Power Rangers Megaforce: What Happened? 

You know a season is bad when people stop watching and go back to watching Operation Overdrive. I regret nothing.

I don't blame the actors for Megaforce and super Megaforce, I heard they weren't pleased with the stories and begged for better ones. The problem in general was trying too hard to be like mmpr

Honestly, the biggest problem is that Power Rangers is on Nick.

My thoughts on Super Megaforce in three words: Just watch Gokaiger.

The sad thing about the whole line by tiki zordon about "awakening when the earth is in danger" is that if he had added "and there is no current ranger team to defend it" or something along those lines then people wouldn't have had such a majorly harsh judgement against him to start. Granted he would have earned

It really speaks volumes when Troy acts more Robotic than Mack.(A red ranger who was actually a Robot!)

It's funny how Megaforce made Samurai better by comparison.

What makes Super Megaforce so bad for me, aside from the fact that it failed as an anniversary season, is how it amazingly wasted footage from a far superior show - Gokaiger. You can feel the passion, respect and effort the producers put into that show, and the past Sentai's cameos actually served to develop the main characters, each of whom was already lively and interesting on their own. The Gokaigers started off as anti-heroes (selfish space pirates) but gradually grew into genuine protectors of the Earth, albeit retained their pirate traits. Even better? They actually chose to protect the Earth instead of being chosen to protect it, and it made the show even more meaningful. People can do good deeds without having to be some 'chosen ones'.

The legendary battle was underwhelming. Troy and Orion practically destroy the entire fleet by themselves and then the team is to tired to destroy the most basic enemies, so the other rangers have to step in.

From what I understand, the guy who played Troy was actually well aware on how Super Megaforce didn’t make sense. So maybe it’s not necessarily the actors’ fault, it’s the poor directing choices that were made. Am I right?

This season was bad but what made it worst was that it was supposed to show the legacy of power rangers.

Big daddy Jaden with his god complex might as well just take over the team

The saddest thing of all about Samurai/Megaforce/SuperMegaForce is that the Original Super Sentai Series (Shinkenger/Goseiger/Gokaiger) were AMAZING! And whose TERRIBLE idea was it to take like 90 episodes of Goseiger/Gokaiger and condense it into 40? If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend watching the originals!!

What makes Troy Worse is the fact that one of his Sentai counterparts is Captain Marvelous. CAPTAIN MARVELOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the best Sentai Red Rangers in history!!! Wtf?! Excuse my language

Did anyone else get pissed off when in the final battle, they’re like, “Man I feel so excited I don’t even need to go super mega!” That pissed me off, since they could barely do shit without it

Even an Android like Mack from Operation Overdrive had more personality than Troy

Noah was a better red ranger than the actual red ranger in this season xd

Its so dissapointing because the Sentai equivalent of Super Megaforce is so awesome.

Plot twist: Troy is a clone of robo knight so he is dead inside

Actually, I think my bathroom doorknob had more development than Troy ever did.

Why did they never change clothes?

I just love the line "I've been waitin' for yo ass, Troy Burrows."

If you had actually watched Gokaiger, you would understand that Noah’s “development” from Blue Saber Saga is totally baseless. It was just a copy-pasted plot of Gokaiger’s take on it, but without making if fit within the context of Megaforce and it’s characters. Noah was never established as being a veteran swordsman to begin with. It worked in the Sentai, because the Blue Ranger of Gokaiger was already established as a veteran swordsman. With Megaforce, it doesn’t. There was no reason for a novice like him to get into a sword fight with Skatana, there was no reason for him to get depressed over losing that fight to him, and there was no reason for him to be so out of character. This is not how character development is supposed to work. Having Noah go from novice to veteran in just a single day’s worth of training does not make sense. Him setting up a training course that has him deflecting swords that fly at very high speeds would get a novice killed! I’m surprised that I haven’t found a single comment around here pointing out these problems here! Many people who have watched Gokaiger are fully aware with these problems regarding Blue Saber Saga, and Noah’s inconsistent characterization. I know that it might be too late for me to post a comment here, but someone has to point out these problems.

Idea: Gosei should've been a guardian for the Morphing Grid itself, only awakening when the Grid came under direct threat. The armada's discovered a way to destroy the grid permanently, thus ensuring that evil will eventually triumph if they're not stopped. Part of this plan involves conquering/destroying the earth because of how many ranger teams exist on it or something. Gosei awakens with no idea of what's happened while asleep, and eventually discovers that while he was asleep, not only did Zordon die, but at the hands of one of his own rangers.

If you watch Linkara's overview of Dino Charge, he mentions at the beginning how there was an interview with one of the writers on this season. Turns out that even *they* knew this season was crap and they were trying to make it better, but Jonathan Tzachor kept dismissing their ideas as "boring."

Don't Forget - Gosei: THERE'S A EXPLANATION FOR THAT!

Easy. The writers decided to be lazy.

Gokaiger is one of the Best SS series and Super Megaforce basically is an insult for them! Marvelous, Joe, Luka, Doc, Ahim and Gai are amazing characters, their suits are awesome, their storylines are interesting, Basco an amazing villain. PR wasted all the potential of a pirates series

Gia aka Girl Troy Jake= Soccer Douche Emma= Who? Orion=Again, Who? Noah= Not Ethan Troy= Literally like watching paint dry

I think this series should be rebooted except ACTUALLY MAKE THEM PIRATES

Can we talk for a second about how Robo Knight dropped in during the Legend Battle? Troy was just like, "Oh hey Robo Knight!" And Robo Knight is is just like "Hello old friend." Like, what the actual fuck? You're not gonna give us any fucking explanation? That right there just proved they gave no shits and we're basically just dubbing the friggin Sentai.

Thank you Megaforce and Super Megaforce. You just KILLED CAPTAIN MARVELOUS and BASCO!!!! You somehow took one of the most beloved Sentai season and made it look like SHIT!!! Heck, even Basco offered to act as an American Basco but got denied. Basco actor even spoke perfect English.

“please daddy save us again"😂😂😂

As much that everybody hates Megaforce, I agree that Gia Moran didn’t get one single focus on the show. But I do not blame the actor/actress for playing their characters, as much as you can bash on Troy and I agreed, I really blame the creator for make everyone hate him. They didn’t even try to fix Troy character up, it’s like they purposely make him to be hated. For the Rangers. Jake, Noah and Emma, Robo Knight were poorly development. Orion got somewhat of background, but still poorly development. I feel like Megaforce should got somewhat at least decent storyline or they could not to story connected to Zordan for that matter and could make a different story all together. The creators and writer did not even try to give the season somewhat of a chance. I feel like they didn’t give a damn about this season, because I feel like characters and plot in the Megaforce didn’t get any some good result. You can hate this season and I agreed, but I still blame the people who were work on show not season itself and if casts different creators and writer like Judd Lynn it would not be bad as it was...

To me Orion had the most potential to be a great character. He had an actual backstory (a tragic one at that) and showed charisma. Unfortunately that was all wiped away after he debuted. It's like they forgot what to do with him.

One of the real problems of this part of the Neo Saban era is the wish of the director to use as much Sentai material as possible, which is not good because as usual what the Sentai were doing was completely different. The result is that many writers got their ideas incompatible or shut down because it would have needed less Sentai and more original material, or to make episodes with little Sentai as possible. Don't believe me? Look at the S2 megazord presentation and cockpit: the entire pirate shots are still there, and remember they reshoot the cockpit of Samurai because it was too oriental, so it was not outside their capabilities to put the effort! The mere presence of Sentai only teams in the keys when the Mighty Morphin put immense effort into removing those at their time to keep the show grounded outside the Japanese brother saga is another clear shot at the problem, hell the RPM crossover didn't happen with the RPM universe, but the shots of the other dimension were the SENTAI SAGA SHOTS! All they needed was a frikkin mad max wasteland if they didn't want to shoot the city again, but no, Sentai recycling again even if it doesn't make sense. No wonder Dino Charge got better, the director ( a huge Sentai fan ) got fired because his failures, and good riddance. He may have loved Sentai, but it was clear he was trying to dub the serie as much as possible without doing it and being called out.

You roasted the hell out of this season

hey look it's the 4 kids dub of gose..... never mind , that's an insult to 4 kids ! this season is worse than samurai

In my opinion, Taylor (Yellow Ranger-Power Rangers Wild Force) is better than Gia. In Power Rangers Wild Force , Taylor has been yellow ranger for a year before Cole (Red ranger) steps in to the picture. I like Taylor's character than Gia's character. Gia is nothing compare to Taylor.

If S.P.D takes place in the future, how do they know about them....

My biggest problem with Gia was that it seemed the writers couldn't decide who they wanted Gia's love interest to be. Jake had a crush on her, she flirted with Troy a bit in the first season, she clearly had the hots for Orion (until the writers decided they liked him with Emma, which I didn't) and there were even hints at Gia and Robo Knight being a thing. But then again, recent Ranger pairings bother me, not because of the show, but because of the fanbase. All of those fans that were like, "Jayden and Mia belong together" or "Troy and Emma are destined for each other" even though there was like zero romance between those "couples". It especially annoyed me, because Jayden and Emily made way more sense (until that asshole Mike got in the way) and as I've said, Gia was the one who flip flopped between all of the boys.

This video inspired me to want to direct a Power Rangers season.

Reply to this comment and let me know if you want a DinoThunder video or a Top 10 Ranger Villains video first!! Also quick correction: Turns out the DinoThunder lyrics was Centuries gone by and not centuries combine like I said. Sorry!!

The entire cast is a MMPR knockoff: Noah=Billy Troy=Jason but worse Emma=Kimberly Gia=Trini Jake=Zachary Basically dumbed down versions of the charactes.

With the way Megaforce/Super Megaforce was handled, it seems like the crew and even Saban himself is ashamed of the Power Ranger legacy. It’s a shame when Disney and Hasbro can do PR better than the series creator.

I was not ready, when you said "Ohhh, this guy, I been waiting for your ass Troy" I was floored

Even the Legendary Battle had continuity errors. So much so, it was insane. The Legendary Battle. The finale Saban hyped up to no end. 1. HOW THE HELL DID TOMMY GET HIS GREEN RANGER POWERS BACK? 2. HOW DID LEO GET TO EARTH? Yeah, Astro Megaship, but the episode doesn't tell us. 3. It showed the White Ranger and Saba when Tommy grabbed the kid, but he was the Green Ranger in this one. THEY COULDN'T EVEN KEEP IT CONSISTENT FOR THE FINALE! Yes, Tommy has been 5 rangers (6 is you count the Ninja state), but heres how to fix it. Either cycle through the helmets he wore OR just use the Green Ranger faded helmet instead, its more iconic in my opinion. It just basically assumes hes coming in as the White Ranger, but NOPE!

Megaforce got SO FUCKING BORING. Even more so than Samurai.

2:00 Exactly, why didn't he awaken during Lightspeed Rescue? I know Lost Galaxy came before that, but it wasn't based on Earth, instead a floating colony

I really want them to make an animated series, or comic book or LITERALLY ANYTHING that shows off gokaiger better, fixes up continuity issues, and gives us more backstory

There was more focus on the boring RoboKnight than on developing the Rangers as characters. Also (aside from the very last episode) only Casey and Jayden made special episode appearances. Gokaiger had someone from a prior team showing up almost every other episode. Only way for the Megaforce Rangers to get character development is to read fanfiction.

Here's the thing about Troy. He's awful. Just fucking awful. Andrew Gray did NOTHING to bring any sort of life to the character other than a slight smile every so often, his deliveries were SO wooden my mom's carpenter boyfriend could make a box out of him, & the character himself was just a waste. Given how his Sentai counterparts, Alata and Captain Marvelous, are so different from him, you'd expect the writers to have implemented some form of their character developments into his, ESPECIALLY Marvelous, because he lives up to the word by being SO badass, you need a break after most of the moments. But no, a bland red ranger in a season that is WORSE than MMPR season 1 because while MMPR could be argued as bland just to sell toys, but it COULD be argued that it was that, but that it's a product of the time it was made in which didn't have a lot of kids' shows do that kind of depth, Megaforce IS a season that was just made to sell toys. I mean, look at all of the merch that was coming out at the time. DVDs, toys aplenty, nostalgic things. BANDAI AMERICA cared, but Johnathan Tzachor DIDN'T. Fuck him.

Why wasn't this Noah guy the Red Ranger and not Troy? The show would have been a lot better for that!

I think the problem is that Gokaiger had developed directly from Goseiger, which explained why the Ranger Keys exist and the hunt for the biggest treasure in the universe. Saban didn't have the luxury of 40+ episodes for each season for characters and having the Power Rangers branded as "wanted space pirates" would not fit the "Protector of Earth" motif. But I agree, they screwed up the perfect season to honor this series.

I believe that the reason why it's so bad is that with everything Disney Brain said, the series was also rushed. The original Japanese series was 90 episode and the director shorten the story to 40 episodes. I mean why in the world would they do that, it's just going to force the writers to rush everything in the series

As someone who grew up with Megaforce and Supermega force, I never noticed the bad acting or stories since I was so young. For me, the characters are nostalgic and I remember Troy being a cool calm collected leader. What the show DID do for me was get me intrigued about other, previous series and so that’s a plus.

Gosie could actually have been a great idea. There are many teams that had powers out of nowhere. What if Gosei had given those mentors the technology to build the morphers, and was preparing for new threats all the time? This could be such a threat nothing he previously developed could stand a chance. But nooo, nothing about that, he was just asleep

The Disney Brain you said the words from my mouth. This season gave me trust issues with Saban that i didn't want to even give the movie a chance and haven't watch dino or ninjasteel and i'm a die-hard Power ranger fan but this neo saban era is giving the fans the middle finger!

Your roast of Troy was epic and bbn I commend you I'm gonna go back to it for years to come when I wanna watch someone take down another character verbally (who deserves it)

There's only one way we can get quality back into this mess; 1.) Whoever Saban hired as writers and director should either be fired, or get a crowd of fans beat the living sh#% out of them. That second part should teach them a lesson.

Still waiting to see "Dino Thunder: A Jurassic Masterpiece" in my notifications.

the one thing that Jake develops is black to green

Bro, the background students in their class probably had more growth and emotion than them.

The first season to have a big continuity error since S.P.D isn't formed yet and RPM is apart of a different universe.

It is widely accepted that Super Megaforce was Super Megacrap.

Gia and emma had probably the best relationship too bad no one was willing to go all the way with it in the end.

This season was so lazy that they actually played the Samurai theme instead of the megaforce theme in one of the episodes

megaforce was basically a HUGE environmentalist add.

The legacy battle was awesome... In the Super Sentai version

The way I like to see it, even though I know it's poor writing, is that Gosei did awake during all those other times the Earth was in danger, but saw that another team of Rangers already had it handled. Maybe he would stay awake on the off chance that one of the past teams failed to stop whatever evil was threatening the Earth. That way he would have a team of Rangers ready as a back up just in case. Another thing I like to think is that the other Rangers didn't help the Megaforce Rangers when the Armada invaded because it was a global invasion. It wasn't just contained in whatever city Megaforce was set in, but rather all over the world. Maybe the other teams of Rangers were busy defending their own cities from the Armada, only to help the Megaforce Rangers in the end to beat what was left of the Armada's foot soldiers. Again I know I'm trying to justify bad writing, but it's something at least.

I think Linkara summed it best in his two hour review of the entire series. It was just plain lazy.

I don't know where but I heard one of the writers for megaforce straight up admitted that as long as its bright and colorful for the children he didn't even need or want to try making anything good out of it.

seriously, how does he not have more subscribers?

Here's the thing, Mega force could of worked, have it be that Casey from jungle fury has the vision of the upcoming battle while he is medditating or something and then goes back into the room where dai-shi was impressioned and goes into the chamber with the past ranger powers and he said I need a new team, but I also need everyone and while he is training the new team, he is also going around and recuriting past rangers for the upcoming battle.

This was actually the first time I watched power rangers and so I remember quite a lot about it and this made me watch the other power rangers series I just want to say that the actors actually didn't like there seasons the cast on the 2018 panel morphicon and one in November 2018 were saying that they didn't like it and was making fun off it. Andrew (Troy) actually said that he told the producers if he could have emotion/ personality (something like that) in his character but they said no. They made fun off the outfits, families, homes and so much more. They also apologised about the legendary battle and how it should of been better and longer. Ciara (Gia) also said about the relationship with Gia and Jake that on episode 3 the producers said it was going fast and so they wanted to make it slow/ cut it and the had to ask requests to the producers, which was no. There is more but some of them I've forgotten about.

In my personal opinion this is one of the worst seasons in all of power rangers.

Aww it hurts, it burns. Sitting through this and the Samurai one were more entertaining than most episodes of those seasons.

You gotta cut Troy's actor some slack as he tried to show emotions but the directors wouldn't let him

Don’t ever compare Nick to Troy ever again, Nick was a far better red ranger. Nick is a top 10 red ranger

So here's what I would've done with Super Megaforce: Give the Rangers the keys at the beginning but make them earn the use of each set of Ranger powers. For example, travelling to Animaria to tame the Lion Zord is how they gain use of the Wild Force powers. There's enough episodes to do one set of powers per episode, then when it comes to the Legendary Battle, which I would've made a 2 parter, they earn the final set of powers (I'd go with the MMPR ones for this) and would've earned the right to fight alongside the legends. I'd also have used Megaforce for character development- why is Troy so distant? Who is placing expectations of excellence on Gia and how does that impact her? etc

Maybe Disney Brain can make a comparison between Super Megaforce and Gokaiger

Pray to God that Super Ninja Steel does a better job being an anniversary season.

I liked the super samurai series because it was simplistic, fun and didn't resort to the boring character tropes that every other show and film seems to need to. Then megaforce came out with the dumb male liking the stroppy tough girl with a nasty personality who should be grateful for any attending with that attitude. The other characters were so bland and forgettable too. Same old, same old. Plus the whole arc was a mess and yet i remember everyone talking about how amazing it was even after it finished. Glad to see others don't like it too otherwise the makers might make the next series similarly as bad.

The roast of Troy was so satisfying haha

Noah was a highlight, but his character development felt a bit like a condensed copy-and-paste of Billy’s character development.

Honestly, RPM is a better "legacy season" than this. It had Astronema 2.0 and a red ranger who's basically Leo + Wes

It probably didn't help that the director was a fanboy of Super Sentai who had distain for Power Rangers to begin with.

Worse ranger series ever. Period. Sad cause it's the series that has the legendary rangers and we got ROBBED from the actual war and cameos

Megaforce made even Operation Overdrive look good.

MegaForce was Mediocre and Super MegaForce was a complete mess.

casey: congratulations! you unlocked your animals spirits! *animal spirits were never used*

Although Samurai wasn't the best of series you have to admit it kind of brought the show back because of the stories and growth of the rangers. Plus the Gold Ranger was kind of interesting too. But this... the only episodes worth watching were the first and very last. That's not good at all.

Only thing I liked about this season was that the team could morph into any ranger they wanted too.

6:40 Actually, he is. He's referred to as a ranger, he's on Orion's Gold shield, he fills the 6th ranger role, so yeah, he IS a ranger.

"A goldfish but somehow with less energy" I'm already laughing but the background music and the pictures too? RIP Me.🤣🤣🤣

#MegaCrap #MegaFail #SuperMegaCrap #SuperMegaFail

Dude I forgot about Orian too LOL I'm guilty with the Casey thing........so.......so......guilty and don't forget about the THEME SONG!!!!!! That's a good thing too!!!!! I agree with everything you said basically, oh and the fight scenes! Some of them were pretty cool! Oh and the outfits! And the school!!! I mean those lockers are so good looking!!! Im running out of positive things too say so that's all I got, great review/rant lol DINO THUNDER NEXT!!!! Oh you know I'm gonna talk about THAT theme song!!!!! Oh and 10:00 funniest part of the ENTIRE video!!!! I think I died from laughing 😂😂😂😂

Even though his arc was kinda shallow and there could've been much more done, Robo Knight is STILL the best character in Megaforce.

"I've been waiting for your ass" I don't think I've laughed that hard over a ranger video in years

Megaforce is the reason normal people cannot be Power rangers,to the point were Gosei needed the empty shell named Troy be the leader. Because the whole series would be a normal person questioning everything and losing their mind whenever Gosei would say “there’s an explanation for that.”
