Disney were able to stick very closely to the sentai without watering them down, and they usually shot enough of their own stuff to make the seasons their own anyway. So Saban has no excuse for being so fucking lazy, they produce piss weak versions of the sentai with new modes that are there ONLY to sell toys and add nothing to the shows at all.

That is Saban's problem, laziness, you go back and watch the early Saban stuff where they really tried to make something new, you realise that they really made no attempt to make a cohesive show, using existing footage in a new direction, they just smashed Japanese footage into their American show whether it worked or not and as an adult it's just unwatchable.

People also really need to move on from MMPR.
