I'm on the other side of this. The lack of tangible conflict is why kids are moving away from toys, I think.
Once you're older than 5, Paw Patrol and all this other crap that's "adventure" based loses its luster. There's a reason we still love Joe as old ass men and kids of today move on to video games

Scots are only Brits when they're about to win Wimbledon. ;)

Well, about half of this pitch is unintelligible stereotypes and tone-deaf propagandizing, so don't take it personally.

Definitely not something I would be onboard with, but I'm not a kid ages 5 to 11. However, I do feel like the pitch is underestimating children and might appeal more to what some parents want their kids to watch rather than what actually engages their imagination.

In all fairness, the later Adventure Team sets seemed to take on a more para-military bent than adventure. Mike Power's outfits especially leaned in that direction, except for the Fangs of the Cobra set.
