I dunno, I think her stupid face plays an important part in her role as opposed if she's "prettified".

My Zyuranger box set just arrived 
Dino Thunder (and the rest of the Disney seasons) got screwed from Super Megaforce. The least they could do is appear in Dino Charge.
I know Lynn reads Rangerboard so I would hope he's aware of the fandom's feelings towards Tommy lately (the overexposure) and will exclude JDF from appearing. Good thing Burai and Asuka are absent from the movie (unfortunately no Mikoto means no Trent)

They were better in every way, so of course.

The weirdest thing about that is that, SPD aside, there's probably at least one main cast member from each Disney season still active here in Australia or New Zealand so they're both accessible and relatively inexpensive but they were just completely overlooked by the entire process because they weren't Saban rangers.
Like, some of them were probably busy or at a point in their career where they consider themselves "above" Power Rangers now (Red and Blue from Mystic Force for example have pretty big roles in popular shows here in Australia, and Ninja Storm Yellow joined another recently) but between the lot of them you could put together a pretty decent assortment if you actually cared about the anniversary/celebration aspect of the season.
The weirdest was Nic Sampson (Mystic Force Yellow). He actually voiced a Monster of the Week, so he was clearly available. He could have done a cameo. But nooo, Tzachor can't have his precious vision tainted by the "evil" Disney seasons.
Don't toy with my emotions like that =(.
Exclude the most popular ranger and arguably the face of the Power Rangers from the team up? You know how easy it would be to market the fact that he's back and fighting AND with the other MMPR rangers?
SEcond weirdest goes to the SPD who ALL WOULD HAVE COME BACK. Hell, they could have even gotten Sam back as a "warn the rangers again" thing, but nope!

fuckin' called it, man
You know how easy it would be to not film any extra suit footage and leave it as is?
really? even jack?
Dino Charge doing what Super Megaforce should've? Hmmm.
MegaAnon is such a great guy. I remember when he throw a stream of old toku and some obscure anime to celebrate the release of Rider Generation 2.

Wait, the anti-Disney sentiment was real?
you know, if they were to use the beast go buster costumes instead of the standard, id be all for it. theyd also have access to gobus green and black.
None of the Disney actors got letters about the Legend War.
The only reason Jason Smith reprised Casey is due to his job on the writing staff. Even then he wasn't invited onto the set for the War.
It's just another garbage bag in the dump that was Megaforce.
I am... very, very okay with this.

True true. Idk, With the way Dino Charge has gone so far (i know, only two episodes) I wouldn't put it past them to do something.
I would be too. None of those rangers got to fight in what was supposed to be a grand event and then this pops up a year later? He'd have every right to be mad.

No JDF? All over it.
I don't see them coming back, David Yost has said he won't coming back, Walter Jones won't do it since it isn't a SAG production. Austin did speak to Judd Lynn at PMC but he has a movie to film soon likely around when this would be filmed. Karan pretty much shit on Saban during the the Mega War fiasco and Amy Jo said she would come back if asked but that was for the movie, not the show. I also doubt it is going to happen because the only source of this image is the one person that originally posted it, we didn't get multiple reports just one guy whose cousin saw it and sent it to him, and even his story is shady since he said that he saw it on twitter and then on his instagram says that he didn't see it. Why would the official account update at 5 AM EST?
I just don't understand how Saban flubbed it so bad. I get the why - the main target audience is like 5 and doesn't give a shit - but that didn't stop Toei from at least trying. I mean, they over there getting old ass dudes from the 70's to come back and reprise their roles and Saban can barely be arsed to get someone on their fucking writing staff to take part in the show. Goodness.
Yes! Tommy is not the be-all and end-all of Power Rangers, he is not needed for every team up ever. Leave him out of it, he just returned.
I wouldn't blame Saban (the man or the company), it's all Tzachors fault, he was in charge of producing the show. Saban flew the returning actors first class to New Zealand, Tzachor decided to only use them for glorified (or not so glorified in poor Mike and Emily's case ... where they even there?). I'm sure Saban was fuming when he saw what Tzachor had done and it's one of the reason's he's gone. what we saw of the old rangers could have been greenscreened in LA.

While Mega's seal of approval IS great since he loves Zyuranger, he isn't the translator. He was the QC/editor for the project. KouAidou was the translator.

Yep.
People, I'm looking back and I'm reminded of how much I loved Fourze. It was just so different from normal Riders. It was just such a good cast with a great overall vibe for the show.
It's like the anti-Wizard. I hated Fourze's designs so much, but the cast was great.

The show had some pacing issues in the middle, sure, but the show had so much charm it's hard to hate it.
Also reminds me how awesome Movie Wars Megamax was.
Come back, black helmet for Nigo!
Fourze was fantastic. I was new to Toku at the time, so Fourze's designs looked just like all the other Toku heroes to me at the time (and looking back, that is probably my favorite Rider design), but the story, characters, action, you name it, it was top-notch in Fourze. Top shelf Rider.
Fourze is fucking good. I really miss the team... I know they can't do it forever but still...
And if a team-up does happen on PR, no JDF period. Again, he is NOT the "be-all end-all" Ranger.
Shit like this doesn't help.

Same here, Fourze was just starting and I loved that, so I went and watched OOO as my first Rider show.
I still don't get what people expected them to advertise in that commercial. If there was one thing they needed to do, it's point out the fact that he's back. It was smart. Should they have also showed the other rangers? Yah, they should have, but getting JDF in there should and was priority #1.
To the large amount of people watching Nick, Post-MMPR Power Rangers doesn't exist. Everyone else (fans of the show) already knew about the Legendary battle and when it was airing. They were the last people who needed an ad to tell them this. This ad focused on the demographic who weren't aware and it hooked them with the one thing that would: someone from MMPR. If they had gotten more MMPR rangers back, they would have highlighted them as well.

fuckin' called it, man
Im not sure on that. Saban loves pushing tommy like hes ranger jesus.
He kinda is. Did you see how he just appeared out of nowhere to help that kid?
Actually, TJ was more like ranger jesus in that episode with how calming he was. Everyone should have gotten more screentime =(
Actually, for most people watching Nick pre-Samurai PR doesn't exist, so the marketing should have focused more on Mike and Emily, as much as I dislike Samurai, it was quite popular with the kids.
I doubt many adults who haven't watched PR since the Tommy days would have tuned in just because they showed him in a promo. I'd expect a reaction like "That's still on?" not "OMG, I have to watch that!", I doubt many people watched just for Tommy, the ratings certainly didn't show a significantly higher interest in the finale.
I kind of feel the show might have been better if they were always kids, and not kids in adult bodies.
Something like Beetleborgs.
Yeah, everything makes more sense if they were always kids, it would seem like a lively imaginative kids adventure as opposed to deus ex machina nonsense with grown men and women acting like creeps.
That does seem pretty cool story-wise, but
while I appreciate the drive to be original, those original suits destroy most of the entertainment of the scene. Albeit Sledge's suit looks better in sunlight, that Keeper suit is atrocious with those horrific eyes. Hopefully they are using Torin's suit for something more special later in the show, but if they aren't, then they really should have used that suit for The Keeper instead. Would have been cheaper and looked better.
But most of those children actors in toku are terrible.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
yeah toku child actors tend to be bad
which is I guess a plus for US toku - decent enough child actors
