How can i make an abridged series?

i want to make an abridged series but i can't download any anime without getting into serious legal trouble with the producers of the anime. But can i use video games to make an abridged series. How can i make up any jokes without ripping off anyone else or relying on pop culture references or overused internet memes? What video editing software should i use? How many filler episodes should i include? should i make some character development? Can i make an abridged series of super sentai?
