This is hilarious to me, but...

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.

I generally disagree here. I think a lack of continuity could bring just as many problems as having a shared universe, especially when crossovers are concerned. That and I think continuity can be fun. Aside form the X-Men. They're the only thing that can be stuck in their own universe really.
