You technically get more direct performances this way, but it really doesn't feel like the same characters anymore.

Yeah, it's rough to see the New Villains spend an episode running around and destroying the old villains. As a statement, it's a pretty emphatic dig against the previous creative team in as bold a way as you can. It's... not a great look. I think there's some more juice in the new guys, but them one-shotting all of the previous lieutenants? Tacky. Tacky move by Inoue.
