On a level, you still want to respect your childhood and look back fondly, but it's not hard to see and hear things that just make you cringe now! They also took Zyu and changed any resemblance of story into something that is just meant to be entertaining to kids, aggravate the hell out of parents, and pad Saban's net worth! Season 1 really fell short in terms of storyline save for Green Ranger plots! Season 2 started to show where they had come into their own and got more involved! Season 3 is Saban and Co. playing with a defibrillator, cause Mighty Morphin' had started to run its course! Some of the succeeding seasons, In Space or Lost Galaxy or Time Force actually had certain details that could be considered "mature" or "adult" and it is easy to see in hindsight some of those details we missed earlier! What do they always say: "hindsight is 20-20"!!!
Mhmm, agreed.
Another factor is, that this show is still for kids. And I'm not saying "STFU, it's a kid's show, deal with it!!!!!!" But instead, most of us were introduced to Power Rangers as a kid. It pandered to us as kids, we ride on that nostalgia and first experience wonder, and we look at it now like it's somehow not good enough, but it's still doing its job and that's being a kids show.
I mean, I don't even watch it anymore, but I still collect the toys, specifically the Zords. So I'm still a fan, but I guess more of giant robots and not necessarily the story itself. This is probably why I don't have a huge problem with the new movie Megazord because hey, another robot toy.
Gosh I'm old.
