Yeah, there's a reason that Trigger is probably still the most contentious New Gen Ultra show. I say this even as someone who still managed to enjoy Trigger by the end of it, but I feel the biggest root issue of Trigger is that it doesn't feel like it has a strong creative vision behind it. Every other New Gen show feels like the direct result of the production teams specific intent. Even if they got hampered in some way, they all still at least felt like they came out the way its creatives intended. Trigger however doesn't feel like that, it doesn't feel the result of anyone's specific vision. This is a feeling that's all the more backed up by various statements made after the show, wherein the production shared that they had various different ideas on how Trigger was going to homage Tiga, most notably one where the show would have been about 3 separate protagnists who each transformed into one of the forms of Trigger. However for one reason or another, whether it was higher up demands or the show being filmed during the height of Covid, the show was then made to become more Tiga-like and I feel the end result is pretty evident of those production issues.
