And the heroes deciding to refuse an easy way out or a big advantage because they deem the price to be too high is just as classic a cliche. The Gokaigers are simply not okay with essentially murdering some 200 people they've come to respect, not even to bring back their own loved ones.

You're expecting them to make a hardcore cynical choice in a very idealistic show.
