Why do people hate the Disney Era so much? I've only recently got back into the fandom in the past three years or so and my actual viewing experience of the show since then consists of a handful of episodes of Samurai, RPM and most of SPD, so all this hate toward it kind of goes over my head.

What did they do that was so terrible?

I think it's just a mix of Disney's executive meddling (unavoidable actually, any company would meddle) Operation Overdrive. The season, the merchandise, the comparison to the Sentai, the anniversary team up, it all just wasn't very good. But for some reason, it has SO much wrong (somehow) that it spreads not only to Ninja Storm but proceeds to taint Jungle Fury (again, somehow). RPM just manages to miss the cloud of suck by virtue of being a revamped in Space. The female villian related to a main hero who's trying to find her and a finale that features civilians in an all out assault, not to mention the lampshade hanging unintentional (or completely intentional) references to Teminator and 2001: A Space Oddessy, and the at-the-time impact of the whole "go out with a bang" concept.
Yes it's unfair to hate all of Disney's Seasons, just as it is unfair to hate the entire Kalish Era and Bruce Kalish himself. It's why I hold all seasons to a first and foremost base standard of "Best Megazord Design." It's something the Sentai can't be used in for judging characters or story, nor BoA for modifying in domestic release.
I do not like DaiBouken/the DriveMax Megazord, nor do I like the Sixth Ranger's mecha, the land battleship, or the non-drill accessory mecha. And that's what I use to help make a season's praises or scorn affect my going in to it. Jungle Fury is often forgotten sadly, and it did do quite well with managing the Sentai footage and story. I'm sorry, but Gekiranger, WHILE VERY GOOD, has to many two parters early on. The Kensei giving the Gekirangers new weapons didn't NEED to be stretched into two parts, but it wasn't detrimental to the overall season. Goseiger it hated by so many, but considering it's placement in the series and a more "generally simple and nice" story, not to mention simple toys and card gimmick, I can see how some would not like it. But I don't. I see it as a nice season with a catchy and very nice theme song, great toys, and an awesome movie exclusive mecha ( ). But that is just my opinion. And the superficial is how I begin examining a season. That IS how kids are drawn in. Why do you think Zyuranger was picked for the first season of Power Rangers? Because dinosaurs are popular with kids.

Long story short: Disney just hit a big pothole and people's nostalgia and love of the Sentai exasperated the problems too much.
