I'm a few episodes into Super Samurai now.
Antonio, Mike and Emily are great. Mia's okay. I don't much like Jayden or Kevin.
The monster designs and concepts are cool, though the choice last season to use Cole's actor as an unrelated monster was odd. The pace is just a bit fast overall.
I don't hate Samurai. It's just a bitter pill to follow RPM with it.
Also, times have been tough on Bulk, huh? In 2002 he was running a beach club. Now he lives in a garage and sleeps on the ground.

Oh you poor bastard, you'll be starting Megaforce soon.

Another character I'm surprised hasn't been made playable is Koragg from Mystic Force, instead they had Udonna as the representative from it

Why have they never made an OG power rangers cartoon?
You think that would make so much money.

Disney considered animating it back when they had it, but there was a lot of internal backlash and push-back on it Toei themselves said no, basically. The contracts at the time were that PR had to be an adaptation of Sentai footage, which Disney didn't want to do, with animation being cheaper (the relocation to New Zealand was a cost-cutting measure, this isn't news). So a show made after RPM would have to be an adaptation of Shinkenger. I'm sure Disney would actually have done a better job than Power Rangers Samurai, but they were also actively sabotaging RPM anyway, because they didn't want to make that. Jetix and Bandai basically made RPM happen.

It's awfully convenient that Disney started to no longer care about Power Rangers at the same time they bought Marvel, isn't it?

Some gossip on PR from the TokuChris livestream
1. The failure of Snake Eyes at the box office has rattled Hasbro and they're uncertain about the next big tentpole for them. They're focused on the brands that are working for them, and PR is not as big a priority
2. It's looking likely another Sentai adaptation will be approved to run for the next two years. Hasbro have the rights to develop everything up to and including Ryosoulger.
3. Several animation styles have been considered for the PR cartoon in development, including something patterned off Thundercats Roar
4. JDF and Hasbro are not on good terms

So they do not (or atleast the showrunner does not) want to adapt Lupinranger or Kyuranger for reasons someone posted about earlier...rangers can't be criminals , too many rangers etc
So that leaves them with....Toqger , Zyuohger , Kiramager , Zenkaiger.
Kiramager is likely their best and quite frankly easiet bet to go with for their next adaption.
But even that is just a bit part in something needing to change...PR still has the stench on it of Neo Saban something alot of fans thought would finally be left behind once Hasbro got their full hands on it but no it is still there ....they need to change that perception and get back to that In Space , Time Force overall tone.
They have went with IMO atleast...oh this is a show in japan intended for children so it HAS to be dumbed down to being for a child and it has utterly killed this franchise , ignoring that not even sentai has ever been this dumbed down for children like PR has.

Halfway through the first season of Megaforce and ugh.
The Red Ranger can't act, at least they aren't treating him like a walking god like the Samurai Rangers with Jayden.
They should have never said Gosei was Zordon's protégé. Where's he been since Zordon died? How does he have new powers just stored up his ass every day?
They call Robo Knight a Ranger, but he's a robot, and a dick.
The only one who seems interesting is Gia the Yellow Ranger and so far, she hasn't had an episode about her.

Oh you have no idea how on the nose you are with everything....but that first one point you made though is SO MUCH more enhanced later on.

Yeah if Gosei was Zordon's protege, why didn't he appear In Space after Zordon was captured, and why did Zordon decide to put Dimitria in charge given that she was pretty useless as a mentor

Tommy has trouble understanding her, and she forces him to learn. Then eventually she just stops speaking in questions for no apparent reason. That's some petty shit.

JDF and Hasbro are not on good terms *Reads no.3* That would permanently kill the franchise Or revive it? Movies, toys, comics they keep going back to the OG Rangers. That was over 25 years ago. Ever since then when they do a new season of the Japanese series they all just look like dollar rip offs of the originals. People want Jason, Billy, Kimberly, Trini, and Zack. Then Tommy to come in wreck fools. Once they started changing all the characters, Zords, costumes, villains, and added a freaking kid. That’s when it all went to garbage. I know it’s live action and not a cartoon but it was like replacing the turtles with those weird toad guys.

They call Robo Knight a Ranger, but he's a robot So was Mac in Overdrive. As well as a future ranger. EDIT: And even if they were one episode only, there was that robot team from Lightspeed.
