I for one am fine with this given how cheesy and corny the original series looks without the nostalgia blinders. |

Huh, I expected to be much worse. It's ... not that bad. At least the colors are the same unlike Rita's suit.

Kids today have their own Power Rangers, not a hackneyed appropriation of an older generation's. |

Diversity. Though to be fair, so was the original except in a silly way with the black ranger being black, and the yellow ranger being yellow. In this case, the diversity doesn't feel forced since the original already had forced diversity, so I don't mind too much. |

Busy, really busy and look... they light up. That'll make surprise attacks tricky.
My main issue is that the helmets all look like they have the same design except for the red one and even there you can barely make out the tyrannosaurus. Also I'm sure boob lines and armor were sooo necessary to the design. It gives me the impression that they'll be throwing out the fantasy elements for sci-fi and that Zordon won't be a wizard. What next? I suppose the green ranger will have wings that unfold from his shield because the Dragonzord won't resemble Godzilla anymore in the next movie. Assuming we get that far. |

I think the worst part of those designs would be the helmets. Something looks wrong with them. Maybe stretched too tall? Or maybe just too big in general?
But the original already had a diverse cast? I mean the red ranger was native american, the yellow ranger was asian, the black ranger was black, the blue ranger was a white guy, and the pink ranger was a white girl. |

Can Marvel get the Power Rangers rights? They could put Spider-Man into the movie with his own Megazord, so people would watch it.

Having taken a second look and calmed down. They aren't so bad. I just wish the visors weren't all the same shape, except for the red ranger's.
Though looking at them now, I can't help but think, "Prepare for Battlegrid Mode!" I want to like these and hope I'm proven wrong. I want to be proven wrong and if I am, then I will happily admit it. |

So the body armor has breasts and cod pieces...did we not learn from Batman Forever? All that's missing is the nipples.
I have no problem with the casting, nor the Rita costume. Updating the 90's cheesy looks (especially Rita) is fine. Yet these costumes (assuming they are finished products), look like the directors way of sexualizing the film just for the sake of it. |

Well, where else are the boobs going to go? The hammerspace top the teacher from "Eiken" wore? |

Oh god the lips!
And the high heels! AND THE ABS! AND THE ARC REACTORS1 *head explodes* But yeah. This looks like Power Rangers by way of Christopher Nolan. And no, that isn't a compliment. |

You chose the wrong franchise to complain about "political correctness". Power Rangers have always had diverse casts with at least one Black person and one East Asian person, all the way since Mighty Morphin'. I'm not too fond of the costumes. They're way too busy and, much like Rita's new look, seem to have been made with the idea of looking "edgy". They've really missed the point: no matter how "dark" a Power Rangers series gets, it's still relatively self-aware of how ridiculous the situation is. Whether or not you're in on the joke depends on whether or not you've hit puberty; if not, you're too young to worry about these things. If you have, you most likely don't care anyway. It's probably why you're watching in the first place. You can make arguments about how Batman and Superman POW BAM COMICS AREN'T JUST FOR KIDS, but Power Rangers is all about kids. You can't divorce Power Rangers from its child-like sense of magic and adventure. You do that, you take the point out of the whole thing. Even Michael Bay's Ninja Turtles movie kept in some form of humor from the show (see: "MC Mikey"). spoiler[I know someone's going to bring up how the original Eastman and Laird comics were edgy, and they were--but TMNT didn't get popular until the heavily-sanitized cartoon (in a strange twist, "dumbing it down" worked).] |
