Aging tends to make us nostalgic, sometimles bitter. A lot of people prefer the sentais of the 80-90's, as wel as a lot of gamerw il prefer oldest video games. However, are they completely wrong, or is there something that actually makes older sentais better?
Most of times, complaints are about stories having gone too light, and then people will explain that super sentais are intended for kids and must show light because we experience hard times(economical crisis,terrorism,etc)
However, a lot of fairy tales are actually as dark as oldest super sentais, and even much more. After all there are stories of cannibalism, men killing their wives, crualty....Some sentais were actually violent, not because of blood, well not only, but also because they talked about important themes.
Villains used to be worthy of being remmbered, and had a past, a story that made you remember them.Who will remember the main villains from gokaiger in ten years?
Then comes the ide of sales. Some disliked sentais have had wonderful sales, while sentais with good stories ha dpoor ones; but that doesnt depend only on the quality of the show: it depends on the marketting, the economical context, what is trendy or not at the moment....
Then, there is the "modern actors are much better globally". I have no particular opinion about this.I preferred when whos featured young adults rather than teenagers, or 30's year people.
