Ffs I went back to watch older seasons to see if I still love the franchise, and in Space reignited that love.

There is definitely still some love for Power Rangers here, but the strain of having to deal with the absurdities of the Neo-Saban Era, fan theories, Saban being Saban, Nick being Nick, and a glut of Mighty Morphin' here and there tends to put a strain on everyone and everything!

There are also some tokusatsu fans who prefer Super Sentai over Power Rangers. More a personal preference issue there.

It's the Comics that seem to being doing the most good for the franchise right now, as BOOM! clearly has their head in the game, even if they are in fact contributing to that glut of Mighty Morphin'!

The toys are another detail to consider, as the Lightning Collection is Hasbro's best material for the franchise so far. The Beast Morphers toys are suffering from distribution issues and many aren't as good as we were hoping they would be. We aren't getting Transformers-level quality here, and it shows. When it was originally announced that Hasbro would be doing the toys for a Go-Busters Adaptation in 2018, there were many who were ecstatic cause we thought that Hasbro's engineering with Transformers would translate to good toys, but the final result is leaving us a little bummed. They aren't devoting enough to the franchise yet, though it is possible that the franchise hasn't turned a profit for Hasbro yet either to justify a larger investment.

There is also some concern with the fact that Hasbro will be adapting Ryusoulger, another Dino Team, as opposed to something like Kyuranger, a Space Team. The LEGO-like construction for Ryusoulger Dinos don't help inspire a lot of confidence regarding toys. That being said, the Ryusoulger Adaptation has the potential to have a more evident Hasbro imprint than Beast Morphers has shown!

Another aspect that has long plagued the franchise is whether the Power Rangers Adaptation should be a copy-and-paste of the Sentai it's based-off of or whether it should take liberties and add more P. R. elements not derived from the source material! It remains to be seen what Hasbro will ultimately decide to do on that front.

As it stands, those who do want to see the franchise succeed are gonna have to be a little patient and find the love and things to love when and where they can. Some in the fandom are feeling a strain and wonder how things will get better, assuming that the possibility still exists. I don't see the franchise ending in entirety just yet. Every time it looks like we have seen the last, something changes and keeps it going. Personally, I intend to keep going for better or worse. One day this might get a little better.
