After the Power Rangers panel hosted by Shout!Factory at San Diego Comic-Con, Keith Justice managed to talk to Elie Dekel, President of SABAN Brands LLC about something that’s been on every fan’s mind: Will we ever see Gokaiger used for Power Rangers?
Since the reveal, fans have been confused as to the approach the season will take. Summaries gave the impression that this would be solely based on Goseiger, but certain items making mention of Gokaiger traits had fans scratching their heads. During his conversation with Dekel, Keith Justice asked whether or not he could shed some light on the matter. Dekel replied by saying that the first half of Megaforce would feature Goseiger footage while the second half would feature Gokaiger footage.

I believe Saban is destroying whatever chances they had of keeping us longtime fans if both Gosei AND Gokai are MEGAFORCE. Will the team’s be the same despite the suit changes differing plot arcs. And will twenty or thirty something actors be playing to the cinfines of japanese teens?
Unless we see anything resembleing intelligence from the writers and the cast (Samurai is proof that intelligence isn’t required), I think MEGAFORCE will be it. THE END.
And Saban need to lose Bulk, Skull and Spike and keep them away from toku. That shit didn’t fly in SS, so why is it in PR?

Saban doesn’t care about “longtime fans”, you’re a tiny minority. Saban cares about kids, if kids watch it and like it then it’ll work. PR will continue as long as American children watch it. I’ve never liked PR or Saban anyway, so I don’t really care what they do.

Besides, maybe neither team is actually referred to as ‘Megaforce” and it’s just a catch all for the series.

Well then, it’s a good thing you shared your opinion on something you’ve never liked or cared about! Good going!
Point is, Saban COULD care about “longtime fans”. Marvel do. DC do. Look at their animated stuff. It rewards “longtime fans” and entertains kids. Quite a few shows manage to entertain kids whilst not entirely boring adults. Avatar the Last Airbender. You can care about kids and adults by not talking down to the audience and making something that All Ages can enjoy.

It’s not just that. By editing the Legend War, they are editing the grand powers to just 19 powers how will those who like the original sentai footage, which was awesome, responde to this, I wonder?
