Okay, been going on about these on Discord. But I put a fair amount of thought into these things, and really these are how I'd re-write Samurai, Megaforce and Super Mega... yeah, that.

Lauren Shiba, and by extension their counterpart in Shinkenger?

In real life they'd be complete nonsense. The power of the family would go to Jayden and Takeru.

As Japanese families work, the power goes to the firstborn son. Here's what I would have done if I was writing either season, as the only way to make the set up work? Have Jayden and Takeru adopted.

Make it a moral about the family you choose.

...and for that matter in Samurai make Lauren the real leader at the end and give her Jayden's awesome moments. I'd just use the budget to give Jayden a new American Ranger form. Now obviously Jayden would still take down Deker, but Lauren would be the one to strike down Xandred. Jayden would just do it in some new color like Silver instead of red.

And funny thing, someone pointed out that if Jayden and Lauren's roles were swapped to begin with? It'd make a more interesting story. Of course Mentor would be harsh on her, she'd be a girl which as I explained doesn't lend itself well to Japanese culture. There'd be other ways to go from this, like the now swapped Reds having more impact if Lauren is the one now having to prove herself a worthy leader because she's a girl and not traditional. Yeah, I know it's a bit cliche but it works and of course, the new Jayden Ranger Form would come from Antonio. Who, as we know, can tap into the grid and create his own powers.

Clash would... really stay the same honestly, I'd just use the RPM Rangers as well instead of just Samurai with Scott tacked on. However, Engine Dai-Shogun's footage would get used somehow, with the Samurai Rangers lending some of their power.

Now, the big one. The one we all hate. Go Go Megafarce.

Puts on Goseiger theme Need to slay the dragon in the right way after all! Now, this one's going to actually be easier to do given I have so little to work with.

Noah, he'd stay the same. Not much I need to change there.

Troy, someone pointed out he'd possibly be on the Autistic Spectrum with his lack of reactions. I'd play with that, say yeah he's on the spectrum and has struggles relating to people. Plus, with his visions? He's constantly paranoid for the next battle, be it next week or the next year.

Emma, hmm keep her Environmentalist angle just tone it down a bit. Give her a moment where like Rico, she tries to see the good in a Warstar Bug. Only, unlike Rico, it backfires. Test her a little.

Jake? Make him seem all sure of himself, but that's just a mask for lingering insecurities.

Gia? Just go with what was already there and have her take charge. Be the team's shadow leader, for when Troy's not able to step up to the task. Maybe she'd help him open up to people.

Robo Knight... change nothing. Like, nothing at all.

Vrak: Maybe keep the Prince angle, but he was adopted after being cast out of the Mystic Mother's realm for dark magic. Also, on villains, the Mutants would be surviving Orgs.

Gosei: Actually explore his origins as Zordon's pupil and have him be insecure about living up to his legacy. Hell, he'd be the counterpart to AkaRed with the powers originally belonging to Zordon as his Ranger form.

Now, Super Megaforce. Firstly, I'd drop the name. Like, uuuuugghhhh.

Now, to explain the discrepancy in Sentai footage with Gosei Black and Gokai Green? I'd have Green be Ziggy, because really... Can you think of anyone else who'd fit that fighting style? Seriously, the switchover basically makes Jake seem to lose several levels in competence.

Also, Vekar. He knows his father always favored Vrak in this version, the adopted kid. So that gives him massive insecurity issues. He strives to prove himself, and becomes the counterpart to Basco complete with Sixth Ranger Key Clones.

Damaras would stay his loyal guard. Argus would be the general to all the mooks.

Also, more actual tribute episodes and with returning Ranger themes and each tribute would have returning Rangers. The new Powers would be dropped to give actual focus to the powers we know and love. Also, Vrak is Back would stay the same. I'd switch Orion out for someone else though, namely this girl from In Space now grown up and a complete Ranger nerd.

Okay, there we go. That basically ends my little rant for the day. Now though, I have one question, why'd it take me all of 30 minutes to comprise good seasons when Saban couldn't give a crap?

Thank you for listening, and I'd appreciate your thoughts and comments below.
