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.

Honestly, anyone complaining about the designs of the robots and suits seem serious to me. I mean, it's meant for kids. Always been, always will. I've seen a lot of comments about Kyoryuger in other places that it's just head-scratchingly strange on how serious people have taken a kid's show. And yea, it's great to see new ideas and such, but it's annoying when I see people compare it to past series and be angry about how it's not "good", especially when it didn't even premiere until recently. I just hope that all the irrational dislike I've seen dies down.

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?

I honestly thought of "old" as "it's been done before". I've never thought of anything as "timeless", more like "dry periods of interest". And I can respect a person's opinion, as long as it's written with proper grammar, and doesn't resort to calling people names.

It just annoys me whenever I see people complain about a kid's show, no matter what it is. Yea, I'll agree with some points, but honestly, in the long run, I can't change anything, since I'm not the target audience. The only time I'll really complain, is when they're not treating the audience intelligently.
