History Trivia / PowerRangersMegaforce

* ExecutiveMeddling: A large amount of the problems this show faced can ultimately be traced back to this - the writers recognized that ''Goseiger'', the first show to be adapted, was largely considered a dull show, and wanted to get to the elements in the much more desirable ''Gokaiger''. However, Saban's contract with Toei strictly forbade them from outright skipping ''Goseiger'' (which became extremely ironic given what happened in [[Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge the next series]])[[note]]while the contract didn't require them to use all the footage, it ''did'' require them to use some, so Saban would've had to have adapted the ''Goseiger'' Megazord footage or the suit footage at the bare minimum if they had wanted to adapt ''Gokaiger''; since pulling a Thunderzords with the Samurai rangers and switching over to the ''Goseiger'' mechs in ''Super Samurai'' wasn't an option, they had no choice but to use the ''Goseiger'' fight scenes and mech footage[[/note]], and producer Jonathan Tzachor forbade the writers from expanding upon the characters, and outright rejected many of the ideas listed below in WhatCouldHaveBeen[[note]]as shown in ''Wild Force'', where he had direct control, Tzachor seems to favor the idea of [[ShotForShotRemake shot-for-shot remakes]] as opposed to [[PragmaticAdaptation pragmatic adaptations]]; while this idea works fine when adapting a sci-fi Sentai like ''Timeranger'', ''Goseiger'', a fantasy-themed Sentai, wouldn't be as easy to pull this off with, and while ''Gokaiger'' was more tech-heavy, that series was heavily rooted in Sentai mythology[[/note]]. The decision to adapt ''Gokaiger'' in the second half as opposed to stretching ''Goseiger'' out over 2 years (like what happened in ''Samurai'', and what would happen in ''Dino Charge'' and ''Ninja Steel'') and adapting ''Gokaiger'' separately was made so that Saban could catch up with Sentai[[note]]had it not been for Nickelodeon requiring them to limit each season to 20 episodes, or had Saban taken ''Rangers'' to another network, Saban would only have been 2 years behind at most, and it's possible that the adaptation of ''Gokaiger'' would have aired at the same time as ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger'' aired in Japan; however, due to the aforementioned rule, ''Megaforce'' began airing right before ''Kyoryuger'', which was adapted into ''Dino Charge'', began airing, meaning that Power Rangers was ''3'' sentai behind by the time ''Super Megaforce'' aired it's last episode; had it not been for ''Kyoryuger'' being seen as more marketable than ''Series/TokumeiSentaiGobusters'' and Saban opting to skip the latter for the former, Saban would've possibly wound up being even further behind[[/note]]. Of course, this was somewhat problematic - aside from the fact that not all of the ''Goseiger'' plot threads that had been adapted into ''Megaforce'' had been resolved (hence the reason why midway through ''Super Megaforce'', they go back to using ''Goseiger'' footage to resolve the plot revolving Robo Knight and Vrak, despite the fact that the season had pretty much abandoned using ''Goseiger'' footage in favor of ''Gokaiger'' footage at that point), tone-wise, ''Goseiger'' and ''Gokaiger'' were two vastly different series, the core 5 didn't use the same colors, resulting in one of the rangers (Jake) changing color (going from a black ranger in ''Megaforce'' to a green ranger in ''Super Megaforce'') when the footage changed[[note]]ironically, there was a green ranger in ''Goseiger'', but due to the fact that he was a PosthumousCharacter in that series, he was not adapted in ''Megaforce''[[/note]], and the apparent need to burn up as much sentai footage as possible[[note]]combined, ''Goseiger'' and ''Gokaiger'' had 101 episodes worth of footage that could've been adapted - if Saban had given the 50 episodes of ''Goseiger'', and the 51 episodes of ''Gokaiger'' the treatment they gave ''Samurai'', ''Megaforce'' would've ended in ''2017'', so some episodes had to been dropped regardless. Of the two, ''Gokaiger'' was seemingly made to be as easy to adapt as possible, due to many of the tribute episodes being for seasons that were adapted into ''Rangers'' seasons, and many of the mech configurations the Gokaigers obtained from said tribute episodes were the ones that got the most use, whereas ones from tribute episodes to unadapted series like ''Series/ChoujuuSentaiLiveman'' or ''Series/HikariSentaiMaskman'' weren't present in adapted series tributes; the majority of ''Goseiger'', which was made when no future adaptations had been announced, on the other hand, wasn't[[/note]].

* ActorAllusion: During the Legendary War, [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Leo]] (played by Danny Slavin) rescues a little boy's dog. What's the boy's name? Danny.

** [[http://awwman.com/nps/main/2015/05/episode-191-interview-with-ciara-hanna/ This interview with Ciara and Cameron cuts pretty deep into their feelings on the season]]. Even they were immensely disappointed with the Legend War, with Cameron saying "it does not deserve to belong on a Power Rangers boxset".

** And both Channel 5 and Nicktoons dropped the show after that. Super Megaforce instead airs on Pop, which is owned by the same company as Kix, which airs old seasons (Currently, they air all seasons between ''Time Force'' (Season 9) and ''RPM'' (Season 17). There was only a week's notice of this, and therefore a lot of viewers will likely miss the show due to not expecting it to be on that channel. It's also not on cable and isn't available nationwide on Freeview. ScrewedByTheNetwork and BadExportForYou come to mind.[[note]]Pop has been available nationwide on Freeview since 2016, two years after it was available on the service in selected areas. It has also returned to cable since August 2016 after a five-year absence.[[/note]]

* ShownTheirWork: The stances that Emma and Jake learn while training with Casey are at least based on the stances of Phoenix and Snake Kung Fu, which are their animal spirits.

*** It hurts worse because the [[PowerRangersDinoCharge season]] Judd got his hands ended up skipping ''Series/TokumeiSentaiGobusters''. Let's just say Irony is a [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]].
** According to writer James W. Bates, there had been plans for Vrak and Vekar to interact, along with Robo Knight returning earlier in Super Megaforce.

*** Similarly, in ''Time Force'' and ''Mighty Morphin'',, Eric and Tommy were supposed to die like their sentai counterpart, but the decision was made not to kill him. Had he been killed off like in the Sentai, it's possible that Orion might have received the Sixth Ranger powers from them in a dream, similar to the source material[[note]]in the source material, Gai received them from the deceased [[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Abarekiller]], but Naoto and Burai were also present, albeit with no speaking lines[[/note]].

** And in the UK, Megaforce's premiere on Nickelodeon was delayed so much that it still hasn't started, and now ChannelFive is going to be doing the UK premiere instead. Again, the reason why Nick let this happen is unknown.

** Casting sheets suggested that when making Super Megaforce, there were plans to adapt Basco (and presumably Sally) and the Greater Powers from Gokaiger in the form of a character named Silas and items named the Zaferia Stones. If he had been adapted, the footage where the team would do full-team morphs into [=LightSpeed=] Rescue and In Space to fight against him could have been used. Not to mention one of the examples under the "TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot" example on the YMMV page, regarding the battle where Basco brings all the Sixth Ranger Keys to life, could have been used. Ironically enough, if the Zaferia stones had been used, they would have had to have focused more on the Zaferia stones of the pre-Zyuranger teams (and possibly the PR version of the Dairangers)[[note]]assuming they still kept the pre-Zyuranger teams[[/note]], since Basco never got his hands on a greater power of a Sentai that was adapted into Power Rangers[[note]]he did attempt to, but none of his attempts were successful - the only powers he was able to successfully obtain were those of the ''DengekiSentaiChangeman, ChoushinseiFlashman, HikariSentaiMaskman, TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan'', and the ''ChikyuuSentaiFiveman''[[/note]]. Instead, it seems that Vrak was chosen to fill his role instead, and as a result, they ended up wasting one of the easiest methods of paying homage to what's regarded as one of the best Power Rangers series...

** ''Power Rangers'' found itself slipping further and further behind the ''Sentai'' source material (as of this writing, ''Rangers'' is roughly three seasons behind). Furthermore, the next seasons in line to be adapted were ''Tensou Sentai Goseiger'', a rather mediocre season, and ''Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger'', a 35th anniversary milestone celebration. Although ''Gokaiger''[='=]s 35th anniversary would dovetail nicely with the 20th anniversary of ''Power Rangers'', Saban was apparently not allowed to simply skip ''Goseiger'' and go straight to ''Gokaiger''. In an attempt to square the circle and catch up to ''Sentai'', Saban decided to fold together the two series, starting with ''Goseiger'' for ''Megaforce'' and moving to ''Gokaiger'' for the second half of the season, ''Super Megaforce'' to line up the respective anniversaries.

* DawsonCasting: Not a single actor whose age is known is an actual teenager; Ciara Hanna (Gia) and John Loudermilk (Noah) are 21, Andrew Gray (Troy) is 25, and Christina Masterson (Emma) is 23 (though some sources state that she's 29). Azim Rizk's (Jake) age is 23, but he's the only one who looks like he could pass for a teenager.

** As noted by [[WebVideo/HistoryOfPowerRangers Linkara]], there were many plans that were scrapped due to [[ExecutiveMeddling Jonathan Tzachor vetoing them]] - for example, Troy was originally going to be TheChosenOne[[note]]he was going to be linked to the Morphin Grid, and his infamous [[Anime/DragonBallZ Super Saiyan Punch]] was going to be part of his powers; similarly, Robo Knight would be linked to him as well[[/note]], and Mr Burley was originally going to be replaced by a Ranger Alumni[[note]]specifically, the plans were for David Yost to come back and play Billy, acting as a mentor to Billy[[/note]].

** Speaking of ''Gokaiger'', much like with Creator/MachikoSoga, had Richard Genelle not [[AuthorExistanceFailure died of a heart attack in 2008]], it's possible that he would have returned to reprise his role, and we would have seen the actual Ernie run Ernie's Brain Freeze, instead of a character named Ernie.

** In the corresponding ''Gokaiger'' episode that ''A Lion's Alliance'' was adapted from, Gao Red is the returning cast member. As that episode was adapted, it's possible that at one point, there were plans for Richard Medina, Cole's actor, to reprise his role[[note]]Cole had played Dekar in ''Samurai'', so he was available, and at the time, he was not facing legal problems[[/note]]

** Many fans have been utterly vocal over the fact that a number of former Rangers are not coming back for Super Megaforce, mostly due to the fact that they weren't asked or they declined the invitation. Among those who aren't coming back are David Yost (declined because of how he felt the invitation was an insult because it was the same as everyone else's and felt that they should at least have apologized for harassing him during filming of ''MMPR''), Walter Jones (Out of support for David in regards to how he was treated), Steve Cardenas (declined due to the low pay for the brief cameo, which is a reason many others declined), Rhett Fisher (invited, then uninvited due to budget constraints), and almost everyone from the Disney era (most of them were never tapped) and others still were adamant about saying their issue wasn't specifically money, but other extenuating circumstances (Valerie Vernon wanted to do it, but now has children and wasn't given enough time to prepare arrangements to allow her to make the trip to New Zealand. Erin Cahill also wanted to return, but had to refuse because ''Rangers'' is a non-union production and she is currently a SAG member.) Amy Jo Johnson was also contacted, but her agent didn't give her the invitation because it was the same as everyone else's. Creator/JohnnyYongBosch was also contacted and he responded, but they never replied back. Christopher Khayman Lee (Andros) was contacted as well and expressed interest, but he couldn't make it either because of scheduling conflicts and because he also wasn't given enough time to prepare.

* [[WrittenByCastMember Written By Former Cast Member ]]: Jason Smith, the Red Jungle Fury Ranger, wrote a few ''Super Megaforce'' episodes (although not his own tribute episode, where he was temporary a cast member again).
