Its more Yamato =/= Marvelous rather than Yamato > Marvelous.

I disagree. Marvelous has plenty of characterization, but the key problem is that it's never truly expressed. His relationship to his team never changed. His relationship to Basco never changed. His overall attitude never changed. We always knew that he was a good man with a good heart that hid behind his words of "We're just pirates, not heroes" because his actions always showed it, even early on.

Marvelous is fine as a character, but he never goes from A to B in terms of characterization. The Gokaigers are all just static. Nothing wrong with them as characters as they are fun characters, but they don't really grow or change.
