Power rangers samurai premiered on nickelodeon in 2011, and the reception was lukewarm for what was supposed to be the big relaunch of the franchise after saban re-acquired the rights from disney back in 2010. the main complaints of the series are the hokey acting and the lack of originality in the story (being a cut-copy-and paste of the sentai series it is based on, samurai sentai shinkenger). however, i created a shinkenger adaptation pitch back in 2010 when PR when everyone thought PR was on its deathbed and disney stopped caring. lets jsut say it was very different than what we got: the characters had different names, different personalities, different ethnicities (including an asian red ranger, such a big missed opporitunity there given the motif) aswell as a completely original storyline that went in a completely different direction than what we got. here's the pitch.
