I was behind Rita's new look, but this just makes them all too similar (I don't give a crap if their suits may come from the same alien compound or what have you, I still think they're ill fitting). What I think works aesthetically in Super Sentai, as well as Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and other tokusatsu series which are the real inspiration behind all of this, is the contrast of designs between heroes and villains. The suits of heroes are typically more refined, easier on the eyes. The villains (kaijin) by contrast are akin to traditional kaiju–rugged, cornucopias of texture. If they want to create tokusatsu for a more mature audience, something Americans can appreciate, why not revisit a tokustatsu that was made for a more mature audience to begin with? These Power Rangers sport "an alien costume that grows on them, that’s not man-made." That sounds awfully familiar...
