Why did they have to kill the monsters in each episode? Why did they not simply refocus the show to center around the Monsters of the Day, who were always more charming and beautiful than the protagonists?
Sailor Moon Monsters of the Day
Even some of the more legitimately terrifying ones with ghoul faces such as the first MOTW?
They were just aping Sentai/Kamen Rider.
No not them. Jadeite got all the ugly hags
They didn't have to though. They should have let the monster of the day win one week and then made the rest of the show focus them. I think a show that focused on a new beautiful monster lady each week would be far more successful.
As a ryonafag, I wish that there were more shows that did this. All of the others that follow that formula turn them into hideous monsters before killing them or do comedy defeats.
My question is how did fielding a team of five glass cannons work for as long as it did?
god those girls there were so hot. they need more fanart.
Because Kamen Rider hadn't developed the two episode arc structure for MOTW series to copy yet.
That did what? Have hot monsters?
