The Solar Morphers were some of the most unique creations in the Power Rangers franchise, giving much identity to Jungle Fury. Let's talk about how they came to be, and the possible reasons the were changed from their Japanese counterpart. Put on your sunglasses!

I'm happy to finally hear a real reason for the glasses morphers other than "they didn't want weapon morphers" which can be disproven in this season with the White Rangers Morpher

@Ra3_ar1adnE 15 дней назад

Tbh with you I'd say this is honestly much cooler than the sentai changers and this is coming from a sentai fan. Hell, I'd love to own a pair of those prop glasses they had in the show.

@yumin_pluto558 15 дней назад

On my end I liked the fist devices much better since I never liked the sunglasses even before I knew about sentai, I felt it was easier to mimic the transformation pose and now that I’m older and more learned I can appreciate the fact that the transformation pose is basically them asking for a match in the traditional Chinese martial arts way since this is a series based on that.

@nyhtfall1969 15 дней назад

The solar morphers were a really interesting and unique style of morpher that also helped in playing into the back to basics vibe Jungle fury is going for before this season you'd generally see some form of commicator, wrist strap or cell phone morpher. I'm honestly glad they went with their own thing instead of just using the gekichangers while they were nice and all. I always appreciate when power rangers add their own spin and come up with creative stuff of their own.

Jungle Fury came out in the time of my life where I was falling off of Power Rangers, but still aware of the new seasons, if that makes sense. So I knew Jungle Fury had come out, but never watched it. That being said, despite never watching, the suit designs for this season are some of my favorites. Probably Top 3. They looks so sick

@thegamingrookyeet6796 12 дней назад

i think that the theory for not wanting the morpher to be also a weapon could be held true it's just that jungle fury and dino charge were just made by different production companies with different opinions at those times

@HedgeOnStage 12 дней назад

That doesn’t make sense. BANDAI America had the master toy license for Jungle Fury and Dino Charge and is the decider of what toys are made and why. Until Hasbro bought it, it’s always been the same company.

@LindsayTVFilm 14 дней назад

I don't know if its just what little Sentai footage was used in Ninja Steel or if it was actually seldom used in Ninninger might have also led into the decision in Ninja Steel's case. Aoninnger's actor is left handed, which brings up the thought of how many rangers are actually left-handed and if having fewer weapon-based morphers would be better as since technically someone else does step in for 95% of all suited fights (or reuse footage in the case of Power Rangers) that the grid could partially be in control, so this can be largely ignored

@arkanamaster4961 14 дней назад

They main reason why they changed the morpher in ninja steel from the sword to the the star weapon was mainly cause the Star weapon didn’t sell well in Japan as basically was only sold cause it came with Kininger’s star, but later on in the toyline,,they sold the star on its own so it basically meant you didn’t have to buy the star weapon anymore. But then switching made it so PR fans now would want to get both.

Well sort of? Bandai still made the toys for both seasons so they probably had a play in both decisions

@roypalmer69 14 дней назад

@@arkanamaster4961 lol they also sold the jungle fury staff.

@HedgeOnStage 12 дней назад

BANDAI is the decider of what toys are made before the show is in production. Whether it’s Disney or Saban holding the franchise doesn’t matter. A lot of people don’t understand that so I’d understand if you didn’t, but BANDAI had always been the main say, as is the case for Super Sentai in Japan.

@rayhayes7701 14 дней назад

See this is another reason why I am more of a power ranger fan because I am a firm believer of you don't have to copy the sentai note for note all the time. I really don't like when Sentai Purists say it ruined this or that when it doesn't. All you are doing is just saying you don't like change. And if I may, why are you guys following the school of Johnathan Tzacher?

@arkanamaster4961 14 дней назад

I don’t think the issue is that they didn’t used the geki changers but rather how the sunglasses don’t really fit with jungle fury leaning way into the kung fu setting more. Ironically the sunglasses work in Gekiranger since they have their gear made from a sports company but Jungle fury scratched the sports company element so the sunglasses just feel out of place imo

It wasn’t the exact same concept, but it was similar. They still used the Morphin Brace, they just made a gimmick item to go along with it to make it so fans would want to buy the figures to collect them. It definitely work cause I bought nearly all the figures from BM 😂
