It's also important to note that, in America, if things aren't "cool" then they are "lame", especially when it comes to little kid politics. Like, a kid loves Thomas, but then he and his pals graduate to Power Rangers. He cannot continue to like Thomas - he must move on from that or risk being ostracized by his Power Ranger loving peers. They go to a mutual friend's house and this poor sap still has Thomas toys - he will be mocked because Thomas is "little kid shit", unlike Power Rangers which is "fuckin' awesome, bro!". Having a million nephews and nieces, I've seen this scenario a few times with different stuff over the years.

Also, Americans have a really low threshold for anything "weird". ToQger is very weird because we don't have a bullet train system so a Power Traingers show seems absurd. Our trains aren't "cool", they're like mules.

Mules are lame.
