Can't spell Ignorance without IGN .
Oh no he's gonna explode. Quick Ichigo and Nigo, fly him out to the ocean.

Not those two, send Skyrider & Fourze instead to do the task at hand!
For reals dude
Technically I think he said "ignorant" not "ignorance".
Welp, he lost it
"Here's 5 Major Things that Power Rangers does differently from Super Sentai."
Boom. Fixed.
I can't even imagine how Power Rangers could even adapt Zenkaiger, Donbrothers, and King-Ohger.
the third one could be doable not sure about the rest though
@@decimalcactus1902 i dont think donbrothers and zenkaiger should be adapted , it will be a mess of a season if they do
King-Ohger is doable
Kingohger is definitely doable. But I'm pretty sure that any sane person would agree regarding Zenkaiger and Do brothers. I just can't see any normie or the average PW enjoyers fully understanding those two.
However I would absolutely love if PW adapted Zenkaiger as a homage towards their origins. Although practically impossible to happen it would great to connect the two franchises by cross referencing the two series and by fully embracing the comedic side of Zenkaiger (Not just making a parody)
King-Ohger, I can see it happening because it pretty much takes place in it's own universe, just the same as Kyuranger to Zenkaiger.
Zenkaiger being adapted... Probably would just work better for extra rangers instead, meanwhile Donbrothers would simply be a mess because if continuity and plot mattered for making something out of it, then the challenge will be making something out of... Well, _nothing_ as so many things in Donbrothers is not meant to make sense for why they're there and that's how it was supposed to be. Plus... It's a modern day Momotaro take, so like with Samurai, it probably wouldn't pan as well as it should.
"Morphin Grid" stuff they made up and didn't think about for a long time in a good chunk of power rangers until the comics gave Hasbro a nice out to suddenly have a continuity.
It's kinda a thing in Operation Overdrive too but I agree it only became more of thing particularly in the comics and then got incorporated in the show.
I think they dropped the ball with the Morphin Masters, the walking (or floating) Deus Ex Machina.
Not everything has to be about a race of aliens, omnipresent, superpowerful, who appear when the plot demanded.
yeah
Cuz the Morphin Grid being a actual cosmic entity that create new powers like a god on the fly, will not pass through censors and we can't have gods in Power Rangers after what (Super) MegaForce did to Brajira the Messiah.
*Reads title*
I already know that IGN article will be cringe.
*reads the title* ok ign, this is your one chance to earn nerd points
Exactly
they failed
IGN's article felt like the Powerful Rangers that shows up in Akibaranger.
I’d also argue that the “Jin”/“-Oh” naming of the mecha is sentai’s version of the “megazord” categorization.
Or in Timeranger's case, just the Time Robo.
kingohger: 👀 (thats the name of the mecha in king-ohger.)
@@karthus006 yeah other mechas in sentai just have robo in the name
adding to your point. they actually have a naming convention that pr doesn't. pr has no name for two megazords combining. yet if a mecha start with "super" then 9 times out of 10, that mecha is comprised of two "megazords"
@@robertnielsen-jl5meadding to your point, I don’t think pr have a naming convention for the additional formations of the megazord. For example, in Kyoryuger, the additional formations have a name (except for mix and match forms such as Stegochi-Zakutor and Parasagun-Stegochi), but in Dino Charge and Dino Super charge, it’s always just the megazord name+something-something formation.
Remember when one of the IGN anchors called himself a Power Rangers fan but called Goldar a Tarantula.
Don’t worry about them,their either 90’s kids stuck in the past or never watch a single super Sentai show
Well in my case I watched Power Rangers Samurai on Nick and alittle bit of Megaforce
And all this time until recently I never was aware about the Sentai version let alone that being the original
And please don't blame me for it because what most fans seem to not understand is I grew up in the USA and of course got Saban's airing and never knew Sentai was a thing
I can't really fault either side for feeling how they do regarding the Power Rangers vs Supersentai debate, but personally I feel that Supersentai is a lot more "progressive". More specifically that power rangers ( Especially the extended media like comics) feel trapped in the nostalgia loop and is limited to only "Might Morphin". Especially from a outsider perspective Power rangers almost has a "dated" feeling and the shadow of their debut show. This contrast is worsened especially with Sentai now innovating their sphere of toku.
Sentai only started "innovating" cause of looming cancellation
@@NXS09848 That's how all for profit media works yes
@@NXS09848 Beautiful. You discovered the wheel. Every series that it's going to be cancelled, innovates or took more risks.
Power Rangers was always on the verge on cancellation, but they don't innovate. Or progress. Or anything.
The last time was RPM. And that was like 14 years ago.
@@luchomscyfy I'm pointing out to the sentai fans who like to pretend sentai is some flawless masterpiece. It isn't sentai recent "innovating" is a desperate plea to get people interested again after nearly a decade of poor seasons. Power Rangers is no masterpiece either but it's not the one fighting off cancellation Sentai is lol.
@@NXS09848 I don't think Sentai is a flawless masterpiece, but I don't think Power Rangers are doing something to being called "excellent" either.
I'm baffled with some TH-camrs or people in forums, being more "nice" with Power Rangers than Sentai. It's like, they accepted mediocrity, and not being too hard on Power Rangers, because, at least, "they are trying". Or bringing back old villians to "catter to nostalgia".
I watch both, Super Sental has more adult scenes, they show blood, rangers getting killed. For Power Rangers they turn down the violence and change everything for kids and learning a lesson
Having a lesson isn't a bad thing by itself, but the way they do it is just... just dumb.
The second you claim blood and death as "Mature" I know you are not mature.
@ridergamer9986 Death had to be downplayed a bit in PR's case since the targetted audience is kids. Sentai doesn't pull punches when death is brought up, but at least it isn't fully shown in some cases. (Unless you're talking about Jetman and their infamous ending). I'd also say that death is kind of a joke in Sentai what with Momoi(Don Momotaro) dying if he even thinks about lying and is casually brought back to life.
@RiderGamer99The problem saying "kill" actually a standards and practices thing. A good example is Gundam wing when it aired on cartoon network, the afternoon version ignored the word kill and say "destroy" as well. Also, you have the changes from when Beast Wars was syndicated to the edits for fox Kids. Also, if you want to look up how much of bitches S&P are, go look up the changes demanded in Gravity falls.
@RiderGamer99 They said kill twice in the Once and Always trailer.
There's a huge difference between Super Sentai and Power Rangers than just toy commercials.
Super Sentai:
10th anniversary reunions at the Tokyo International Film Festival since 2020.
2 concerts: Chou Eiyuu Sai and Super Sentai Spirits.
A goodwill ambassador, Hiroya Matsumoto (Tsubasa Ozu/MagiYellow and Masato Jin/Beet Buster).
Stage Plays, either in Tokyo Dome City or Theater G-Rosso.
Food commercials, from birthday cakes to sausages.
Power Rangers:
Ranger Conventions
BOOM comics
.....and that's it.
Hate to give it to Power rangers, but They got better fighting game than the Super Sentai. Which is none.
@@ridwana4037 Still not a button basher, cuz that would've been unfairly brutal.
I do agree that Super Sentai at least seems like Disney Channel Original Series level (some actors there do become some big stars later on, although it's more common in Kamen Rider) than a seemingly niche audience that's bordering pre-school level with barely any extra content outside the shows (I guess there's the Legacy Collection but they are disconnected to the current shows)...
@@ridwana4037 disagree completely i only saw the pilot episode of mmpr and hated it i was 9 in 1993 on fox kids i recorded ithe pilot episode on vhs my substitute teacher gave me drawings of witch bandora and grifforzar and paperwork about dinosaur squadron zyuranger i have seen 19 sentais😊
And don’t forget “Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club” where Sentai have some various spin offs from every character.
You can't spell IGNORANT without IGN
we'll you can but it would just be ORAT
It becomes TARO

@@hollyredmond8688 Ahahaha!!
@@hollyredmond8688 I have not healed😭😭
It's not as diverse because it's Japanese. For a Japanese audience where where 90% of the country is Asian. That is why 99% of rangers are ashian. Diversity makes sense in pr because it made for a very diverse country.
When IGN call diversity is not actual diversity is the political term. When it comes to diversity of thought for instance current PR is very homogenized.
@@MrRobot-0 Diversity isn't political.
@quetzalpacheco I can't think of a single Hispanic director that doesn't include Hispanic people in their works.
@Peasham I see your point, but what I mean is the reason these teams are made up the way they are is target audience and where there maid. It is marketing more than anything. I could see a season where the senti are from all around the world, like battle fever then have some cast diversity, but I understand why it's not diverse. I hate the simple-minded thought process of power rangers being more ethnicly diverse. Therefore, they are better. I do not care about their race. That's why this bugs me.
Also, diversity has been used politicly. How many movies have floped, then the companies that made them blame racism.
@@deadite3879 I can't think of a single movie that didn't have a racist backlash to it causing the studio to call people racist.
I like the Zord naming convention
I like Diversity in PR
I like the Morphin Grid
and I occasionally enjoy some of the comics storylines
but none of them are good enough reason to say one show is better than the other
I know many will try to convince or argue otherwise and possibly even call each other names for having an opinion
but the truth is even when they both are sister franchises PR and Sentai are 2 inherently different shows which are catered to 2 completely different audience
as a Japanese Language and Culture student I cannot stress enough how much the 2 cultures of Japan and America are different its day and night opposite
Both having different approaches to everything they do in their respective seasons that is catered to different audiences
both are good in their own way but most importantly both Super Sentai and Power Rangers are different and really only have the baseline similarities
My favorite is them naming...something, the Mantis Zord, even tho the animal is definitely not a Mantis, i think it was the Kabuto Origami
The Zord naming in PR is really something else
It's possible to enjoy both, each on their own merits.
While I lean more towards Sentai, I can't help but think there's something like the Morphin Grid which results in the annual creation of a new Sentai.
Big One (a pre-Power Rangers Sentai leader) mentions it in the Gaoranger VS Super Sentai special.
There's certainly some back & forth between Power Rangers and Super Sentai when it comes to the creative process.
@@combatking0 What does Big One mention, exactly? I assume he didn't use the word Morphin Grid, lmao
@@combatking0 well power rangers needs to be cancelled 😊
@@DaveGrean He doesn't use the words "Morphin' Grid" directly, but he mentions the fact that the world has been protected year after year by teams of five-coloured heroes (of which Gaoranger was the 25th). He says that as long as this happens, a happy future is assured.
He and the other 4 legacy Sentai Rangers who appear in the special speak of the "Warrior Spirit" which exists in the members of said teams.
While I do get the point on the diversity, I still think it's kinda dumb to say it's good or bad on both series because they are aimed at wildly different markets, Power Rangers gets dubbed and transmitted all over the world and is made to be a multinational brand, obviously they would have way more representation by their general audience and how shows just are in the Americas, while Sentai is a show made to basically be Japan only, filmed in Japan, for Japanese people, obviously the cast will be comprised of basically japanese only with few exceptions, and while you make a good point...I will have to stop you with the age thing, something that power rangers has always suffered horribly is the age range of all characters are almost the same, all are teenagers or young adults, while Sentai mostly falls under the young adults range, I think they have done way more for showing diversity in age, specially from older people, I mean, the entire Abaranger main team is comprised of basically adults and not just "young" adults, and we have seen more with the likes of Kyoryuger having a wild age level
I think diversity is stupid.
No one asked for it. The last time there was very little was SPD.
Now mind you, this was at the time of 2020, with the BLM riots.
Now, when you have a black man who is the red ranger. I don't care if he's black or asian. You are a leader, I want to look up to them and see them for their leadership.
Not because: "Hey, i'm black and you should do as I say." That don't work.
You mean versus Dairanger, Ohranger, and ToQger, where the former two have one member that's way younger than the rest of the team by a wide age gap, and then latter having an entire main team who were literally just children in the body of adults, fighting alongside adults who were actually beings of fiction and imagination in themselves?
Diversity is more than just ethnicity unfortunately. Super Sentai maybe with King Ohger now might be trying something new, but generally it hasnt been very diverse. Gender, Sexuality, Disability, etc all can be considered as diversity.
Interestingly many in PR aren't fans of kid rangers (although it seems more of writing; I remember many liking Koguma SkyBlue in Kyuranger) and I actually wish we have a bit more of that (I do agree 30-40s aged rangers would be welcome too rather than teens which seem to be a mandate if casting calls in PR are to be believed).
@@Sylanael Exactly why the term "diversity" is only used by clickbaity urinalists like IGN as a political tool. And we have morons ike Peasham up there defending them to death.
Also it’s kinda funny how power ranger for the most part took a lot of scenes from super Sentai before they became their own thing
I mean, they still take a lot of scenes, but now it will just be mecha footage... unless you're talking about when they try to make the same story as the sentai counterpart (Time Force, Wild Force, etc)
it was easy to tell what was original or Sentai footage cause the aspect quality would change and the Japanese suits looked better,The Disney era seasons went to new Zealand so they could better match the Sentai footage since both Japan and new Zealand had similar terrain,with the Hasbro era they aren't as reliant on Sentai footage except the mech scenes.
@@justinarzola4584BUT some of us were born in America and got the Power Rangers airing and never knew about the Sentai version until later on
Mind you some of us didn't have internet and even when we did we found clips of the American version. I only became aware of the Sentai version a month ago
And until today, you can still hear people saying Super Sentai is a Power Ranger ripoff. They obviously didn't read the credits (But who can blame them, how many people actually read the credits?).
Or they didn't know the words "based on" or "adapted from".
@RiderGamer99 you would be surprised. If you jump out from Sentai area for a while.
@@MiXVoyfr when I try explaining to my friends only some of them know what the word is based on and adapted from
Or maybe some of us only knew about the American version and because we've known it for so long and then see Sentai to us it looks fanmade
Sorry that we had no idea that Sentai was the original
I only found out about it last month and the only reason I knew Sentai was the original was the editing but even then I still love my Power Rangers Samurai Saban edition!
Don't care if Sentai is the original the Saban version is my favorite
But seriously please don't blame us for never being aware of Sentai's because we grew up in America
2:58 Uh, Zenakiger went the Decade route of every Sentai being in a different universe (Jee, can't imagine why _THAT_ was! Onore, Shirakura!)
The Zordon era continuity for each season was solid in how each new team was necessary (except maybe Turbo lol). And then Lost Galaxy has the benefit of being the first "new" team of Rangers, while the rest just happens to conveniently exist for each of the evil forces presented in the universe.
I honestly prefer super sentai mecha names to power rangers, at least these days. In Disney era they were at least somewhat creative, but now it's usually just the name of the team and then 'Megazord'.
Clickbait article like this really is a menace to communities. They putting communities at each other throat while laughing from a safe place.
Guys, doing comment wars here is pointless (aside giving marcosatsu revenue I guess). Confront the article writer instead, like the hero you guys admire.
But do it in honourable ways instead of straight up bashing them. Do it without tarnishing the franchise you love. Like those Pokemon Go players who quit playing. The way they put their words really made me think they really love the games.
2:45 Except for the fact many people in the Disney era didn't know rangers existed even after Countdown to Destruction. Not to mention every almost Power Rangers show takes place in California (known exceptions include RPM (which was retconned to be outside the main continuity anyway) and Wild Force) so word wouldn't even need to spread globally, let alone across the nation. There's basically no reason the Ninja Storm rangers would have not heard of Power Rangers before becoming rangers themselves. Also Mystic Mother is Rita Repulsa because the Magiranger version of her, Heavenly Arch Saint Magiel, was the same actress as Witch Bandora even though she wasn't Witch Bandora because Witch Bandora wasn't ever reformed like Rita was (she is apparently actually still alive though, a fact that's never brought up again for some reason and likely never will because her actress passed away).
This straight up became a mini-essay so thank you to anyone whose willing to read or respond 😅.
I only watch Sentai now, Power Rangers has just become frankly boring (besides the comics), which I won't delve into too much.
But there are some PR adaptations I think are better than their sentai, for example, Jungle Fury is my favourite Ranger season and I think its a great improvement over Gekiranger, which isn't terrible tbf.
If you asked me which is better a few years ago, I'd say it depends on which series, some sentai are better than the PR version and vice versa. But since I basically stopped at the end of Dino Fury season 1, I do personally enjoy sentai more.
Granted this is IGN, and this article gives me bad flashbacks of Screen Rant articles. I feel like this article isn't saying much, other than just pointing out things that we know about.
Also on the part on diversity, I am glad that PR has a wide range of different people as Rangers, and thankfully many are great characters. But recently some aren't and by no means is it due to them being diverse, just the way they're written. I honestly don't like Dino Fury, but I do believe Izzy has the most substance out of any of them, not because she's a lesbian, I just think she has some decent ideas behind her that aren't executed well.
By no means do I wish to prevent anyone from liking PR more than sentai, more power to you I say. But I personally am not vibing with PR rn, maybe that can change, but not sure about that.
1:39 MMPR Season 2 also has some obvious exceptions with the Zyu2 footage and in general there's a lot of original footage just all over Power Rangers, especially when they use PR-orginal suits like Zedd, Titanium Ranger, Jungle Fury's Spirit Rangers, Cyber Avatar Roxie (which is just a yellow recolor of Escape Evolve but still used original footage) and Sledge or repurposed suits outside of the Sentai they came from like Cosmo Royale, Void Queen and Snide (who did ultimately come back (alongside Goldar who inexplicably used the Neo-Griffozar suit as "Goldar Maximus") for the crossover he was meant to be in but still).
Do the zords talk in power rangers? No
Do the power rangers team up or fight a kamen rider? No
Does super sentai have more shows? Yes
Super sentai is better
Facts I can’t believe they had to make a whole article about this ☠️
Does power Ranger have different battle song or they just have the same go go power ranger but in different versions
These are horrible points
I get where you guys coming from. I personally prefer SS compared to PR.
SS is where most PR footage comes from. I don't need to elaborate on this I guess. There's a comment on Uzaki videos that goes "Why settle on copy when you can have the original".
In battle scene, those "Hiyah!" in PR are a major turn off to me. You don't see people fights and one person merrily go "Hiyah!". It sound so choreographed. Meanwhile SS tight grunts or the power exerting scream, or sometime total silence hit close to home.
SS battle catchphrase varies between series but it's a good for uplifting team members spirit. PR "It's morphin time!" sounds more like an order. It sound good on Go-Busters morph brace but coming from a person? Who died and make you the king?
Kinda glad PR dun use the Hiyah anymore. But older series might be tough for you.
@@TheIqram12 I grew up with Wild Force onwards. Now as a adult I'm watching the seasons before (recently finished Zeo). The grunts during the fights is one of the reasons it really makes me want to stop watching.
@@anomynous879 yeah grunts during the old era was rough
And also remember people who lived in America got the Power Rangers airing and was never aware of Super Sentai
@@SayoriChan640 That's the case with many western countries. I grew up with Power Rangers here in the Netherlands and had never heard of Super Sentai until Power Rangers Samurai came out. At that time Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger was airing in Japan.
Even as a PR fan, that started his toku journey since the beginning of PR. I do agree with ya tons about this. PR can have good seasons and moments that sometimes can equal or slightly surpass the sentai season they adapted from. And yeah, I too get what the article is saying, but they clearly needed to work on it a bit more before publishing it.
But yeah... this IGN "review"/article, is really bad with trying to defend them. And this coming from someone who does defend PR, but only up to a certain point.
And yeah, while the comics help extend the franchise and give more depth than it needed. I don't think thats a fair comparison either on saying its "one of the reasons PR is better than sentai in some ways."
As for the classifications for the zords/megazords and such. Yeah, you're right. The power scaling, while interesting for PR. For Sentai, it doesn't really need to explain the reason for the power scaling and such, as yeah their actions speak more than just putting classifications on them.
Now for "diversity" while yes, its good to have and can be important at and early age and such, and indeed part of PR's identity too. But that's also not fair to compare that to Sentai/Japan. It's just how the countries, their culture and the masses work. Japan will get there, even if its a snails pace, they are trying to incorporate such stuff more and more into their society.
In the end, both Sentai and PR can both exist and do their jobs. No need to say which is "superior" and such as many seasons for both sides have good and bad seasons. :P
IGN is always going to IGN it up
Just started watching Zyuranger yesterday, and have to say, that while the effects have aged bady (therefor for both seasons) but the overall theme and feel have aged ok.
It's not the Zordon Era it's the Bulk And Skull Era
True goats
On continuity, yes they both have continuity, but Power Rangers is more present in the show. At the start, it was all connected. At Lost Galaxy, the connection was loosened. From Lightspeed Rescue to Wild Force, the connection was loose and relied on the crossover episodes and the "Forever Red" anniversary episode. But Dino Thunder brought lore back as a major part of the season, and Mystic Force brought back Rita as the Mystic Mother. In more recent series, the connections season to season have been getting stronger year to year. Super Sentai only has the loose connection style that relies on crossovers and anniversaries.
I think the loose connection works better for Super Sentai, since it's always fun to see how they connect one series to another. Like Ninninger having a sort of "ninja alliance" and bringing back NinjaRed, HurricaneRed, Shurikenger and even Jiraiya.
The amount of Super Sentai fans trying to argue that diversity in Power Rangers makes it worse is kinda concerning
Welp PR using that kind of "diversity" is kinda concerning. It obviously forced on PR end. It clear as day lol. The diversity ain't true diversity.
@@nurhaqim7159 Exhibit A
Honestly it's on a series by series basis. The original Might Morphin improves on some of the weaker aspects of Zyuranger, while is worse in others. I would say RPM, Ninja and Zeo are as a whole better than their sentai counterparts (although in Ninja Steels case that's more a testament to how bad Ninninger is) . While stuff like Samurai and Mega Force are way worse than the Sentai version.
And then there's season that both pr and sentai are highly regarded like dekkaranger and SPD, it a bit of a mess but currently?
Sentai is better, just that the current showrunners have no idea to how to run a toku show the neo saban era eroded a lot of the filming tradition in order to chase MMPR.
In other hand we currently have King ohger wich while very new is having an extremely strong showing.
TBF Ohranger had to change tones part way through it's run due to the Sarin attacks.
@@Shin_Aniki I get that, but unfortunately it doesn't change the fact that the tonal shift really hurt the show's quality.
@@TeamTowers1 agreed
How is nininger Bad. ?
I like something that is written for IGN South East Asia market but has most American and European upset.
Super Sentai and Power Rangers are both famous in SEA.
Pretty much lot of SEAns wouldn't agree with this
@@Dezsr I mean most of Tokufans here ini Indonesia (yes, it's SEA) said that Super Sentai is better than Power Rangers.
I am not sure about that in Malaysia tho, everyone knows PR, that's normal but I barely saw or know anyone that likes or even know Sentai shows, the most popular thing would prolly be Ultraman(which is obvious on how we get Ribut lmao) and then Kamen Rider
@@Dezsr only those who already are bias thinking super sentai is the best/ hardcore tokusatsu fans. Generally most people start with PR first and maybe down the line they will/might check out Super Sentai/Kaman Rider.
I like watching both, although lately I've been into Sentai slightly more. I just think both are valid in their own way
My personal favorite will always be Power Rangers Samurai Saban edition
the writer of that IGN articles didn't watch any Super Sentai series. and that writer forgot that PR is adapting SS, and not vide versa. If SS is not good, definitely Saban, WD, Hasbro will not adapt those.
Power Rangers does have more of a continuity in that they allude to what happens between seasons somewhat, which I've only really seen in Gokaiger. Maybe I need to watch more sentai, but that's how I see this difference between franchises. I don't know if that makes it better, but I do enjoy when it happens.
One of the key differences in Power Rangers vs Super Sentai. The crossovers are part of the main continuity in Power Rangers. 90 percent of the time, they are not in Super Sentai. Gokaiger and Zenkaiger cannot, under any situation actually fit in a continuity in Super Sentai. And Zenkaiger is references, not continuity. But of a difference there.
Gokaiger, Kyoryuger and zyohger were really the only Sentai shows with continuity from previous series outside the versus team up movies.
@@Tm_Slink How can Gokaiger not fit in the main universe? I know Zenkaiger cant, because the show openly makes it clear it's set in another world. But why not Gokaiger?
Continuity: For Power Rangers that's really just a MM to LG, the rest are crossovers the comics sometimes retcons somethigns. But Super Sentai it's flat out continuity not to mention they do this nice passing down the touch.
Morphin grid: I mean I guess. But that's not a reason, that's just something they wanted to have to make sense in a way for why this person can morph when they shouldn't.
Comics: Yeah I get it. But again there are somethings they change to give some type of context or some type of back story.
Mighty Mega zords: Yeah I get what you mean. But they do also have a power scale so they end up having a power up or their zords get more additional stuff. Where do you think Power Rangers get their zords fight scene from?
Diversity: I see the point. Power Rangers show that anyone can be a hero, because that is something to marketing outside of Japan. While Super Sentai is mainly towards Japanese. So that's the only 1 up I guess?
If the title was 5 differences between Power Rangers and Super Sentai. Then that would work. Although the only thing that works is really diversity and comics. Because the comic just gives stuff some backstory or retcons with somethings. The diversity is okay to include because that is the major difference is that for Power Rangers any one can be a hero while Super Sentai is really only one race (though I'm sure they had an American guy there for one of the seasons).
Again if it was the 5 differences. Then it would be something like
1. Power Rangers/Super Sentai timeline. Just bring up the comics and how it does retcons some things from the show, but ties it down into having a timeline that leads up to the recent Rangers. I think that would work.
2. Diversity. Go into on basically with how the Super Sentai are all Japanese and that's okay because that's around their culture while Power Rangers shoes that no matter the color of your skin or sexuality you too can be a power ranger.
3. Power Ranger Morphin Grid and Super Sentai Torch. This can be all about how for Power Rangers instead of getting a whole new team they just get better powers sometimes they will pass the Torch to another person but can still access that power if they choose so. Meanwhile Super Sentai pass the Torch on to a new team to fight a different threat.
4. Bring up how Power Ranger and Super Sentai have a different guide as in the person that chooses them to be protect the world (I think that works)
5. You can bring up on how in Power Ranger there isn't a ranger that dies while in Super Sentai it will happen.
In all honesty the title could been better for IGN.
Thank you for posting this as I now got fuel for a part two video on SS Vs PR.
Please note:
I was speaking on the artical in my video.
It's possible to enjoy both, and there are some Power Rangers seasons which feel better written than their Sentai counterparts (SPD and RPM are often cited for this), but claiming one is better than the other is a very closed minded attitude.
But if I had to choose I'd pick Sentai. It comes down to personal preference. Not that Sentai is "better" so to speak, but I feel the writing resonates with me, both with my own experiences and with what I aspire to become.
Between Power Rangers and Super Sentai, there's something for everyone if you give them a chance.
Every Sentai seasons are somehow connected because of the hand offs that started with dekaranger and gokaiger made it a fact that every Sentai starting with gorenger are all connected even the vs movies of super sentai literally teases a new Sentai and shows two Sentai fighting
Edit: Power rangers is nostalgic for me but as they that every season of theirs are connected while they say that Sentai seasons aren't connected like yeah they don't feel connected but they're connected but like kyuranger where the whole team are in space and king ohger isn't connected while it takes place on another planet I think 😅
Are the handoffs "canon" to the series because I'm pretty sure they're more like non-canon promotional and breaking the fourth wall kinda thing.
@@zjzr08 I guess they aren't canon but the vs movies are canon
@@zjzr08 sorry btw for that comment I forgot about that when I was typing
6:31 This doesn't really cut it because anything past megazord after the Zordon era is woefully inconsistent (like how the Skyrev Megazord is clearly an ultrazord but isn't officially considered one and don't even get me started on the samurai GIGAzord) and there's no real term for some of the single robot giant zords like the Red Battlezord, Warrior Wheel and Road Attack Zord. The wiki calls them "One-Piece Megazords" but they're never classified as megazords like some of their contemporaries and others such as White Tigerzord and Max Solarzord are instead classified as "warrior modes" and others still are carrierzords, not Megazords (except Tor, who is a shuttlezord, not a carrierzord).
to say the copy is better than the original is a crazy statement
Power Rangers... Super Sentai... I like them both. Well, I like SOME seasons, not all. I loved Flashman but Tokkyuger didn't do it for me. And I would agree that Time Force is an underrated classic and Power Rangers MegaForce was naff.
But personally I think this Power Rangers VS Super Sentai discussion / heated debate / whatever you want to call it, is just so tired. It's so many years old too (roughly 2 decades to be almost precise), and I think the only way to conclude this is to say that it's all subjective. Some people prefer Super Sentai, some people prefer Power Rangers, some people even prefer the Dynaman parody dub from Night Flight... Let it be. At the end of the day, it's all about multicoloured spandex clad superheroes kicking some intergalactic ass and piloting these giant robots... and that's what we love about both of them.
I can even remember so many years ago there was these ridiculous, heated, anger ridden debates about Bruce Kalish VS Doug Sloan. Both of whom were executive producers of the earlier Disney seasons of Power Rangers back in the 2000's. Specifically, Doug Sloan did Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder while Bruce Kalish replaced him and did SPD and onwards. And so many people were like "BRUCE KALISH!!!" "NO!!! DOUG SLOAN!!!" "RAAAAAGGGHH RAAAAAGGGHH RAAAAAGGGHH!!!", and I was like "Wow guys, chill!!!". It was almost as if Bruce Kalish and Doug Sloan overshadowed what Power Rangers was originally about. No more Zords? No more kicking intergalactic ass? Not even Tommy? No, it was all about just these 2 executive producers! Thankfully these heated debates eventually died off and were eventually forgotten about (or so it seems).
Hmm, I think maybe I'll watch some Flashman.
PR Cosmic Fury has no creativity, the suit is just base on the Original Green Power Ranger, the Chest Armor is a big reference. The Suit in Sentai has lots of Variation they even have the first Orange Ranger.
Honestly I’d say sentai has better continuity. Up to zhuogher it was all general in the same universe yet in power rangers you have the crossover episode yet those character are never mentioned again afterwards despite the villain trying to destroy the entire human race or rewrite history.
I mean why did the time force team have to help wes from not dying when earlier in the season we saw six other seperate rangers from the same time and arguably country in the same universe. Why didn’t lightspeed rescue help out in the end to stop their time from being ripped apart?
You could literally apply this to sentai aswell
why did the tokusatsu community become so mean the article itself not only triggered the fans because it was like written with ignorance and hit all the right critical spots for all tokusatsu fans, it was written by someone who just fact-checked with google or Wikipedia without watching the show. if the article alone does make sense or has a point it would be better, or maybe create an argument between fans, not a pure insult.
Solid Continuity: was something you wouldn't bring as a good point of a power ranger, even if it is from the mighty morphin era, the reason for the story even continues to ZEO and others because they have a hard time making stories and just connect it so they can re-use cast member or already existing prop. if it was something that they do from creativity it was okay, but it's fruit from a lack of creativity in adapting other series. one mistake hard to forget is what they did to Dairenger and Kakuranger it feels more like ignorance than creativity.
Morphin Grid: is a perfect example of a plot device of lazy writing, was made and reused by production so they don't have anything to be connected between the series because there is nothing else to connect between other series. every single series with continuity has them, and sentai was one of the founders of such a method. the difference is Sentai has at least has make it into other things so it will not become an overused plot device.
Comic: the comic is great, but be honest with me, no matter how professional and good is it. it feels like nothing more than fanfiction or doujin made by fans of the old era who want to bring them back with darker stories of their own, I respect and love them but the not as same franchise still produce by Disney. I have a hard time to think them as canon or not, hell if they do make it canon it only messes up the already over-the-place plot of Power ranger.
the Mighty zord: it is just a point that makes you angry because if there is one who make it a know tokusatsu or even research they should know there was at least classification for them, sure it was made by a fan but it was useable, besides even if you have classification there always episode unexplainable because they use whatever they want sometimes not matter how strong or weaker they are. the fact Saban to Disney only include the name of any literal form of object is with zord and people complain of classification, tick of many people.
Diversity: was not even a good thing coming from the ranger, the reason for diversity in the show was to keep the image of one in charge of the show so he would not be called racist or ignorant by the western audience, all problems about skin color and gender was the problem came with American problem, it was not diversity it was mandatory move use in every movie and tv show in western to keep their image. the fact that they can take other cultures like Dairanger, Kakuranger, Shinkenger, and Shurikenger makes them far from diversity, what I see was just ignorance. Super Sentai on the other hand made in Japan, with Japanese people, and all the best diversity they can get is getting people from different places and dialects in Japan.
yep
Agree, and I really agree with the 'Solid Continuity', what a crap points for PR. Their contuinity is really weird and have many unexplained things, and it solely just nostalgia reason if there are the so called continuity.
I can’t even tell which is worse
IGN or CBR
CNN is worse
Weebs: Nooooo! You can't just go around saying Power Rangers is better than sentai
IGN: GO! GO! POWER RANGERS!!!
xD pretty much the comments
@ridergamer9986 If you say you like PR more than SS they know where you live.
@ridergamer9986 I mean if you say you like Power Ranger more than Sentai the weebs will know where you live my guy.
"Good ol' diversity"
WHAT?? did they even watch just one complete season of super sentai?? they have various type of background and character that have enough diversity, its not always about the race, its kinda racist if you ask a japanese exclusive show to add foreign people on it, they already done it in kyoryuger once
and lupinranger vs patranger
It's racist to also say a show can't be diverse because it's Japanese.
Kyuurangers to the Main cast in story are all Aliens from different Planets even literal Androids with only one Earthling
@@kevinbaumhoer7359 a true diversity there😅
Hey marco's just a suggestion but I would like for you to do a video with other henshin heroes like talking about other henshin heroes from Japan its up to you man anyway that's it have good one
It was honestly a very cringe article.
.
for Zord/Mecha
Super Sentai have the power scaling, but not with the naming.
in Avataro Sentai DonBrothers for example
the main mecha/robot (5 rangers combined) is Don Onitaijin
the 6th ranger's mecha/robot (Tiger & Dragon) is Toradoragonjin
they combine to become Toradora Onitaijin, this is of course stronger than the 2 above
then the last form, with Omikoshi Phoenix, all of them become Toradora Onitaijin Kiwami.
BUT, actually before they combine, the leader/maybe all member shout the power scaling
"Dai Gattai" for Don Onitaijin & Toradoragonjin, this is like Big Combination
then "Chouzetsu Dai Gattai" for Toradora Onitaijin, Super Big Combination.
then "Kyukyoku Dai Gattai" for Toradora Onitaijin Kiwami!, an Ultimate Big Combination.
The Morphing Grid thing is weird to me because a good chunk of Power Rangers doesn't even reference it. After Mighty Morphin it was pretty much never mentioned again until like....Operation Overdrive I think? And then the Saban Brands series never referenced it. I think it made a full come back in the Hasbro era but yeah more than 2/3rds of the series don't even allude to the Morphing grid
IGN's argument FELL FLAT before it even began...
The Power Rangers was NOTHING MORE than a series of reused footages of fight scenes from the OG that it RIPPED OFF.
Some power ranger season are better than super sentai I like how Sentai has more crossovers but I like both.

This is my opinion, Super Sentai in my point of view has more feeling than power rangers. It has an awesome intestines fighting scene. If that makes sense.
I don't know if you want to say interesting or intense.
My own definition:
Interesting - something that caught ones attention in a good way
Intense - adrenaline increasing situation/scene etc
Intestines - organ in living beings where food pass through
Based on your opinion, I guess you want to say intense. Or you just want to combine interesting and intense which is weird it comes out as an existing word.
@@竜恐 I really couldn't say the word to express it but you do get Where I'm going with it?
@@shadowknight9434 what do you mean?! Of course I get it! There are some fight that are comical, but other than that, I get the the feelings of there's something at stake, some shit will happen if they lose.
Pardon me if it differs from your opinion.
@@竜恐 no your fine
Congrats!! You has started a war for tokufans, IGN!!
Ware wa kyukyoku seimeitai, Absolutian no senshi, Absolute Tartaros. Absolute Total Destruction.
The only thing I would say that power rangers ACTUALLY dose better than super sentai is their costume effects, the villains are relatively unchanged but once you get to characters like Anubis "Doggy" Kruger from SPD (aka Deka Master from Deka Ranger) power rangers has the much better suit for him and a lot of the "not fully Human but still Humanoid" characters, but that's just my opinion
Sadly enough, there are good points they missed. PR has powerups for every Red Ranger. Another good point is their Original rangers. They could have also pointed out the some of the toy series(like zap, legacy).
I mean if your are given out a comprehensive title like that, deep dive before going at it. Then we go back to the Iceberg.
It depends on what you really prefer, I do like Super Sentai but there are so much things that's kinda weird and will not be allowed to be shown in US media ( ex. That kiba ranger kid touching girls private area ) and I do like Power rangers but same thing theres a lot of childish moments but again its kids friendly show so I do get that part. Long story short it really depends on preference but mine I prefer power rangers shows over SS overall.
Havent watch sentai since 2010 or so but I will say 1 thing for sure. The best sentai I personally watched and would put it alongside Time Force, Wild Force and RPM would be Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger. The villian was insane, the violence was so gruesome for a kid but iy was intense! The twist in the episodes were great. And in some cases like the predecessor Hurricaneger some characters do die and have consequences in fighting reckless/without a zord. Kind of like Lightspeed rescue which is also another perfect season imo.
Honestly the main issues is that this article has a good number of misspelled and missworded sentences and the arguments are very weak
Crazy that when you boil it down the only positive over super Sentai is that they have more diversity which is hurting them more now because they're more focused on that instead of telling amazing stories like king ogher or actually doing good character development and storylines like and Don Brothers.
So why exactly do PR writers write worse because their characters are diverse?
@@Peasham the problem is when you think diversity makes up for the lack of good story time which is more prevalent. Power rangers than it is super Sentai
@@frostcloud18 The audience thinking diversity makes up for a good story does not mean the writers wrote the story worse because it's diverse.
I read the article, and I do admit that both franchises do certain things better than each other. So in the end, it balances itself out.
I only clicked to say this: Never listen to IGN
My favorite will always be Saban's Power Rangers Samurai no questions asked
Kamen Rider is better than both anyway. 😅
That article comes across as based, which is why so many responded to it negatively. They are two separate shows, that happen to use the same footage. The differences in what each group comes up with are fascinating.
For me I like Power Rangers because it is in English and I speak English
While this vid hasn't been released as of this writing, in my opinion super sentai is better
Power Rangers continuity makes no sense
Super sentai is way better than Power Rangers.
IGN mostly incompetent though, to be honest. I prefer Super Sentai is 10000 times better than power rangers. Since I'm a big fan Himitsu Sentai Goranger.
There's one thing I want to say to anyone, including @IGN
Shotaro Ishinomori is greater than Morphin Grid! Prove me Wrong!
FACTS
Well he died so...
@@basedbean6348 and so is tommy oliver actor
I get why people can like the Morphing Grid, but honestly it's one of the things that I think have kinda hurt Power Rangers, specifically because the series has always kinda struggled on making their counterparts themes actually mean something, the fact that Dino Fury is more recognizable by them yelling to the morphing grid to transform than for being dinosaur knights kills my soul, and this applies to a lot of seasons in general, honestly, I don't care if you keep the same themes, but do something, anything with it, RPM took the funny talking cars show about environmentalism and made it mad max, that's a cool use of something pre established, most of Disney era did that very well, even Dino Thunder which is far from their themes compared to Abaranger, kept the connection at least better than most PR shows, and the whole mirroring between it and MMPR helped that a lot.
Honestly, I think my biggest gripe with PR is just how they want to make their teams be generic super heroes, and this is specially shown by the Cosmic Fury suits lacking any semblance of personality or theming and looking like a fake superhero made for a sitcom 💀
I mean IGN isn't wrong
one of the reason is "good continuity"
WHAT??? dude power ranger has the most problematic of them all, not enough budget to adapt all of super sentai season so that's why they create the "Super" season that nobody asked for
facts
"Why power ranger better than sentai" and show one of the best Sentai that power ranger didn't copy.
what make sentai and power ranger is story i dont care about care about diversity or anything else and mecha of course
I mean... we know around episode 32-36 we get the final form of the zords... we don't call it Ultrazord but we know it's the 'Ultimate Mecha Combination'
As someone who grew up watching power ranger rather thn sentai I would still choose sentai over power ranger cause when I first watched sentai I literally cried I still remember how I cried after watching kyuranger power ranger never made me feel emotional watching it sentai literally has everything in it humour nd this sense of emotions tht I think newer power ranger series lack a lot plus sentai also has lots of gr8 character back story nd also character development like they have so many episodes based on each individual rangers nd I haven't seen smthing like tht in power rangers after rpm I mean they do try to do tht but they don't do it hole heartedly its like this episode they're focusing on this character developing their character the next episode puff all of tht development down the drain sentai atleast somehow makes me connect with the rangers power rangers have just slowly started to loose tht part
yeah, this is one guy that recieved the order for a filler and he went throught hastags
the guy is taking no actual paternity for this, did no research, went off by memory, and with the possible exceptions of correcting refuses, he won't go back to the article.
at least he was not one of the usual dumbasses that has never seen anything on the matter and improvised altogether. which is a ridicolous low bar, unfortunatelly
They have the morphin grid but we got Akared!
"Power Rangers was never good, PR fans just want to have s*x with Alpha 5"
FR I think there's things that PR has done not necessarily better, but things that have made it unique, it works when it doesn't feel like a watered-down Sentai, think In Space or RPM. But I'm down to clown on IGN regardless
Being a gaming writer, this is just some article that some editor had the idea of to get clicks and someone got paid $20 to write it and they just had to find 5 reasons worth talking about. Tbh, I would be surprised if the writer is actually into Super Sentai or has watched Power Rangers since he was a kid. The industry sucks.
I saw many comment about not Adapting Zenkaiger & Donbrother, but they can’t even make a good Season of Gokaiger adaptation so don’t even mention Kingohger!
reasons why Ice cream is better than pizza
1. Ice cream is cold and sweet, pizza is warm and salty
2. Ice cream is soft and eaten with a spoon. pizza is like a disk and has to be eat with your hands
so on and so forth
You can't speel IGNorant without IGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't agree.... Super sentai is better in my opinion
Man he dont know that super sentai can call ally like powerful kamen rider
Cant smell ignigognance without gin
The thing they both have in common is they both have some good seasons and sucky seasons. That's it.
Can’t spell ignorance without “IGN”
I've never seen Super Sentai, but is it really so good that nobody is allowed to have a subjective opinion on which is better?
All I can say is that you should at least watch some of the seasons.
@@mexxhan5981 is there a streaming service or something? I am genuinely interested.
Pick the "TH-cam-Alt" option as the Google Drive option might give some problems.
I often judge a media outlet based on capitalization of their article titles, and that lowercase "is" is a red flag. 😆
Super Sentai is a show where they respect every show in their franchise equally unlike power rangers who just forgets their show after it ends. Super Sentai even remembers and makes more movies after 30 years of a show released. Super Sentai is more mature. It has more emotions, comedy unlike power rangers who just forces comedy, like adding bulk and skull forcefully. Power Rangers is very cheesy. Super Sentai is far better than power rangers in every aspects
Super Sentai doesn't milks one show everytime unlike power rangers, who just milks mighty Morphin
I bring up comments like yours, where a lot of what you said is facetious.
In terms of the article, it seems like it's an Apples & Oranges sort of argument. While the article does bring up some points, it kind of overlooks a few others.
If they're trying to argue that only PR has plots that link together, Sentai has done the same with series like Denziman & Sun Vulcan. And the diversity point is also very hard to argue as the US is one of the few areas in the world with a huge melting pot of cultures and people. The closest we'd get to a diverse Sentai cast is Ishnomor's OG super team Cyborg 009. Like there is no way to counter-argue that Sentai can do something like PR given the population percentage in Japan.
