And PR survived because it has remained a consistent stream of revenue for over two decades.

I never said that Sentai was "some high work of Japanese art that saban butchered". I just said that Power Rangers rely on it.
Here's the point. Most of the suits, props, pyrotechnics, CGI and whatever else has already been made and filmed before hand. All Disney/Saban ever had to do (in theory) is cut out the scenes lacking extensive SFX, so they could film non-union actors on New Zealand in it's place.
Of course you're always going to turn a profit with corner cutting like that.
