I will always appreciate Power Rangers for introducing me to Sentai. Hell, Power Rangers was the first series to take me away from Transformers when I was a kid.
My problem is not how the adaptations are executed, my problems lie with the lack of writing and acting capabilities. A lot of the Disney era stuff threw in enough explosions to give Michael Bay an orgasm. Add on top that every ranger team had to have some type of super power, diminishing the threat of the villains when they fight unmorphed. Then you have villains like Mr Snow in Operation Overdrive, Lothor in Ninja Storm, and Grumm in SPD that shows they were not even trying when it came to coming up with the villains. They either made them look ridiculously stupid to the point where you couldn't take them seriously, or/and they made them just down right idiotic in nature. Next, is the acting.
Sure, the acting was not always the show's strong point, but the ranger cast at least grew as the show went on. In the recent stuff, the series are so short that the actors have no chance to even improve to prove themselves to the audience. DinoThunder and SPD were the only series in the Disney era that had actors that started out pretty good in the beginning but then really got into their characters and were great by the end.
WIth that said, no, I will never find Power Rangers to be better than Sentai, but I will give it credit when it is do. They did an incredible job when they adapted the first several series (sans Turbo) into PR, because they were full of new ideas and were taken by surprised at how big the show became. Disney just pretty slammed it into the ground like Indiana Jones and had its way with the series. Just look at what they did to MMPR. They were losing money on the PR franchise, so what better way to make a profit than taking episodes already made and let their children draw on the video to make it "new" and "profitable." Sadly, Samurai did not help matters because it feels like a Disney PR show.
