Why do Americans ruin everything

[Captain Morgan]

coming out of Japan? Excessive censorship to the point that a show, literally becomes another show like, entirely! I recently started watching the original Zyuranger season 16 in Japanese dub and English sub, the one that became the basis for Mighty Morphin Power Ranger and i am under a cultural shock!

First thing, even though it still is a kid's show, it isn't snowflake friendly and it doesn't shoehorn social justice garbage, like multiculturalism (rangers are of the same race; the american show had almost each ranger be a member of another race, even dressing them with the same color suit, yellow for chinese, black for african, well to be honest THAT was racist!), feminism (original ranger team is composed of one girl 4 boys, american team is made of 2 girls 3 boys to even out the "odds" and changes the male yellow ranger into a female one), etc.

Likewise, there is a small degree of graphical violence, like injured civilians who actually bleed, real guns -even grenades- are pulled out and fired at times! Good old suggestive themes are present; the episode in which rangers turn temporarily evil is really badass (they gamble, beat people up live, even interrupt a yakuza illegal trade)! There are also various american alterations, that make the story inconsistent and the show look really dumb and devoid of contextual meaning; like kids (either in danger, or playing evil) being edited out of important scenes (space shuttle episode, island with dinosaur eggs, Rita's dead/reanimated son and his brainwashed child-squad riding Cyclopsis zord etc).

The rangers don't masquerade, aren't forced to be school students, their overseas school life isn't only boring but full of dumb activist stuff too (pollution petition etc). Zordon is a dignified old man versed in magic, instead of a test tube bald blob. And no bad humor (alpha 5, bulk&skull).

Even worse, the original japanese series contain references and partially draw inspiration from mythology like ancient greek (Dora-Ladon and apples of youth, Dora-Circe and the herb that broke the spell, Dora-Talos instead of Cyclopsis-Zord etc) and names reminding of roman era (dragonzord is dragon-ceasar), which the americans actually axed, making everything be alien, galactic and completely made up. The american ranger weapons are watered down, being more like plastic children toys in appearance, while the japanese ones are normal looking and rangers wield them without transforming, even! There is more action, hits land hard, even the sound effects are satisfying, the putties/golems can at least fight back and launch surprise attacks (from the ground), showing intelligence and occasionally, displaying tactics. The ancient japanese warriors and their eye-catching dressing is way more awesome, than american teens.

And there is even Fanservice! Upskirt flashes, pantsu (especially the episode that space shuttle rushes next to 2 schoolgirls) and all that otaku/weebo goodness, that americans fear and think is of the devil itself!

Americans ruin everything coming out of Japan. Same goes for Yugi oh card-artworks and anime show. Seriously, the universal language should soon change over to Japanese, instead of English. The 9th art screams for that to happen. Censor, go die!

Bro, I think you take this just a little too seriously.

[Sunshine]

Power rangers isn't censored Sentai, it was never supposed to be. It was supposed to be an American kids TV show. And it did a pretty great job being one.

Kids show filled with action, entertaining story, perfect amount of cheese and memorable characters?


Yeah it was great, too bad it's considered too violent nowadays.

[BillHicks]

Bro, imma blow your mind: you can watch both.

[Thejman5683]

Um you have seen recent sentai right?

[Darkronous the Supreme Senpai]

Power rangers was never meant to be a sentai adaptation, it was suppose to just use the footage with it's own plot and when it has copied sentai note for note, it has been terrible, so it kinda says more that power rangers series that are different from the sentai are considered to the be the best while those that copied the sentai are considered the absoulte worse

well lets see that 14 yr old white ranger blowing wind up 16 yr old girls skirts would be a few reasons, minor's promoting sexual harassment.

a lot of cultural differences that Americans won't get.
The fact it was a Teen show in japan and sexuality is more promoted to late teens.
and the series was turned into a kids show with mismatched episodes.

The green ranger was a character that died fairly quickly..

the yellow ranger had a crotch bulge. a lot of the reformatting of the show was rushed, the staff underpaid and upset. it wasn't a nice deal for the cast least not the original season 1-2 cast i mean 2 studios Making billions, while you the actor is making about minimum wages.

there are many reasons why not, but its nice to pretend its them darn american values.

Granted if it wasn't pushed as a kids show and was fan service, and anime like in plot..

it would have been laughed out even harder that it already was.

Back then doing that kind of show was seen and treated like a risk and waste of funds.

that's just a lazy management decision..
you can tell it was a lazy unfinished edit because they were planning to edit the cells due to the pronounced traced outline around the Onigiri.

It's not even an edit, he's still holding rice cake thingies. I love how he's trying to convince the audience that he's eating jelly filled donuts by repeating it 3 times.

4kids ruined a bunch of shows, but when looking at it out of context, it's gold.

4kids enhanced shows not ruined them i understand not being around at teh time they were airing that you wouldn't understand how big 4kids was but trust me, they turned shows that would have been forgotten at the time like shamen king, sonic x and kirby right back at ya into great and memorable shows

Doubt forgotten, more likely it would have been translated by fans; it would have eventually happened like everything else Anime/ japan cultism..

Even if it wasn't broadcast on TV in USA it would have had a cult following one way or another.

Most Dubs suck..

DBZ being satire of "The monkey king" in some bizarre space opera..
So I would expect the hero to have an irritating voice with the brain of a child.

But Most Dubs are badly timed, badly translated, & 1/2 baked trash..
Animated Japanese cartoons is conveyed by Japan, and should sound like it was meant to.
