See, that's another thing. I don't think alot of people actually remember what MMPR was like, because if you try to do a direct comparison to MMPR and, say, Samurai, they're way different. They have some similarities, sure, but the two shows have entirely different goals and structure(and even tone when it comes to Super Samurai). It'd be like saying Shinkenger was trying to be like MMPR.

I couldn't stand the 2017 movie. They expected you super care about every character from second 1, and the pacing was atrocious to say the least. I'll never get over how Kim's' haircut is framed like a super huge moment we're supposed to care about, and yet we only knew that version of Kim for like, 3 minutes.

It gave an attempt at modernising Power Rangers rather than relying too much on the 90s, and... granted, yes, it took that too far and drove off the cliff; but the likes of Ninja Steel and Beast Morphers don't even start the car.

I know I'm like the only one here who likes it, but defending season 1 of Ninja Steel is a hill I will die on. It's not one of my favorite PR shows by any means, but they showed legitimate improvement over the past few seasons in alot of ways.

For example, the scene where Brody and Levi discover who Levi really is is really well done. Sure, the twist itself is obvious, but the way it was carried was fantastic.

Compare to say, Tyler's' relationship with his dad in Dino Charge, wherein not only is the twist obvious and not given much fanfare, but Tyler's' dad proves himself to be an out and out terrible father afterward, making me wish he'd just stayed gone.
