But that doesn't change that a show like Gokaiger is the perfect way to wrap up, and perhaps make sense, of a franchise with no regard for continuity. It didn't need to make it under the banner of some master plan, but even as someone who isn't that into sentai, I'm shocked by the general lack of resolution or any real attempt at cohesion when doing the tribute episodes.
I think you'll find that I never refer to sentai as a 'mature, intelligent masterpiece'. I have no delusions about Sentai ( Or Rider) being anything than half hour toy commercials aimed at kids ages 3 and up. I do think than Sentai puts in more effort and is less plauged by attempts to avoid offending 'moral guardians' then North American produced shows such as Power Rangers, but it is by no means high art.
And I agree that Gokaiger could have been used to try and create a logical combined universe, but chances are no one on the production team wanted to do that. Like I said, it's not worth the time and effort for the show's staff.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'resolution', though. The past Sentais got their resolution in their own series. The tribute episodes are a combined 'where are they now?' and giving the new guys a helping hand/teaching them a lesson. They were never supposed to be a signifigant plot add-on to the series they are tributing.
