- You say that it has no plot? It actually has. It's a typical space pirates get caught up in the invasion of Earth just because they happen to collect what Earth needs to defend itself. I'm not sure how this didn't seem like a perfect plot to you.
Isn't that the same basic plot any sentai has? "five teens or whatever are lumbered with some weird stuff to figure out"? I'm talking outside the main story, what are the sub plots? The plots that keep the show interesting and watchable, Like The Kai and Wolzard feud or the Takeru kicked off the throne by Kaoru story, or even the ongoing mystery of Buredoran? Goukaiger just isn't giving me that.
You say that the Gokaigers have to earn the Ranger keys... Are we watching the same show? Yes they already have the keys, but what they earn isn't actually the key, but the hidden power for their mecha. (ie MagiDragon, PatStriker) Remember the episode where they kept on trying the Ranger keys on Gokai-Oh, yet nothing happens and the audiences were disappointed? THAT.
Forget the Goukaioh upgrades, I said it would have made the show more interesting if they actually had to earn the damn henshin powers as opposed to just having them, that could have made the returning characters seem more needed when you unlock the ability to use their suits. :redface2:
- You say that the anniversary has overtaken the Pirate theme?
I'm saying that it could have been exercised to a better level where they don't have to worry about meeting an old senshi every two episodes to grab new upgrades, the show annoys me in that field, one episode mediocre, then awesomeness then mediocre again.
- The Zangyack haven't done anything? They actually did already, and they got wasted... Twice. So they're being careful, trying to do things slowly which can lead to whatever their goal is. (ie ground rockets, golden fruit bearing tree for new weapons, etc.)
You mean what an average team of villains do? even in earlier sentais like Goseiger, Magiranger, Boukenger and even Shinkenger by the time episode 7 came the senshi had already got to know at least one or more of their enemies and what they hope to accomplish in our world.
- Not living up to the hype? Dude, you're the only one I've seen complaining about the show
Shall i make you a list?
I might sound rude, I've just been to my boxing class so I'm a bit tired, but if you really don't want to watch the show, they don't. It's really your choice.
Not rude at all, In fact your criticism of my post is deeply appreciated.
:laugh:
I had to stop right there. Because Goseiger had a sooo deep plot at this point. So much going on...what a fantastic first third, that was.
Meaning that when fans mocked Goseiger at this point of having little of a plot, Goukaiger doesn't seem to have one at all yet people love it?
Not just that, many of your points make little sense. You complain about "lack of plot" then go on to praise Boukenger. Really? The series about the McGuffin of the week?
Honestly, it feels more like a case of "i simply don't wanna like this show but i'll try to make up reasons anyway"...there's no way to "help" you on it.
At least Boukenger had some form of story to entertain me.
You don't think finding the greatest treasure in the universe a plot?
Well considering the fact that "Five Gosei angels are sent from the Goseikai by master head to protect the earth from an evil force called Warstar, they destroy the Heaven's Tower the bridge between the Earth and the Gosei World, home of the Gosei Angels, to keep them from interfering. However, five apprentice Gosei Angels are on Earth at the time and, while finding a way to return back home, they become the Goseigers to stop Warstar" doesn't seem to count as a plot in the eyes of the fandom i can't see why that should get off the hook.
Who would they earn their keys from? From AkaRed? Personally, I love the fact that they've already gotten the keys, because without it we won't have been treated to some of the best action sequences we've seen in the first 7 eps, from Joe's Blue Final Wave with his five sword technique, to JAKQ's tornado, and the Sun Vulcan kicking it old-school.
While i agree we would've missed out on a lot of great action scenes, i still would have rather had a solid reason as to why the hell the goukaiger should be allowed to just play around with the powers of 34 Supersentais, I would have preferred them having to earn the power of a sentai, because personally mecha forms don't seem like a price worth their efforts when they something as powerful as the rangerkeys, they should earn the suits with a (If necessary) mecha upgrade.
Yes, Gokaiger's dominated by their anniversary gimmick, JUST LIKE DECADE. But the difference between Gokaiger & Decade is that whereas Decade has forgettable characters and old Kamen Rider recast as new actors, Gokaigers treat the previous sentai series with alot of respect, and they have cameos of original actors reprising their role. While it's true that Gokaigers haven't done anything particular pirate-y, such as robbing and pillaging like pirates of old, but do you really expect them to be antagonists? I see Gokaigers more as freedom fighters going against an enormous galactic empire.
Most will kick my *** over this remark but Decade did not feel as dominated and tight as Goukaiger is.
Gokaigers do go on a journey, unless you've forgotten around the lessons they learnt like courage (ep 2), love > money (ep 6) and confidence/bravery (ep 7). They may have their powers from the get-go, but each members have alot to learn and discover about themselves.
I could have gone overboard with that remark.
And what other series have such memorable characters like Capt. Marvelous, Joe, Luka, Don, and Ahim? I tell you, there is no series like Gokaiger.
Really? There is Gekiranger, Liveman, Maskman, Goranger, Battle fever, Denjiman, Turboranger, Megaranger, Timeranger, GoGoV, Gingaman, Dekaranger, Magiranger, Jetman, Boukenger, Go-onger, Shinkenger AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND Abaranger, I Still don't think the Goukaiger we got is anything like what the main course could have been, now thats my opinion and i honestly don't think it would make a hell of a lot of difference to the fans if one or two people hate this show because there will always be haters for everything, and it looks like this year I'll be sitting on the side lines and watching OOO instead.[/HIDE]
This is a damn good series. lol
