I think the franchise would have still come back in some form if Disney didn't sell. It probably would have been a lot longer. But the franchise is better off with Saban Brands. Instead of being a subsidary of a huge corporation, they are now the central franchise of one company. As much as they have been critized creatively, they are invested in the franchise. They have opened a lot of doors to showcase the franchise in ways Disney never tried. It was unbelievable that Disney never gave us boxed sets or took advantage of online streaming. After a few years they even stopped airing the reruns. Saban has done all this plug got them on a strong cable network that is comparable to Disney's channels.

thing is in order for such a thing to have happened Disney's rights on Power Rangers would have needed to lapse to the point of the rights going back to Toei. Basically exactly what happened with shows like Digimon and Kamen Rider Dragon Knight just to name a few examples.
I agree that it was unbelievable that Disney never took advantage of DVDs or streaming options but I guess they thought Power Rangers wasn't worth their time to even bother with it.

Marvel would have been good but Disney wanted nothing to do with it and it would have been under their ownership again once they bought Marvel on top of which it would still need to be something that Marvel would want to handle and they are pretty much only a comic book division. Not to mention I'm not sure how Marvel would even feel about needing to divide the sales between themselves and Toei.
