That would be progressive but it's never gonna happen. I'd love for Power Rangers to go back to the arc style of stories from MMPR S2/S3, but... blah.

I feel exactly the same way about Power Rangers. I've, for the longest time, questioned why they keep creating these "Power Rangers: Something" series, but there hasn't been a good one since the original. What's always got me is that the children that watch these shows know who "Power Rangers: Forest Clean-Up Patrol" are, but they may not have a fucking clue who the actual Power Rangers are.

A reboot of the series, going back to the original concept of the Power Rangers, including to the original theme song -- I'd watch it.

The thing with that is, Japan already set the standard with changing teams every year. We adopted it since that means we could pick up new kids and pay them dirt cheap for 30+ episodes (+ one cross over special) and call it a day. The thing is, that doesn't mean you can't spread a plot over a long period of time. DinoThunder is a semi-recent one that was actually good at this.

With Transformers, there really wasn't much greatness to return to. I've watched some G1 episodes and they are pretty silly. The big one is the movie but to be honest we can't expect that on a regular basis. It had circumstances attached that helped it show the most iconic moments (Autobot slaughter, death of Prime; not for plot development - they needed to kill the old line and introduce the new toys). Add to that the writers themselves admitted they pulled half the plot out of their ass.

That's what I figured happened with the Power Rangers. They just follow whatever Japan is doing, because it's cheap and easy. It's sad, but that's the way it is, I guess.

Transformers and Beast Wars, to me, were the only two sagas of the universe to really care about.
