Super Sentai cancelled!? What happened?



It's been a while since I last played an online game. I posted on my Instagram account. 

I just read the news about Super Sentai being cancelled for 50 years. I'm upset about the ending of the Sentai series, which makes me sad. After I read on Twitter, I was shocked to see the news that Toei decided to cancel the beloved Sentai rebranding a new Tokusatsu similar to Kamen Rider, cancelled at the end of the Showa era. I used to love Super Sentai since I saw it on the internet back in 2001, when it was celebrating its 25th Anniversary of Super Sentai. Gaoranger was released before Wild Force had ended, with Saban's Entertainment being acquired by Disney in 2001. 

How it started back in the early '90s. I grew up watching Biomn and Liveman in French dub at my uncle's house in Algeria. I moved to Manchester with my family after four years. Power Rangers, based on the Super Sentai series, changed my life forever. I had a collection of toys when I was a kid. In 2001, I discovered on the internet something fascinating. I was shocked that Saban used Japanese stock footage of fight scenes and a giant robot for the show, similar to Godzilla with the late Raymond Burr. 



Here's my reaction to Super Sentai's ending.   

In 2018, Bandai discontinued its sales to Hasbro. But the problem was never released in the UK. Some British fans are upset. I'm upset too, because Hasbro hasn't brought it since Pandemic in 2020. I look up the Argos website, and there's nothing that came out, just Dino Fury only, since G.I. Joe never got made or released in the UK during the 80s. When Action Force, based on G.I. Joe, became successful in the UK. I get pissed off about Hasbro killing Super Sentai like they did to Optimus Prime's death scene from Transformers: The Movie, causing the traumatization of childhood. Cosmic Fury was the last Sentai footage of Kyuranger mecha, like Thudnerzords, based on Dairanger mecha. 

I went to Forbidden Planet, and at last, Power Rangers' Automorphin, bringing back memories of my childhood. I pick Red Ranger, which reminds me of OG Automorphin. In 1996, my grandfather gave me Automorhpin from Egypt when I was a kid. 

Gokaiger came out the first time, and I watched Keyhole TV. When Gaddafi shut down the internet, I had nothing to watch Gokaiger, so I missed it. I posted an offensive tweet, my reaction to Keyhole TV lagging. Just like the old times, I smack the TV, renewing the broadcast been cut. Do you imagine how they missed the Football match that aired? Everyone who threw the bottle at the screen and pssing off went back home. 

Maya Imamori, who played Sumino Ichikawa, aka Gozyu Unicor, was arrested for underage drinking. I remember John Haymes, who played Superboy, got fired for DUI and was replaced by Gerald Christoper in 1989. Now, she replaced Kohaku Shida, who previously played Donsister from Avataro Sentai Donbrothers, just like the three actors were fired without being paid a replacement in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers season 2. In 1984, Yellow4 was killed, in real life, one of the actresses who departed. They decide to kill off the character and replace a new Yellow4. 

Hasbro canceled Ninja Kidz' claim to be an AI. Yeah, you've seen the news all over the world. I watched the trailer before deleted, I got confused about the missing scene. The full comments attack on Ninja Kidz for using the AI. I know the AI-generated looks sick and ugly. I got sick too, after seeing on Instagram gave nightmares to children, causing PTSD. The trailer, actually, looks like a fan movie since the R-rated version of Power Rangers in 2015. I guess the CGI is awful with morphing, and what about Lord Zedd's transformation?  He looks terrible, reminding me of the Scorpion King from "The Mummy Returns." When the CG version of Dwayne Johnson has an ugly face, it's like a video game, with completely bad graphics.

What happens next? Well, Toei announced a rebrand of a new show, and what going to look like is a new Tokusatsu.
