The vast majority of which don't know that Sentai/Super Sentai even exists yet and therefore don't compare the way we do.

The fact that we all watch the Sentai series and then follow up with the PR series is mainly due to the fact that most of us grew up watching the PR series first and found the Sentai series later.

Fact: The Sentai Series, toys, etc, will always be superior to that of their PR counterparts.

There are reasons I don't watch EVERY new version of shows that I grew up with...Thundercats, Voltron, TMNT, etc...the new ones are crap by comparison...they just have better animations now.

Goseiger was a masterpiece in comparison to Megaforce
Gokaiger was, IMO, WAY better than Goseiger
I know that Super Megaforce is going to suck...but I'm gonna watch it anyway...just a sucker like that...heh

This is balls, and you know it.

If you look at early Saban right through to RPM, the Power Rangers shows tried to be their own thing and to actually have plots and characters. Sure there were shows which mirrored their counterparts, but rarely lazily. Even the later Disney stuff although copying the key details of each season beat by beat added entirely new villains and recorded enough new fight footage to make entirely new shows. It was never the case of one being superior to the other, because they were two franchises who stood entirely on their own and simply shared some fight clips.

Sadly Neo Saban came along and just shat all over that.
