what was his connection with the other Hurrcangers?

not really other than Vexacus killing Zurgane since they used the footage for the death but re-shot a bit of it. Shurikenger was always in disguises at least until the truth was revealed about him.

wrong. Shurikenger is not the same as the Green Ranger and being that upset that they changed him that much isn't right.

I agree,Shurikenger is a lot better character than PRNS's version.Also having the past sentai actors play possible alter egos for Shuri was a very nice touch.

I wouldn't say he was better but rather more interesting.

I enjoyed it, mostly because it shows that PR can use Sentai and be creative to how its applied to the show. Honestly I would have like to have something similar to Hurricanger, but Jason Chan's character needed something like this, he's one of the better actors and fighters in the show.

that's a good point minus the acting and fighting part.

Wrong. Ripping something off would imply stealing the content.
Second of all you're just bitter that it's not Sentai but Power Rangers is creative.

Let's see where to begin?

MMPR1 = Zordon, Alpha and Command Center. Zordon and Rita having a rivalry. Green Ranger powers being restored. Goldar having a zord.

MMPR2 = Lord Zedd and his Chamber. Green Ranger loses powers. Peace Conference. White Ranger. Serpentera becoming a zord with battery issues to explain the limited footage. Rita's return. Wizard of Deception re-creating the evil Green Ranger.

MMPR 3 = Rito. Zord destruction. Ninjor and Ninja Quest. Master Vile. Kat being Rita's evil spell. Kimberly's storyline that resulted to her leaving and passing her power on to Kat. Master Vile.

Zeo = Machine Empire except for Louie Kaboom. Sprocket and Gasket being separate characters instead of the same character like he was in Sentai. New Ranger base. Gasket kidnapping Tommy and turning him evil.

Turbo = Havoc. Blue Senturion.
Space = Megaship, Alpha, D.E.C.A. Andros and his history. Zhane's history and his power issues. Andros and Karone/Astronema story. Ecliptor being loyal to Astronema even when he was re-built. Darkonda.

Galaxy = Trakeena eventually becoming a ruthless and skilled evil being so she had a good developing arc throughout the season. Deviot being devious. The whole thing with the original Magna Defender wanting revenge on Scorpius. The story with the Lost Galactazords. Kendrix being killed off but just on a temporary basis. Karone coming back. Psychos returning. Terra Venture.

Lightspeed = Titanium Ranger. Olympius and Diabolico having a rivalry once Vypra and Loki had revived Diabolico. Queen Bansheera trying to resurrect the previous creatures from the past. Aquabase.

Time Force = Ransik being more cruel than Don/Gluto is in Sentai. The Battle Fire story. Alex giving Eric the Mega Battle through the Q-Rex. Circuit.

Wild Force = nothing here I can really say other than Taylor and the teamups.

Ninja Storm = I think Vexacus was pretty much similar but Shimazu's counterpart is more goofy and since we already have Lothor, Kapri, Marah and Choobo as goofy villains I think it was a good choice to have the clown be 1 of the serious villains I also think it was a good idea to remove the bug bot from Zurgane but not thrill that we didn't get to see the smaller version of Motordrone but I do like that he and Eyesac have no relation other than knowing each other whereas in Sentai they were the same character.

Dino Thunder = Mesogog being 1 of the better villains

Quick question then. What would YOU have called him?

Bear in mind, they've already had the neuter the "Gyro Shurikens",
which is a sure sign that references to throwing stars are on their
"no can do" list. (Probably down to ABC's BS&P)

It is irritating, true. But (unfortunately) what is acceptable in
Japan and in America does tend to differ. And there are always going
to be times when the Sentai source material would be far too
questionably for the "Kids TV Higher-Ups" to allow - despite the fact
that Sentai fans and older PR-fans would probably appreciate it more.
He**, so would the kids! Bloody TV execs never give them enough
credit.

true but I doubt he cares unless it's the same as his precious Sentai.

There's also the simple fact that the switch from US to NZ for filming
would mean it would be impossible to do that on a budget. You'd end up
having to track down several former Ranger actors, probably have to
pay them extra for a guesting spot, AND fly them over to NZ. Too much.

Arguably, I'd have preferred someone else to end up as GSR and have
Cam stay in Ninja Ops. They have a believable tech-geek character, and
he was doing as much good behind a computer as the others were on the
field. And when he starts feeling insecure in his role, he suddenly
becomes a Ranger. I guess the geek in me would rather he stayed a
techie, BUT was able to discover that he had just as much true worth
as the others without being a Ranger.

I personally like him but he's not going to like him because he's not Shurikenger.

and you're the same but your show is even more crap not to mention it's tiring and sad

If someone's asking a serious question about something, you do not use
it as an excuse to bash the he** out of something you don't like. It
only shows you in a bad light.

people do have the freedom to say what they want as long as it's not against the rules but people who just bash just to bash are just annoying.

you should since people could be re-directing your attacks on Power Rangers on your beloved treasure that you apparently want to marry just like the Sentai Snobs on here do

now that's just sad that you feel the need to do that I mean do you seriously even have a life or is your life just to attack stuff that you hate?
