that's a pet peeve of mine as well.
I actually didn't like Samurai I thought it was too much of a copy-and-paste of Shinkenger on top of which they pretty much crapped on a monumental occasion with Lauren a female Red Ranger with only Jayden and Mia really showing her any kindness.

I agree with you about Megaforce minus the pre-Zyu and Dairanger (minus Kibaranger) changes.

Yes the execution was crap I didn't think the seasons should be separate but the execution overall was just bad.

My only problem I felt like they could have simplified the characters like having Keeper be Torin, and Sledge be Chaos instead of making them new characters just to Americanize Torin, and Chaos later

Or just making Heckyl American Deathryuger since they never adapted Deathryuger at all.
I've never seen Kyoryuger so I can't comment on that but I do agree that it's a good MMPR callback not quite a throwback but more of a heavy nod to it in some scene.

I thought Keeper was fine but I wasn't a fan of Sledge but Chaos/Arcanon shouldn't have been around right away but I think Arcanon came a bit late and really did nothing.

I agree with you about Deathryuger.

no doubt

Jonathan was the fool for getting fired if he knew what he was doing he wouldn't have gotten himself fired.

Especially when considering there's a Gosei/Gokai team up in Gokaiger, which was cool. It'd be great to see a NZ version of Gosei+Gokai vs. Super Sentai battle. Plus we also missed a chance of seeing the Samurai and the Megaforce Rangers fighting alongside each other and a Samurai Red vs. Megaforce Red battle. Not to mention a certain Gokai episode where the Gokaigers secretly observe the two Ranger teams rushing into battle.

As for the "season-supering" thing: I always felt it was unnecessary. I still do.
even so you should still make sure things truly sound good and actually look good.

they would've needed to buy the Gosei/Gokai teamup footage rights which they weren't going to do would've been a great idea so they could use all of the available Legendary War footage. Same thing with Samurai/Megaforce footage they weren't going to buy it.

I agree about the supering garbage.
