Power Rangers S.P.D. Theme

One of the Most Lackluster Power Rangers Sequels Ever!

Power Rangers SPD, whose initials stand for "Space Patrol Delta" actually stand for "Shabby, Poor and Doltish" or however negatively they stand for. It may not be the worst Power Rangers sequel, but it is one of the most lackluster ever, just like most of its various predecessors, especially when Disney took over its franchise from Saban in 2002. The setup of the cast of characters and the plots or story lines are so screwed up for most of the Power Rangers sequels that just make no sense at all. In other words, they poured way too many unintelligent ideas into virtually each episode of so many sequels to date due to ill-preparedness of the crew members (i.e., writers, actors, producers, directors, etc.). At least the Japanese versions of the show, otherwise known as "Sentai" are far better in terms of story lines and setup of cast of characters as well as other aspects than the ones adapted by Saban and Disney. I acknowledge that the Power Rangers TV series would go on and on, but I feel Disney is simply wasting their time, money and energy in making such show that even some people call it a "rip-off" since they don't know how to manipulate borrowed ideas well enough to make the presentation of the show interesting. Instead of hiring actors, many of whom are virtual unknowns and don't know how to act well, they should start doing complete voice-overs of the Japanese version of the series with certain editings each and every year, or cancel the show altogether. Even most Power Rangers fans (including many kids) would prefer to watch the Japanese-made Sentai over Power Rangers TV series adapted by Saban and Disney because Sentai is more of a true original and well-elaborated in so many ways than we could ever imagine.
