All things considered, this isn’t so bad.
Sure, it’s lazy to just recycle the theme from Samurai, but I like the new musical cues they stuck in there. They also make it feel less like a recycled version of the Samurai theme, such as the “rangers forever, megaforce altogether” at the beginning and the “Hey…Go!,” which give it a slightly more “epic” feel.
The rewrites are also fairly clever and the extra guitar bit at 0:33 makes it feel like an upgrade more than a re-hash. Not to mention, it would have been really easy to just have “rangers forever, megaforce together,” and I appreciate that they didn’t just replace “samurai” with “megaforce” wherever they could. Many of the rewrites (such as Hey, Go!) are also handled with the grandeur that they deserve.
Overall, yeah, it WOULD be lazy to recycle the Saurai theme and use it here, but they DIDN’T. They used the Samurai theme as a template and added on to it, making a very solid song that works well for the show it’s attached to. I’d give it an 8.5 out of 10.
To the haters of this theme, I ask you: Would you like this theme any more or less if it had come out BEFORE Samurai?

now that’s more like it, an awesome action packed opening similar to samurai’s opening theme of mmpr but it’s expected since it’s the 20th anniversary of the mmpr
