I used to love this show as a kid so I tried to check it out on Netflix.

Whose idea was it to cram two unrelated, decade-old Japanese tv shows into this? The pacing and editing for the action scenes ends up looking so bad and the heroes are almost never on screen together in costume. Its actually kind of hilarious.

It is pretty genius to have all the action to take place in Virtual Reality though, so the grainy and washed out visuals are technically world building rather than low quality stock footage >_>

I too recently went back on Netflix to check it out again. Same with Big Bad Beetleborgs. The acting is just so bad. In both shows it actually got much worse in their second seasons. They were good for their time when we were younger, but aged horribly.

MMPR on the other hand was great. It had editing issues, but the music, tone, acting, and characters were so much better, and remains a favorite of mine.

Toys. All because of toys. Power rangers toys sold gang busters, so everyone wanted in on it. So we got beetleborgs and vr troopers.

Yeah I can still watch MMPR from time to time and enjoy it. It really had a likable charm to its cast and world.

As a kid I always felt that VR Troopers wasnt popular because no one else I knew talked about it. Imagine my surprise when I learned that it was almost as popular as POwer Rangers and the only reason it was cancelled was lack of stock footage >_>

Was VRT that popular though? I remember it being on UPN, and no one I knew watched that channel...or even had it.

Everything I find today claims its ratings at the time were comparable to a Power Rangers. But yeah as a kid I felt like the only one.

UPN was great though. I miss that channel <_<

We did get Samurai Pizza Cats out of Haim Saban's run of buying up Japanese shows and splicing them together, so it all worked out for the best.
