I want to have fun, and I want to see people beat up monsters in an over-the-top fashion. That's what draws me to shows like PR, SS, and KR so much. Because they're so over-the-top, that you can't help but be pumped.

I don't see anyone being "serious" either. It's perfectly acceptable for people to compare one series to another, even if the genre is the same. There are things that people will take from a show, and carry it over because it had some impact on them. Good, bad. Doesn't matter, that impact will be there.

Stories will change, even the recipe dynamic will change (Pleather for Go-Busters, no belts for Gekiranger) that people point out and take with them. Some people don't care about those things, but Sentai, Riders and Rangers will always have the same basic formula: don suits and beat up rubber monsters. But there's a reason why this has existed over 35 years, and it's not that basic formula as to why. It has to continue to keep that basic recipe while adding different flavors to it, via themes, storylines, even barebones things like dynamic openings and real time henshins. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes, it doesn't. But the idea is to try to get as many people as to enjoy the series, based on individual tastes.

And honestly, I like all the shows I've seen so far. Each one has its own uniqueness, even if it's using an old theme, like dinosaurs. And honestly, Kyoryuger has a LOT of potential to be amazingly awesome and extraordinarily hilarious. I was PUMPED UP when I saw the first fight scene, and I love how they dance when they transform. That's VERY different from past shows where they just stood still or ran while transforming. I'm excited for the next episode, because it looks like it'll be just as awesome.

But see, here's the draw for me. You suggest we should have fun and just let our minds go, and that's perfectly fine... but then you say Dinosaurs it's an old theme. What defines old though? That it's been done before? Because Abaranger aired a decade ago. That's enough time for at least two generations of new sentai watchers to come in, just in the target demograph alone. So we have fun, but dinos are "old", yet it's a great cushion when a season doesn't do well. Kids love dinos. It's timeless.

Also, recall that it's perfectly fine to have an opinion and to discuss it. I think the mecha look ridiculous, the dancing is... while fun, not something I'd do before I was charged with saving the world. Yeah, it's for kids and I get that. But regardless, I'm still having fun, even while discussing what I'm not exactly a fan of on a forum. After all, if everyone had the same idea and opinions, what's the point of having a forum?
