I was with you on hating Magiranger until you went to this nonsense again. Why is a woman only worth something if she does "man stuff"? And why is promoting the "ideal" so horrible? God forbid societies want to teach their children something.
I didn't say that characters need to do "man stuff." I said that they should have lives and interests outside of the home. (Even the most devoted of wives or mothers usually have some kind of hobby or activity to do that does not involve their family.) ShinkenPink, for instance, while not my favourite character, had lived independently and had interests unrelated to her goal of becoming a housewife. White Swan got married at the end of the series, but she ran a business and had a life of her own. However, Miyuki and Urara are never given an interest in anything other than motherhood and taking care of the home. The show also contains basically no examples of a woman who
doesn't want to marry and have kids; Makito's girlfriend runs a restaurant, but it's suggested she'll eventually quit to marry him. Houka is an idol, but says that she wants to marry a rich guy and give up work. Ideally, a show would give its female characters different ambitions in life, not "they all want to get married" or "they all want to be CEOs", just as the guys get.
Also, there's a difference between a show that teaches, vs a show that feels like propaganda to encourage kids to do what the state wants. I would react the same way to, for instance, a Sentai that was very heavy on environmentalism and had the Rangers promote recycling and so on.
Neither did any of the family Sentais, actually. So your point is null and void.
The absence of one or both parents drove the show's drama, but the heroes had still grown up in a nice neat nuclear family unit with a large number of siblings (and in Magiranger, even though Isamu had been absent for so long, he was still very much a presence in the home: the kids knew about him and talked about him and there were pictures of him prominently displayed in the house, etc.) In the '80s or '90s (with heroes born around 18-25 years previously, when the birth rate wasn't so low), five siblings would be a bit more common. Magiranger was just "Miyuki is the perfect mother so of course she has a large number of children!" Ninninger is closer to modern Japan where most people have fewer children. I think Sentai should move with the times and not encourage kids to regress to the past.
Either way, I still think Magiranger is a horrid show, and don't see why it needs a reunion special. (I don't particularly want to see Boukenger 10 Years Later either, but if this one does well enough, we will probably get it)
