And if you want to talk about the show, I'd say in terms of effects and most likely budget, its at least on par with the Sentai stuff. The writing might not be the best, but I think that Dino Charge and Ninja Steel found a decent niche by going basically full action-comedy. I do feel like Nick drags the show down, but there's probably some reason why they're keeping it there.
Hey, it's not my argument - I just find it a more compelling one than "Saban likes money".

Y'all go on saying how much you want Power Rangers to be serious and then don't bother watching the episodes, I'll stay here and enjoy not-Bulk and not-Skull.
There's a difference between wanting goofy fun and wanting fart comedy each week though. There's a lot to like about Ninja Steel but that constantly feels like its dragging the show down.
But then, farts are what kids into these days so part of me can't really blame Power Rangers for going in that direction. Ninja Steel just feels like its targeting a much more specific audience than Samurai through Dino Charge did.

I did not know that, but then Yokai Watch was barely a thing over here
I'm surprised to hear that was the case given how huge it was in Japan at one point, but I really can't see the same happening for something with a 25 year history which gives a massive sales boost to Bandai's worldwide profits.
