Maybe Once and Always was the blueprint for what they should do? I don't actually know. "Praise" is nice and all (the comics supposedly have this too) but that doesn't translate into viewers or sales. If PR had either they'd have a new tv show or toyline.

The point is not that these things sell amazing well *in general* but rather that they do well with both the fanbase and their intended audiences.

Is Power Rangers ever gonna top the average MCU film? No. But it still has alot of staying power in plenty of circles. Most importantly the target audience of young kids. With every season having got high ratings on Netflix ever since that deal was made. Cosmic Fury included.

And again, "The Return" met its goal in less than an hour. Whether or not it sold better than something like, say, Chainsaw Man is irrelevant. It's the fact of the matter that it sold well at all.
