Meshing two completely series together sounds strange, but I'm not watching Megaforce expecting an American version of Goseiger/Gokaiger and I suggest anyone who is to go away and just rewatch the Japanese series instead. If they can rewrite the story to make it work, then I see no reason why it shouldn't be done.
As it stands, Super Sentai and Power Rangers are two different things. One does not supersede the other. Power Rangers Megaforce is not Tensou Sentai Goseiger 2.0 or Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger 2.0. It is simply Power Rangers Megaforce.

I've been under the assumption that sentai also has a more adult focused fanbase than the rest of the world and I would even say the amount of higher end product put out would/could support this

Unlikely. Things like Figuarts were always a collector orientated line.

So you're right in that they might have a larger focus on adults, not because the fanbase is necessarily bigger, but simply because they are willing to tap into that small market. Saban, however, at least in the case of Samurai, seems to have made the decision to focus almost entirely on kids because profits are not hurt a lot by this focus (adults still buy Samurai merchandise). This may change with Megaforce as we've seen marketing more geared towards collectors than Samurai was. Hopefully this translate to the actual show too.

Bronnies are everywhere. They are beyond help and all you can do is save yourself from the same furry fate.

I am not a furry. I just appreciate the show and the characters for what they are, and enjoy reading crossover fanfictions starring the characters, as well as adapting real people into possible characters for the franchise. I draw the line at human/pony romance.

The show's quality has spawned a dedicated community of fans who are outside the demographic of little girls. It was surprising to see grown men, in particular, become such big fans of a show about colorful ponies, but I think this article would explain it a bit more. http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/...-little-ponys/
