Now they need to start, if not from scratch, then at least from ruins. But isn't this always associated with the risk of losing money?

Because the current crop of execs and more importantly, shareholders don't like risk. Risk means you could lose money, sometimes a little, oftentimes a lot given current production costs. It also means time and resources that could've been better applied to a surefire hit.

And that's how we got The Flash and Morbius while Batwoman got written off for taxes. These companies no longer exist in the same reality as the rest of us because the people at the top are so utterly detached from what they're actually supposed to be doing and making. All that matters is that Line Go Up.

And Power Rangers wasn't making Line Go Up enough when it was being produced for pennies on the dollar, so by that reasoning, why on earth would they ever spend more on it?
