In western forms of entertainment, I'm picky with it, like I don't like incredibly buff guys to portray Spider-Man and I don't want scrawny looking Topher Grace weakling portraying Venom cuz that's how the character is portrayed in the comics. In Toku shows, that reasoning with me flies out the window cuz with me, I kinda see it like the suit they wear gives them the strength that they somewhat lack when they're in their civvies. Same thing for Sentai to me, even though it's just spandex, once the uniform is on I find it believable that they can withstand blows that would kill an average guy. Like that little kid who stole Marvelous' ShinkenRed key and henshin'd, only to get knocked into a building, or even before that in Gekiranger when Jan was turned into a small boy and (picked his nose till it bled) he henshins into Gekired to run past explosives that'd probably leave him hurt. So any type of physique would work out in a Toku show.

This sums it up really well.
