Seriously, if you go into any thread there are very vocal people defending Saban's I dunno....right to be lazy or something. I found myself close to ripping my hair out in that Dairanger thread, where Saban played right into the haters hands and lived up to their fantastical versions of Saban's shittiness...only for the haters to come galloping in the defence of the use of the footage. It's like they don't want to be right, they just want to be contrary.

It's just bizarre because when Power Rangers was good, you couldn't swing a cat for the people working holes until we had vortexes but now Power Rangers is genuinely a piece of shit, you can't swing a cat for people jumping into Saban's defence.

THE FUCK WORLD.

Well, let's look at this realistically: why does Saban care about fans like us? We're not the intended audience. This is a show for elementary/primary school children. They're the majority of the audience. They're the ones who are going to buy the majority toys (well, it will be with their parents' money, but you get the point). Their the majority of viewers. If older people are watching, that's great for Saban, but we're such a small minority, we're practically irrelevant. Yes, Super Megaforce was marketed towards fans, but Saban doesn't have to make it for fans. If we complain, Saban won't pay attention. Saban has a formula, it makes a lot of money for Saban, and the only trade-off (aside from taxes) is that a small group of people is grumbling.

The only way that fans can get Power Rangers to be made with effort is if we bought Power Rangers and made it ourselves. And, really, how many of us are actually capable of doing so?

As a 16-year-old, I could feasibly audition for the part of a Ranger and deliver an excellent performance, but I'd have to work with the writing that's given to me, no matter how sub-par, in addition to a cast that might not be as invested as I would be.

The gist of this post is, we can grumble and protest as much as we want, but Saban doesn't care about us.
