Default Re: Why didn't Disney hire Saban?

Usually a showrunner has more of a writing background. But both had more influence creatively than Saban. We know Tzachor had a lot of influence. But this senario did make story editors like Sloan, Lynn, Marachand, and Bhaumik even more important

During the Disney era they had more conventional showrunners. Sloan and Kalish were both from writing backgrounds and credited as Execs. As were Eddie and Judd. The new Saban era went back to Tzachor as a director showrunner but credited as Executive this time. Now that Lynn has joined its back to Disney era style.
yup exactly.

no he wasn't. That's just in yours and Saban Fan's fantasy world. Tell me something if you seriously think he was that involved. How come he had no freaking clue who Karan Ashley (Aisha) was when they were doing something for the first movie? If he was involved as you 2 claimed then he would've known who she was but he didn't.

Two biggest creative influences Saban had with this show were deciding to license Super Sentai Footage ckmbine it with American Civilian Scenes to make Power Rangers...And the fact he oversaw things a bit more in season 1, mainly reviewing scripts and stuff. But beyond that he was very much just the business guy. Saban was more of a programming guy in the Saban Entertainment era. Now he is mainly an owner or the brand.
Not quite "mostly fact" it is fact there's nothing "mostly" about it in fact it's 100% fact but yes that's pretty much correct although we don't know if he was reviewing things back in the first season he didn't even have a clue how to writer the show how he knew was that he wanted to bring the show over but replace the Japanese cast of Rangers and allies with an American crew and ADR the rest but he wasn't sure how to do it since he's not a writer or a Director that's why he entrusted things to Tony Oliver to figure out a plan on how to map the system out.
