The white ranger was a personal creation of Zordon and Alpha and was shown to be labor intensive, but no explanation given what was powering it.

Which is sort of a plot hole that Ninjor's powers he gave to Tommy somehow match the suit Zordon had made. o_O

The seasons using organizations with near unlimited resources (Lightspeed Rescue and Operation Overdrive) don't really explain why they stop at 5 or 6 Rangers when three times as many would be just as helpful.

Lightspeed Rescue does sort of explain it. First they tried artificial robotic rangers, that failed. Then they began working on making extra rangers, but that proved difficult and dangerous, the Titanium Morpher was unstable and it took the bad guys to somehow fix it.

The REAL confusing one you don't bring up is Time Force. How does a law enforcement organization have ONE ranger? Who must absolutely not die coz if he does the other morphers they have (which are not assigned to anyone) won't work. So they have one ranger... And the situation where they might want to deputize more (coz that ranger is incapacitated) they won't be able to because said ranger is needed for the other rangers to morph.

Wut.

I just used those as prime examples. Time Force wasn't very clear on their relationship with the year 3000, that's where the Zords came from and had to return to refuel. The truth is that in their premise the morphers and gear was stolen by the Rangers, I'd imagine if the Red Ranger morpher got returned to Time Force properly they would have reset the settings. All that explains the limited team composition.

So the plot is again "We need to protect the mcguffins that give us super powers from the bad guys"?

Huh. So the Dino Super Charge Christmas episode is properly in continuity with the regular series finale, and happens afterwards.

It also shows that Sledge's ship has actual escape pods. That takes care of the obvious plot hole, that Heckyl/Snide easily could get away in. Of course, this also means that the guy is still out there, but also means that somehow he got separated in the new timeline. I think the actual idea was this was supposed to be before Heckyl actually touched the Dark Energem.

I'll look at the Ninja Steel thing later.

I noticed a Fearcat from Operation Overdrive in that trailer...looks like they're taking full advantage of the "galactic game show" concept for the villains to reuse old suits

Of course, Necrolai had to have escaped, considering what happened to her in MF itself.

It occurs to me that Ninja Steel will be the first PR season to not have a black or green ranger.

That costume is trying too hard.

Also, it's a green and white ranger costume mixed up, like, who's in it is obvious.

Listened to the theme on a better sound choice. Not bad. Kind of eh compared to the other 3 Saban themes. I prefer Samurai, Megaforce, and Dino Charge's.

I like the music but it says "Go, Go Power Rangers" too much. It sounds nice the first time but it loses the magic if repeated too much.

Also what were the villains supposed to be in the sentai, demons or something? Cause its funny how the main trio of baddies are supposed to be aliens yet they have obviously, visible Japanese elements in their designs

In the Sentai they were all humans who died and came back as Yokai with like one exception who may or may not be adapted into Ninja Steel/its sequel.

Also: Ninninger Galaxy.

Depends on the season.

Super Sentai is always more cavalier about killing people than Power Rangers is, or just invoking death.

Though in other ways they can also be far more... childish for lack of a better term?

[up]That's a pretty good description of Japanese media vs. American media in general, I feel.

[up] Are they ever NOT aliens? Why not just normal humans? That'd be interesting.

Weren't some human-made robots, and mutants? I don't know if Frax's Japanese version started off as human as well.
