As I'm going through a Power Rangers binge on Netflix to see everything I missed and just watch everything before the Legend War, I read that just like Samurai, Wild Force is also a watered down clone of its Sentai equivalent, Gaoranger.
Just how similar are they? I'm currently haflway through Wild Force and I noticed they kept some obviously very japan-ish humour in the sentai footage(Danny being stuck under a giant banana, saying sorry to an Org for accidently digging in a lawn with his feet) but even the American Footage felt like it just duplicated scenes from Gaoranger without any adaptation, like Alyssa flying over people sitting on a bench with her bike, Max and Alyssa laughing at Danny who can't drive a bike while holding books or Alyssa suddenly jumping to her feet and loudly claim it's all her fault what(ever) happened to Cole.
Nothing feels genuine. I know in other seasons they adapt Sentai episodes for Power Rangers but the characters feel real and act like people do here. The episodes are adapted properly using the same themes and ideas but in the new Power Rangers world it has to work in. The actors in Wild Force don't have that flow. It often feels like the actors are asked to duplicate down to body movement how the actors moved in Gaoranger. It's totally unatural.
Is it why people don't like Samurai? Is it really like this in Wild Force or am I overanalyzing it when I'm watching it? I can see how that would affect the quality of the show and the acting. Acting a character is one thing, duplicating perfectly how an actor from a different country acts and move is something else.
