So was Mac in Overdrive. As well as a future ranger. Yeeeeah, but Mack morphed. Robo Night was a more glorified Blue Senturion. All I'll say on that is wait until Beast Morphers.

Well, Megaforce and Super Megaforce were weak.
Megaforce was super bland, they straight up just skipped doing an episode for Gia. I didn't mind them saving Vrak for Super but what was going on? They had insect alien invasion, then they added toxic mutants, then robots? There's no focus.
Super Megaforce is just, frustrating because it wasted the best modern Sentai. There was no excuse to use pre-Zyu Sentai suit footage, epic laziness should have led to Nick dropping the show. They started doing tribute episodes and then just stopped after two, that was super annoying because the Casey episode was great. And again, everyone gets focus but Gia.
Then I know for a fact that there's footage of Rangers from the Legendary Battle that could've been used that they just didn't. So no Shadow Ranger, Kat Ranger, Wolf Warrior, White Mystic Ranger, Jarrod and Camille, Lauren. Would have cost them nothing to put that shot in there, the footage was there. Laziness.
Super Megaforce, I'm not super mega mad, I'm just super mega disappointed.

Battle for The Grid's story mode is a good idea in concept but had subpar execution due to spending a lot of time fighting the same foes.
Could've thrown in some Piranhatrons or Rinshi as NPC fightables instead of the Black Sentry over and over

But I guess it would have been too much space taken up where other playable characters could be for a game with the budget they had (compared to something like a Mortal Kombat or such)

I just finished Dino Charge and I thought it was great.
Every Ranger was enjoyable, even if we didn't quite get enough of Phillip, James or Zenowing.
Sledge and his crew were awesome and funny. I never saw a scene I didn't enjoy on that ship.
Heckyl and Snide was a fun dynamic. I know there's more to Heckyl's story in the comics, so I'm looking forward to jumping into that soon.
Ninja Steel is next, so I'm hoping for more Dino Charge and less Megaforce.

I'm three episodes into Ninja Steel. Cast seems fine.
I've never seen a more hideous Megazord. It's a monstrosity and I don't care if it worked in the Sentai or not. Someone go over find it and tell it that I hate it.

Someone go over find it and tell it that I hate it. That's what happens when you let Children's focus group help design your Zords. Over in Japan when trying to come up with a theme for that season Toei asked a bunch of kids stuff like "What do you think is cool?" or "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Hence why we got a Zord that is a combination of Ninja, Dragon, Dog, Train and Dump Truck. And if you think it's ridiculous looking now wait until they get their first upgrade.

Did they not learn from Toho and Jet Jaguar? Kids have terrible ideas.

When it comes to mecha monstrosities nothing has toppled what is BY FAR the worst and most incoherent mecha of all time....and it sadly comes from one of the most celebrated sentai of the modern era. And sadly alot of modern mecha has looked butt as ugly...Ryusoulger I thought looked great though and they were actual suits and could really actually move around and fight.

Someone go over find it and tell it that I hate it. Shurikenjin is supposed to be a walking shrine, with Shinobimaru sitting in the throne (or indeed other zords). Still agree with you in as far as it doesn't quite work for me.

I feel so sorry for the suit actor that dude I hope he was paid a huge bonus fee to wear that.

Yeah, didn't they call it the Gigazord?
When an Ultrazord isn't enough.
Spoilers: An Ultrazord is always enough.

Really makes you appreciate the simple, blocky design of the original Megazord. There's a reason it's considered one of the best looking.

How the hell is one supposed to move in that suit? I would assume the head piece has to be at least 40 pounds.
