Please. Tell me how my argument is "asinine." I think it's pretty well reasoned, but I may be biased. What part do you think is so stupid? Do you disagree that people should watch Sentai on its own terms? Do you disagree that the vast majority (the majority, not all) of Sentai shows are pretty similar in quality, and what little variation exists is exaggerated by fandom? I mean, disagree all you want, but I'm sincerely failing to grasp why anyone would find any of these positions outright foolish. I think they're pretty defensible.

Don't get me wrong, I fucking love Sentai. It's one of my favorite things in the world, as you've probably already gleaned. But even I can recognize that every single season, of the 19 I've watched in full, is deeply flawed. And it's very easy to pick each season apart on a technical level if you're not fully on board with it.

Just the general notion you put out.
"Sentai isn't objectively good, thus, no Sentai is worse than any other."

Like, for example, I passionately hate Magiranger. But do I think it's objectively worse than any other Sentai show? No, I just have an intensely negative emotional reaction to the entire cast. Similarly, I love Zyuohger -- is that because the show is better than most other Sentai? Emphatically no

I feel it's an asinine statement. Your caveat at the end of the post basically says the only way a series can be seen as better or worse is solely on film work and production levels.

Objectivity is a difficult matter to touch down on, but your phrasing makes it come off as coming up with a quantifiable list of why X or Y series in specific is bad is a worthless effort because the franchise as a whole is subpar and the series are too similar to really make it worth it.
