Why is Power Ranger's "Legend Wars" devolving to Saban vs Power Rangers Past?

Yes, Gokaiger didn't try to bring as close to 100% of 35 years of Super Sentai in terms of classic actors and actresses into the show. That would just be insane. Kamen Rider Decade didn't try that either but had a few golden points (Black/Black RX reprising his role for instance). However it seems Saban is going to celebrate turning 20 by having its closets opened, and its nasty skeletons march out to infect all Walking Dead style... good work, Saban, way to go.

Go on YouTube, look up Megaforce, there should be a few minute video that the Legend War is now in production, complete with some photos of the filming to whet your appetite. This, of course, is the war fought in Gokaiger for the 35th Anniversary of Super Sentai... only it's barely in production and already things are coming apatrt. How so? Let me count the ways.

- Saban might have remembered to finish airing regular Megaforce first... remember it unexpectedly ground to a halt at Episode 9, and seems to only be half the size of Goseiger for some odd unfathomable reason. I suspect it may yet be 40 episodes but they wrapped that a long time ago. They're just burning up hiatus weeks before starting again... if there are only 20 episodes though? This might not start again until November!

- If you were hoping turning 20 would make Saban more appreciative of the old gang? Think again. Bad blood dating all the way back to Power Rangers Zeo if not right back to the first generation Power Rangers, insulting generic form letters, and that's only the start! You say there's 70 Saban era Rangers? Saban only wants 10 (1/7th or 14%!)... and they're completely ignoring the Disney era Rangers... which kinda explains snubbing some Mighty Morphin Rangers, since didn't some of them help Disney with the Remastered MMPR?

- Gokaiger? Maybe it wasn't a total 35 year actor reunion, but all 35 years of Super Sentai was fully represented. Saban? Forget snubbing pre Zyurangers Super Sentai, they're trying to Sub over 80% of Saban' s own history AND the Disney era of Power Rangers! How messed up is that!

Saban better stop production on Super Megaforce, do a full inside out evaluation of their priorities, then go into full on Dr. Phil counseling with both the Saban and Disney era Power Rangers. If they're going to deliver a 20th Anniversary Legend War that isn't some shoddily produced, poorly made and executed, quick money maker there needs to be reason... ON BOTH SIDES INCLUDING DAVID YOST AND THE OTHER ANNIVERSARY POOPERS!!

For God's sake, everyone, pretend you give a Mighty Morphin Fuck about your fans and make this happen!
