There are some things that just won't change in Power Rangers.

1) No one dies

RPM got away with it (killing off NON-Ranger characters) but that's because no one that was funding it was paying attention to it until the bill came in.

2) The "6th" Ranger, whether they be an actual 6th or in this case a 4th, are always male

Changing Gold from male to female wouldn't work. Silver would have been a possibility, but not Gold.

3) Every season is a "new universe" as much as possible, with little to no references given to previous seasons

We never got a single mention of previous Power Rangers from Bulk's return in Power Rangers Samurai (even though he was part of MMPR, Alien, Zeo, Turbo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, and hell, even Wild Force in a sense). The most he ever said was "I know about Power Rangers" or something to that effect.

4) Use as much footage from Sentai as possible

The days of massive original shooting are over. There's some hope since New Zealand changed their prices to be more affordable with other countries, but all Saban sees is a way to do it the same and use the savings to pad his profits.

We, as Power Rangers fans, need to accept the sad reality we live in now - copy/paste Sentai shows from a story standpoint with subpar acting, little to no references to the history of the franchise, and a heavily-pushed toy-centric ideology (new toys must be introduced every 2 to 3 episodes).

I just made a bet with trekkieb47 about Dino Charge. My bet was this:

- No actor for Kyoryu Cyan
- No actor for Kyoryu Grey
- Only female Kyoryu Violet, no male ever shown

You save money by not having to hire more actors this way (literally cutting 3 paid positions out from the budget) and you don't have to shoot new footage.

I should go work for Saban.

Seems good and Yes you should work for Saban
