I hope Jason David Frank has a more serious role.

It's possible they're trying to avoid the "African American as black ranger, Asian American as yellow ranger" thing this go round, though honestly with all of the new characterizations in that casting call I'm not sure this has enough ties to the originals that they should have kept the names at all.

They fused Zack and Adam.

They can't seem to make up their mind on if this is a remake/reboot or a spinoff (there've been rumors the movie will be set up in some way in Dino Supercharge next year). My best guess is the names are placeholders for now. If it's truly set in the same continuity as the show, it'd pretty much have to have new character names. Otherwise it'd be kinda weird.

Last I read it's an alternate reality, like the new Star Trek. Something happening at the end of Dino Supercharge is supposed to cause a dimensional break of some sort. (That's how it was described, sounds dumb.) But really, who know how they're going to do it.

Fully expected a race lift and that's okay. I'm fully expecting Trini to be black.

I think this is a rare occurrence of racebending being more politically correct considering the jokes we made about the Black and Yellow Rangers before.

Compared to the other casting announcements...this one seems strange to me. And, this only has to do with the age of the character. I'm meant to believe this guy is 17?

Then again, "Power Rangers" wasn't really known for having teenagers be played by teenagers.

I can see the outrage when it turns out there will be no ethnically black person in the cast. I'm a bit surprised about this actually but I guess everything has to be PC these days.

Kitsch that can constantly reinvent itself. There's a very long shelf life to something both enjoyably ridiculous and continually evolving.
