Keeping Sentai Stuff

Now I don't mean the actual suits but I actually mean the actual plots of either just a single episode, of multiple episodes or even the majority of the season.

How do you feel when Power Rangers does this?

I personally don't like it when they do the seasonal stuff but I'm fine with it when they do it for only a few episodes in a season.

If its good I don't mind. I don't think they should just copy Sentai just to copy Sentai. And they should create original plots where it makes sense and can be done. But if something happened in the Sentai that is adapted well in the American version , I don't mind.

I agree. My Power Rangers Snob name is more of a joke to combat the self proclaimed Sentai Snobs around here. I have no problem against Sentai. But strongly opposed to adapted it for no reason but because the Sentai did it.

I liked a lot of the stuff they brought over from Timeranger. It helped to make Time Force one of the best seasons. But there was some good original stuff too. So I like whatever is best as well.

Its great when you get stuff like Timeranger to Time Force... But when you adapt Gaoranger into Wild Force it doesn't turn out so good. The only thing saving that season was the original Master Org plot.

They always seem to get too serious when they adapt Sentai. So I don't like it. They adapted Turbo and it was funny....But too whacky to live up to MMPR. MMPR was so amazing because it was mostly original. Season 1 had a lot of sentai but it was done just right. It was such a great adaption and still did a ton of original stuff.

Power Rangers isn't Sentai. I tend to like the seasons where they don't slave to Sentai. Sometimes the Sentai plots just don't translate well to the US. Mostly due to differences in culture. That doesn't mean you can't ever import a plot. It just has to be done well and feel like PR.

The problem isn't adapting Sentai. Its just they don't have the right writers to adapt it right now. Back in the old days the old writers did it right.

I think it depends sometimes I like it when the do their own stuff, and sometimes I wish they'd use stuff from the Sentai.

For instance I like that Season 1 has a different story then Zyuranger but at the same time I wish they made Lokar Rita's boss, and had it where Rita only became evil because her son died.

That would be a good reboot for Power Rangers season 1. I don't think any of that will be in the new movie though.
