The same may not be as true now that there's a few years between. So Mystic Force stuff could be more open now. Same to other past stuff. We don't see them in the shows later because very few new series tread on past material at all, leaving most self-contained.

Comics are also mostly confined by what is in the show, since that's the audience they are trying to draw in and that's the established lore. But if it'd sell, they'd likely expand the line more. But for right now, that's still debatable on how much it'd sell or split the current readership. Something they may look into later near the anniversary and whatever a bigger than normal anniversary series could be like or whatever they do for that.

This is also why we don't see the Kyu suits in the comic either during Shattered Grid. It hasn't been adapted yet, so there's no material to draw from to include it as yet. Same to others. But those series are still open for usage in later seasons of PR.

So comics don't use it mostly because of the fact the shows didn't use it. Which makes it "non-existent" in the PR library as yet. If a show uses it and establishes it, then it can be used. Unless they start mixing elements of new material/conversions from the comics to the shows. It's not so much that the comics don't have access to it, and more it's a delicate balance because of the ever growing/changing nature of the franchise.

I think he was talking about them not being able to use the 2017 Power Rangers movie versions of the Rangers for whatever reason and not Sentai movies.
