1. I feel that anything new for Gf would have to go through Toei first, and I'm not sure how they feel about GF right now.

2. The main cast would probably be made up of white actors, would could cause controversy since the characters were originally Japanese. Having their ethnicities changed would further show that Saban whitewashed the GF dubs to the extent of changing their characters from Japanese girls to white or half-Japanese girls.

3. Precure has always been something made for Japanese audiences and then distributed abroad, so why create something that would most likely alienate the show's original audience? The Gf dubs aren't even airing in Netflix Asia, which would mean Asians would be excluded. Plus, how would Japanese audiences react if they see characters they know fully well as 'Pretty Cures' be addressed as the 'Glitter Force' and the shows are set outside of Japan?
