THIS ISN'T ABOUT WHICH IS BETTER, Here's a new series where I have a general overview of certain elements in toku, next time I wanna go over more production facts with Ranger Vs. Sentai!
Honestly. I can't believe Toei and Hasbro haven't done a Sentai and Ranger team up, especially nowadays that multiverses are the Thing. Yes it could go incredibly wrong. Yes it will stir all the unwanted discourse probably mostly from the western fans of one or the other. But I'd love Sentai to recognize Rangers as a way of broadening the territory for toku and Rangers thanking Sentai for being the source of it all.
Before Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and after Super Sentai, in the late 80s, we had at least one episode, on Night Flight, called Dyna-Man, which was cracked out, including one Ranger who was a human body board.
I heard that apparently there was a mammoth and a sabertooth tiger because it was the first time Plex designed a dinosaur mecha and was afraid that a team full of dinosaurs would make the children bored?
Actually really enjoyed this. I’m very new to Super Sentai but I still found this stuff incredibly interesting. Growing up in the west during the 2000s, I had obviously watched Power Rangers, so seeing the differences and similarities between these 2 is very cool. Hope you continue this series, maybe even dabble into the series that god forgot and Black/Black RX comparison.
9:22 - Man, being a Power Rangers fan first, there used to be a time where I just didn't even consider the White Ranger suit as something radically different from the rest of the team. But now? I can't unsee that suit being completely out of place. Was just a regular ol' finding out Santa Claus isn't real moment XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD
Currently watching Dairanger..... Seeing each team member struggle with a different issue, get highlighted and grow is really satisfying. They dont get their full combined mecha until around episode 9, and it feels earned! Having an absolute blast with this series. Zyuranger was incredibly similiar in this regard as you mentioned. Glad to be able to give flowers to both the Japanese and American sentai shows And yes....if you havent read the Boom Comics for Power Rangers, I HIGHLY recommend it....IMO some of the greatest comics, greatest storylines and character development in graphic novels period!
This was a fun video to watch. I hope you do other seasons too like Gingaman and Lost Galaxt. MegaRangers and In Space. Or even dive into the Disney or Neo Saban era.
This is pretty cool, can't wait for the next episode, there's something I've been wondering. If we got the dairanger suits for season 2 of MMPR do you think we would hear Jason & Rocky say "Red Dragon Thunderzord convert to Warrior Mode now"? Just like Tommy did with the White Tigerzord since they did that in Dairanger with their counterparts?
The silly / light tone of MMPR was most likely due to influence of Zyuuranger. Had Saban based MMPR on the next sentai series (Dairanger), the tone would have been much much darker.
This looks to be a pretty fun series already! I am a lover of production history for pop culture media and this was pretty neat. My only real nitpick about Power Rangers, is that I wished it had taken itself more seriously like Zyuranger. In the age where X-Men the Animated series and Beast Wars were reigning, Power Rangers could have also had a great narrative.
That always has been a sticking point with me and I'm glad later seasons stopped the comedic elements and did just that. In Space, Lightspeed Rescue, Lost Galaxy, & even Time Force & RPM are the best in that regard.
@@Ziko577 Annoying thing about RPM is how much of a pussy the writing was and they like to avoid explicitly stating that death happened. They just dodged around the word even though people blatantly died.
Zyuranger had much more creativity and imagination. MMPR (which I wish it was called Power Rangers Dino Force) was holding itself back due to the whole "moral of the day", stupid comedy, and the high school setting. I wish MMPR (Power Rangers Dino Force) would focus a little bit more about dinosaur related things and have the dino zords as cyborgs with personalities.
Honestly for me it's just weird like...power rangers was such an important part of my childhood (specially the older seasons) that everytime i see these suits the first thing that comes to my mind is: hey look it's Jason/Tommy/Wes, TJ, Jack,.etc
well it adapts then source material by telling their own story and using sentai footage that could work with the story they want to tell in that episode
@@arkanamaster4961 yeah but it doesn't always work, remember megaforce which by looking at the suits you couldn't figure out what the motif was until you watched goseiger but I did enjoy super megaforce especially when Orion came in, I think he's pretty cool especially his backstory
You're dumb to be honest, no offense but you do know Saban need to follow some US strict guideline that's why MMPR is child friendly thus making it a worldwide hit and well known all over the world while Zyuranger is just another run and done series.
As a show I prefer Mighty Morphin Power Rangers when compared to Zyuranger. That said…I’m sick of all the damn callbacks to the show in modern PR shows! I loved Dino Fury but the Zedd stuff was definitely the weakest part of it as was the opening. It’s unnecessary and made the heroes feel worthless, and I hate it when these kinds of shows do that (the Zedd stuff)! I swear, the show runners are addicted to the original MMPR…
Honestly, I don't think Zyuranger in general is the best Sentai show. It has a weird obsession with kids of the week which means that a big chunk in the middle where we don't have a whole lot going on.
I heard it’s also very based in Christianity? Which is not inherently a bad thing but it confuses me becuz why? Doesn’t Japan have their own religion anyways…
It is about which is better can we stop with this sesame st stuff? US version was watered down cuz Kyoryu was too real. Even with DBZ Japanese has been better hands down! More substance more believable more real period. The American version had its moments Jason n Trini may they Rise In Power were 2 bright spots. I wish Thuy would've been apart of Kyoryu she n Mei together wouldve fit perfectly.
@@Marcosatsu Exactly what I said. I get you said it's not about that but psychologically it is. Point being the original Japanese version is 1000x better then the US version. The Japanese version has more substance in its stories, the rangers are more relatable, and their origin story makes more sense. It reminds me of what they wanted to do with the Eternals movie. Even the kids swear n talk back which is real life. They bleed but learn important life lessons. The US version is sesame st compared to that. Do you not know what sesame st is? Ok how bout this analogy. The US version is rated G PG maybe compared to the PG13 R rated style of Japanese media. If we got that version instead of dogma dumb watered down stuff, then maybe the majority of our shows n movies wouldn't be trash.
MMPR was a million times better than Zyuranger even with their low production budget, cheesyness and bad acting. For me Zyuranger is in par with Goseiger as the most boring Senrai season I have ever watched.
personally i have a soft spot for both zyuranger and goseiger, but thats probably cause they were some of my firsts but i personally never found them boring when i was a pre teen.
You ask me, that dishonor goes to Gaoranger. Wild Force told basically the exact same story yet it managed to do it in a more engaging way thanks to the characters. The characters in Gaoranger (I never got to GaoSilver’s introduction btw) are bland as hell and the plots just drag on because of it. The worst part of all this is that it came right after Timeranger, my favorite Sentai! I managed to get through Goseiger and if I ever remember which episode I stopped at (I’m not rewatching the whole series) I’ll finish Zyuranger. I’m not touching Gaoranger again anytime soon (Turboranger’s worse though)!
