... Why do you need to use a Battlizer to execute your Megazord's finishing move? I'm okay with Mega Mode in the abstract if I pretend it's a form of augmented psychic control like the Robotech novels' "thinking cap." I'm even okay with Super Mega Mode since, you know, a Super Samurai Ranger still has to control the Megazord. WHY DO YOU NEED AN ENTIRE ARMORED MODE JUST TO PULL OUT A DAMN FINISHER? Jayden isn't even using a laser for his finisher, he's WAVING HIS SWORD AND SOMEHOW THIS IS MAKING A GUN FIRE.
Personally i'm trying to not be tOOO hard on samurai considering they had a month to get it together before filming, kinda hard to make a quality product when rushed like that
They had a little over three. Carl Macek produced Robotech under tighter conditions, with less lead time, with NO original footage, and it was still better than this dross.
They had a "writing" hiatus of two months while the show was in production between Samurai and Super Samurai's month-long filming break. There was time to iron out these problems. ANYONE who claims the onus of blame falls on the scheduling is an apologist. Better writers did better work in less time under more stringent conditions. You know what the problem is? THE SHOW IS A TRANSLATION. They need to RECLASSIFY THE SERIES BACK TO AN ADAPTATION IF WE EVER WANT TO EXPECT QUALITY AGAIN.
