formations is called "Boonboomger Robo Knight".
60	* HoYay: Noah ''really'' wants to see Orion's spaceship.
61	* HumorDissonance: In ''Last Laugh'', Noah is criticized for over-analyzing jokes rather than simply relaxing and laughing at them. The problem is, the jokes in question are legitimately ''awful'' (unless you're, say, a seven-year-old), and he comes off more like the OnlySaneMan in some sort of world gone mad, where people will break into laughter at the slightest provocation. Especially the monster's last resort: a good old-fashioned fart. It gets Troy, but not Noah.
62	* ItsTheSameNowItSucks:
63	** Megaforce's latter half's original adaptation, ''[[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gokaiger]]'', is a universally loved season in the Franchise/SuperSentai franchise. Many fans felt in comparison, the American version doesn’t hold a candle to the original ''at all'' with its bland characters and story and how it doesn’t pay as much homage to past Ranger seasons as ''Gokaiger'' did.
64	** Many fans complain that it tries too hard to be a remake of ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'', others argue that it fails as an homage emulating ''MMPR'' only in the most superficial way.
65	** Emma and Gia's names sounding a lot like [[Series/PowerRangersSamurai Emily and Mia]] gets this reaction from some fans, since it implies that the writers are running out of ideas among many things.
66	** The "Go Go Power Rangers" remixes for ''five'' years in a row since MMPR 2010.
67	* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Emma is this to a season scale. Being TheHeart of the team, she's basically shippable enough to be paired with well...all members of the group (except Robo Knight maybe). It's helped by the fact she's ShipTease magnet with some fans shipped with [[RoboShip the robot turned friend Rico.]] Also she's paired with [[CrossoverShip Jungle Fury Red Ranger Casey]] appeared in "Spirit of tiger" (Super Megaforce episode). The amount of edits on Youtube dedicated for her pairings is quite noticeable.
68	* LesYay: "United We Stand" has a ''lot'' of hugging between Emma and Gia. And while the MonsterOfTheWeek in that episode turned Emma and Gia against each other with the intent of creating a fight to the death between the two girls, the actual result was them bickering LikeAnOldMarriedCouple. Even in "Mega Mission", there's bit of this: Gia has Emma's drink order memorized and they engage in overly long staring into each other's eyes without speaking in a manner that is quite similar to ''Series/RizzoliAndIsles''.
69	** In fact, the actors for Emma and Gia are aware of it and jokingly tweeted their [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/aafaa725a86411941b491a5a86f9fc64/tumblr_mmvov380ha1qbe91uo1_500.png pairing name]] after that episode aired. Then there's [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/f7cec4aded06c60fd3f78e745eb67840/tumblr_mmeu6kbpUJ1qloo1ro1_1280.jpg this]].
70	* MemeticMutation:
71	** "[[AWizardDidIt There's a Simple Explanation for that]]" usually comes up whenever we see any pre-Zyuranger suits or to explain logical fallacies in Power Rangers.
72	*** Alternatively it might have actually been a brilliant move, but as Vrak puts it, "It's far too complex for you to understand".
73	* MoralEventHorizon: [[MoralEventHorizon/PowerRangers See the page for examples.]]
74	* {{Narm}}:
75	** The second season's insistence on putting the prefix "Super-Mega" on ''everything'' gets annoying fast. Naturally, [[DeadpanSnarker Vekar]] makes a snark about it:
76	--> '''Vekar''': Super-mega hurry up and destroy them already!
77	** As pointed out by Linkara in [[WebVideo/HistoryOfPowerRangers his review of the series]], a lot of the names used for the weapons sound more like something you'd expect from a ''parody'' of ''Power Rangers'' than an actual show - i.e., the SuperMode for the first season is called "Ultra Mode", but instead of calling themselves "Megaforce Ultra (ranger color)", the team calls themselves "Ultra Megaforce (ranger color)". Gets even worse in the second season, where they add "Super" to everything.
78	** The first season's opening narration: "Our world was once a safe and happy place... ''until evil aliens arrived with one plan: '''To destroy Earth!'''''" The sudden MoodWhiplash is like something you'd see in a political attack ad. You almost expect it to end with "I'm Gosei and I approve of this message."
79	*** Not to mention that said "safe and happy" world has been subjected [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers to]] [[Series/PowerRangersZeo no]] [[Series/PowerRangersTurbo less]] [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace than]] [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy seven]] [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm alien]] [[Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive invasions]], [[Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue four]] [[Series/PowerRangersWildForce from]] [[Series/PowerRangersMysticForce dem]][[Series/PowerRangersSamurai ons]] and many more monsters in the past 20 years alone. Not to mention all [[Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge the]] [[Series/PowerRangersSPD future]] [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel events]] [[Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers in]] [[Series/PowerRangersDinoFury store]] for Earth, [[Series/PowerRangersRPM or in other timelines]].
80	* NarmCharm: The entirety of "The Robo Knight Before Christmas". Is Robo Knight teaching children the true meaning of Christmas kind of silly? Yes. Is it still adorable, regardless? Also, yes.
81	** For that matter, Robo Knight's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbBYPD8CAHg&t=1s rap]] in "The Human Condition".
82	* OneSceneWonder: Karone's 'I love being a Power Ranger' line in the extended finale seems to be well received, in part because the Legend Shift to Astronema adding a lot of weight to the scene. It's only a short scene, but it definitely hits home.
83	* {{Padding}}: ''Super'' has an odd mix of both this and rushing through things. While episodes will combine multiple episodes into one from ''Gokaiger'' with very little changed ['Super Megaforce', 'Samurai Surprise', 'All Hail Prince Vekar', 'Emperor Mavro', 'The Legendary Battle' (the episode 20 version, not the DVD that fused the last 2 episodes together)] with often rushed pacing as a result of deleting things from the original ''Gokaiger'' scripts, there are a few episodes that either have this in spots, or are entirely this ('Spirit of the Tiger' has several minutes at the beginning dedicated to nothing but teaching the kid audience facts they wouldn't most likely know about animals at the zoo the rangers visit and 'United as One' keeps in the cosplay quick changes from the ''Gokaiger'' episode it adapted for no real reason, while 'The Perfect Storm' and 'Love is in the Air' are both wholly superfluous to the season overall). It, honestly, leads to the question of what exactly the writers were thinking when it came to adapting ''Gokaiger'', since they only had 20 episodes to do so[[note]]which, while not easy, wasn't impossible, especially considering that Toei made sure that each series that had been adapted got a tribute episode, plus several tributes could've been handled together - i.e., ''Mighty Morphin'', ''Zeo'', and ''Dino Thunder'' could've been combined into a Tommy episode[[/note]] but still had two worthless filler episodes, and one later episode was dedicated to wrapping up the few dangling plot threads from ''Megaforce'' left over, with Vrak coming back after not being in the show for 15 episodes that adapted the remaining ''Goseiger'' footage left over. By the time the final battle comes along, it feels less like something the whole season has been building up to and more like the writers realized that they were hitting the episode limit imposed by Nickelodeon and decided to just go into the show's endgame.
84	* PortmanteauCoupleName: As the fandom tends to generally ship the Red and Pink Rangers together, Troy and Emma are referred as Tremma. Another popular ship to come from this season is Giemma, a combination of Gia and Emma.
85	* TheScrappy:
86	** Troy has so far gone down as one of the worst Red Rangers of all time due to him having absolutely no personality. (Ironically, his similarly-disliked Goseiger counterpart Alata was hated for having ''too much'' personality. Marvelous came off as not having much of a personality most of the time too, but he was written to be generally reserved in his emotions most of the time for understandable reasons, plus had the badass credentials to make up for it, as well as came off as a good leader and an actor who did more than just stood there stoically when the scene wasn't focused on him, while Troy is the result of a first time nonunion actor combined with poor scripts and, most likely, mediocre direction.) This wasn't helped when, in "Spirit of the Tiger," he became a [[JerkassBall massive jackass out of nowhere]] for insisting that "A ranger must never let go of his weapons". (That wasn't even in the ''Gokaiger'' episode either. Marvelous was more of the type of leader to, more often than not, let his teammates figure their problems out on their own, only helping when needed. Maybe it's a result of the writers injecting some personality into him, as some of the actors wanted, but not understanding what kind of personality was required and where.) The other four Rangers are exempt for at least having more personality and development than Troy (especially Emma and Noah), and Robo Knight and Orion seem to be avoiding it altogether.
87	--> '''Linkara''': "Here's a little game. Which of these two characters in this scene is the robot?" (In a scene between Troy and ''Robo Knight'')
88	** Gosei as well, since he only exists to tell the Rangers when they have a new power up.
89	* SeasonalRot: While people agree that ''Megaforce'' was passable, ''Super Megaforce'' was where things started to fall apart, with the main villain being a whiny, obnoxious royal brat, the anniversary episodes feeling slapped together, and the pacing either going too slow or too fast. The "Vrak is Back" two-parter is arguably the only real highlight of the season, and that was dealing with a villain from the mediocre but still tolerable previous season.
90	* SoOkayItsAverage:
91	** This seems to be the general opinion of fans as the first half of ''Megaforce'' draws to a close- while everything's a step up from ''Samurai'', it's still not up to the standards of previous seasons outside of some impressive visual effects.
92	** The Extended Cut of the Finale is considered this thanks to that while still having the problems that affected the series, it feels a bit more complete than the TV version.
93	* SpecialEffectFailure:
94	** In ''Gokaiger'' episode 2, the all-Red morph included Gosei Red (AKA Megaforce Red); when this scene occurs in ''Super Megaforce'' episode 1, Saban used mediocre green screening to replace it with the ''Operation Overdrive'' Red Ranger. In fact, when the others morphed, they had symbols show up based on the team. Jake didn't.
95	** In the Super Megaforce episode "Vrak is Back, Part 2", [[spoiler: While the special effects artists and editors tried to use original footage with Gosei Ultimate in orer to blast the drill, Gosei Ultimate is way too small in proportion to the drill.]]
96	** Just before the Legendary Battle gets underway, Karone briefly appears as she did back when she was Astronema... which is achieved by superimposing a still photograph of Creator/MelodyPerkins wearing a purple wig over the live-action footage. Not only does it feel out of place, but the effect makes it look like Karone is briefly wearing a cheap Halloween mask of her own past self.
97	** A very minor one: the ''Super Megaforce'' opening features a scene where the helmets of many past rangers are shown rapidly on screen until at it stops on the five Super Megaforce helmets. If one looks carefully, the [[Series/PowerRangersSPD SPD Red Ranger]] helmet has a weird dotted pattern on both the mouthplate and the V-shaped emblem on the forehead above the visor. This happened because they based the CG render on the helmet from the SPD Red Ranger suit used at Walt Disney World parks in the early 2000's, which had [[https://www.flickr.com/photos/10152427@N08/4308477384/ visible breathing holes all over it]].
98	** As seen in behind the scenes pictures Creator/JasonDavidFrank shared online, the MMPR Green Ranger helmet used in "Legendary Battle" is the same one seen in [[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder "Fighting Spirit"]], with the silver stripe edited away in postproduction. The edit wasn't perfect though: not only the stripe still haves a metallic sheen, but in the post-battle scene you can still see the silver stripe in the first shot. The stripe was also left in the shot of all the rangers seen towards the end of the theme song.
99	** The Titanium Ranger helmet used in the Legendary Battle has for some reason the breathing mask (which all the ''Lightspeed Rescue'' helmets had behind the visor, as seen during the morphing sequence) ''over'' the visor. And unlike the silver stripe on the Green Ranger helmet, they never fixed it in postproduction.
100	* SpoiledByTheFormat: It was pretty obvious Metal Alice would survive her fight with Robo Knight, mainly for the sole reason that she didn't explode as she fell to the ground.
101	* StockFootageFailure: As usual, reused Sentai footage doesn't always match the new version:
102	** You can tell whenever it's switched from American to Japanese footage because of the quality of video. The New Zealand footage has a richer texture to it due to having warmer color grating and filters applied. Not only that, but a lot of the Sentai footage is shot in the morning which makes it very noticeable if the American footage is shot in the afternoon. Not to mention that the Japanese ranger suits are made out of a more shiny material while the US suits aren't.
103	** In the first episode when the Rangers have their debut fight, it switched from an intact town plaza to a wrecked site with cracked concrete and crushed buildings.
104	** Whenever the Rangers use their Gosei cards, the cards all clearly still have the original text from ''Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger'' (including that title). This is probably why so much of the Rangers' arsenal keeps their ''Goseiger'' names in the first place.
105	** Similarly, the recurring footage from ''Gokaiger'''s Legend War includes heroes from ''Super Sentai'' that have never been adapted for ''Power Rangers''. Most are way in the background where they're not as noticeable or have been edited to make them less conspicuous, but "Stranger Ranger" clearly shows [[Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger Ryu Ranger]] fighting behind the Red [[Series/PowerRangersJungleFury Jungle Fury Ranger]]. Officially subverted in "Earth Fights Back" when the ''Dairanger'' suits debuted as "powers never seen before on Earth."
106	** In episode 3, after the Rangers defeat the MonsterOfTheWeek with the Megaforce Blaster, they disassemble the blaster and then run to a completely different area where they had quarantined the infected civilians. After that, when Vrak summons the zombats to [[MakeMyMonsterGrow make the monster grow]], the Rangers are suddenly right back in front of the monster's corpse, holding the assembled Megaforce Blaster.
107	** The second battle against Dragonflay (played out at the same time as the Red Ranger fights Creepox for the first time) in episode 4 still has plenty of Japanese text on signs and Japanese traffic signage.
108	** In "United We Stand," ''Sentai'' footage is used when Beezara kicks Gia and Emma across the soccer field. Before this, Troy was knocked to the ground; however, if one looks closely at where Troy was, it's very obvious that it's ''[[Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger Alata]]'' lying on the ground.
109	** Speaking of Alata, his distinctive red-and-white jacket is ''very'' noticeable in the first few seconds of the opening sequence, as seen in this [[http://www.megaforcecast.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=257&pid=4466#top_display_media screenshot]].
110	** The loss of Datas leads to a problem with Ultra Gosei Great Megazord. Eagle-eyed viewers will notice that there's a brand new Mechazord head that's just there with no explanation as to where it came from; not to mention the Zord mountings on the shoulders and the odd design on the robot's back. The card that summons it is labelled HYPER Gosei Great, due to total failure to edit the footage. The toyline at least explains the backpack away by having it store 3 Zord vehicles that carry the Sky, Land, and Sea brothers, but no such explanation exists in the show.
111	** The Robo Morpher has a lot of Japanese Hiraganas left unedited.
112	** Since this series adapted two Sentai seasons that have members that [[{{Foil}} contrast each other]] blended into the same team this is bound to happen, resulting in minor character inconsistencies, save for Robo Knight[[note]]largely because a), his character is largely unchanged from ''Goseiger'', and b), he's replaced with a different Sixth in ''Super Megaforce''[[/note]]:
113	*** Emma is a understated character while her ''Goseiger'' counterpart Eri is more hyperactive. There's times when ''Goseiger'' footage is used and the Pink Ranger is gesturing animatedly like Eri but with Emma's understated performance, causing this. Should be less apparent when ''Gokaiger'' footage is used and Emma is being played by Ahim, also more understated than Eri.
114	*** Troy has a relaxed-yet-confident stance and overall body language which really doesn't jell well with Alata, who is usually timid and has his arms clenched together like an angry child. It gets better with Marvelous's body language, though not all that well as Troy's a bit more stiff and Marvelous is always ready to battle.
115	*** Jake's ''Gokaiger'' counterpart is Don, the team's PluckyComicRelief ButtMonkey; the first episode handles this simply by passing the Green Ranger's uneasy motions as Jake's enthusiasm over his new powers. In later episodes, it becomes even more pronounced with the Green Ranger inexplicably acting like Don at times to the point of being incompetent in direct combat, even though Jake has never been depicted as ''that'' goofy of a character. Not only that, but in transition from ''Goseiger'' to ''Gokaiger'', he went from the muscle of the group to the trickster. This can be mitigated by his soccer skills giving him great agility but doesn't explain the sillier moments.
116	*** Don's goofy mannerisms as Gokai Green are evident in the fight scenes so it's very uncanny and awkward how Jake exhibits those behaviors in combat.
117	*** Noah's ''Gokaiger'' counterpart is Joe, the team's master swordsman. While Don would fit better for Noah as does Joe to Jake, the reasoning for Noah being a master swordsman is to improve himself and be better at helping the team out. However, this is problematic on another layer due to Noah's ''Goseiger'' counterpart, Hyde, being a bow-wielder, resulting in Noah going from one extreme in combat to the other without any explanation. This is a little funny due to the fact that Joe...well, let's just say that he won't be winning any marksmanship competitions.
118	*** Gia's body language usually fits her Gokaiger counterpart Luka, but not so much with Moune whose gestures reflects her childishness and over-energetic personality, something Gia is not shown doing out-of-suit, even when around her best friend Emma.
119	*** Orion's ''Gokaiger'' counterpart, Gai, is a very hyperactive Sentai fanboy who was always energetic, whereas Orion's personality would be more akin to that of Joe Gibken/Gokai Blue[[note]]ironically, of the core team, Joe is the only one who Orion's backstory ''doesn't'' have elements of[[/note]], meaning that whenever ''Gokaiger'' footage is used, it raises questions about Orion's mental state. There's also the fact that Orion is taller than Gai, and due to the inexplicable decision not to film any original footage whenever Orion uses Super Megaforce Gold, whenever Orion uses the aforementioned powerup, he will inexplicably shrink about a foot.
120	** The third commercial in [[http://youtu.be/P2OalZlGu0E?t=50s this video]] contained footage that was obviously lifted straight from a TV-Nihon fansub release of Gokaiger. A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vbav2X7lsY newer version]] of this commercial fixed this problem.
121	** Episode 2 of ''Super Megaforce'' just had Japan as the place where the rocket was launched when clearly the show takes place in the United States, or New Zealand in terms of where it was shot. This was because of the unedited transition between the local shots and the pool of stock footage that was found in ''Gokaiger'' (though this is far from the first time this has happened in the franchise's history).
122	** During "Earth Fights Back", it's pretty obvious that the footage of legendary ranger teams that Noah is looking at isn't from the series said teams come from, but rather, the Gokai Changes of said teams - to be specific:
123	*** The changes into ''Jungle Fury'' and ''SPD'' do not have a blue ranger[[note]]this did get used in the next episode[[/note]].
124	*** The Jungle Fury Rhino Ranger is shown with a skirt, despite the fact that said ranger is male[[note]]this is due to the fact that the key for Geki Chopper, the Sentai counterpart to the Rhino Ranger, was used by Gokai Pink[[/note]].
125	*** The ''Operation Overdrive'' full-team morph doesn't resemble any one used in it's home series[[note]]among other things, the morph ended with the Rangers striking a pose, with the helmet's outline sparking as it solidified; the one seen here looks more akin to the one used for the Red Overdrive Ranger in the all-team Red morph at the start of ''Super Megaforce''[[/note]]. More damning, however, is the presence of the hybrid of the Gold and Silver RPM rangers, which ''never appeared in RPM''[[note]]the hybrid Gold-Silver key was used in ''Super Megaforce'', but ''Operation Overdrive'' wasn't used outside of the all-red change early in ''Super Megaforce''[[/note]].
126	** In "Silver Lining, Part 1" when Jake (as [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Galaxy Green]]) uses his Quasar Saber to disable Gorgax's shield, for a brief moment you can see the tip of the [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Green Mighty Morphin Ranger's]] Dragon Dagger hit the shield instead of the Quasar Saber's tip. [[labelnote:explanation]](This is because in the footage from ''Gokaiger'', Gokai Green was ''Zyuranger'''s [=DragonRanger=] as part of a Sixth Ranger Gokai Change.)[[/labelnote]]
127	** In "The Perfect Storm", the Legendary Megazord throws the Q-Rex into space to destroy an incoming asteroid. We then get a shot of Earth, and it's ''blatantly obvious that the Q-Rex was leaving Japan.''
128	** Another one with ''Turboranger'' occurs in "Love is In the Air", based on the first Jealoushito episode - you can make out a ''black'' Ranger key being used as the Rangers morph into ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'', which ''didn't'' have a black Ranger[[note]]technically, ''Turbo'' ''did'' have a Black Ranger, the Phantom Ranger. However, said ranger is considered more of a SixthRanger as opposed to one of the core rangers (his Sentai counterpart, the VRV Master, is actually considered more of an Extra Hero; Signalman, the Sentai counterpart of the Blue Senturion, fills the role of SixthRanger in ''Carranger''), and as the SixthRanger keys are restricted to Orion, it still stands[[/note]]. Also, for some strange reason (other than padding, that is), they kept the entire scene from episode 24 of ''Gokaiger'' where the takoyaki vendor's mother finds Jealoushito in the middle of the garbage.
129	** In ''In the Driver's Seat'', you can spot the words "Super Sentai" written on the wheels of the Turbo Falcon when it makes its debut.
130	** During Noah and Argus' final battle in ''All Hail Prince Vekar'', you can see a shot of Joe's long black hair after he hits Argus.
131	** In that same episode, during the formation of the Ultimate Legendary Megazord, you can again see "Super Sentai" on the Turbo Falcon's wheel.
132	** Despite Basco not being adapted in any form, during "Emperor Mavro", his monster form can be seen very briefly, [[https://youtu.be/gkK_sssoZEo?t=112 as shown here]][[note]]this was due to the fact that in the corresponding ''Gokaiger'' episode, Basco betrayed Damaras[[/note]].
133	* TearJerker: Orion's backstory. [[spoiler:Watching all of his friends/coworkers die and then running back to his village only to see that it's already been destroyed and that his family is gone.]]
134	** ''All Hail Prince Vekar.'' First, we learn that Vekar was always TheUnfavourite in his father's eyes. Then we have Vekar's VillainousBreakdown [[spoiler: as his Zord explodes]]. Finally, the end of the episode when [[spoiler: Damaras lifts his charred corpse from the wreckage]], vowing to avenge him.
135	** [[spoiler:Robo Knight's ''death''. Notable that not only did he die in a HeroicSacrifice to save Orion, but he's one of only three main Rangers in the franchise to die in action (the other two being Kendrix and the original Magna Defender). However, for some reason he's BackForTheFinale.]]
136	* ThemePairing: Troy/Emma and Jake/Gia are shipped because they share the elements Sky and Earth respectively.
137	* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The adaptation of Gokaiger being reduced to the costumes being used as a ''SuperMode of sorts'' rather than making an all new team, the elimination of the pirate theme and the almost complete omission of tribute episodes caused a strong rejection in the fandom. Even if ''Gokaiger'' were adapted in much the same way as ''Shinkenger'' was (mostly just translating the Japanese ''Sentai'' scripts into English with terminologies changed), with obvious things needed to make sure it didn't suffer some of the same problems ''Super Megaforce'' did, it would've been ''much'' better than what ended up happening here.
138	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
139	** Gosei has been less a character and more a plot device, only speaking up every few episodes to tell the Rangers of some new power-up they've acquired. The fact that he apparently has history with ''Zordon'' was never expanded on.
140	*** Early on, Gosei states that he "took a form that the rangers are more comfortable with", suggesting that the giant head he appeared in was not his true form, this form was never shown.
141	** From his Nickelodeon character bio, it's mentioned that Troy had a tough upbringing; we never hear of this or any of the other character's home lives whatsoever. For that matter, we barely hear much about the rest of the Rangers' lives outside of their heroics, which has been listed as one of the major downfalls of this season.
142	** Orion. He has an interesting back-story and personality. And yet, he's very much underutilized throughout the season, so much that even his actor complained about it.
143	** In general, one could argue that this applies to ''all'' of the rangers sans Robo Knight due to the lack of character development - while the first season could at least be excused due to the fact that it's [[Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger source material]] also faced the same problem, it got even worse with ''Super'', since the change in fighting styles due to a new source material being adapted could've been used to explain how the rangers were developing. Not to mention that ''Goklaiger'' had a good amount of character development for all 6 of its heroes, as well as character focus episodes to adapt and base plots around.
144	** In a sense, it could be argued that a few seasons of ''Power Rangers'' in general got the shaft when it came to their usage in the show. That is to say, these seasons not only never received a full-team morph, but also got barely any usage from the Ranger(s) that morphed into them. In particular, ''In Space'', [[note]]Which only made a handful of brief appearances at different points thanks to Orion, Troy, Jake and Gia.[[/note]] ''Lightspeed Rescue''[[note]]Which got ''no'' usage in the show aside from Noah morphing into the Blue Lightspeed Ranger... in the extended cut of the final battle.[[/note]], ''Time Force''[[note]]Having a single appearance of Time Force Pink, courtesy of Emma in one episode.[[/note]] and ''Operation Overdrive'' [[note]]The Red Overdrive Ranger made a handful of appearances. One in the All-Red morph, another in a later battle as one of Troy's morphs and another as one of Troy's morphs in the final battle.[[/note]] got very little screentime, and none of these seasons got a full team morph, despite full team morphs for them existing in the Sentai. To fans of these seasons, the decision to use Sentai-only suits in the show was even more insulting, given how they could have been swapped out for more time for the above seasons. The fact that all of the Sentai seasons that got adapted into ''Power Rangers'' got usable tribute episodes in ''Gokaiger'' gives them no excuse as to not have used them in ''Super,'' or shoot original footage to use instead since the costuming department for the franchise recreated ''all'' of the suits from those seasons for the ''Legendary Battle'' episode to film new shots of them all together.
145	** The Ranger Keys themselves go unexplained in 40 episodes as to how Gosei and Tensou have them and what their purpose was ultimately for. In ''Gokaiger,'' they were shown to be the energies of the rangers' powers manifested into mini-statue/key form and the original owners could take them back and use them at any time with their morphers. Here? No explanation, even though they had one baked into the franchise's mythology. Clearly the keys are manifestations of the powers from the Morphin Grid since it's been shown to be used in similar ways in past seasons, but this is never acknowledged. Nor is it ever addressed how the ''Megaforce'' characters can use copies of the original rangers' powers with no side effects, since Trent in ''Dino Thunder'' was shown to be suffering side effects of his powers being duplicated into his evil duplicate.
146	** Tommy Oliver is shown arriving at the Legendary Battle as the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger, a form he has not wielded since it was lost to him during the original series. And yet, in spite of this milestone, the writers apparently never thought to resurrect the Zord that goes with these powers: the popular mega-fan favourite Dragonzord.
147	** Furthermore, it's shown that the original rangers are "watching" the new team. This is not delved into either. This is a bit of a reminant of the fact that ''Gokaiger'' at points implied and infered that some of the past rangers were keeping tabs on the Gokaigers and knew about them when they ran into each other mainly through Aka Red's mysterious guidance to teach the Gokaigers how valuable Earth and Humans are, as well as turn them into a proper ''Super Sentai'' team. Here, however, this is unexplained and actually brings up some PlotHoles that ''Gokaiger'' managed to avoid, since there's absolutely no explained reason why the past rangers don't just help out the current ones in any way before the final battle.
148	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot:
149	** Why, oh why, did ''Super Megaforce'' not have an [[Main/AnAssKickingChristmas Asskicking]] ChristmasSpecial using the Gokai Christmas suit, with Orion combining Troy and Jake's Super Megaforce keys into a hybrid Christmas Ranger? For context, ''Super Megaforce'' is the only one of the eight Neo Saban seasons not to have a Christmas special. StockFootage may have been considered unusable[[note]]Gokai Christmas was used alongside a ''Series/BattleFeverJ'' Gokai Change.[[/note]], but that's still no excuse for not shooting original footage of the Christmas Ranger.
150	** "The Grass is Always Greener... or Bluer" is an adaptation of ''Gokaiger's'' FreakyFridayFlip episode but between Jake and Noah rather than Don (Gokai Green) and Luka (Gokai Yellow). One could argue that ''Super Megaforce'' should have stuck with Jake swapping with Gia (there certainly would have been more comedy with Jake being in the body of the girl he crushes on) while, ironically, ''Gokaiger'' should have switched the (initially) cowardly and weak Don with the honorable and strong Joe (Gokai Blue).
151	** In "Vrak is Back", Vrak captured Orion and harnessed "the Sixth Ranger power", corrupting it for his own purposes. This would have been the ''perfect'' time to add ''Gokaiger'' footage where a villain brought every one of the Sixth Ranger keys to life and forced them to fight the core five ''en masse''. And yes, the fighting included Robo Knight, whom Vrak corrupted in the episode. Not only would this have been one of the most epic fights in ''Power Rangers'' history, but they seemed to have done all the work in setting it up, even having Vrak meet them in a quarry that looked just like the one in the Gokaiger footage!
152	** Given that ''Samurai'' was the previous series and they were adapting ''Goseiger'' first, you'd think they'd adapt the Goseiger-Shinkenger crossover, especially since it wouldn't have caused a continuity snarl with ''Samurai'''s ending (either as the tribute episode to ''Samurai'' or as a crossover between ''Samurai'' and ''Megaforce''), but nope.
153	** Given the fact that Gosei mentioned Zordon was his mentor earlier, you'd expect them to try and expand upon this and give some more backstory on Zordon and Gosei.
154	** The Legendary Battle itself was hyped for two years...and it lasted not even 5 minutes and was against foot soldiers that weren't destroyed yet. Even worse was that the majority of the battle was already seen in the ''first episode'' of the ''Megaforce'' half. The extended version is at least somewhat better, as while not a lot is added to the fight, the lead in is enhanced a bit to add to the weight of it with an extended shot of the old Rangers prepping to don their helmets for battle and Karone a OneSceneWonder line, as well as making the army Mavro's backup plan rather than just being random, but it's still far less awesome than it should have been.
155	** The "New Powers" thing could have been a great way to flesh out the Power Rangers universe. We know from the first series that there were teams BEFORE the original group, other planets have their own Ranger Teams, and Andros makes a clear distinction between a planetary Ranger team and one acting in space implying space fairing Ranger teams not tied to any specific planet exist, so it would've been a great time to flesh them out and actually show that. But they're never explained, barely even getting ''names''. And half the time when they ''do'' get names, they're completely inconsistent (with "Blitz" being used for both the Maskman AND Changeman suits, the latter itself initially being referred to as "Legendary Dragon", and the Maskman suits later referred to as "Lightning"). And if they really ''couldn't'' flesh out said teams for whatever reason, they could've at least said they were Andresian teams, not only explaining why the Legendary Silver Morpher would be present on Andresia, but also adding more emphasis on how uphill a battle the rangers were facing - another world had it's own set of teams, and was still conquered by the Armada. The comics at least provide a sort of AuthorsSavingThrow by giving the Fiveman suits to a team of Xybrian Rangers and showing the Prism Rangers (the Flashman suits) as a team of non-Earth-based Rangers that Astronema defeated in the past, thus leaving the door open for other unadapted teams to appear.
156	** Orion is shown to be able to combine sixth ranger keys - first we see him combine the keys for the Gold and Silver Rangers from RPM, and later we see him combine all the keys...yet we never see him combine the 2 ranger keys of Tommy's 2 ''Mighty Morphin'' keys.[[note]]This is more of a result of no such suit existing in the Sentai and the series being rather barebones in terms of original footage without pre-existing assets[[/note]]
157	** The show never took advantage of the thematic transformations with absences from both past seasons (''In Space'', ''Lightspeed Rescue'', ''Time Force'', or ''Operation Overdrive'') and all-motif themed rangers outside of the all-red change in episode 1 or the changes from the Legendary Battle against Emperor Mavro[[note]]although the change into the teams of the last recovered 5 greater powers is used, it was modified so that the Red ''Mighty Morphin'' ranger appears instead of [[Series/TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan VulEagle]][[/note]]. Not helping is the decision to limit Orion to SixthRanger keys for no explained reason, meaning that changes such as an all-SixthRanger or all-silver[[note]]although this change wouldn't have included the Titanium Ranger[[/note]] were not usable.
158	** Despite ''Megaforce'' clearly trying to hearken back to the ''Mighty Morphin'' days, there is not an episode that takes place in Angel Grove. Having the rangers visit the town (or better yet, having Angel Grove be where ''Megaforce'' was set) would've been a perfect way to feature older rangers, since given Angel Grove's history with Rangers, they'd surely have some kind of museum for Power Rangers by now; plus, given that it's been so long since we've seen any of the city (with the anniversary special ''Overdrive'' did only feature a warehouse in Angel Grove), it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine that there was a major overhaul of everything (not to mention not everything in Angel Grove was shown).
159	** During the finale of ''Megaforce'', the episode ends with Vrak seemingly disappearing, and Metal Alice and the Messenger being the last villains from that season the Rangers defeat. It should've instead ended with the Rangers fighting Vrak one last time, and sacrificing their powers to destroy him - not only would this justify them getting new Morphers in-universe, but it would've also meant that the show wouldn't have to go back to ''Goseiger'' footage in the second half of ''Super Megaforce'' to resolve his fate.
160	** The first villains of ''Goseiger'' are [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Insectoids]], the second are [[Series/PowerRangersWildForce pollution born monsters]], and [[Series/PowerRangersZeo the third are robots]], all three the species villain groups from previous series in an anniversary season. However, no connection to any past villain group.
161	* ValuesDissonance: Episode 17 of ''Megaforce'' has Metal Alice blow up a train bridge to hijack a train, only telling the rangers that she'll disrupt transportation. Compared to Japan and Europe, the majority of trains in the US are used for transporting industrial needs, and trainspotting is not as big a hobby in the US, meaning that what would be a major blow to transportation in either of the former 2 areas would, at most, be a mild annoyance to the people whose route was hijacked in the US. Even the episode itself somewhat lampshades this, since not only do the rangers check airports and harbors before train stations[=/=]bridges, the plot is resolved by the halfway point. Other than that the corresponding ''Goseiger'' episode (38) saw the TV debut of the mech that had been used in TheMovie...that did not appear outside of said movie and said episode, there was no reason to adapt it ''at all''.
162	* WhatTheHellCostumingDepartment: The use of the ''Sentai''-only ranger suits from the ''Gokaiger'' footage in general, but probably the most eggregious thing about it is that in the second to last episode of ''Super Megaforce''; "The Wrath", rather than shoot a new fight scene with five suits from adapted seasons, the producers had the costuming department recreate the suits for Five Yellow, Change Griffon, Blue Mask, and the female variant of Green Flash for pick-up shots with the MMPR Red/Tyranno Ranger suit. You can tell they're not the original ''Sentai'' suits as well due to the materials they're made out of not being the shiny materials Toei uses, instead being the material the New Zealand team uses. It only reaffirms the lazy feeling of the season that they did that.
163	* TheWoobie: [[LastOfHisKind Orion.]] His planet, family, and everything he knew were wiped out by the Armada making it real easy to sympathize with him.

Context YMMV / PowerRangersMegaforce
