For nostalgia, I'd love to see filming return to Valencia. But it just isn't realistic. Production is cheaper in NZ. It makes far more sense to shoot there. It also allows them to produce a higher quality show. Since they'd have to cut the budget to shoot in the states. We are getting 40 episodes, so shooting in NZ is important. As long as the writing and acting is good...It doesn't matter where they film. NZ is actually a great place to shoot anyway. It is a good move by Saban Brands to keep production there.

yes it did and still does disappoint me not just because of nostalgia but also because it would've been that much easier to get more actors to return for the pointless and waste-of-space Legendary Battle but I do agree that it makes far more sense for them to film there and yes while we are technically getting 40 episodes we're actually getting them spread over 2 years.
Also to reply to another user it's not the actor's choice on whether they speak with their natural accent or not that is up to the Bosses in charge of the show. I highly doubt New Zealand has a huge supply of actors who can do convincing American accents without ever slipping and the ones who would be skilled at that would be the voice actors who are only there to do voices and not screen roles that and they probably aren't interested in a screen role.
Something else to add is that a business is not going to deny someone from being on the show just because their American accent isn't good that would be an inappropriate suggestion for a business to do.
