Re: Lothor in Ninja Steel
I have a hard time believing that Disney would be against team ups. I think they just realized they were better served as only being once in awhile. Which Saban Brands now knows too. They were smart to take a page out of Disney's playbook. If only the produced the show exactly like Disney.

Re: Lothor in Ninja Steel
If Saban was going to bring back an old villian it wouldn't have been Lothor. It would have come from one of his old seasons. Most likely Master Vile.

Re: Lothor in Ninja Steel
Saban would have used his infulence over Toei to include Vile's counterpart in the Source Sentai.
Also now that I think about it. I think its very likely Saban had "Forever Red" and the Time Force team up planned ahead before the sale. Disney just used his ideas. Saban most likely had Wild Force all written. |

Re: Lothor in Ninja Steel
Amit had to fight for "Forever Red". Disney had no interest into doing the team up. Amit had to compromise and do only one episode instead of three. Also there was the infamous Wild Rider compromise. "Forever Red" doesn't get made without Amit's lobbying. He also came up woth the whole storyline. Even though he was forded to use the Beetleborg suits. He still made ot work.
Amit was also the creative driving force behind the Time Force team up. And really all of Wild Force. Obviously he had to answer to Jonathon. But since Tzachor was more of a director, Amit really was in charge of the creative. |

Re: Lothor in Ninja Steel
The idea JDF had any creative role in "Forever Red" flies in the face of everything we know. And its not a knock on JDF. He was an actor, writing the episode wasn't his job. I
The Saban stuff is obviously fantasy. But thats been pointed out plenty of times. We also know Saban has always beem more of an owner and not a day to day production guy. He may have had a vision for MMPR but he hired his crew to put it in focus. |
