Heyllo /m/ I've been doing a little show called Adaptations Across Countries where I take a look at some of the most extreme differences between stories that get adapted for other countries.
Recently I did an episode on Power Rangers and ZyuRangers. I especially find it interesting that the whole Mythological theme of the Dora Monsters was taken out and many more interesting story elements were removed.
What do you guys think of the difference between each series?

It'd be easier to say what isn't different honestly. MMPR was less of an adaptation and more an entirely new show that used stock footage from a different show.

I'd like to compare say Star Fleet to X-Bomber. I wonder how accurate the translation was. Saban and a lot of American companies tended to just make new shows out of the original material, sometimes keeping close, and sometimes just doing whatever.

You could say then that they adapted the footage for an new audience. Which I find fascinating given cultural differences.

One of the biggest differences regarding the stock footage is the yellow ranger is a dude.

To be fair, suit actors tend to be dudes a lot anyway.

>ZyuRangers
Y'know if you can't even get the title right I just have to assume the entire thing is full of inaccuracies and information and I'm not gonna watch it.

Im not clicking your link becuase Im not willing to take the chance that this doesn't involve Linkara somehow

Maybe OP is a villain from Zyuranger.

On the list for review.

nowadays they got more female suit actors for the female rangers, instead of needing to add males

And one boy ranger in Kyuuranger is suit acted by a woman.

Isn't Star Fleet a pretty straight translation job?
How about Kamen Rider Ryuki and Dragon Knight?
>>15757159
Definitely wanna do that one
>>15750999
Power Rangers is not an adaptation at all. Stop spreading this.

Granted, the toku fanbase can do the second one.
