Has Super Sentai Ruined Power Rangers, or Has It Even Ruined Itself?

I have been thinking recently, "If people have been saying that Power Rangers is 'ruining' Super Sentai, is it really the other way round? Have seasons like Time Force and RPM even ruined the whole franchise for some?" I think this is one of the reasons why Linkara doesn't watch tthe corresponding Sentai series for each PR season, and I agree with his sentiments. He wants to review each PR season as its own standalone series, and with the (supposed) quality descrepency between Sentai and PR recently, this could really help. What is your take on this issue?

I dont think any series is ruining the other. Its just when pr tries to slave to sentai, things can get bad. But as fans its important to remember that they are two different series.

I don't believe Power Rangers can ruin Sentai at all. Sentai purists might not like what Power Rangers does a lot of the time but that doesn't mean it invalidates what Sentai already did.

Also the same can be said for Power Rangers. I don't believe Time Force or RPM has ruined the franchise at all.
