The general public didn't know shit about Guardians of the Galaxy or Suicide Squad, but Guardians did great and Suicide Squad's fans both old and new still defend the movie regardless. People not knowing about the later bits of a franchise doesn't stop it from happening. As for changing the characters in the suits, doing so past Rocky and his group and not just making it Zeo would be stupid. People bitch when they change whoever Ironman or the Hulk is without even reading the comics, so it would be worse if a movie most people watch just chucked aside a kid to be the same Red Ranger each 2 or so movies if it's the same suit.

The reason Hasbro and others focus on the first installment when adapting it is obviously because it's best to start at the beginning. The reasons why they don't go farther are different and varied depending on the quality of the adaptation. How much are the Michael Bay movies like G1 right now? (Autobots being hunted, no Autobot City, no mention of Unicron, Quintesson, Primus, so on). How similar is IDW's Transformers, now that Hasbro is going all shared universe with G.I. Joe and M.A.S.K.?

Maybe I won't get my Time Force movie, but for this film to not make it to Zeo at the very least, it would have to be too shitty to continue on. Or are we forgetting that series like James Bond, Star Trek and Dr. Who thrive all the while getting new characters and actors regularly?

Well that's because Marvel has built itself up as a brand with all of these characters. It doesn't matter as long as it's a Marvel movie, it'll be good. The Marvel branding has gotten so prominent that non Marvel studios movies that have marvel characters (IE X-men and Deadpool) are now being labeled as such by the mainstream media despite being made by FOX.

We all know that Power Rangers is just a branding for different groups of heroes that conforms to specific tropes, but the general audience doesn't know that. Power Rangers ended after season 1 or possibly up to Zeo for most people. And besides, I don't think mainstream audiences could take PR seriously enough in order for that slow growth of mindshare to happen given what from they remember of MMPR.
