That isn't mentioning the baffling continuity problems, every Ranger Power Set comes with an instruction to 'defend the planet', but there had never been much continuity between seasons beyond throw away cross over films so I never really bothered to try and comprehend how it fit together as a bigger picture because as far as things were concerned, there didn't appear to be a bigger picture.
But now Gokaiger is smashing EVERYTHING into the same universe it gets really confusing, how can so many polar opposite forces all be functioning in the same reality? And what have things, like say the Power Animals, been doing all this time if they've still been around the whole time? You could say I am overthinking it, and maybe, but we don't let this shit fly for Super Megaforce so I refuse to let it fly for Gokaiger, even if it is the better show overall.
My favorite fan explanation for Super Sentai continuity is that every series takes place in its own universe. EXCEPT for the VERSUS movies, which all take place in a universe where every Super Sentai team existed on the same Earth. And that VERSUS universe is where Gokaiger takes place.
The truth is, the Super Sentai production team gives zero fucks about continuity (hence each Dino Sentai team having a different reason for the extinction of the dinosaurs). I think that's what's managed to keep the franchise relatively fresh over the years. Had they been focused on continuity, Sentai would be joyless and fan-minutia-oriented. It would collapse under its own impenetrable weight, much like how the DC and Marvel universes have done.
Which works for me because I think overly intricate continuity between more than a few properties is anathema to good storytelling.
