Samurai got better, it's a more competent series than Megaforce/Super Megaforce. They picked a very strongly written Sentai to copy/paste from, and the minor original touches they did have were good. I know fans went off comedy duos in PR a long time ago, but for me Bulk and Spike were solid additions and at times they salvaged the earlier stuff. Nope, I still don't see it that way. Sorry. I still think the show needed to be less of a copy-and-pasting of Shinkenger and more like an actual adaptation of the Sentai. Much like Power Rangers Zeo was when it was adapting Ohranger into its' own storyline. Or like RPM was the exact opposite of what Go-onger was. Those are the kind of examples of how to adapt Super Sentai into a show for a western audience, the right way. Hell, even better. Alita: Battle Angel was LITERALLY taking story elements from the manga, but being respectful for the material and putting it on the big-screen. And it worked. Same goes for the live-action Bleach movie on Netflix. That was another adaptation done right.

Totally I hated the copy paste scripts and very limited acting the cast had. And bulk and spike was to separate from main story. Hell if it was more jungle fury or ninja storm type dtory and had its own difference from sentai could have been better seasons.

Okay, I am currently rewatching Linkara's history of Power Rangers review on Power Rangers Samurai/Super Samurai via the reaction videos of fellow youtubers and Tokusatsu fans, Master Ryo Sakurai and the Rider Bros. And, I am in the middle of part four. However, I just realized why I've disliked Jayden as a character especially in the final arc when Lauren came in. He is officially part of this huge trend/character troupe that was currently made into a staple of the history of Tokusatsu. And it is the one trend/troupe that almost everybody hated in a Tokusatsu character. That troupe is.....The Idiot Red Ranger!!! Yeah, I sad it. Jayden "Shiba" is an IDIOT RED POWER RANGER!!! Even more of a bigger idiot Red Ranger than Takaharu Igasaki/Akaninger, Raito/Toq #1 and Sosuke Esumi/Go-On Red combined. Except he's an All-American, cookie-cutter white man with a Japanese last name. Congratulations, Jonathan Tzachor and Haim Saban. You gave us our first-ever American idiot Red Ranger in Power Rangers, back in 2011. Although, Troy Meadows/Megaforce Red could be considered an idiot Red Ranger, but the problem is that he's too much of a bland cardboard/robot to even be considered an actual idiot. Brody Romero/Ninja Steel Red, *barf!!!* He's just absolute garbage. Just like the entire series of Ninja Steel/Super Ninja Steel. Except for Dimensions in Danger and the Poisy Show.

Zarius: Bulk was crowbared into a season that didn't need him and in a way that completely disrespected his character development, and Spike was just a poorly conceived caricature who served zero purpose.
xman: Samurai isn't a perfect iteration of the franchise, but it's unequivocally better than it gets credit for being and solidly earned a spot on my list of "top favorite" seasons with its story, characters, and cast.

Yes everyone has there feelings on which shows they like or dislike. Samurai did do well for the target young kid demo. But it did so much wring for older fans. And the lazy acting, and story direction crew did. Now ya there was some good things about show select episodes certain cast members. But there is so much more they could have done if they had better direction. Just think how show could have been if it was something akin to dt, ninja storm, jungle fury for example.
