Good they're using the Ninjetti skins, they could've just given Adam his Green Zeo outfit and called it a day

That is amongst the stupidest reasons for not adapting Lupin Vs Pato.

Good they're using the Ninjetti skins, they could've just given Adam his Green Zeo outfit and called it a day Or Green Turbo for that matter. But I guess in this regard they feel he's more recognized as the black ranger despite not being the original, but didn't wanna use the Morphin' uniform as they had the Mastodon Sentry already. Also, for DMC fans, look who they have Adam use the Super Move against.

So far, the Disney Era is very hit and miss.
Ninja Storm was solid, Cam rules, I think it's a missed opportunity that they never used him again, but as discussed I guess Saban was very anti-continuity/paying returning actors. The failed attempt to reboot the universe at the start of the season was a little weak, but they dropped it soon enough.
Dino Thunder is easily one of my favorite Ranger seasons period. I'm a Tommy mark, like most kids born in '91, so it was cool seeing him mentor a team. Conner is one of my favorite Reds, Kira is one of my favorite Yellows. Ethan was great. Trent was, ehhh, mopey, he's pretty much my only dislike about the season.
SPD was super solid too. Doggie is easily one of my favorite Sixth Rangers because he's a fun mentor and his suit is dope. Bridge and Z are awesome! Sky's okay, Syd is decent and Jack's mostly fine. The whole Omega Ranger thing was too much for this show, they didn't have the time to do anything interesting with it and felt like it was there because they had footage to use. Kat and Boom are super fun. Gruum might be the coolest looking villian post-Zedd, his eyes were dope.
I enjoyed Mystic Force more than I thought I was gonna. I really liked Xander and Madison, Chip was fine, I didn't care much for Vida or Nick. Daggeron and Genji were awesome too. Clare is my favorite Alpha 5 stand in since Alpha himself. Udonna was a fun mentor. I feel like Koragg was Koragg for too long and we didn't get enough time with Leanbow as the Wolf Knight. These 32 episode seasons are too short.
I'm not digging Operation Overdrive yet, I really only like Ronny the Yellow Ranger, Mr. Hartford and Spencer.

English language versions of the new Dino Fury episodes began airing on POP yesterday. Good episode, the first of two big Izzy focused stories. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}Some of the lines were hilarious, like Mukus saying she had a 'flawless impression' of Zayto, and Slither having the "most diabolical plan I've come up with...all day".
Felt bad Izzy's class weren't given their money back by their carny coach, but at least Izzy got her friend his watch back

If were a betting man then I would say the next series they will adapt is 2020's Kiramager for the following reason: 1. It didn't have a huge core cast (Five main rangers and 1 axillary) 2. A workable gimmick (The rangers got their powers from sentient space rocks, they can even tie that in with Zeo) and 3. The Zords were mainly vehicle based. (Which is good for Hasbro as they can just reuse some of their Transformer molds to make the new toys.) Of course watch me get proven wrong and they decide to adapt 2016's Zyuohger or 2014's ToQger (A.K.A the Train series.) next.

There's been speculation the Sentai arrangements aren't even happening anymore after Dino Fury. Currently Simon's more concerned with the finishing touches to Dino Fury's post production than he is the actual future of the programme.

Kiramager makes the most sense... but the next show would likely line up with the 30th anniversary.
Would they even dare to have a crack at Zenkaiger? Given a recent power up in the show, they could easily bring back Tommy in the "Zenkaiser" role with a Dragonzord battlizer...

They wouldn't touch Zenkaiger, the team looks too different compared to a normal Super Sentai team.

They wouldn't touch Zenkaiger, the team looks too different compared to a normal Super Sentai team. It could work. Last couple of teams had robot allies so there's precedent. Maybe they could go the Titanium Ranger route of making new rangers to fill out a team. Maybe even get 4 past rangers to come back for a season. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}
Right so {Spoiler}{Spoiler} -Voice, as expected, is way off.
-uncharacteristically aggressive brute.
-Even more uncharacteristically submissive to another villain. Yes, he bowed to Fark Specter but that guy was on another level.
Yeah, they dun f***ed it up. Why even bother?

Couldn't they have used the voices from the archive footage instead for the flashbacks?
They sounded nothing like the originals

Richard Horowitz is at least still alive. Make him say some lines in his own home & email them to New Zealand.

IIRC, Kyle Higgins wanted to make a video to promote the Shattered Grid story in the comics using archival footage, but he couldn’t have access to the master versions without the BGM.

So Operation Overdrive is, not good. At the end of the day, I didn't like anything but Ronny the Yellow Ranger, Mr. Hartford and Spencer. The villains were bad, most of the Rangers were meh. I didn't like the suits. Once A Ranger was eh at best, the only thing I really liked was the Rangers they chose for the team. Just not a strong season.
In contrast, I'm digging Jungle Fury, all three main Rangers, RJ is a joy as a mentor. It's so much fun!
I've gone in deep on Lightning Collection. I'm really hoping they add some of the missing pieces of unfinished teams, they've done the Yellow Rangers dirty so far with the exception of the Zordon Era Yellows. Z and Kira are high on my wishlist.

Always saddens me just a bit being reminded what an absoloute piece of shit season overdrive is because by contrast Boukenger is a solid season...not great but miles better than its american counterpart.
And one would think atleast on paper it would be an impossible to screw up adaption....treasure hunting rangers but nope complete and utter trash.
Atleast the Boukenger theme is a bop.
