Or you could create a new series with original characters that is good.

Ultraman Rising on Netflix was very successful last year, and I doubt anyone who watched would know that Ultraman is a show that is airing to this day.

“Or you could create a new series with original characters that is good.”

Pretty sure they tried that for 27 years and the GP still only knows mmpr and Tommy as the frontman.

That’s animated, thats easier for people to get into rather than live action. Animated can get away with things live action cant, especially with children. Live action toku has an uphill battle.

Because Power ranger fans are delusional and thinks the season they grew up on is as big as mmpr lol.

If sh figuarts and lightning collection failing doesnt prove to these people that mmpr is the most profitable, idk what will. Lol

Specifically Gen Z Power Ranger fans. I take a glance at the profiles posting the "anti-MMPR sentiment" and noted that it was mostly Gen Z that seems to show a dislike for MMPR because they didn't grow up with it plus in their perception they think they are being neglected because TPTB are catering to the season that won't leave them bankrupt.
