You're going to have to give me examples of that later point cause I've never heard this being the case. Like sure, sometimes some ideas might be similar, and sometimes they might directly take something like the SPD battlelizer, but otherwise I don't think Toei or any of the creative teams on Sentai cares about what happens in Power Rangers.

And to address the Godzilla comparison, the US Godzilla films are still at least wholly original, whereas Power Rangers to this day still takes and bases its footage around Sentai. It's literally within the DNA of the franchise and every attempt to move away from it hasn't worked. Sentai can exist without Power Rangers, Power Rangers can't exist without Sentai.

I'm not saying people can't like Power Rangers. I just don't think the franchise has any shelf life in the current media landscape.
