MMPR, Zeo, in space, lost galaxy, time force, Ninja Storm, SPD, Dino Thunder all good

Meh- lightspeed rescue, turbo, wild force

Bad- operation overdrive, mystic force

Those are the ones Ive seen. Havent seen like the past 4 seasons.

Lightspeed Rescue is one of my favorites. Along with Ninja Storm and SPD.

RPM is legit god-tier. A lot of it because the whole team and even their "mentor" all feel thoroughly fleshed out.

Im partial to the entire Post-Zordon Saban seasons. I remember really liking Lightspeed Rescue though as it aired. I saw Vypra right at that critical junction point where I should have stopped caring about Power Rangers and started caring about girls.

Vypra...my gosh >_>

I want to check Beast Morphers now that Hasbro owns it but...theres no way to watch it without cable atm lol.

I feel like RPM peaked about halfway through, and then just sort of stumbled along to the finish line. It was certainly good, but not anywhere close to what it was setting itself up to be.

Like once gold and silver joined the party, I think that was the turning point. Which is weird because I loved every scene with them in it. >_>

I think Dr. K might be the single best episode in the entire franchise though

People seem to be enjoying Beast Morphers from what I understand. Jason the OG Red Ranger is coming back so I definitely want to see that.

My only problem with Beast Morphers, from what Ive seen, is that it is strictly inferior to Go-Busters, which is a shame because it didnt have to be.

If only they had kept Yokos shorts then it could have set itself up as the greatest season of all time. :p

I haven't seen Gobusters but I heard good things.

In fact, the only Sentai I've seen in its entirety was Lupinranger vs Patranger. I hope Hasbro decides to adapt that, but I feel like they're gonna do ToQger.

I was only joking anyway. I havent seen enough Beast Morphers to make an actual comparison (let alone only half of half the show has been released in the US lol)

I am watching through GB while Im waiting for the Netflix dump though. And its pretty decent.

People keep saying ToQ would never work in the West, which makes me a bit frustrated at the whole 2-season thing that started with the Nick deal. Pre-Nick, they would have found a way to make it work.

But LuPat has always seemed interesting. I want to get to it but Ive got like 6 other Sentai I want to get through first lol

LuPat is a fun watch but it really drags on the whole "Patrangers don't know who the Lupinrangers" subplot for as long as it can.

MMPR, more specifically Season 1 is my favorite, but overall I like the entire Zordon era (yes to a lesser extent Turbo), Lost Galaxy, Time Force, SPD, and RPM.

During the original airings I dropped off shortly into Wild Force, picked up again when SPD was out but time slots were horrible and I dropped off again. I've been collecting the dvd sets so my list will likely change over time. I'm a fan of their sentai counterparts as well. Just this week I got the sets for Jetman, Megaranger, and Timeranger.

A few sentai series over the last decade or so I feel lack the charm of the 90s and it shows in the Power Rangers adaptations. The Zordon era had far better acting, music, and atmosphere than anything since Samurai.

I will say I do miss the rock music during fights from MMPR. They should bring that stuff back.

Ron Wasserman really knew what he was doing.

Like, newer Ranger seasons have had good themes and scores, but nothing has given me that child-like thrill of wanting to jump up and beat the shit out of some putties like those old cheese-rock tracks.

Guess kids these days just like something different :p

What they're really missing out on is the original Sentai source for the show. God, it was crazy. One of the villains of the week was a fucking Cup-O-Noodle monster.

As a kid I thought this was cool. But as an adult I have to ask myself what idiot creates a monster whose self destruct trigger is a giant button plastered on the front of center mass lmao

Heh, I have to agree. This episode was huge as it was in Prime Time, and I found this fight to be epic (still do), but it's plagued by problems. The first yes being the Putties' weakness. Next, who the hell was playing Trini in this fight? They pose and Trini looks like she's waiting for a cue first. Then they run off and Trini takes forever to get up and was likely the last off screen but then appears first next to Jason. Then as the fight begins she's last to move again. Towards the end of the fight in the group shot you can see Jason posing in the back and the Putty looking down at his chest like he's about to blow when they should still be fighting.

Good fight but poor direction.

I watched the show for the Dino Zords. When they switched to cars and mystic samurai stuff, I lost interest. Lord Zed was cool, but not enough to carry the show. I preferred Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad anyway. Those monster fights were legit.

Oh I agree. Even with the problems, the whole arrival of Zed is easily one of the highlights of MMPR, and even all these years later that kind of dramatic shift has rarely been replicated.

Tsuburaya knows what the heck theyre doing with giant monster fights. And the cheesy 90s computer effects are just too fucking charming I love it lol

Lightspeed Rescue had kind of a dumb concept, but it was easy to overlook the weird fireman/police officer thing because Carter was fucking GAR, and the series in general was good.

First time he sees a monster? Tries to run it over.

Want to attack, but stuck within the explosion range of your massive laser guns? Worth it.

Yeah Power Rangers is great. Even a terrible season like Samurai has me enjoying the cheesy fun and cool fights in midst of hating everything else. And the moments when its more than that are hype like Time Force, RPM, Lost Galaxy and In Space. Thats when Power Rangers surpasses Sentai most often.
