  The problem is that in 90s, Americans studios always wanted to adapt everything. Meanwhile, in Latin America, we watched everything dubbed and were having a blast.

  Furbies being a rip-off of a horrendus character from a Kamen Rider localization is some deep lore I wasn&apos;t expecting.<br>It&apos;s like the exact opposite vibe of &quot;super sentai&apos;s giant robots are a result of Japanese Spiderman&quot;

  You gotta watch the episode where his adopted grandma comes for a visit<br>she gets kidnapped but she doesn&apos;t have her glasses on, so she just thinks the insect monsters are &quot;hooligans&quot;<br>she wanders around the alien ship and starts breaking Dregon&apos;s shit<br>and they seemingly have no other way of stopping her, so they turn her into a statue to shut her up

  Y&apos;know I&apos;ve actually wondered before why we never got a Kamen Rider localization when Power Rangers was <b>so</b> successful. Now I know.

  Its interesting that Super Sentai and Kamen Rider got adaptions made up of reused footage but Ultraman got two completely original series co-produced with Australian and American studios. The first of those two shows, Ultraman Great, is pretty widely liked by the fandom.

  The really bizarre thing is that when Masked Rider first showed up on Power Rangers, the story was surprisingly dark for Power Rangers with them talking about how Edenoi had been rendered toxic by Count Dregons&apos; attacks and how it couldn&apos;t be saved.<br><br>Then that&apos;s totally dropped in his own show. Ferbus wasn&apos;t in that story either.

  On the other hand, the localization of Kamen Rider Ryuki was SO good, the people in Japan loved it enough to give it it&apos;s own dub AND original theme. Dragon Knight was an example on how to do a localization right and it saddens me that we missed out on a movie.

  Wish you brought up a big reason why this show focused so much on the comedy. That being the fact unlike Super Sentai, where the monster costumes were only a year old, so they were readily available to Power Rangers, Kamen Rider Black RX came out in 1989, so the costumes for the monsters were either too decayed to use or were outright destroyed. Basically they only had the Masked Rider suit, Draegon&apos;s suit, his lady assistant&apos;s suit, and some foot soldiers. This is also why Dex wears a copy of Kotaro;s suit.

  Saban basically treated kids like idiot who can&apos;t differentiate the different rider designs. He thinks he can get away with it as he feels nobody gonna give a damm since this just a kids show. But history prove otherwise. People do give a damm and this embarrassment is not going away and instead getting more traction. &nbsp;Saban has earned his reputation as the king of bastardization of Japanese superhero shows.
