You said the Magiranger act like have they have no brains, except just like in pretty every Sentai of that era, there's only two "dumb" characters. It's not different than Megaranger or Dekaranger, two show that you mentionned in your post. And i don't see how a talking plant is more goofy than a bunch of talking cars with big eyes coming from another dimension, especially when it make sense in Magiranger. You found a lot of talking fings in magical story. Not a lot of talking cars in a story about car.

Makito and Tsubasa as well were kind of "brainless", Makito had his moments here and there but he was a big goof as well(I'm not going to get on his case because I liked him), and on paper Tsubasa was fine but his actor portrayed him such that he felt pretty lifeless.

And even if Kenta, Miku, Ban and Umeko acted pretty immature at times, in their series they actually felt like they grew and rounded out from their initial dumb personalities. We see that Megaranger helps Kenta and Miku become more focused and better students, Ban literally goes from a teambuilding killer to one who brings the team together in a tough time(SWAT episodes), and we see Umeko's actual intelligence help out in situations through out the show(the dream episode), more individual personality quirks between these "dumb" characters are brought out as the show goes on. Kai and Houka, for me at least kind of stayed like idiots through out; Kai didn't do anything for me to think that he was capable as a Red(I think he would've been better off as Green or Yellow to be honest) plus he was pretty annoying and they decided they wanted to develop on the "cute" aspects of Houka instead of how she impacts and helps people(as shown in the wedding episode).

And for my feelings on Magi being more goofy than Go-On, it's also a lot of what I observed in both shows. Go-On's concept is "weirder" than Magi's and both are goofy, but Go-On seems to go more with the flow and is more "self-aware", like Abaranger, another goofy show that knows how to work itself. Magi I felt tried too hard to mix on the epic tone and the comedic tone, which didn't do much for me and it felt jumbled.

Listen, I think this has gotten pretty off topic so I think it's better if we just leave it as is and believe in what ever points we believe in the show.
