Once I have a baseline, I'm sure my professor would be fine with me getting a broader article or 2 to use in the actual papers.

And if i'm proud of it, perhaps my professor may just let me actually send it to Hasbro (but I wouldn't count on it, even if I were that proud of it).

So, the goal of this thread is a launchpad that once I know the direction I'm going can be locked (which should be in about 2 weeks time).

You could compare the diversity of Power Rangers to the diversity (or lack thereof) of Super Sentai, and discuss the issues such as cultural differences, the demand for representation, and the likelihood of having a diverse cast within the demographics of a given population.
