Eh. I know what Super Sentai and Godzilla are. I've heard of Kamen Rider (and seen a pic) and Ultraman.
Other than my small knowledge of Godzilla, and basic knowledge of what Super Sentai is, I don't really know anything about any of them.

Wow, my respect for you has increased kyle.
But which era of kamen rider did you see a pic of Showa, (70-80s), or Heisei (2000-now).

The originals, yay!
At least you know the adaptation, some people assume that anything live-action is japanese power rangers.

I'm assuming Super Sentai is probably better than the American Power Rangers?
I know that PR isn't just a dub of SS.

Well sometimes.
PR is more of a US adaptation of SS.

Yeah, and honestly, the whole Power ranger type genre is only catered to kids, and so, they don't have to do anything really to be popular. Just get a coupla explosions and lots of posing, and there you go. No need for anythign resembling a decent plot, character development, non cliche characters, or anything. Its very similar to shonen anime.

Don't forget the slow motion. EVERYTHING in Power Rangers was slow motion.

Good times, good times.
Now PR has way to many explosions for no reason.
Saban > Disney.

I never said it was a bad thing. Who needs any of that stuff when there's explosions and the leveling of a city every episode.

Your talking about the Sentai footage right?
I was talking about the US footage in the Disney ones.

The only PR seasons/series I liked were Mighty Morphin, Lightspeed Rescue, and Time Force. All the recent ones suck really badly. Kids don't even watch PR anymore.

Yeah, I found out that I don't like any Power rangers. I was in a delusion that Mighty Morphin was decent.

I personally like VR troopers the most, Big bad Beetle borgs was cool too, Super Human Samurai was awesome, Masked Rider man that was some horrible splice footage.
