I think this is the sad and unfortunate truth. As long as the target audience keeps swallowing Power Rangers in its current state and keeps buying PR related toys, both Saban and Bandai will be happy. As a result, there is no reason for them to innovate the franchise beyond spandex clad heroes fighting rubber monsters.
What I can't get over, however, is the lack of passion that oozes from these neo-Saban shows. It really gives me the feeling that the showrunners translate children being the target audience as not having to put effort in their show. |

Well, at least in the early 90's, I can give the showrunners the benefit of the doubt as they still experimenting with the show and that most children's shows at that time were nothing more than fancy 20 minute long toy commercials.
But you have a point that the showrunners back then only started to make truly good seasons after the show was near cancellation. If that logic does apply nowadays, we can only hope (Super) Ninja Steel is that season that does so badly, that it brings the show near cancellation. Or, more optimistically, Dino (super)charge was that season already, making Ninja Steel the franchise savior. |

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".

Disney may have had its flaws with their excessive censorship (turning bullets/shurikens into lasers for example) and their lack of promotion for their later seasons, but their seasons themselves range from being okay to outright good, with only PROO being poor. |

You maybe right but, Disney seasons wasn't epic like Old Saban seasons was.

I think RPM is the most epic season of the Disney Era.
