That said, I think there's something to be said about preferring low-stakes stories to high-stakes stories (personally, I think they both have their merits). The great thing about Super Sentai is that because it's rebooted every season, you don't actually have to choose!

As I mentioned early in this discussion, I'm fully aware that a Sentai can have both good characters and a good story. There are just some Sentai that clearly care more about one then the other. I'm also aware that we don't have to choose one or the other but even so, there are still people who prefer one over the other and there are certain things that work better in one type of story then the other.
