is it just me....

Or every city that the rangers live is usually conviently near a valley?

Even more coincidentally, They all seem to be by a source of water.

Angel Grove, Mariner Bay, Lost Galaxy...

Life always migrates toward water. Look at the Egyptions, they migrated to the Nile river

Valleys, rivers and oceans always function best for living. Quicker trade, easier to grow crops etc.

Also Lost Galaxy took place almost entirely on the Terra Venture which was man made. We only saw glimpses of Earth and later Minidoir. Minidoir did have ocean parts but most of it's filming was done in forests. You can't blame them for including oceans since without water life cannot exist

where else would the valley girl come from?

Beginning a morphed fight in a park, then finding yourself dualling it out seconds later in a valley when you barely moved (females losing breasts may come naturally), no buildings surrounded. Then soon after, when apparently you were in the valley away from skyscrapers, you begin a zord fight in the city. There is always an abnormally massive gap in the middle of buildings forming a courtyard, the gap has no real significance to the city's production, it just seems to conveniantly be there. No civilians ever walk or step there, they just led huge monsters and mecha battle it out. If a few buildings get destroyed, they are back the next day.

Also animals appearing from every possible different ecosystem out there move incredibly slow on the battlefield, yet somehow zoom faster than the speed of light to get to the same location.

Gotta love the PR universe. <3

You guys ever notice how when monsters grow, they always seem to attack "abandoned" warehouses or buildings uninhabited by civilians.

Lol makes you appreciate it when the buldings or vehicles do have people in them, makes it more dramatic for that episode.

Or for the casual victims, Bulk and Skull (MMPR in a car, Turbo in a skyscraper), the theme is more hilarious than dramatic.

It wasn't until 9/11 that they actually say that buildings are abandoned. I remember one SPD monster said "I hate empty buildings!" before he smashed it.

The real reason is that Japan isn't that big of a country and there are only so many places Toei can film. Saban/Disney then had/has to find similar-looking places in Los Angeles/New Zealand to film their corresponding original footage. It leads to a lot of repetition of locations as well as a lot of poorly-executed splices between original and source footage.
