You can't make a counterargument for something that has not actually been argued in the first place.
All he is arguing is about the specific Cube Animals being well engineered and creative in their individual transformations. Which is not something he is wrong about.
He also never said anything about the cubes being unequivocally better than the power animals.
His exact words were:
Which is kind of exactly the "these two sets are trying to do two different things" approach you say he should be taking. In this case, it seems he is arguing that their strengths are that the power animals have a stronger focus on aesthetics while the cubes generally have more involved transformations. Which, again: not actually incorrect.
Quote:
The cubes are far more creative in their transformations, period.
That sounds like his pretty "unequivocally better than the power animals" stance. But agree to disagree or not, everyone's personal tastes aside, it's just not correct to make that statement at all. These toys are nowhere near Power Animal levels of engineering. I just don't get how anyone can make that argument. Power Animals have strong visual aesthetics, that's true, but they are also better engineered toys plain and simple, they are more complex pieces. Given the 1st entries in the Zyuohger line, I just don't see how currently the argument can be reasonably made otherwise.
Taken as individuals or as whole mecha, there's sort of no comparison. Which again brings us back to why I did the comparison photos in the first place, to show just how far standards of engineering have fallen in the 15 years since our last animal themed anniversary series. I understand I have a huge bias for Gaoranger already, but looking at this objectively, they really just are better engineered and more complex toys. That seems pretty clear to me.
Arguing otherwise, as I stated earlier in this thread, ignores fact. Like what you want to like but don't make the case for something that just isn't factually correct. That'd be like arguing VHS is better than Blu-Ray because of it's simplicity & charm rather than taking into account the technological shortcomings of the format. From an engineering standpoint one is clearly much weaker, which in this analogy is clearly the Cube Animals.
