OH, and the music of some of the series (like MF) is down right dreadful.

The rangers in Saban's era had to rely on their skills to defeat the bad guys. Astronema and Zedd put those Disney ones to shame in both looks and seriousness (honestly, Mezogog is the only Disney villain I felt was an actual threat). The music fit the show and they were not trying to pull off Matrix styled effects.

I'm not a big fan of civilian powers either, they cause more problems than they solve but I will say I think they fit in pretty well in Ninja Storm.

I also think Disney did a great job making original villains and integrating them into their shows. Although Lothor sucked. Plus I love that unlike Saban, they actually spent money on their seasons to get casts who could act, writers who could write and shoot enough new footage to really make their seasons their own. Even when sticking pretty close to the core themes of the sentai.
