There are some bits I do like - as others have pointed out, the Pats and Umika are pretty fun characters, but Touma is our standard "jerky Blue" (who's at his most enjoyable when he's forced not to be that, see the dancing episode) and Kairi is just not fun to watch. His arc is interesting, sure, but I can't help but see it as unnecessary conflict that's coming too little, too late. And I really, really don't like Noel. His smarmy arrogance, how he treats the Pats, how he's rewarded for it, it all irks me.
And the plotting... yeah, it's bad. You can compare it to Wizard, but at least Wizard felt like it was building to *something*, and its final arc still stand out to me as really strong. Zyuoh less so, but I like all the cast in Zyuoh, and they actually managed to share out the screentime with them, probably because they weren't promoting one half of the team at the expense of the other. Add it on to another year where the villains are kinda boring and don't do anything right until the endgame, (it's been like this since ToQGer, imo), and it all adds up.
And it's annoying because it feels like there are some easy fixes to all this. Let the villains have more interactions between themselves, let them have arcs. (Not that the show can do it for more than two rangers here, it seems, but oh well.) You added Noel to the Pats, so maybe you can avoid the problem of the Lupins having to steal the treasure by having Noel do it, and need to give some to the Pats to feign loyalty to them. Or actually have him develop loyalty to them, because of the good old "power of teamwork" message Sentai usually loves. Idk, something about this whole show doesn't click for me, and it hasn't been clicking for a long time.
Heard there's a rumor about "kyoryuger 2" might air in march because of toy scans, so there's like 10+ episodes left of end game plot progression. If its true then there might be bts creativity issues like changing dragons to dinos at the very last minute of toy designs. Again, I would love more solid individual non brick zords like MagiKing. That was some well design and articulated bionicle. The same for rider, wizard dragon was dope as well as action, but story and character wise was shit because kyomi is in a idol group busy with tour, signing, and photos shoot with akibayellow. Anyway, if it end in the 50s, then there definitely delays in design and shooting for kishiryu, so I predict lupin epilogue like wizard. I can see lupin red continue to steal. The worst might be the collections are scatter or there's another batch of magical antique to collect while PatrRed continue to pursue the unknown lupinred. It would end would an endless cat and mouse game.
