Someone tell me I just imagined people in this forum are complaining the new Power Rangers movie doesn't have enough white people in it.

All due respect, not a fan of the new looks.
Wish they get original with the armor design than using the overused armorish looks that Marvel and DC been using for the last decade. |

I'm with Guile, though: Japan makes theatrical releases for Super Sentai all the time, and they just use the same costumes as the TV show, which is more often than not just spandex. Provided, the movies are low budget kiddie fare (as is Super Sentai in general)--no real pretense, so no real need to be "edgy". |

I'm a long time Power Rangers fan and have been since I was a kid and I seriously don't see anything wrong with these updated costumes, what did you expect for a big budget Hollywood adaptation spandex? Hell No there going to go with an edgier more stylish look for the next generation and I don't have a problem with it.

I figured the reaction to the reveal of these would be polarizing. Anybody who thought that they'd go for the typical spandex suits is frankly delusional. That being said, for all the talk they made about it symbolizing "metamorphosis" and "catalysm", I was expecting these to look more organic and less armoured than they are.
I don't mind them, but honestly, they look too mechanical. Black Ranger looks like he was made from spare Batman and Robocop parts. Also, I don't think it's worth adding anymore that Frank will make a cameo, on account of he's apparently barred from entering Canada, and people at Lionsgates have a problem with him. |

Hmm, main problems I have with the suits are that the heads look strange, especially Red Rangers. Like the shape looks a bit off to me. Mouths look off putting. The females are in heels? And the females' chest plates.
And, as others mentioned, they do remind me of Iron Man. Don't hate the males' suits from the neck down. But, will hold off totally hating these suits into I see them moving. So will wait for a preview. There's been many times where I've not liked still images for designs, then actually like them when they're moving around. |

Actually, people were quite vocal about the suit from the first Amazing Spider-Man like the "tennis shoes" "tiny, yellow eyes" and departure from the comics. This was precisely why people thought the suit in the sequel was the best one to date. And in fact lot of people like the costume in Civil War because it was a well done updating of classic Spider-Man's costume, many commenting that it was like Ditko's Spider-Man came off the page. People are saying "what you rather they kept the spandex?" Well firstly, the costumes don't seem to be made of spandex anymore, you can tell by how loose the costumes are these days. Secondly, superheroes wear spandex in the comics but, they don't where them in the films and still look good, don't they? Look at Deadpool who wears a skin-tight suit in the comics but transitioned well into his movie. The problem isn't that the costume is armoured, it's just that it's so overdesigned and if it weren't for the colours you wouldn't have even thought that these were Power Ranger costumes. I respect that this is the first Power Rangers created entirely by the west though and this is how they're doing it so it doesn't have to adhere to the aesthetics layed out by Super Sentai. The designer could have just tried harder to make the costumes resemble the source costumes more. I find it strange that many hated how Shredder was done in 2014's TMNT which still resembled Shredder but people say that this is fine. |

They make me think more of Kikaider Rangers. But I gotta give 'em props for going for the more traditional sentai look.

Out of all of these posts not one person has pointed out the greatest offense of this image:
NO POSING! Without that, this isn't Power Rangers / Super Sentai no matter what you do. |

There's nothing wrong with camp. Those suits are just bad.
If you wanna good superhero costumes, look at Black Panter/Ant-Man in MCU, pilot suits in Pacific Rim or even Superman in Man of Steel. |

"Forced diversity" is such a ridiculous term especially in regards to frickin' power rangers which (along with being entirely fictional) has always had a multiracial cast. You could argue its forced diversity they included anyone except Asians (specifically Japanese people) as PR is based on the japanese Super Sentai series.
True those are all good suits. I'm not the best with design terminology but I think the ranger suits are over designed, too many contrasting lines? If they removed those glowing lines it'd streamline the look more and it'd be easier on the eyes. I like the blue one though he reminds me of Guyver. One thing bothering about the girls isn't the heels (which I didn't notice) but the perky prominent breast plates. |
