I didn't even realise that Kamen Rider Decade was being adapted. Are they trying Kamen Rider again? It seems like... a bad idea. Kamen Rider tends to be a lot more serious than Super Sentai.

Not Decade. After Kamen Rider Black was brought over for the Masked Rider series, the maker of Kamen Rider took a look at what they did with it and was so disgusted that he said he'd never let them touch it again from what I heard. It seems he's softened his stance on that. Kamen Rider Ryuki was brought over in 2009 as Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight, but got canceled. I don't think there's anything else coming out with it right now.

I like Galaxies a lot when it was first airing. I was in 7th or maybe 8th grade and it really was awesome. The last few episodes had a but more maturity than I was expecting which is probably why I will always remember the show favorably.

Also Magna Defender was a horny bastard.

Speaking of mega crossovers; anyone seen Superior Ultraman 8 Brothers (I THINK that was the title)? Original flavour Ultraman showing up, classic transformation and all, made me so happy.

I'm sorry, but is that a goddamn pirate ship red zord?

I'm in. Let's do this thing.

i will just pose the fact that there is a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie coming out, and it's by Disney. So, if there is any chance of this going to Disney too, there is a micro change of the most Absurd, Awesome and Stuuuuuuuuupid crossover ever in history.

Yep!

Although it's a bit strange that the yellow ranger's Zord is the trailer part of a semi. :/

I posit that Disney is probably going to run PotC into the ground because they don't actually know what made it good and/or are just going to milk the cash cow until it's powder. Just like Bobby Kotick! Seriously, even most of the actors have resorted to flat-out refusing to do more. Plus I don't know if Captain Jack Sparrow is really suited to the whole "fireworks and explosions" thing that Power Rangers deals in every day, much less the "fighting giant monsters in giant robots."

Also, Disney's been producing these things for years. Although it seems that Nickelodeon has some part in it now from the Shinkenger port trailer. Guess it's off to Wikipedia to see what happened there.

Saban bought the series back from Disney a couple months ago, when they tried to cancel it after RPM, and now Power Rangers Samurai is gonna air on Nick next year.

Ah, thank you. That does boost my hope a bit. Saban did many things in his run, but recording bad new battle footage wasn't one of them.

No prob. And speaking of Samurai, it's seems there's a new trailer on the Nick site.

I grew up on the original show back in the early-mid 90's and loved it up to Ninja. >_> That's when it went downhill for me.

By the way, favorite Zord was the Dragonzord. That thing was just awesome until the Tigerzord appeared.
