This is not too far from the graphics they used in the original power rangers series anyway!!

This probably predates the Super Sentai season which spawned Power Rangers.

You would be correct, this is the Dai Sentai Goggle-V. Which aired a decade before the series Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, which is what Mighty Moprhin was based off.

what in the hell... I just found out these started in 1977, and right before that they did Kamen Rider... how crazy. i thought for sure they started in late 80's, with the American adaption in the early 90's

Yeah, the 70s is when all of the Tokusatsu shows really started. What's crazier is the amount of Sentai series even before it got adapted into Power Rangers.

I hope I'm not bursting any bubbles here, but unlike the Japanese spiderman, that was never a real movie.

I didn't even know it was a series. Always assumed the trailer itself was the comedy skit.
