Pokemon also has similar origins, where the very first series/generation (Kanto, the original 151 pokemon), or the original TMNT cartoon...generally overshadow everything that comes after it in terms of the general public. Even though both franchises have moved on considerably from their first incarnations for decades.
This is one case in which childhood fad franchises can never escape I guess. Whatever the first series is will always be the most well known, and people generally never come back or stick with the franchise for later on. Power Rangers is similar in that regard too, I never watched much of Power Rangers outside the first series.
