Ex-Aid wasn't that bad, the only Donbro-tier design he had was his Level 1 form, which was more of a gag anyway. Otherwise, he was just different.
Gaim was great. Sure, the initial announcement led to jokes (it did follow Wizard after all, one of the best Rider designs in history, despite his shitty show), but seeing the suit in action dispelled most of them. Once you get used to the orange color, you learn to love it.
>Bird and Dog were a non-issue in a show that was mostly about interpersonal relationships out of costume, and with both of them being some of the most interesting rangers ever written.
But they weren't a non-issue. Donbros is a tokusatsu show, you can't just close your eyes and pretend the abysmal dogshit half of it doesn't exist because the other half is good. And the fact that we have to settle for it shows how screwed Sentai is.
