Gosei (Power Rangers Megaforce)

Gosei is a supporting character from Power Rangers Megaforce and its sequel, Super Megaforce. He is the mentor of the Mega Rangers and the protege of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers mentor, Zordon.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He is a soulless rip-off of Zordon and he sucks out the charm of him. If an anniversary season is to introduce a mentor similar to Zordon, the mentor should be better than this.
 * 2) He is a very useless mentor, rarely even calling the Rangers. Most of the time, he doesn't say a word unless it's something about new weapons and Zords like lottery tickets.
 * 3) He never explains anything to the rangers such as: How did he get the Ranger Keys? What are these “new powers” and where did they come from? What “adversity” did Troy go through? Why does Gosei give out powerful weapons and Zords like Halloween candy? Who are the Armada and where did they come from? Why is Jake's Super Mega Mode and Key Green and not Black? Why are The Super Megaforce Modes themed after pirates?
 * 4) He endlessly gives the Rangers new powers, Zords, upgrades, etc. like lottery tickets without any proper buildup and barely doing anything to help them whatsoever (which is by the way technically violating his “mentor” Zordon’s 2nd rule of being a Power Ranger: never escalate battles unless forced to by your enemies)
 * 5) Gosei is showed to be egotistical as he named nearly all of the Megaforce Rangers weapons, gear, Zords, Megazords, and Power Cards after himself. Heck, he even based the Rangers Gosei Morphers on his own image!
 * 6) His backstory is also filled with plot holes; the worst offender being in the 1st episode in which he stated that “He only awakens when the earth is facing an extraordinary threat”. Really? The Earth's been endangered for 20 years, yet you never awoke until now?! A better excuse would have been, "I was to awaken when the Warstar arrives on Earth." that way he had a reason to finally awaken and give the implication that the Warstar is a powerful group but nope, it's just a regular old threat where he never bothered to wake up until Megaforce happened.
 * 7) Other than saying that he's the protege of Zordon, we don't learn anything about him other than he created Robo Knight. That's it. We learn all kinds of things from other mentors but here? Much like Mentor Ji in Power Rangers (Super) Samurai, we aren't told a thing about Gosei's past like when was Gosei created? When did he and Zordon meet?

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) His design, while nowhere near original or inventive, can be nice to look at occasionally.
 * 2) His half-hearted pep talk in the finale is the last anyone will ever see of Gosei. Good riddance.
