How....DARE you suggest such a thing! You make it sound like this was always a children's franchise or something!

Here's one that's been bugging me for a long while:

Older Sentai series are not actually more serious or mature than Modern Sentai.

They're just childish in different ways.

Sorry gonna have to call you on this one. JAKQ is much more serious than ANY other sentai.

When I first saw Flashman I was struck by how, emotionally, the characters were just overgrown ten-year-olds.

I don't think Flashman is any worse of a show for that. I actually think the tricks it uses to make little kids identify with adult characters are quite clever.

Hibiki is the finest example of how polarized the toku fandom is, some want action, epic plotlines and focus on the rider, others want depth and character development :anime:

To be fair Hibiki in no way lacked fight scenes more then say Faiz or Kiva. I guess some people just don't like the idea of having to beat on a monster like a drum.

Tsurugi became a massively better character when he went from Tendou redux to kaGAmi

Ratbomb is pretty serious.

I never understood what the big deal was with those "wtf moments" in toku. Most toku is WTF at times.

Yeah, but there's WTF and then there's "WTF what the hell did I just see."

What do you see the Go-Onger cast as then?

Including that Big One guy who could give ShinkenGold a run for his money in terms of wacky comedy relief moments and rubber facing?
