Tokusatsu T’day: Toei’s Mightiest Heroes

October 28th, 2008 by Chad Bonin

Ah, the secret origins of a classic Super Sentai. Himitsu Sentai GoRanger started what would become Super Sentai in the 70s, but it officially got that title with Battle Fever J. Toei had already worked with Marvel to produce the live-action Spider-Man series that introduced the concept of fighting a monster both on the ground and then in a giant robot.

Yes, Spider-Man is the reason we have Megazords.

Battle Fever J, the second time Toei had worked with Marvel, features Battle Japan, Battle France, Battle Cossack, Battle Kenya, and Miss America (not the actual Miss America, but a heroine named Miss America) working together to fight the traditional forces of evil.

If things had progressed as planned, it would have been Captain Japan, a Marvel-sanctioned  spinoff/remake.

Marvel never really mentions the fact that they had a hand in creating Power Rangers.

 

Tokusatsu T’day: Daihenshin Sentai Poweranger?

November 29th, 2007 by Chad Bonin

We all know the schedule. Toei makes a Super Sentai. The following year, Disney (or back in the day, Saban) adapts it into a Power Rangers. After that?

Once in a while, Toei dubs Power Rangers into Japanese.
