              America doesn't even have original characters in the capeshit genre.
              It's always the same recycled names from 100 years ago. You can make a ranking like this https://gamerant.com/best-strongest-shonen-anime-protagonists with battle shonen protagonists and update it as more and more series come out but with capeshit it's always the same 2-3 names.

          And everything that’s come out since 2003 is derivative trash, your point?

            Aren't you a bitter loser lol. The only derivative trash ITT is recycled capeshit, which is all you can produce.

        Do you know how many new sentai series are created with new characters every year?

          About as many forgettable new American capes. It doesn't matter. Only the established names matter. It's why they keep reinventing Power Ranger/Ultraman/Kamen Rider and not who-gives-a-frick toku man.

      Every anime is telling the same tired story. The character archetypes are the same, the magic system structure is the same, the jokes are the same, the resolutions are the same, sometimes even the fricking designs are copy-pasted like with hackro mashima. Slapping new names on it is not original.

        Congrats for crafting a statement so reductionist that it contributes absolutely nothing to this bait thread, anon. Cause frankly, one could replace "anime" with "cape comic", "movie", or "fairy tale" and nobody'd know the difference.

    That Power Rangers makes more bank than Super Sentai is proof that Japs suck at making things. They need Uncle Sam to rescue their dying IPs. Imagine being reduced to a stock footage workshop on the international level! How embarassing!

        It doesn't matter if it's truth or bullshit, it's the fact that it has nothing to do with the OP.
        Cinemaphile is unable to sidestep anything. That's why East vs West threads keep getting made.

    Airboy probably has the best track record for modern reinvention.
