They lost their edge since season 2 of the Mighty Morphin saga.
For all it's faults in the beginning due to using more sentai footage the fights were more brutal, there was more punching and explosions and sparks flying everywhere etc. Once Rangers started to rely more and more on original footage all of the "edge" the first season had was gone. Every fight scene in the first season of MM looked and felt more brutal than pretty much everything that came after it.
That doesn't make the rest of it bad, in fact most of my fav PR series are the ones that deviate HEAVILY from the Sentai stuff like RPM and Space but that comes down to the story and characters being written well more competently.
But as far as the neo-Saban era goes? I think the franchise is complete garbage right now. PR was never high art, and was always "that weird tv show that was big at one point but now is just riding former glory but it's ok for kids to watch I guess" so an almost literal parody. The Neo-Saban series are like what cartoons in cartoons look like.
I honestly don't see things getting better anytime soon unless we get writers and show runners that want to actually make a watchable show instead of just "put some fight scenes together and improvise the dialogue in between".
