>It is a good way to save money. PR is so cheap to make that even Cosmic Fury made money. Nobody watches PR except kids and manchildren, so it's not comparable to big Hollywood movies. Dubbed Sentai would be too alien and awkward outside Asia because of the lips not matching and everyone being Japanese for no reason.
You could argue that but there are two problems:
1. If your intent is to "create" a show, then you are clearly very limited to what you can do if the costumes, props and SFX footage is taken from elsewhere.
2. If your intent is instead to essentially make a dub with extra steps, it's an unnecessary expense to film new footage when you could just do all your work in a recording studio.
We just don't see this kind of thing happen a lot outside of Power Rangers, at least not since the 90's, which would indicate the cost saving or creative compromise isn't worth it for most productions.

Never heard of that guy before but no, the argument is more so that they seem more willing to spend money on reshoots and extra CGI, rather than simply just revising the script to be tight and figuring out how to minimise the SFX/CGI with better technique, which they used to do by the way. The point is that there are ways of keeping the budget down that won't require just recycling entire scenes just because they were expensive to film in the first place, if what Power Rangers was a good in general, then you'd probably see something like WB hacking out scenes from the Snyderverse and putting them into new movies to make back the money they wasted making those movies.
