Can I just say that this show would be a lot more enjoyable without the forced Sentai-tropes? I mean, the setup itself was nice, let Leo and Sela fight, let us learn more about why these two don't get along well. But the Deathgaliens or whatever they’re called are so pointless it’s ridiculous.

And the fights themselves are rather boring too. The one in the first episode was the best, after that it’s just "meh". Not bad but not great either.

I’m not saying they should drop the MOTW-format altogether, but the always recurring tropes are so boring. It’s always "Monster shows up, gets some kind of edge over the protagonists, they find out the weakness of the enemy, defeat it, then

Monster grows big, call the cube animals, combine, beat the enemy in a lame ass way".

It’s so boring. I like the characters, I really do, and I think the humor is on point too, but the always recurring Sentai tropes are so bad. Just cut that shit away and do something new for once. And no, I don’t accept the "They need to showcase toys"-aspect, you can think of new ways to use a combining robot in the story.

I think part of my problem is that it’s always done the same way. If you would have cheating Deathgaliens or some who glitch themselves continues so that the whole pointless scene with Naria is gone maybe it would be more enjoyable. Or just don’t give every freaking pawn a continue. If they can’t beat the heroes the first time, why even bother wasting a coin on that guy?

And instead of making the mechs existence solely limited to fighting grown bad guys, create threats only the mecha can deal with without recycling the MOTW. It’s not that hard.

Maybe that’s just me with my dislike for the ever recurring tropes, maybe that’s what Japan wants to see, but I think Sentai needs to do something new with their format. You can even keep all your tropes but please use them better. I won’t even complain about the role calls, that’s a thing I can get behind and it doesn’t eat up much time. But recycling the same basic format for every monster every week? No, that needs to stop.

Other than that I think the show is good, I like it. Characters are nice, feels much more like a group and not just Red & friends, and the setups for the characters are good. I keep watching, but if they keep it up with the same MOTW-bullshit I might drop the show sooner than later.

And yes, I'm very well aware that we are only 4 episodes in and they can make a miraculous turn with the concept, but come on, do you seriously expect it to happen? I don't.

Considering the fight was pretty even until Leo faked out again I'm not sure if Leo is that much stronger. And even if he wins, Sela will be happier with a bloody nose than getting handled the win just because she’s a girl.
