Do you think Saban should do this? Would you watch it?

Ι vote yes, masked rider is fine for me. For sure there are potentials for something better

I voted yes as well. If Saban does adapt Kamen Rider again, I'm curious to see what he would do with a show like Den-O (my no. 1 Heisei KR show).

Decade would be fun! And it would be perfect if they adapt goseiger at the same time to take advantage of the card gimicks for both to make more $$$

yes they should adapt it, everyone uses Masked Rider as a reason to have them never touch it again but they made bad Power Ranger seasons too but noone doubts their ability to adapt Sentai

Isn't this already being discussed in the toku forum?

No,because if this is how they adapted Shinkenger,imagine how Kamen Rider would be. Then again aslong as they dont go near Decade,im fine for it. Ryuki has already been messed up,i mean "adapted",so mite as well there be another chance to get some more cheap kamen rider merchandise eh?
Then again,i am all for them adapting it,i dont care about their show,i just want some more henshin belts,lolz Preferbly,i think Faiz,Kabuto,Blade or W could use an adaption.And since theyle use word for word of the acting and lines,it mite not be so bad as KRDK pointless story was. O_o

Kamen Rider is 0 for 2 as far as good adaptations go. Maybe it's better off left alone.

I have no doubts that, like Ultraman, people will keep trying to do adaptations even though they're doomed.

Nope. I prefer a dub at this point. Let them heir the usual Godzilla dub actors and dub Kamen Rider with zero edits and zero cuts. Hell if JT is going to continue to ***k up power rangers this bad, they might has well have the Godzilla team dub Sentai has power rangers too.

It still makes me sad a joke that Jonathan just wanted to dub Shinkenger as Power Rangers due to the schedule crunch ACTUALLY TURNED OUT TO BE TRUE, albeit as an idea he floated and never a serious consideration.

That...would not have gone down well. Dubbed Sentai is NOT Power Rangers.

The reason it was never considered for long is even funnier.
"It's harder to market the show internationally (PR is big in South America and the Middle East) without a multiethnic cast."

They should tell that to the countless fans who watch the super sentai shows subtitled.

That's kind of bull, but at the same time it wouldn't be Power Rangers. Though, Korea does that and calls it Power Rangers.

Korea is oriental though like Japan, so the Sentai rangers have the right ethnicity for that market.

I think it would be interesting to see another US KR adaptation in general.

Not really. Samurai is really a regional variation of Shinkenger, similar to the N/A version of the BBC show, Being Human. Samurai however not only takes the same story and retells it but reuses footage. Samurai also doesn't ditch things the bad filler (or mini stories) and changes character personalities on the fly to match the reused footage. More or less Samurai is some kind of regional-variation and adaption hybrid. Being Human on the other hand is a pure regional variation. Same Basic story, all original footage and enough small changes from the original story to make it watchable by both countries. A dub on the other hand would be Shinkenger with the japans voices replaced with American ones and no other changes.

We're never going to get an official dub of Sentai or Kamen Rider. Ever.
I'd prefer to see an adaption marketed as 'Kamen Rider', not 'Masked Rider'. It sounds too cheesy. Personally I want to see Faiz, Den-O, or W adapted.
Please, Saban? PLEASE!

Well, Decade can't be adapted, You needed the other eight prior series to have been adapted first, and getting the Wangs to agree to this, due to Dragon Knight. Den-O is a great choice, as it is close enough to Power Rangers to be a transitional series, in case any other series get adapted.
That said, I would love to see Double or OOO get adapted as it gets away from the "Decade" issue.

Nonsense. You can just adapt Ryuki in a completely different way than Dragon Knight did for a Decade hack. You don't need CRAP from the Wangs. Buying the KRDK IP rights in the Adness fire sale does that, consent be damned. They lost the license.

Yeah, Adness is history, so Dragon Knight is no longer an obstacle for adapting Decade (in fact, it's possible that Saban now owns it!). But the other eight unadapted shows are.

You don't need to have adapted the prior 8 or 9 seasons. Kids won't care, all kids will care about is 'look at all the different Riders'.

So the suits may be usable - but the story and premise certainly aren't.
