Maybe they should ger rid of all martials and just make them subclasses of the fighter.Really they should get rid of the monk and give most of its abilities to the fighter: more attacks, an increasing minimum baseline amount of damage, some cool effects on impact, etc... All of those things are common in the kind of modern anime/super heroic/action movie inspirational media, even for otherwise "mundane" fighters.
Are Monk, Paladin, Barbarian and Ranger really distinct enough that they couldn't be done as subclasses for a fighter?
What is a Monk if not an unarmed fighter?
What is a Paladin but a fighter who's attacks are strengthened by divine power?
What is a Barbarian but a fighter that needs anger management classes?
What is a ranger but a fighter who likes to go camping and hiking?
