The characters themselves are fine. Marvelous being the smarmy bastard instead of the blue or black ranger is a big chance of pace and brings something new, but when you bring the five together, alone, I just don't feel the same magic as I do for other rangers.

I hear you, and I do agree that the Jetman cast's interactions are better. After all, Jetman is a very, very special series.

But that doesn't change the fact that the Gokaiger cast is still head-and-shoulders above most other sentai teams -- the writers/producers of which seem to favor generic heroes over complex ones. Even shows I think are better than Gokaiger, like Kakuranger and Dairanger, have less interesting heroes than Gokaiger overall. Criticizing the show based on its characters feels very odd to me, especially when so many other sentai shows have such objectively worse casts.

EDIT: I want to make it clear that I don't think Gokaiger is flawless. Its villain cast, aside from Basco, is very weak, and that's a huge problem for me. But I still think Gokaiger is a top-tier Sentai show, and I think it's strange to criticize it for what is, in my eyes, one of its greatest strengths.
