Honestly I think toqger could be popular in America but only to the older audiences and not the younger audiences even if only toys of the megazords and morphers were released
I hope in the 30th season, it will have an episodes of All red, All blue, All Yellow, All pink, all black, all green, all white, all gold, all silvers. Then Movies for the Skipped Sentai Series I hope they will just use the Costumes/suits of the Skipped rangers Teams but different story line
I hope that they will make a movie or series of the Skipped ranger(super sentai) teams with different storyline from the super sentai Or they can just use the suits/costumes of the Skipped Super Sentai teams then create new story
I've always felt there was two big flaws in the "kids don't like trains" reasoning behind them skipping TocQger: 1) kids absolutely do love trains, and not just the preschool crowd. Trains pop up in kids show and other forms of entertainment alot because they're fun to use as a literary device; there's a well established romantic notion of riding the rails on some exotic adventure. If you don't believe me, look up how many Hogwarts Express train sets have been sold over the years. But more importantly, 2) the idea that kids don't like trains is purely an American cultural mindset. Even if the colorful imaginative adventures of a TocQger adaption wasn't enough to sell any zord sets stateside, pretty much every other country (Western and Eastern) that Power Rangers gets distributed to has some sort of rail line system as an integral part of their public transportation infrastructure. You can't tell me any train zords wouldn't sell like hotcakes in the international market, especially given how easy they would be to collect and play with. Really I think it was just easier to blame it on the season being train-themed than it for them to outright say the whole season felt too "childish" for the boys 6-10 market they were aiming for, like they aren't an aisle over from the Barbie dolls and Playmobil toys in the average supermarket.
The kids don't like trains reason is actually the first time i have heard of said reason but it could be based on the more commonly talked about reason for why they decided to skip toqger which was actually that the show had really disappointing toy sales in japan and since power rangers like a lot of other kids shows exists to sell toys they do look at the sales data from the sentai shows more when they are optioning the shows Since they had the disappointing toy sales data and kids possibly not going to like show due to the train theme and probably other reasons as well they like the video mentioned went with the safer option to adapt instead.
@@Teh_Spirit well, now that's a different matter all together. If you can't sell a show about trains to kids in Japan you're doing something wrong! Always sad when it's the more inventive seasons that wind up doing poorly in toy sales, because the whole color/power swapping thing and being able to bring the things they imagine to life are pretty interesting concepts, at least on paper. Kind of ironic given that they went with the simplified train motifs to keep things *streamlined* enough to bring all these big ideas they had for the show to life.
I live in tasmania and we pre much only have the 1 train line that goes from south to North and it hasn't been used for passengers for many years now, it is barely used now only the occasional freight train u see going through like once a year. Doesnt mean kids here don't like trains though because they do.
Basically, if I were to adapt "ToQger" as a "Power Rangers" series, I'd make it time travel themed much like "Kamen Rider Den-O". The Rangers would use their Rainbow Line Train to chase the Shadow Line across time and space ala "Doctor Who". I'd make the main rangers foster siblings. Mainly so "Power Rangers" could finally try out the sibling team dynamic "Super Sentai" has done several times before (Fiveman, GoGoV & Magiranger) whilst also being able to continue the show's tradition of having a racially diverse cast. Also, I can't find it at the moment, but I remember at a Power Morphincon panel Blue Ninja Steel Ranger Peter Sudarso commented on how he'd personally adapt the Sentai "Zyuohger". If I remember correctly, he said he'd have it be similar to the premise of the 2019 film "Jumanji: The Next Level", in that it tells the stories of kids who get sucked into a video game and have to fight enemies in the digital world in order to get home whilst having to live in teenage/young adult avatar bodies, but with the minds and emotionally maturity of preteens. He said that this would be so that the adult actors would have a logical in-story reason to act like younger kids.
we can also say we technically had a train power ranger series cause of lightspeed when they got their secondary zords which was a train megazord, also we can look at another series that had multiple zords power rangers operation overdrive that kinda was a train wreck,
Toqger might look childish if somebody hasn't watched the show but it does get dark later on. Really one of the most splendid seasons out there with great antagonists and protagonists.
Toqger is a series which is childish from outside but have a dark tone from the inside the best thing I like about this season is the friendship /character boldness to each other and dynamic emotions I literally cried while last three episodes of it
Except that even Saban skipped this, none of the people in charge of PR want to adapt it. Plus, they've been using the villain suits since at least Ninja Steel, as the host of that alien gameshow is a modified suit of the main villain of TOQGer, and Void Queen uses a villain suit from TOQGer as well.
I really don't like that they have ti make two seasons instead of making only one with 40 or more episodes making possible to get new seasons every year.
As the father of a toddler...kids LOVE trains! Though, especially with the other cultural elements, I could see this being a very difficult one to adapt for the slightly older kids.
Why not incorporate a ghost train theme into it, where the ghost locomotives get purified and made into zords? Edit: I had an idea like that for my own independent Tokusatsu series, but then I figured that could also work for a PR adaptation of ToQger, depending on how it’s executed.
@@AndrewHager02 Given the aesthetic of the villains I guess the ghost train idea could work. My idea would be that the train megazord our rangers use is a train that is used to travel between dimensions. And that the Rainbow Express Rangers (Toqgers) are charged with protecting the dimensional barriers from being destroyed by evil forces. Where the main villain King Necros (Emperor Z) plans to destroy the barriers and cover all the worlds in darkness. If it were up to me I'd have a Toqger adaptation be a mini-series.
It's really the culture. It's too specifically "Japanese" trains and all their rules and memes that don't really translate to US audiences well. Like everyone panicing to stay behind the lines because Japan takes train rules very seriously while US does not. I've seen more than one older kid actively flaunt the train lines just because they get a kick out of doing something they aren't supposed to do.
3:28 it already happened in Jetman. Granted it was more bird themed than planes but there was a good amount of aerial combat in the series if I’m remembering it correctly.
Yup but it was too adultish to adapt and dinosaurs was a big thing so zyuranger was you know but if it wasnt for dinosaurs being a big thing maybe we could've gotten jetman
@@prettycureforever7102 The main problem with Jetman was there was too many scenes in the mecha cockpits where the actors were out of costume, which they obviously couldn't use in PR. And since they couldn't shoot their own footage in season 1 much that left them unable to use it.
The only way Tokkyuuger can be believably adapted is to go the Beetleborgs route and have a whole team of children as the Rangers. And have Orange be a young teenager around 13 or 14. But just for that season alone and that's it.
Funnily enough... They're actually "kids" in the sentai series. And I don't know if you have watched ToQger or not, but if they decide to adapt it to PR, they definitely need to keep the plot twist on who the Orange Ranger is.
I feel like Toqger could have a chance of being next just because of Void Queen. Maybe she’ll be a villain to continue into the next series and the series could end up being Toqger
I want Toqger's adaptation as a spiritual sequel to Lightspeed Rescue by bringing back Carter Grayson as a mentor to the Toqger's that would have been cool by bringing back the serious aspects despite Power Rangers is far from too childish since Disney entered the chat.
Power Rangers Train Machines: - Barry Griffin as Red Train Machines Ranger. - Kurt Madden as Blue Train Machines Ranger. - Olivia Goodman as Yellow Train Machines Ranger. - Daniel Howell as Green Train Machines Ranger. - Gwen Watson as Pink Train Machines Ranger. - Rick Andrews as Orange Train Machines Ranger.
It was more than just trains. The series also put a heavy emphasis on the power of Imagination and the batter between the light and the dark with the Rainbow Line and the Darkness Line.
How I think they could go around these factors when it comes to adaptions: -Make the railway intergalactic, so it is a series of 'space trains'. -Have it set in the future, which will explain away way the trains look all shiny and colourful or some sh*t like that. -Have the rangers be little kids that transform in a manner like Shazam, which will explain away why they are 'childish' (which is a stupid reason why it isn't adapted as PR is for kids anyway) -Or just make THIS particular series a comedic Power Rangers series that doesn't take itself seriously except for the dark parts, and a team that banters with each other, and clearly not the type of rangers you'd expect but their heart is in the right place and end up saving the day in the end.
I would totally see that had it not been Nickelodeon's "brilliant and smartest" decision of splitting a single PR season INTO TWO PARTS FOR NO GOSH DARN REASON!!!!! BECAUSE OF THEIR STUPIDIEST AND DUMBEST DECISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT MADE ME WANT TO SUED THEM SO BAD!!! It also made me wish that Disney should've gives the right back to Saban back when RPM were airing at the times and it aired on a different channel like Cartoon Network instead, which would've been one of the only live-action shows on the channel, folks.
I really enjoyed ToQger as a series. The story was very well done, and the ending was bittersweet. I am glad it was never adapted to the USA, as I don't think they'd be able to do it justice.
I wouldn't say the ending is bittersweet, it was still very happy. Spoiler for a show from 8 years ago, the scene where the five finally reunited with their families are still pretty tearjerking.
I would've had the series take place on another planet, similar to Earth, which life would've revolved around trains. The planet's culture would be similar to Earth's western/cowboy culture but more modernized. The villains would be the original rulers of the planet, imprisoned by an unknown force centuries ago, who are accidentally freed and begin shutting down the main stations of transport all over the planet, which in turn would cripple and decimate life, as they try to reclaim total power. Five strangers would be chosen from the five main districts to work together as Power Rangers, a force which has never been seen on this planet.
Something that seems to be forgotten is that while power rangers shows are made in the US and new zealand, they are spread across the world - the uk and korea have notable train systems and they do recieve the adaptations (though more here and there for korea), so while it may be less popular in the us, there could've been potential for it to explode abroad.
I always wanted a train-themed Power Rangers team as a kid. So seeing the only train-themed sentai not get adapted makes me sad. I get it, but it still sucks. Granted given Hasbro has been wasting the potential of a show like Dino Fury with dinosaurs and knights I don't think they can have the excuse of not doing a Toqger because it won't sell. Because they haven't been doing a good job in distributing Dino Fury toys. If we went back to one team per year we likely could have gotten Toqger, but I doubt it. At the very least I hope they go the route of the Alien rangers. Where they don't really get a full show but are still incorporated into the Power Rangers universe somehow. Same goes for the other Sentais that have currently been skipped.
The train thing was not the only problem with adapting ToQger. How the Zords and Megazords are portrayed was also a problem. Having the Rangers acting childish all the time wouldn't work either.
@@johnnymason3265 As if we don't already have childish messages and childish slap-stick comedy already in Power Rangers. Especially in the more recent shows.
@@anthustenebris9202 That's what I was thinking when I was coming up with my own Toqger adaptation. And using that as inspiration as well as how the Toqgers already travel from town to town. They're rangers that operate a rail system that allows travel between the dimensional. And act as guardians to protect the barriers so that evil forces don't destroy them and infiltrate other worlds. Where the villains, the Shadow Line seeks to destroy the barriers and cover all worlds in darkness.
Yes I like that last part like how the rangers lost there powers in season 3 an needed help from the alien rangers an they never had a full series but a mini series would work for me
I agree about ToQger will remain as Sentai-Exclusive Ranger team now and forever, due to the trains are most popular in Japan. And Simon said the same thing also, because of the toys sales looks awful.
toy trains do sell mostly at Christmas time as that is the only time we see them in most stores. the real reason marketers do not think they would sell is because they been told for years that they do not sell. when was the last time you saw a commercial for toy trains? Polar Express movie? that was 18 years ago. before then? they do not sell for so few toy trains are made. so few toy trains are made for they do not sell. they do not sell for so few are made. and so on with this endless reasoning loop. they said they same thing about comic book super hero movies before the first X-men film. now you have the massive MCU.
So the only reason I knew about this super Sentai was because in 2016 I had a coworker tell me he was in japan and had a cameo scene in “the train rangers series” that never came to be 😂 I couldn’t really fact check him.
We literally have a company called Amtrek that goes across America.....and comparing subways in three cities to commuter trains is.....well its not a fair comparison.
@@hiEste Not really. It’s just transplants that moved into urban metros that are complaining about homeless transients and vagrants. The trains of American public transit are actually improving, especially here in my home, Westlake/Pico Union/Koreatown of Los Angeles.
It's sad that we will never see Toqger as rangers. I would've loved to see train rangers. I know we got Lightspeed Rescue, but that was more a theme of emergency workers. Only their secondary zords had a train theme. Maybe the Boom Comics could do something with Toqger. I think it would be cool to see that team in the USA in some fashion. I would've called the adaptation "Power Rangers: Express Trains". I think it wass a bad idea to skip it, but I can't do anything about it. I liked this video. E-squad.
Asking for the people that make the comics for BOOM! to do anything with Sentai only teams is idiotic, all that means is that the writers will use the Sentai only teams as fodder in order to make the MMPR team look better for beating whatever villain beat the Sentai teams.
Toqger can be adopted into Power Rangers when the timing is right. If Hasbro decides to adopt that Sentai that means they will have to change some things and take some things out.
I would love to see this adapted, but i feel if they’re going to adapt any super Sentai right now it’s gonna be Zyuohger. Both would be interesting to see
@@brendanvaughan3272 you can't really compare Kyoryuger/Dino Charge and Kyuranger, Kyoryuger are still mostly about the six while the other four are more like guests, while Kyuranger are always marketed as the nine (later twelve) as the main members.
Saban Hasbro: We didn't accept trains but kids in ranger! Kid Power Rangers Turbo Blue Ranger: Am I joking to your puns? ToKyuuger is popular here in Japan. Because of Ressha or Shinkansen!
If this had been the 25th anniversary season, it would’ve been better than ninja steel ever was, and I possibly could’ve been on it since I was basically 12 at the time. Yeah, Big mistake! Sure, did you steal was a fun ride and everything, but I really think that “Power Rangers metro force“ would’ve been better.
I've heard one of the reasons it wasn't adapted was because it'd wouldn't make sense story wise because of how trains are so uncommon in the US, but the solution is so simple. Have it be set in the RPM universe or on Mirinoi. Make the backstory that they developed railroads to easily transport goods to different colonies. Have the villains be an alien army or an ancient evil and that they've taken over most of the colonies and so these train rangers have to put a stop to them.
I think a ToQger adaptation can be made as sort of a sequel to Lightspeed Rescue. Carter Grayson - Lightspeed Red - is the mentor for a new group of Rangers, the Rail Rescue Force. There would be returns of some old Lightspeed villains and some villains from ToQger. Also, Carter could return as the 6th Ranger, badassery and all...
The idea that they couldn't do it because the theme wouldn't fit is baffling because that's kinda the point of Power Rangers, in my mind. It's a loose localized adaptation of Super Sentai. Skipping series like that is basically like skipping entire books of Harry Potter. Just, we're not going to do Goblet of Fire, just skip it, no need. And if the theming of that particular series makes it difficult to adapt locally, well that is when you get the good writers in. They've done it before! Look at RPM! A dark gritty series about the post-apocalypse. You couldn't get darker without the planet actually exploding. The bad guys have already won. Billions are dead. There's only one city left. Now, the closest you can get to victory is survival. That's fucking dark! That's the darkest I've ever seen any media that is ostensibly for kids go. Only thing that comes close is Animorphs and that's basically about children committing war crimes. And the sentai series RPM was based on? Well it was one of the most juvenile kid-friendly series in the entire franchise, and it was themed around mecha which were cartoonish fusions of cars and animals. But they already planned to make it something dark and gritty. And rather than say, 'that couldn't work,' they asked, 'how can we make it work?' And they did a brilliant job at it. Now, let's look at Toqger, and consider a parallel universe where *that* was the season they tried to make dark and gritty. It... just... Snowpeircer. Like, the entire series is basically Snowpeircer. I'm not saying it would be easy, but it could work. If you try, you can make anything work. They just gave up too easily.
"Kids don't like trains" Me, as someone who noticed my little brother be absolutely obsessed with trains for over 15 years as he was growing up...... "Are you sure about that?"
yeah it's weird that Saban didn't adapt ToQGer, they could at least adapt it into 1 season, just like Megaforce (which is just Goseiger). also since Power Ranger likes to make new stuff (like armor), they could make new armor based from previous Power Rangers, because the toys already exist (7:30)
Both would be great. I watched both Sentai series. It'll be tricky to do Zenkaiger completely cause of the same issues that Super MegaForce had - instead of 35 super sentai seasons, you have 45. Least the rangers in zenkaiger are iconic in Power Rangers, plus the powered up modes. Only issues I see with Kiramager would be all the gemstone and jewel designs, but it does have all the cool vehicles that kids will go after, even a pair of trains.
@@Ragetiger1 relying on original photage will make Zenkaiger easier to adapt. Super Mega Force was simply lazy writing on the writers and being too reliant on stock photage. given all the costumes made for the big start of the legendary battle they could have shot more original photage to replace the none American teams with trick editing like used in the second season as well as cut out the whole goseiger suits after the getting the new morphers. a toqger adaptation would be a great way to start the multi show idea that hasbro had talked about when it first bought the franchise for the younger demographic as they could play up the whole child rangers idea.
I’m still really disappointed that we haven’t gotten this season and honestly )while I can see the reasons this season couldn’t be adapted ) I believe the people running power rangers just have to look past any potential flaws these unadapted Sentai may have and strive for their potential already. We keep hearing “this Sentai can’t be adapted because…..*blank* reason”. “tokkyuger can’t be adapted” “LuPat can’t be adapted” “kyuranger can’t be adapted” at a certain point what CAN be adapted?? The real reasons (in my opinion) these seasons “can’t” be adapted is because, the people running the show have the luxury of picking and choosing what is the easiest season to adapt now that we are so far behind the Sentai. Instead of just taking what they’re given and doing their best to make it work; they can now skip and make excuses as to why they “can’t” adapt whatever season.
And tbf they could also make these seasons even better like why can't we have an anti hero vs hero lupin vs pat why can't we have another space series its been ten years since in space kyuranger could be a sequal most of these shows sentai made can be sequals but it's all about money not taken any chances which sucks they might as well quite no one will keep watching dinosaurs ninja and repeat
@@prettycureforever7102 definitely true and that’s a great point that you have; not only could we make the seasons better but, we should be able to cause we know what stuff did and didn’t work with the Sentai seasons in Japan. Example 1: don’t make the toqgers children 2: give equal focus between both lupat teams not just lupin rangers 3. Find a better method to develop the multiple kyurangers at a gradual pace. Since we’ve seen the feedback the Sentai got; we can work around and fix things not say “skip”
idk why but i always wished they went the rpm approach and gave us a darker show where the world is trying to repair the damange done by venjix and they could have made the goofy outfits or trains made by doctor k which would fit her personality (making zords with anime eyes) and could let us see older versions of characters like ziggy and doctor k or possible students/children.
it's really sad that they abandoned ToQger,I am a huge sentai fan and i love ToQger,the story is really good. spoiler ahead The "childish behavior" you talked about is because they are kid!They don't look like it but they are!Also those different themed trains are not a very important plot point but rather a small upgrade to the robot.
I've always pictured this as a potential Lightspeed Rescue sequel. Perhaps the rangers as kids could play an important role and I do like how they can change into each other's colors.
2:54 As a kid that grew up in Ohio with trains right outside my window… I would be obsessed with seeing the colors of the trains, and all the different spray paint art. One time this old 1920’s lookin’ train came by… yeah trains are awesome. Maybe you wouldn’t think it, but Ohio is a big logistics hub, and a lot of states in the midwest have train tracks quite often. I’d think a season about trains would be really successful.
Can you PLEASE do a review of Jetman? It was the last Super Sentai to not be adapted into Power Rangers for a very long time and is EASILY the most adult entry in the franchise as well as a perfect example of how lax Japanese broadcasting laws were regarding children’s shows!
I personally really liked trains as a kid, and I feel like it could as Power Rangers if done correctly!! I would personally tie these powers in with the LightSpeed Rescue powers by, making them be developed by the same government organization that developed those powers. I hope that we at least get ToQuger in the form of a comic book storyline, and make them some how connected to taking down Void Queen if she's still around after Dino Fury.
ToQger was not the only rejected SS team. According to the producers, Kyuranger has too many rangers and LupinVSPat was rejected because real thieves are evil and some real cops too. No official word about Zyuohger, Kiramager, Zenkaiger or Donbrothers. Officially Hasbro also announced that they will drop Super Sentai for good and develop their own, totally original PR season.
They have never once said that they are officially dropping Sentai adaptations yet. That's still a rumor. The only thing we know is that the new Netflix show that isn't connected to the original continuity will be wholely original. But so far nothing on the current kids show.
They easily could have filmed this series in the U.K. with U.K. based actors and it would have been a solid hit, definitely be some slight culture shock for Americans but not nearly as much as the Showrunners were expecting.
pre-schoolers like trains, late elementary kids don't. the train in Lightspeed Rescue was a low selling Zord back in the day. if you want to make a PR geared to little kids, go ahead but you'd alienate the older kids
I wonder if their gonna do that as part of the rebooted universe that will go on Netflix. If you could be any of the rangers colors introduced in the sentai universe that was not brought over, which one would it be?
Isn't that just orange? We've gotten purple/violet, white, and every other rarely used colour except for orange. The only way we'll ever get orange is in a Kyuranger adaptation, since SasoriOrange is part of the core 9.
All I have to say is: dang it, Hasbro! Potentially my favorite Power Rangers season could have changed from Dino charge to whatever Toqger could have been in America, but now I guess we won’t get that.
Thomas the Tank Engine, Chuggington, Dinosaur Train... kids love trains. I do think it has potential to make for a good Power Rangers series. It all comes down to lazy marketing on Saban and later Hasbro's behalf and anti-train propaganda in North America. Saban foolishly claimed that Pirate toys don't sell well to justify the poor Gokaiger adaptation. The true answer is the creative team behind Power Rangers are inept. Maybe that has changed recently but only time will tell.
Trains can be fun, but I'd blame just a general lack of train representation in both real life and in merchandising (Thomas seems to mostly be the only available stuff unless you go to niche train related shops)
ToQger is easily in my top 5 Super Sentai series. It sucks that it wasn't adapted but I'm glad also. I don't think they could do the story justice and butcher it like they did with Super Megaforce. I'm ok if it doesn't get adapted.
RW: i love trains and that ,btw RESSHA SENTAI TOQGER was rly my 1st super Sentai show that i had the chance watching from beginning to end btw it wasnt easy trying to find the crossover/movie specials either and i still think that yt still has their live stage show episode online,not unless they have taken it off and tbh i would love to see this show to be adapted into a power rangers series like if the title was POWER RANGERS RAIL FORCE or POWER RANGERS TRAIN SQUAD or either way you would change the words around,and if i was a TOQGER from that series i would be TOQ 9 Black using some sort of mattock and pickaxe like weapons and my train would be like the one from The Hogwarts express from Harry Potter with a few changes with design to look similar to it even having a robot girl related to Wagon from the show and she would be named Snow ❄ as ToQ 10 White using some kind of weapons like a shovel and a spade ,and if this show was adapted into a power rangers series it would go through alot of changes on so many levels but it will have some refs from its Sentai counterparts and refs from like trains from past ranger shows.(btw RESSHA SENTAI TOQGER was one of my favorite sentai series,even with GOKAIGER and KYURANGER)
I think Magiranger (I haven't seen it yet) has a steam-train mecha, and that season was inspired by the popularity of Harry Potter if I understand correctly.
There are train fans in the US but most are more into the old-style Wild West choo choo train with the smoke stack and cowcatcher. As for plane rangers, there was a pre-MMPR Sentai called Jetman but that was more based on birds than planes.
I think a one off train megazord as an extra megazord for the five core rangers or as the megazord of the sixth ranger like in the case of lightspeed rescue and mystic force respectfully is ok but to make an entire season completely based off trains just wouldn't work in America. Now a Super Sentai show that I think would make a terrific Power Rangers show would be PatRanger VS LupinRanger. Cops vs robbers what kid wouldn't mind seeing that. Two of my favorite Power Ranger shows where based off the law enforcement and lawbreakers concepts. Time Force and S.P.D. and both of those were awesome
ToQger deserves a Power Rangers adaptation series but it should be different in terms of combining new villains with the ToQger villians. Dairanger and Kyuranger should also be adapted as Power Rangers seasons each with new villains and monsters with Dairangers controlling the Thunderzords and Kyurangers with some new villains and some monsters from the Kyuranger series with Kyurangers controlling the Cosmic Fury Zords.
So, fun fact: this is the first Super Sentai season I sat down and watched beginning to end; I binged it in less than a week back in 2020 (which was really easy to do, because…you know.) I had tried to initially get into Super Sentai with Zyuranger, and I’ve since watched it and liked it, but ToQger was such a heartwarming story with awesome heroes and villains (despite there being a s3cks robot named Wagon that’s all leather and has a handle on top of her head; like, JESUS, calm down, Toei). Chances are we aren’t gonna see this season get adapted, so I recommend Power Rangers fans (even those who don’t like Sentai all that much) give it a watch and at least see what COULD have been.
I mean... a robot like that has nothing on Malshina from Akibaranger season 1 and 2. Who wears a thong, gets naked when she transforms and sleeps around with people for information.
@@calebgoodman3028 it was an 'unofficial' sentai for good reasons (it's even in the title). Though they managed to make a short appearance in the latest kamen rider+super sentai crossover movie. That said, female villain in a risque outfit is nothing new in sentai history. Malshina got to push that boundary further than every other sentai's female villains since the series she was in wasn't even meant for kids--it was for older sentai fans that might enjoy all the trivias and playful jabs at sentai tropes. Yet she's still pretty tame compare to something like Garo, where there will be at least one scene with full frontal nudity each season (not even the anime is exempt from this)
I know this video is a year old but kids do like trains. Kids very much like trains. Admittedly the states doesn't tend to screw with trains much but kids 100% like trains. Railway sets are things that kids buy all the time. But tbh with you, Neo-Saban seemed to make each theme less like their respective theme. Samurai was far less like a samurai power rangers season than Shinkenger and Ninja Steel was far less Ninja-like than Ninninger originally intended.
To be honest, this is the one super sentai series I don’t want to get an adaptation. The design of the suits and the mechs just doesn’t work for me. My biggest complaint is that all six members have a railroad that goes across their visors, making it hard to tell that they’re uniquely shaped like with other Sentai series.
This show would make sense to take place on the rpm dimension as a limited series to show how the world developed after venjix defeat. The rangers wouldn’t be fighting monster if the week but, a show that was about rebuilding society and exploring the unknowns of the world and space.
If you've watched the sentai, it would be pretty easy to see why this show was skipped. Every time their bazooka was used, it did something astronomically weird.
That was the fun part and how the blasters would chase them down lol I realise with cars an train sentais they're more comedic but power rsngers are too serious but I'd rather if they just dubbed sentai tbh or just let us pay 5 or 10$ a month to watch an support super sentai without watching it illegally an waiting for it to be on DVD shout factory sint doing a good job
You can easily get around the lack of trains in New Zealand. Just build a train station set on a soundstage and use the Sentai footage for the exterior and aerial shots of the Japanese train stations, or however they did it. I didn't see ToQger
I hope that they will make a movie or series of the Skipped ranger(super sentai) teams with different storyline from the super sentai Or they can just use the suits/costumes of the Skipped Super Sentai teams then create new story
Iirc they said that PR toy trains never sell well, so they decided just skipped it While for doubtsu sentai zyuohger, they simply have one of, if not the worst mech/zord in modern-day sentai history, which is basically just cube stacking, not to mention their morpher, a fckin rubick cube
@@hiEste anyway... I'm making an fan adaptation of Kyuranger called: Power Rangers Cosmic Cyclone. I'm going to include The ToQgers has a Special/Temporaly team, The Rail Force Rangers (Don't worry Isnt an hybrid Season/Megaforce 2.0)
have you seen the fan series titled Power Rangers Unworthy here on CZcams by Unworthy Productions?? If you have what are thoughts, Will you do a video on it??
I was very disappointed and sad that we still never got a ToQger adaption in Power Rangers and I don’t think we’ll ever get one. Also, ToQger is the Super Sentai series I completed watching with all the episodes back in 2017 when I got into Super Sentai. I also remember the main mecha ToQ-Oh with something very weird and wrong attached to it. 😂
Unless it was a fever dream…. Didn’t toqger megazord have an attack where the red train folded down and….. extend from the crotch? Definitely a scene that wouldn’t make the cut here XD
in honesty i don’t think ToQger wouldn’t be possible to adapt but not unadaptable could adapt the toy line though ever since Super Megaforce they turned into past rangers of sentai like Dairanger/Squadron to others as well such as Maskman to some others if those past seasons are truly unadaptable could just adapt the toys of Fiveman and others were just given Power Ranger title names like Lightning Battalion and so on so i think giving ToQger a Power Ranger title can get the toys only instead of it being a ranger series
Thomas is not the train engine, its Thomas the Tank Engine, I grew up with that show before Power Rangers came along! As for this team that got rejected, the suits look terrible, I'm not surprised that it got rejected, but maybe Hasbro with their future plans might decide to revisit the villians and bring them across with changes
I can't see ToQger being adapted ever. Frankly, I see Zyuohger having a better shot because their Mecha and weapons are cube based. What's popular in the US and is cube based? Minecraft. Kids will connect the two very easily and the toys will fly off the shelves.
It’s odd how trains aren’t thought of as “popular” in the west but I mean I get it. For example, the train bots from 2001 transformers robots in disguise didn’t sell well and so Takara Tomy said they would not be making them anymore
apologies to the loyal thomas the TANK engine fans for naming the series wrong. i will be punished.
jk it’s not that serious
"Thomas, is a tank engine, who lives at a big station on the Island of Sodor..."
Honestly I think toqger could be popular in America but only to the older audiences and not the younger audiences even if only toys of the megazords and morphers were released
I hope in the 30th season, it will have an episodes of All red, All blue, All Yellow, All pink, all black, all green, all white, all gold, all silvers.
Then Movies for the Skipped Sentai Series
I hope they will just use the Costumes/suits of the Skipped rangers Teams but different story line
I hope that they will make a movie or series of the Skipped ranger(super sentai) teams with different storyline from the super sentai
Or they can just use the suits/costumes of the Skipped Super Sentai teams then create new story
I've always felt there was two big flaws in the "kids don't like trains" reasoning behind them skipping TocQger: 1) kids absolutely do love trains, and not just the preschool crowd. Trains pop up in kids show and other forms of entertainment alot because they're fun to use as a literary device; there's a well established romantic notion of riding the rails on some exotic adventure. If you don't believe me, look up how many Hogwarts Express train sets have been sold over the years. But more importantly, 2) the idea that kids don't like trains is purely an American cultural mindset. Even if the colorful imaginative adventures of a TocQger adaption wasn't enough to sell any zord sets stateside, pretty much every other country (Western and Eastern) that Power Rangers gets distributed to has some sort of rail line system as an integral part of their public transportation infrastructure. You can't tell me any train zords wouldn't sell like hotcakes in the international market, especially given how easy they would be to collect and play with.
Really I think it was just easier to blame it on the season being train-themed than it for them to outright say the whole season felt too "childish" for the boys 6-10 market they were aiming for, like they aren't an aisle over from the Barbie dolls and Playmobil toys in the average supermarket.
This
The kids don't like trains reason is actually the first time i have heard of said reason but it could be based on the more commonly talked about reason for why they decided to skip toqger which was actually that the show had really disappointing toy sales in japan
and since power rangers like a lot of other kids shows exists to sell toys they do look at the sales data from the sentai shows more when they are optioning the shows
Since they had the disappointing toy sales data and kids possibly not going to like show due to the train theme and probably other reasons as well they like the video mentioned went with the safer option to adapt instead.
@@Teh_Spirit well, now that's a different matter all together. If you can't sell a show about trains to kids in Japan you're doing something wrong! Always sad when it's the more inventive seasons that wind up doing poorly in toy sales, because the whole color/power swapping thing and being able to bring the things they imagine to life are pretty interesting concepts, at least on paper. Kind of ironic given that they went with the simplified train motifs to keep things *streamlined* enough to bring all these big ideas they had for the show to life.
The goal is to reach as many people as possible. I’m from LA and I would have never watched this series outside of an episode summary CZcams channel
I live in tasmania and we pre much only have the 1 train line that goes from south to North and it hasn't been used for passengers for many years now, it is barely used now only the occasional freight train u see going through like once a year.
Doesnt mean kids here don't like trains though because they do.
Basically, if I were to adapt "ToQger" as a "Power Rangers" series, I'd make it time travel themed much like "Kamen Rider Den-O". The Rangers would use their Rainbow Line Train to chase the Shadow Line across time and space ala "Doctor Who".
I'd make the main rangers foster siblings. Mainly so "Power Rangers" could finally try out the sibling team dynamic "Super Sentai" has done several times before (Fiveman, GoGoV & Magiranger) whilst also being able to continue the show's tradition of having a racially diverse cast.
Also, I can't find it at the moment, but I remember at a Power Morphincon panel Blue Ninja Steel Ranger Peter Sudarso commented on how he'd personally adapt the Sentai "Zyuohger".
If I remember correctly, he said he'd have it be similar to the premise of the 2019 film "Jumanji: The Next Level", in that it tells the stories of kids who get sucked into a video game and have to fight enemies in the digital world in order to get home whilst having to live in teenage/young adult avatar bodies, but with the minds and emotionally maturity of preteens. He said that this would be so that the adult actors would have a logical in-story reason to act like younger kids.
Underated
I decided to use that sibling team dynamic for ToQger, Akibaranger, Donbrothers, and there might be one more I’m forgetting
I so would like to see that
The Zuohger adaptation being game theme would work incredibly well, since the season is already softly themed around video games.
For toqger I would’ve used dimensions like the dimensional train from super samurai
we can also say we technically had a train power ranger series cause of lightspeed when they got their secondary zords which was a train megazord, also we can look at another series that had multiple zords power rangers operation overdrive that kinda was a train wreck,
Well that was cooler then the toqger mecha
Light speed rescue/gogo V, Magiranger/mystic force, and GoOnger/RPM all had train zords.
@@shaoronmd but they were cooler looking
That's true but it wasn't like the powers, suits and weapons were all train themed like in ToQuger
@@JollyOrangeEntertainment but I'm saying that the kids wouldn't be interested in such bad designs
Toqger might look childish if somebody hasn't watched the show but it does get dark later on. Really one of the most splendid seasons out there with great antagonists and protagonists.
Toqger is a series which is childish from outside but have a dark tone from the inside the best thing I like about this season is the friendship /character boldness to each other and dynamic emotions I literally cried while last three episodes of it
You guys know where I can watch/stream it?
@@willdrob80 toku-fun
i remember watching it when i was like 5. i dont remember much other than the characters
I mea the kamen rider series that aired alongside it is even more dark
It's a shame that since Samurai they've had two seasons because a lot of Sentai seasons have been skipped.
Except that even Saban skipped this, none of the people in charge of PR want to adapt it. Plus, they've been using the villain suits since at least Ninja Steel, as the host of that alien gameshow is a modified suit of the main villain of TOQGer, and Void Queen uses a villain suit from TOQGer as well.
I really don't like that they have ti make two seasons instead of making only one with 40 or more episodes making possible to get new seasons every year.
@@checob224 Yeah Nickelodeon messed things up for sure.
Most Rightfully skipped…
Hasbro been in charge since beast morphers
As the father of a toddler...kids LOVE trains! Though, especially with the other cultural elements, I could see this being a very difficult one to adapt for the slightly older kids.
Why not incorporate a ghost train theme into it, where the ghost locomotives get purified and made into zords?
Edit: I had an idea like that for my own independent Tokusatsu series, but then I figured that could also work for a PR adaptation of ToQger, depending on how it’s executed.
@@AndrewHager02 Given the aesthetic of the villains I guess the ghost train idea could work. My idea would be that the train megazord our rangers use is a train that is used to travel between dimensions. And that the Rainbow Express Rangers (Toqgers) are charged with protecting the dimensional barriers from being destroyed by evil forces. Where the main villain King Necros (Emperor Z) plans to destroy the barriers and cover all the worlds in darkness. If it were up to me I'd have a Toqger adaptation be a mini-series.
It's really the culture. It's too specifically "Japanese" trains and all their rules and memes that don't really translate to US audiences well. Like everyone panicing to stay behind the lines because Japan takes train rules very seriously while US does not. I've seen more than one older kid actively flaunt the train lines just because they get a kick out of doing something they aren't supposed to do.
I would have liked to see an actual Train team of Power Rangers.
Me too.
Same
Yeah.
Same
It's my favorite Sentai, and I know all the reasons it wouldn't sell, but I'd love to see it localized.
3:28 it already happened in Jetman. Granted it was more bird themed than planes but there was a good amount of aerial combat in the series if I’m remembering it correctly.
Yup but it was too adultish to adapt and dinosaurs was a big thing so zyuranger was you know but if it wasnt for dinosaurs being a big thing maybe we could've gotten jetman
@@prettycureforever7102 The main problem with Jetman was there was too many scenes in the mecha cockpits where the actors were out of costume, which they obviously couldn't use in PR. And since they couldn't shoot their own footage in season 1 much that left them unable to use it.
I pressed “3:28” so much it turned into a black box
The only way Tokkyuuger can be believably adapted is to go the Beetleborgs route and have a whole team of children as the Rangers. And have Orange be a young teenager around 13 or 14. But just for that season alone and that's it.
Maybe ToQger could be adapted but as a manga influenced graphic novel.
Funnily enough... They're actually "kids" in the sentai series.
And I don't know if you have watched ToQger or not, but if they decide to adapt it to PR, they definitely need to keep the plot twist on who the Orange Ranger is.
I feel like Toqger could have a chance of being next just because of Void Queen. Maybe she’ll be a villain to continue into the next series and the series could end up being Toqger
I heard that hasbro was apparently adapting zyuohger after dino fury
@Octoaslash
I really hope Hasbro do make this season after Dino Fury
I want Toqger's adaptation as a spiritual sequel to Lightspeed Rescue by bringing back Carter Grayson as a mentor to the Toqger's that would have been cool by bringing back the serious aspects despite Power Rangers is far from too childish since Disney entered the chat.
I want the tone for the Toqger's be like RPM & Lightspeed Rescue.
Power Rangers Train Machines:
- Barry Griffin as Red Train Machines Ranger.
- Kurt Madden as Blue Train Machines Ranger.
- Olivia Goodman as Yellow Train Machines Ranger.
- Daniel Howell as Green Train Machines Ranger.
- Gwen Watson as Pink Train Machines Ranger.
- Rick Andrews as Orange Train Machines Ranger.
This is the team of power rangers I want to see adapted so bad .
Nah😂
ToQger was surprisingly good bc of the villains and 6th ranger
No offense man but I think the only person that would be ever excited about this Ranger team would be Sheldon Cooper
Wondering how LupPatranger would be adapted...
@@firepuppies4086 No. Hasbro Won't.
It was more than just trains. The series also put a heavy emphasis on the power of Imagination and the batter between the light and the dark with the Rainbow Line and the Darkness Line.
Meh
*Shadow Line, but otherwise correct.
@@HenshinFanatic thank you for that, it’s been a while since I’ve seen it and with the fan subs getting cease orders it’s hard to find anything now.
How I think they could go around these factors when it comes to adaptions:
-Make the railway intergalactic, so it is a series of 'space trains'.
-Have it set in the future, which will explain away way the trains look all shiny and colourful or some sh*t like that.
-Have the rangers be little kids that transform in a manner like Shazam, which will explain away why they are 'childish' (which is a stupid reason why it isn't adapted as PR is for kids anyway)
-Or just make THIS particular series a comedic Power Rangers series that doesn't take itself seriously except for the dark parts, and a team that banters with each other, and clearly not the type of rangers you'd expect but their heart is in the right place and end up saving the day in the end.
i am A 35 year old who still in till kids stuff
there was intergalactic connection in one of the movies
I would totally see that had it not been Nickelodeon's "brilliant and smartest" decision of splitting a single PR season INTO TWO PARTS FOR NO GOSH DARN REASON!!!!!
BECAUSE OF THEIR STUPIDIEST AND DUMBEST DECISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT MADE ME WANT TO SUED THEM SO BAD!!!
It also made me wish that Disney should've gives the right back to Saban back when RPM were airing at the times and it aired on a different channel like Cartoon Network instead, which would've been one of the only live-action shows on the channel, folks.
I really enjoyed ToQger as a series. The story was very well done, and the ending was bittersweet. I am glad it was never adapted to the USA, as I don't think they'd be able to do it justice.
Yeah. The end was heartbreaking, to say the least.
as A person who watched zyurangers it similar to mighty morphin power ranger season one minus un morphed or hension footage
@@sound_boytaro2133 what was the ending
@@52Brickz-278 They defeated the shadow line's leader Z, and sent back to their home town, with the resshas dissapearing.
I wouldn't say the ending is bittersweet, it was still very happy. Spoiler for a show from 8 years ago, the scene where the five finally reunited with their families are still pretty tearjerking.
I would've had the series take place on another planet, similar to Earth, which life would've revolved around trains. The planet's culture would be similar to Earth's western/cowboy culture but more modernized. The villains would be the original rulers of the planet, imprisoned by an unknown force centuries ago, who are accidentally freed and begin shutting down the main stations of transport all over the planet, which in turn would cripple and decimate life, as they try to reclaim total power. Five strangers would be chosen from the five main districts to work together as Power Rangers, a force which has never been seen on this planet.
Something that seems to be forgotten is that while power rangers shows are made in the US and new zealand, they are spread across the world - the uk and korea have notable train systems and they do recieve the adaptations (though more here and there for korea), so while it may be less popular in the us, there could've been potential for it to explode abroad.
I always wanted a train-themed Power Rangers team as a kid. So seeing the only train-themed sentai not get adapted makes me sad. I get it, but it still sucks. Granted given Hasbro has been wasting the potential of a show like Dino Fury with dinosaurs and knights I don't think they can have the excuse of not doing a Toqger because it won't sell. Because they haven't been doing a good job in distributing Dino Fury toys.
If we went back to one team per year we likely could have gotten Toqger, but I doubt it. At the very least I hope they go the route of the Alien rangers. Where they don't really get a full show but are still incorporated into the Power Rangers universe somehow. Same goes for the other Sentais that have currently been skipped.
The train thing was not the only problem with adapting ToQger. How the Zords and Megazords are portrayed was also a problem. Having the Rangers acting childish all the time wouldn't work either.
@@johnnymason3265 As if we don't already have childish messages and childish slap-stick comedy already in Power Rangers. Especially in the more recent shows.
They could be the rangers who operate the trainsdimensional subway which allowed RPM Red to visit the Samurai team.
@@anthustenebris9202 That's what I was thinking when I was coming up with my own Toqger adaptation. And using that as inspiration as well as how the Toqgers already travel from town to town. They're rangers that operate a rail system that allows travel between the dimensional. And act as guardians to protect the barriers so that evil forces don't destroy them and infiltrate other worlds. Where the villains, the Shadow Line seeks to destroy the barriers and cover all worlds in darkness.
Yes I like that last part like how the rangers lost there powers in season 3 an needed help from the alien rangers an they never had a full series but a mini series would work for me
ToQger was always missing from the toy shelves, at least they had its' Japanese roots. Time for the team to be part of the team!!!
I agree about ToQger will remain as Sentai-Exclusive Ranger team now and forever, due to the trains are most popular in Japan. And Simon said the same thing also, because of the toys sales looks awful.
toy trains do sell mostly at Christmas time as that is the only time we see them in most stores. the real reason marketers do not think they would sell is because they been told for years that they do not sell. when was the last time you saw a commercial for toy trains? Polar Express movie? that was 18 years ago. before then? they do not sell for so few toy trains are made. so few toy trains are made for they do not sell. they do not sell for so few are made. and so on with this endless reasoning loop. they said they same thing about comic book super hero movies before the first X-men film. now you have the massive MCU.
So the only reason I knew about this super Sentai was because in 2016 I had a coworker tell me he was in japan and had a cameo scene in “the train rangers series” that never came to be 😂 I couldn’t really fact check him.
We literally have a company called Amtrek that goes across America.....and comparing subways in three cities to commuter trains is.....well its not a fair comparison.
bruh ik this obviously but u gotta admit the people using ANY type of commuter rail in the country is inferior in comparison
@@hiEste
Not really.
It’s just transplants that moved into urban metros that are complaining about homeless transients and vagrants.
The trains of American public transit are actually improving, especially here in my home, Westlake/Pico Union/Koreatown of Los Angeles.
It's sad that we will never see Toqger as rangers. I would've loved to see train rangers. I know we got Lightspeed Rescue, but that was more a theme of emergency workers. Only their secondary zords had a train theme. Maybe the Boom Comics could do something with Toqger. I think it would be cool to see that team in the USA in some fashion. I would've called the adaptation "Power Rangers: Express Trains". I think it wass a bad idea to skip it, but I can't do anything about it.
I liked this video. E-squad.
I feel like a good name for a Power Rangers adaptation for ToQger would be "Power Rangers: Imagination Express"
@@poweredrailstudio in the world of rpm?
@@luisclaudio3576 would it be set in the RPM universe? No
"It's sad that we will never see Toqger as rangers"
We don't know that for sure.
Asking for the people that make the comics for BOOM! to do anything with Sentai only teams is idiotic, all that means is that the writers will use the Sentai only teams as fodder in order to make the MMPR team look better for beating whatever villain beat the Sentai teams.
Toqger can be adopted into Power Rangers when the timing is right. If Hasbro decides to adopt that Sentai that means they will have to change some things and take some things out.
"kids don't like trains"
My cousins since they were small: "Guess I'm not a Kid"

Sad to see this series couldn't get on track
*Badum Tss*
"Kids don't like trains because subways are disguise."
*Ahem* Subway Surfers.
Saban Hasbro: We didn't accept trains but kids in ranger!
Kid Power Rangers Turbo Blue Ranger: Am I joking to your puns?
ToKyuuger is popular here in Japan. Because of Ressha or Shinkansen!
The train team of power rangers needs to happened.
If this had been the 25th anniversary season, it would’ve been better than ninja steel ever was, and I possibly could’ve been on it since I was basically 12 at the time. Yeah, Big mistake! Sure, did you steal was a fun ride and everything, but I really think that “Power Rangers metro force“ would’ve been better.
I agree with You, Ninja Steel didn't Even are Ninja themed at all.
I've heard one of the reasons it wasn't adapted was because it'd wouldn't make sense story wise because of how trains are so uncommon in the US, but the solution is so simple. Have it be set in the RPM universe or on Mirinoi. Make the backstory that they developed railroads to easily transport goods to different colonies. Have the villains be an alien army or an ancient evil and that they've taken over most of the colonies and so these train rangers have to put a stop to them.
I think a ToQger adaptation can be made as sort of a sequel to Lightspeed Rescue. Carter Grayson - Lightspeed Red - is the mentor for a new group of Rangers, the Rail Rescue Force. There would be returns of some old Lightspeed villains and some villains from ToQger. Also, Carter could return as the 6th Ranger, badassery and all...
The idea that they couldn't do it because the theme wouldn't fit is baffling because that's kinda the point of Power Rangers, in my mind. It's a loose localized adaptation of Super Sentai. Skipping series like that is basically like skipping entire books of Harry Potter. Just, we're not going to do Goblet of Fire, just skip it, no need. And if the theming of that particular series makes it difficult to adapt locally, well that is when you get the good writers in.
They've done it before! Look at RPM! A dark gritty series about the post-apocalypse. You couldn't get darker without the planet actually exploding. The bad guys have already won. Billions are dead. There's only one city left. Now, the closest you can get to victory is survival. That's fucking dark! That's the darkest I've ever seen any media that is ostensibly for kids go. Only thing that comes close is Animorphs and that's basically about children committing war crimes.
And the sentai series RPM was based on? Well it was one of the most juvenile kid-friendly series in the entire franchise, and it was themed around mecha which were cartoonish fusions of cars and animals. But they already planned to make it something dark and gritty. And rather than say, 'that couldn't work,' they asked, 'how can we make it work?' And they did a brilliant job at it.
Now, let's look at Toqger, and consider a parallel universe where *that* was the season they tried to make dark and gritty. It... just... Snowpeircer. Like, the entire series is basically Snowpeircer. I'm not saying it would be easy, but it could work. If you try, you can make anything work. They just gave up too easily.
Since I was a kid, I always liked trains and I think a lot of people too.
"Kids don't like trains"
Me, as someone who noticed my little brother be absolutely obsessed with trains for over 15 years as he was growing up...... "Are you sure about that?"
yup
yeah it's weird that Saban didn't adapt ToQGer, they could at least adapt it into 1 season, just like Megaforce (which is just Goseiger). also since Power Ranger likes to make new stuff (like armor), they could make new armor based from previous Power Rangers, because the toys already exist (7:30)
After looking into this season it seemed more hype than it had any business being, and I would've loved it.
Given Hasbro's reference to "high gear", this, Kiramager, or Zenkaiger are all valid candidates.
I would love a a kiramager adaptation
Both would be great. I watched both Sentai series. It'll be tricky to do Zenkaiger completely cause of the same issues that Super MegaForce had - instead of 35 super sentai seasons, you have 45. Least the rangers in zenkaiger are iconic in Power Rangers, plus the powered up modes.
Only issues I see with Kiramager would be all the gemstone and jewel designs, but it does have all the cool vehicles that kids will go after, even a pair of trains.
@@Ragetiger1 relying on original photage will make Zenkaiger easier to adapt. Super Mega Force was simply lazy writing on the writers and being too reliant on stock photage. given all the costumes made for the big start of the legendary battle they could have shot more original photage to replace the none American teams with trick editing like used in the second season as well as cut out the whole goseiger suits after the getting the new morphers. a toqger adaptation would be a great way to start the multi show idea that hasbro had talked about when it first bought the franchise for the younger demographic as they could play up the whole child rangers idea.
I love trains! So, I think a Power Rangers adaption of Toqger will be a great thing to see.
To be honest, I think Toqger would be difficult to adapt into Power Rangers because the popularity of trains is usually found in Japan and Europe.
I’m still really disappointed that we haven’t gotten this season and honestly )while I can see the reasons this season couldn’t be adapted ) I believe the people running power rangers just have to look past any potential flaws these unadapted Sentai may have and strive for their potential already.
We keep hearing “this Sentai can’t be adapted because…..*blank* reason”. “tokkyuger can’t be adapted” “LuPat can’t be adapted” “kyuranger can’t be adapted” at a certain point what CAN be adapted?? The real reasons (in my opinion) these seasons “can’t” be adapted is because, the people running the show have the luxury of picking and choosing what is the easiest season to adapt now that we are so far behind the Sentai. Instead of just taking what they’re given and doing their best to make it work; they can now skip and make excuses as to why they “can’t” adapt whatever season.
Okay, this is all making an insane amount of sense to me!
And tbf they could also make these seasons even better like why can't we have an anti hero vs hero lupin vs pat why can't we have another space series its been ten years since in space kyuranger could be a sequal most of these shows sentai made can be sequals but it's all about money not taken any chances which sucks they might as well quite no one will keep watching dinosaurs ninja and repeat
@@prettycureforever7102 definitely true and that’s a great point that you have; not only could we make the seasons better but, we should be able to cause we know what stuff did and didn’t work with the Sentai seasons in Japan. Example 1: don’t make the toqgers children 2: give equal focus between both lupat teams not just lupin rangers 3. Find a better method to develop the multiple kyurangers at a gradual pace. Since we’ve seen the feedback the Sentai got; we can work around and fix things not say “skip”
idk why but i always wished they went the rpm approach and gave us a darker show where the world is trying to repair the damange done by venjix and they could have made the goofy outfits or trains made by doctor k which would fit her personality (making zords with anime eyes) and could let us see older versions of characters like ziggy and doctor k or possible students/children.
it's really sad that they abandoned ToQger,I am a huge sentai fan and i love ToQger,the story is really good.
spoiler ahead
The "childish behavior" you talked about is because they are kid!They don't look like it but they are!Also those different themed trains are not a very important plot point but rather a small upgrade to the robot.
Kids love trains. They fucking go nuts for trains.
I've always pictured this as a potential Lightspeed Rescue sequel. Perhaps the rangers as kids could play an important role and I do like how they can change into each other's colors.
2:54
As a kid that grew up in Ohio with trains right outside my window… I would be obsessed with seeing the colors of the trains, and all the different spray paint art.
One time this old 1920’s lookin’ train came by… yeah trains are awesome.
Maybe you wouldn’t think it, but Ohio is a big logistics hub, and a lot of states in the midwest have train tracks quite often. I’d think a season about trains would be really successful.
Yeah there are some things that would probably be better not to be in a power rangers adaptation but the series as a whole is cool
You'd think Hasbro would jump at this series, considering all the repaints they can make
Clearly Saban missed the last boarding call on this one 😂 probably for the best this could've got of track 😂😂😂
Can you PLEASE do a review of Jetman? It was the last Super Sentai to not be adapted into Power Rangers for a very long time and is EASILY the most adult entry in the franchise as well as a perfect example of how lax Japanese broadcasting laws were regarding children’s shows!
I think the Kids Dont Like Trains is a very USA centric point of view. And nowadays the USA isnt the biggest territory for Power Rangers.
I WANT TOQGER TO BE ADAPTED SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kids don’t like train
Thomas and friends: cough cough
I personally really liked trains as a kid, and I feel like it could as Power Rangers if done correctly!! I would personally tie these powers in with the LightSpeed Rescue powers by, making them be developed by the same government organization that developed those powers. I hope that we at least get ToQuger in the form of a comic book storyline, and make them some how connected to taking down Void Queen if she's still around after Dino Fury.
ToQger was not the only rejected SS team. According to the producers, Kyuranger has too many rangers and LupinVSPat was rejected because real thieves are evil and some real cops too.
No official word about Zyuohger, Kiramager, Zenkaiger or Donbrothers.
Officially Hasbro also announced that they will drop Super Sentai for good and develop their own, totally original PR season.
They have never once said that they are officially dropping Sentai adaptations yet. That's still a rumor. The only thing we know is that the new Netflix show that isn't connected to the original continuity will be wholely original. But so far nothing on the current kids show.
I LOVE TRAINS. MY GENERATION JUST SUCKS. And as a New Yorker, trains are so cool
They easily could have filmed this series in the U.K. with U.K. based actors and it would have been a solid hit, definitely be some slight culture shock for Americans but not nearly as much as the Showrunners were expecting.
I loved trains! as a kid and 6 Orange Ranger.
pre-schoolers like trains, late elementary kids don't. the train in Lightspeed Rescue was a low selling Zord back in the day. if you want to make a PR geared to little kids, go ahead but you'd alienate the older kids
I wonder if their gonna do that as part of the rebooted universe that will go on Netflix. If you could be any of the rangers colors introduced in the sentai universe that was not brought over, which one would it be?
Isn't that just orange? We've gotten purple/violet, white, and every other rarely used colour except for orange. The only way we'll ever get orange is in a Kyuranger adaptation, since SasoriOrange is part of the core 9.
As a kid in Michigan at the time I can say I was a absolute sucker for trains
All I have to say is: dang it, Hasbro! Potentially my favorite Power Rangers season could have changed from Dino charge to whatever Toqger could have been in America, but now I guess we won’t get that.
Power Rangers: * doesn't adapt ToQger *
Me: fine... I'll do it myself
Thomas the Tank Engine, Chuggington, Dinosaur Train... kids love trains. I do think it has potential to make for a good Power Rangers series. It all comes down to lazy marketing on Saban and later Hasbro's behalf and anti-train propaganda in North America. Saban foolishly claimed that Pirate toys don't sell well to justify the poor Gokaiger adaptation. The true answer is the creative team behind Power Rangers are inept. Maybe that has changed recently but only time will tell.
Trains can be fun, but I'd blame just a general lack of train representation in both real life and in merchandising (Thomas seems to mostly be the only available stuff unless you go to niche train related shops)
ToQger is easily in my top 5 Super Sentai series. It sucks that it wasn't adapted but I'm glad also. I don't think they could do the story justice and butcher it like they did with Super Megaforce. I'm ok if it doesn't get adapted.
Apparently Power Rangers is doing some thing where they're adapting Ten Gokaiger footage. I'm already dying inside just thinking about it.
They rejected this team because of all the jokes about guys "running trains" on the pink and yellow rangers🤣
RW: i love trains and that ,btw RESSHA SENTAI TOQGER was rly my 1st super Sentai show that i had the chance watching from beginning to end btw it wasnt easy trying to find the crossover/movie specials either and i still think that yt still has their live stage show episode online,not unless they have taken it off and tbh i would love to see this show to be adapted into a power rangers series like if the title was POWER RANGERS RAIL FORCE or POWER RANGERS TRAIN SQUAD or either way you would change the words around,and if i was a TOQGER from that series i would be TOQ 9 Black using some sort of mattock and pickaxe like weapons and my train would be like the one from The Hogwarts express from Harry Potter with a few changes with design to look similar to it even having a robot girl related to Wagon from the show and she would be named Snow ❄ as ToQ 10 White using some kind of weapons like a shovel and a spade ,and if this show was adapted into a power rangers series it would go through alot of changes on so many levels but it will have some refs from its Sentai counterparts and refs from like trains from past ranger shows.(btw RESSHA SENTAI TOQGER was one of my favorite sentai series,even with GOKAIGER and KYURANGER)
I think Magiranger (I haven't seen it yet) has a steam-train mecha, and that season was inspired by the popularity of Harry Potter if I understand correctly.
@@anthustenebris9202 rw:you could be right.
I like trains. I did as a kid, always have. Maybe not now. But, I did. And even with that power rangers season. I figured just the megazord.
Power Rangers: Rail Force was a missed opportunity...I loved watching ToQger I would be Blue 3! Stay behind the line!
There are train fans in the US but most are more into the old-style Wild West choo choo train with the smoke stack and cowcatcher.
As for plane rangers, there was a pre-MMPR Sentai called Jetman but that was more based on birds than planes.
I think a one off train megazord as an extra megazord for the five core rangers or as the megazord of the sixth ranger like in the case of lightspeed rescue and mystic force respectfully is ok but to make an entire season completely based off trains just wouldn't work in America. Now a Super Sentai show that I think would make a terrific Power Rangers show would be PatRanger VS LupinRanger. Cops vs robbers what kid wouldn't mind seeing that. Two of my favorite Power Ranger shows where based off the law enforcement and lawbreakers concepts. Time Force and S.P.D. and both of those were awesome
ToQger deserves a Power Rangers adaptation series but it should be different in terms of combining new villains with the ToQger villians. Dairanger and Kyuranger should also be adapted as Power Rangers seasons each with new villains and monsters with Dairangers controlling the Thunderzords and Kyurangers with some new villains and some monsters from the Kyuranger series with Kyurangers controlling the Cosmic Fury Zords.
So, fun fact: this is the first Super Sentai season I sat down and watched beginning to end; I binged it in less than a week back in 2020 (which was really easy to do, because…you know.)
I had tried to initially get into Super Sentai with Zyuranger, and I’ve since watched it and liked it, but ToQger was such a heartwarming story with awesome heroes and villains (despite there being a s3cks robot named Wagon that’s all leather and has a handle on top of her head; like, JESUS, calm down, Toei).
Chances are we aren’t gonna see this season get adapted, so I recommend Power Rangers fans (even those who don’t like Sentai all that much) give it a watch and at least see what COULD have been.
I mean... a robot like that has nothing on Malshina from Akibaranger season 1 and 2. Who wears a thong, gets naked when she transforms and sleeps around with people for information.
and i watched the sentai that became mighty morphin power ranger season one like twenty years after
@@calebgoodman3028 fun fact: her actress also does pron
@@calebgoodman3028 it was an 'unofficial' sentai for good reasons (it's even in the title). Though they managed to make a short appearance in the latest kamen rider+super sentai crossover movie.
That said, female villain in a risque outfit is nothing new in sentai history. Malshina got to push that boundary further than every other sentai's female villains since the series she was in wasn't even meant for kids--it was for older sentai fans that might enjoy all the trivias and playful jabs at sentai tropes. Yet she's still pretty tame compare to something like Garo, where there will be at least one scene with full frontal nudity each season (not even the anime is exempt from this)
@@spearsage True.
I know this video is a year old but kids do like trains. Kids very much like trains. Admittedly the states doesn't tend to screw with trains much but kids 100% like trains. Railway sets are things that kids buy all the time. But tbh with you, Neo-Saban seemed to make each theme less like their respective theme. Samurai was far less like a samurai power rangers season than Shinkenger and Ninja Steel was far less Ninja-like than Ninninger originally intended.
To be honest, this is the one super sentai series I don’t want to get an adaptation. The design of the suits and the mechs just doesn’t work for me. My biggest complaint is that all six members have a railroad that goes across their visors, making it hard to tell that they’re uniquely shaped like with other Sentai series.
This show would make sense to take place on the rpm dimension as a limited series to show how the world developed after venjix defeat. The rangers wouldn’t be fighting monster if the week but, a show that was about rebuilding society and exploring the unknowns of the world and space.
I feel like toqyger would've been a great sequal instead of go busters tbh
If you've watched the sentai, it would be pretty easy to see why this show was skipped. Every time their bazooka was used, it did something astronomically weird.
That was the fun part and how the blasters would chase them down lol I realise with cars an train sentais they're more comedic but power rsngers are too serious but I'd rather if they just dubbed sentai tbh or just let us pay 5 or 10$ a month to watch an support super sentai without watching it illegally an waiting for it to be on DVD shout factory sint doing a good job
You can easily get around the lack of trains in New Zealand. Just build a train station set on a soundstage and use the Sentai footage for the exterior and aerial shots of the Japanese train stations, or however they did it. I didn't see ToQger
I hope that they will make a movie or series of the Skipped ranger(super sentai) teams with different storyline from the super sentai
Or they can just use the suits/costumes of the Skipped Super Sentai teams then create new story
Iirc they said that PR toy trains never sell well, so they decided just skipped it
While for doubtsu sentai zyuohger, they simply have one of, if not the worst mech/zord in modern-day sentai history, which is basically just cube stacking, not to mention their morpher, a fckin rubick cube
"Trains arent popular in USA"
¿So Then why You Adapted?:
-Supertrain Megazord (Lightspeed Rescue)
-Solar Streak Megazord (Mystic Force)
-PaleoMax Megazord (RPM)
those aren’t apart of whole series about trains …
@@hiEste anyway... I'm making an fan adaptation of Kyuranger called: Power Rangers Cosmic Cyclone. I'm going to include The ToQgers has a Special/Temporaly team, The Rail Force Rangers (Don't worry Isnt an hybrid Season/Megaforce 2.0)
There was a small train in season 2 of the power rangers with the phantom knight giving the second set there rescue zords
have you seen the fan series titled Power Rangers Unworthy here on CZcams by Unworthy Productions??
If you have what are thoughts, Will you do a video on it??
I was very disappointed and sad that we still never got a ToQger adaption in Power Rangers and I don’t think we’ll ever get one. Also, ToQger is the Super Sentai series I completed watching with all the episodes back in 2017 when I got into Super Sentai. I also remember the main mecha ToQ-Oh with something very weird and wrong attached to it. 😂
A TRAIN TEAM OF RANGERS WOULD BE COOL!
Unless it was a fever dream…. Didn’t toqger megazord have an attack where the red train folded down and….. extend from the crotch? Definitely a scene that wouldn’t make the cut here XD
Yeah that happened.
I wish they did it. It will be so funny and cool and plus they will have a crossover with Dino charge and ninja steel.
And plus they can switch trains and switch colors
I love this team toqger
"Kids dont like trains"
Unless its in japan, then some of the most popular mecha anime among children are train based.
in honesty i don’t think ToQger wouldn’t be possible to adapt but not unadaptable could adapt the toy line though ever since Super Megaforce they turned into past rangers of sentai like Dairanger/Squadron to others as well such as Maskman to some others if those past seasons are truly unadaptable could just adapt the toys of Fiveman and others were just given Power Ranger title names like Lightning Battalion and so on so i think giving ToQger a Power Ranger title can get the toys only instead of it being a ranger series
As kid I loved trains so much but I live in the U.K so it make sense when u talk about the usa trains
Siempre he pensado que esos trajes con temática de trenes son horribles, especialmente los cascos son espantosos 😂😂 saludos! 💪🏻😎
Me parece muy interesante el concepto para una serie de PR, y los trajes al principio me parecieron raros pero les agarre el gusto xd
I think ToQger could work as a cool Power Ranger show for preschoolers
Thomas is not the train engine, its Thomas the Tank Engine, I grew up with that show before Power Rangers came along!
As for this team that got rejected, the suits look terrible, I'm not surprised that it got rejected, but maybe Hasbro with their future plans might decide to revisit the villians and bring them across with changes
I can't see ToQger being adapted ever. Frankly, I see Zyuohger having a better shot because their Mecha and weapons are cube based. What's popular in the US and is cube based? Minecraft. Kids will connect the two very easily and the toys will fly off the shelves.
It’s odd how trains aren’t thought of as “popular” in the west but I mean I get it. For example, the train bots from 2001 transformers robots in disguise didn’t sell well and so Takara Tomy said they would not be making them anymore
I as a kid really though power rangers team train are existed.But I wish it was real since is super cool
I love ToQger its up there as one of my favorite sentai with Timeranger, Shinkenger and PatoLupin. I'm glad it wasn't botched by Power Rangers.
Believe it or not, Zenith Films Media is adapting Toqger into Power Rangers Rail Riders.
