Okay, elaborate on what is more clever? You are saying they should have done something more clever but then fail to come up with what you would have had them done.

We're back to the whole Green Lantern movie race track argument. People say that was stupid and could think of something better, but when asked, just say, "well I could do better."

I can't accurately compare the series because I haven't watched Deka or Shinkenger. But wasn't there a female Shinken-Red? Pretty sure that alone is means more happened in Shinkenger than all of Gokaiger.

So having a female red ranger manes something happened? Actually, you are right, that was big in Shinkenger. So big that it was the only thing that happened in Shinkenger. I really wish Shinkenger was better, but unlike Gokaiger, Shinkenger did not live up to its self. Gokaiger was about the search for the grand powers from the start and that is what we got. Shinkenger just did the routine just to do the routine until the last 6 episodes of the show.

And yes, you are right, Gokaiger was fanwank, which was the point of the show. That is why it was made for its anniversary and that is what they said it would be from the get go. If you expected different, then that is your fault.

But it's ending was on par with Double's in terms of terribleness and it doesn't quite deserve all the praise it gets.

I cannot comment on Double's ending since I have not watched the show yet, but look back at the last several series' endings. Maybe Double's ending being considered great has to do with how lackluster several of the past series' endings were. Honestly, if the Japanese do not know how to write something, it is a truly good ending. When it comes to Japanese endings, you have to lower the standards based on what has been brought out before.

Take The Dark Knight for example. It is the greatest comic book movie ever made. It is one of the greatest movies ever made. However, there is no way Dark Knight Rises is going to live up to it, so you have to lower your expectations of it. It is going to be an incredible movie, this year's best movie (or nothing lower than 2nd best), but it is NOT going to be TDK.
