As the series continued, we got sillier and sillier baddies, but it was more confined to the regulars and not the MOTWs. Rito, for example, was pure comic relief, and by the time Rito had showed up, so was Goldar.

I don't know, I've always read MMPR as earnest in the face of high camp, while SPD is sort of just "embrace the crazy and don't ask too many questions."

As far as characters, they don't really go on character arcs in MMPR. They're all fairly standard characters and don't evolve much over the course of the three years, save Tommy who goes from outsider to confidant, to aww shucks guys to super leader dude.

I coulda said 'stupid villains like Ninja Storm' but it looks like not a lot of people have seen Ninja Storm and MMPR is the most stupid after it. This series is the other way round, the Generals were clearly all written by the good writers along with key monsters like Sky's friend and the guy who killed his Dad but most seem to be written by the shit writers.

And that is kind of what I meant, the MMPR characters don't grow and the SPD ones wouldn't either if the shit writers have anything to say on the matter.
