These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: Hikari Sentai Maskman
Big Lipped Alligator Moment: The opening credits features a naked body-builder flexing, summoning energy and blasting a block... which explodes to reveal the five members of the team. The hell?
Fan Preferred Couple: There's a lot of fans who'd rather Takeru end up with Momoko eventually. Also an example of Ships That Pass In The Night since Takeru and Momoko don't get a focus episode together or even talk to each other very much.
Takeru/Haruka is also a popular pair, and might have more support in a way that Haruka was once a recipient of Takeru's Get A Hold Of Yourself Man.
Germans Love David Hasselhoff: While this Sentai is pretty much fine in Japan, it's really, really popular in the Philippines. Generally the contender for most memorable Sentai is either this or Choudenshi Bioman.
Amusingly, Takeru's actor married a Filipino woman.
The Untwist: Prince Igam is actually a woman. Not much of a spoiler, considering "he" was obviously played by a female...and it doesn't help matters much that the title of the episode where this is "revealed" is "Prince Igam, you're a woman!", as though it weren't obvious enough to begin with.
To a lesser extent that Takeru's girlfriend is really the princess of Tube, which we find out early in but the Maskmen themselves are ignorant of for most of the show.
Values Dissonance: The male Maskmen jokingly impersonate criminals to get the female members to strip. That strikes a modern viewer as rather creepy.
