I believe Zordon stated never to escalate a battle unless the enemy did first. Of course we also have to look at how the Sentai footage wills it.

It was also funny as the monster typically had a better advantage while their standard height and did far worse in battle after they had grown.

Because that way he didn't have to pay what are essentially interns. Zordon was looking for free labor. Cheap, expendable, easy to replace.

I wish there were more episodes where the Rangers defeated the monster as normal or had the individual Zords show what they can do before coming together.

I believe all the big fights were rips from the japanese sentai fighter show.

So the editors got lazy.

Also, apparently they are adults in that show and it has a real story that explains why there is robot dinosuars.
Haim Saban bought them and stripped it to be fed to 90s teens as brainless as possible.

The answer was given in the comics, I think. He did originally recruit a team of trained professionals, mercenaries or something, but they didn't get along, and eventually it ended up getting them killed. After that, he decided to go with a team that were already friends because he could train them to fight, but he couldn't force a team to cooperate.

Well, I do know that in Choujin Sentai Jetman, the team was going to be replaced by the military but something similar happened

also, the team was originally going to be trained professionals but the "birdonic waves" ended up hitting random schmucks.
and they *didn't* get along well at all in the beginning

Lack of materials? Finster had to make every single monster and Putty individually. In the first episode you see him put in a full tray of Putties. Later on they farmed the super putty clay. I assume they would have to do something similar with the standard clay. This changed with Lord Zedd's arrival as he could simply use his magic to create all his Putties and monsters making Finster obsolete. However there have been a couple of episodes that featured multiple monsters fighting the Rangers, and they all failed.

Jetman was amazing with this.

Both the Jetman and the Vyram were constantly bitching among their ranks, but the Vyram were next-level petty. The Jetman would always learn to put aside their differences, at least for a while, to fight evil. While the Vyram could have killed the Jetman like ten different times, but were constantly sabotaging each other lol.

seriously anyone in this topic go watch Jetman. That shit is free on Tubi lol

"They know to only use their weapons for defense" implies they won't escalate the fight themselves.

Where's my PR/Sentai show that espouses the danger of escalation and just violence in general, where's my Kuuga spiritual successor godammit

IIRC there were some episodes though where Finster was trying to decide on a monster and there was a bunch of premade monsters all lined up on a shelf. Why not send them all down?

Maybe one monster of the week that the town could handle itself would keep the rest of the world less interested, whereas sending everyone would trigger the whole world to come help this monster problem.

Well in this case the pre-made ones were for decoration and had no costumed counterpart, but you're right he very well could have.

Finster's creations were always so interesting to me. With a couple of exceptions every other monster Rita sent down was simply a clay copy of a mythical creature showcased in that book she had.
