Why is continuity so important?

*sigh!* Great, now I am starting to feel even more of an idiot because of the fact that I don't even know if any of the writers or the show producers even care about wanting to make continuity in Power Rangers so important or not. Simply because of what I said before, many of us take continuity and consistency in this franchise very seriously and that we wanted everything to be apart of one single universe. Instead of this "expanded multiverse" or whatever. But, honestly, at this point...I just don't know what is even cannon and what isn't cannon in Power Rangers or what's even real or not, or if any of the characters from the past seasons of Power Rangers are actually in-character in their brief appearances of the Neo-Saban era or if they're just acting out-of-character because of how toned down they came out as, since Super Megaforce. And it just really worries me because if this is how Saban Brands is treating the legacy of Power Rangers, nowadays. By not keeping the past characters as they once were in their seasons, but a bit more mature and more experienced, and just immediately watering down their personalities for no reason,then I don't want to support this new route for the franchise. It's just like how Book 2 of the Legend of Korra ended, with the main villains from that season killing off Rava and severing Korra's connections to her past incarnations. That's like a big middle finger to anyone who actually wants to acknowledge that the past does matter and why it's important to know about it. I don't want to ignore the past, I want to remember and embrace it as a part of my personal history as well as it being a part of future generations' lives as well and how it's important for them to know about the history behind their predecessors. That's why I will never look at that season the same way again.

But here, I just don't know what is even happening in the main Power Rangers universe, continuity-wise after Jungle Fury ended. I mean, does the Neo-Saban era seasons even want to be a saperate continuity or not?! Because I know that we're gonna have yet another forced anniversary team-up in Super Ninja Steel where they tried to act like the past does matter, but they're just bringing back these "old" Power Rangers actors just to shut up the nostalgic fans about wanting a more "perfect" anniversary team-up since the last one was such a huge disappointment (Super Megaforce's Legendary Battle). But what I am more concerned about is this, regardless of who is being selected to return as part of the "veteran" rosters of the team-up, are the Ninja Steel rangers even gonna be aware of the fact that there are more teams of Power Rangers that existed way before them, like in "Once A Ranger", or is it gonna be like how it was in "Mega Mission" of Megaforce with Emma asking about "what this ranger deal is", even thouh, she should've already known that Power Rangers do exist if Megaforce/Super Megaforce is even a part of the main Power Rangers universe?!
