Why does any show come up with new things to give their characters?
To sell toys. Why does Optimus Prime need a supermode in every new Transformers series?
To sell toys. Why create Spirit Rangers to go with three existing Zords?
To. Sell. Toys. You're watching a toy commercial with character development. You're going to see new
TOYS being promoted so that the next series has a bigger budget.
V-Lancers introduced?
TOY ON THE SHELF IN A MONTH!! Titanium Ranger introduced?
NEW TOY ON THE SHELF! Max Shuttlezord? You got it!
New Toy! Omegamax Megazord? New Toy! LifeForce Megazord? Repaint of existing TOY THAT GIVES BANDAI A LICENSE TO PRINT MONEY.
Literally everything on the screen in Power Rangers, Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Pokemon, Digimon, Sailor Moon, Transformers, GI Joe, Spider-Man, whatever, is just a 25 minute to 140 minute
toy commercial.They gave Carter, a certified badass who has no problem standing toe-to-toe with Martial Arts experts (in universe) like Tommy or Eric or whoever else, a new look strictly to sell toys. Ain't nothin' deeper then that.
