I haven't seen Forever Red in a while, and I don't have time at this moment to do so, but I'm going to assume the new Serpentera was CG, which.....well, just makes sense. First of all, the old Serpentera footage was from nearly 10 years prior, and would have meshed horribly with Wild Force. Especially in an episode of nothing but original footage. It would have cost a lot to either ship the old puppet over, make one of their own, or hire Toei to film some puppet footage of him for their use, for not a lot of screentime, so it was generally easier and cheaper to just CG him.

I understand that, and I'd have been ok with the CG if it had looked anything like Serpenterra. But no. New Paint job and a reduction in size. Thats mainly what annoys me.

I did not notice the difference. And I wouldn't have care what they used as long as they didn't that stupid bike to destroy it. BUT they did use that stupid excuse of a finisher to destroy Zedd's powerful zord (which now that I think about it, how did it ended back on the moon since they used it to escape from the Machine Empire?)

I hope the Shinkenger adaption turns out good.

I'm really excited that Saban bought it back. I'm also hoping he finally decides to make a second season of Mystic Knights, that cliffhanger ending of the first one was just wrong.

Yup. Saban's adapting Shinkenger. Based on casting sides and audition descriptions (describing character personalities as well as their colors), it's pretty clear that we will get a Shinkenger adaptation next spring.

Back on topic, I'm glad that Saban is taking PR back, because while they were experimenting with the first few seasons, they really made the others up until Time Force kick butt.

And to defend Disney for once, imo, they did Wild Force and Ninja Storm so well that it was like Saban didn't stop, with me only later realizing that they weren't working on it. However, Dino Thunder was the "grand" start for Disney. */sarcasm*

I liked it until Mystic Force, and even then I saw a lot of Jungle Fury, which I liked cause it felt simmilar to Saban shows, and RPM.

What are you saying? They butchered Gekirangers with Jungle Fury. I was really dissapointed how they adapted it, only the end was a little better. I know it's just your opinion, it's just that Gekirangers was my favourite sentai of all times (Before Shinkengers came into the picture), so it hurt me pretty hard when I saw the adaptation.

The season name is completely unknown. It could be just PR Samurai, or not mention Samurai at all.

I see nobody mentioned that we have a confirmed cast!

Clearly kids won't notice if gold gets muscles out of nowhere. Clearly.
