I think 'watered down' is unfair, very few Power Rangers seasons are straight adaptations - well technically none of them are really so it is impossible to water down something when you are a totally different franchise.

Sure there are limitations on American broadcasting that there aren't in Japan but Disney for the most part made each Power Ranger show its own, even when sticking to the sentai pretty closely.

Samurai on the other hand is everything the snobs claim, a watered down version of the Sentai, which is why I despise it with all my being.
