INTEREST: Power Rangers' Original Blue, Black Rangers Aren't Impressed by Reboot Film

Time Force was basically the Japanese version, almost note for note. I disagree with the watered down, RPM and Lost Galaxy are better than their Sentai counterpart. But nowadays Power Rangers have really lost it way.

It was not a panel dedicated to being negative, the two did have positives to add.

“I thought the characters were great, I thought the energy and the cast were awesome, RJ Cyler killed it,” Jones said.

The changes made to Billy Cranston also made Yost really happy.

“I was like totally over the moon about RJ and I think he really hit it out of the park” Yost said. “I really loved what he did with the character.”

Yost especially appreciated that they put Cranston on the autism spectrum.

What is up with each season being split in half nowadays? And skipping ToQger?

I loved Power Rangers growing up but lost interest as I got older. Loving anime, I gave Gokaiger a chance and oh man... Oh man... That series was great. So you'd think that Power Rangers would make a great adaptation, right? Oh man... Oh man... What is up with each season being split in half nowadays? And skipping ToQger?

It may be Hollywood accounting to blame, but from what I've looked on the International Movie Database, if we take the concept of marketing/distribution to be about equal to production costs of the movie, most movies from Hollywood in the 21st century don't actually turn a profit. Instead, the major studios rely on the few gigantic hits of the year to cover for the losses most of their other movies produce. It's the most obvious with Warner Bros., with them relying on the Harry Potter movies and Tolkien movies (and now the Lego movies, and to a lesser extent the DC movies) as their annual tentpoles.

The new Red is a terrible person with no leadership characteristics.
The new Pink is a teriible cyberbully who never gets punished for her actions and even seems like we're supposed to like her.
The new Blue is autistic because they had to have a disabled person in the cast.
The new Black is poor because they had to have a poor person in the cast.
The new Yellow is a lesbian because they had to have a LBTG person in the cast.

They are all terrible people with some sort of sob story and no ounce of heriosm.


Who was this movie made for?

why didn't Zack do Hip Hop Kido in the film?.....wait a minute is it because this version of Zack isn't black?

I wasn't much of a fan of the original MMPR. But ever since Zeo came out, I started checking out the seasons from time to time. Haven't checked out the more recent series after it went back to Saban though.

Red defended Blue from bullies and was just a general nice guy who made one stupid mistake, something lots of teens can relate too.
Pink had her boyfriend cheat with one of the girls in her best friend group, or did you miss that part? Cause that's a very real situation that happens, and the movie handled it well, she did something wrong and she has to live with that, not "No what you did was right". A very adult message.
Blue was one of the best ways to show an autistic person and has more to his character with him missing his dad who passed away and the rangers are his new family.
Black has to take care of his mother and the film handles him well to with him saying "When she dies", not if, not maybe, when. From a kids film this is pretty big to acknowledge death like that.
And Yellow is about how her family puts labels on everyone and wants her to be normal, and she's scared of what her parents might think of her if she told them what she might truly be. I have a friend who has this same situation with her family so this felt all too real to me.

These new rangers are real teenagers unlike the cardboard cut out goody-two shoes of the original show. All 5 are also amazing actors and in interviews they all seem like great friends.
