Marvel doesn't really have any stakes in any shows beyond Spider-Man. While Marvel may have helped produce Battle Fever and Denjiman, they had no hand in Sun Vulcan (It was associated to Marvel by proxy since it was intended to be a sequel to Denjiman), and I think thanks to Toei's contract with Saban, they have more control over those 3 series.

Disney doesn't care about Sentai and Power Rangers, while Marvel doesn't really have any control over the series they helped produce anymore, while Saban has no reason to share with Disney nor act as an in between for Marvel and Toei (Profit share with an unaffiliated company for no real benefit? Saban is a bit too money hungry for that).

Saban would not be spending his time for nothing. If he was "generous", then it would make sense that he would either get an upfront fee for his "efforts" or a cut of whatever finished product would come about. It is true that most don't know Super Sentai, but the inevitable release of Sentai sets by Shout has likely caused an obvious fluctuation in knowledge. Saban also has to answer for the aforementioned ACG usage of VulEagle and the Marvel copyright on the "Marvel-Sentai Three" might require an obligatory cooperation between Saban (who has the rights to Sentai) and Marvel (who has their outdated and barely used mark on the shows) IF those three were ever released by Shout as both have a technical stake in such a deal. If the Marvel copyright was "overruled" by the deal with Saban, then the matter has no conflict. If the copyright is too noticeable and might prompt more questions than answers, then Saban would have to seek Marvel's complicity in order to save face and answer the inevitable "Why?". Even if Saban and Shout have the ability to act on their own, then they should seek Stan Lee's blessing and perhaps even a new short documentary explaining the Marvel relationship.
