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.

Dude, people's minds can be changed. No one outside of fans like me cared about Captain America at first, then along came Winter Soldier and everybody's a Cap fan. Most people I've talked to or read the reviews they posted weren't that into "The First Avenger", but they changed their minds when the second movie came out.

Sure, they went to go see the 1st movie because they all like Iron man, but the way most people will tell you, the only movies of Phase 1 non-fans seem to like are Iron man, Thor if you really like Loki, and Avengers. That's 3 out of 6, only half of Marvel's initial shared universe movies were liked universally. Like you said, Marvel built itself up, but that means they didn't start with everyone trusting them, same as anything else.

Let's not forget the fact that originally Marvel films, before the studio was made, were seen as inferior by a lot of people to DC's, besides Spider-man and X-men (though that mostly because all DC had were the Reeve's Superman, old Batman films and were in the middle of the Nolan series). Daredevil, the Fantastic Four movies, Elektra, no one talks fondly of those movies today (or feels okay doing so in public). If people's attitude towards Marvel can shift from to , then something as old as Power Rangers can do just fine, especially since people have been bitching for ages that they should do their own thing unrestricted from the Sentai footage (like it's only the Sentai's fault for some of the shows goofier moments).
