A parody doesn't have to be a comedy nor does it have to lean on the 4th wall, which I feel is something that's lost. Carranger could've taken the common aspects and tropes Sentai uses without putting them to comedic effect.

This. An example is the original Ninja Turtles comic. It was taking the ninjas in New York plots of Daredevil and the mutant teams of X-Men. It was taking the absurdist nature of super hero comics to an extreme while playing it completely straight. That is a form of parody.

This sounds like a question for the power rangers general questions thread.

And I think only in a crossover. I don't know what KR has to gain by bringing over sentai. I think that toy sales are double of what sentai does and the ratings are better. Whatever they are doing is working
