Whoever recommended Forever Red to you did you the biggest disservice because almost every red ranger in that lineup is pretty awesome in their respective series. Also, the reason why the action in Forever Red is different from Ninja Storms is because originally the Power Rangers IP was owned by Saban Entertainment but during Wild Force, the ip was bought by Disney so Wild Force is transitional period and Ninja Storm is the first Disney produced season. But then the IP was sold back to Saban until it was sold to Hasbro a few years ago which explains why Shane wasn't in Forever Red, Wild Force was the season prior to Ninja Storm.
