And that's fair enough. In my experience in high school, I was friends with a guy exactly like Ethan and Connor, so I felt they were decent representations of teens, but that may have just been an isolated incident.
MMPR's depiction of teens was horrid. They were less depictions of teens, and more depictions of goody goods from PSAs who would never touch a drug or do anything bad ever.

Rewatching Power Rangers as an adult, critically, to me it feels like Disney never truly understood what they wanted Power Rangers to be and as such they tried to constantly recreate Mighty Morphin's success and when that failed they seemed to just directly lift sentai plots.

And although a lot of the later Disney stuff in my mind was awesome, it's clear with shows like Dino Thunder just how much Disney were struggling, they seemed to always focus on the wrong thing in that series and by pretty much the second half the show was just a fucking mess.

I've met people like Ethan and Connor also, but none of them have ever been that one dimensional, ever. But yeah the MMPR teens really did belong in like an anti-pot PSA from the 40s.
