I find it hard to believe that Paramount and Hasbro would have changed all of those dates to focus on MASK in the four months since without every trade in Hollywood catching wind of it.

This is correct, however MASK, Action Man and ROM seem to have been fasttracked in all 3 of their places in just the last 8 to 12 weeks.

It doesn't matter if TF is still their number one product line if it didn't live up to their earning projections. And yes, one reason for that is the movies suck, so kids don't care. It's all connected.

True, but sales are sales, and they attribute the movie to a 10% growth in franchise sales. Give this a read: https://investor.hasbro.com/static-f...f-a46f52b62e6e

That annual report actually does explain WHY they bought Power Rangers. They want to make their own franchise products account for more than 49% of revenue, through storytelling, so buying and modifying Power Rangers from decent to excellent helps with that as they have everything ready to go.

So if you're right about Toei not licensing anything beyond Ninninger, that makes me sort of worried about the future of Super Sentai.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Hasbro Studios is more than capable of creating decent animated television series, that reach far beyond their scope. Even their preschool Transformers shows fit into the continuity of their older skewing series, which shows they give a shit.

Genuinely, I trust Hasbro to do a better job with this franchise than Saban Brands and even Disney.
