Most of em were from the Disney seasons. Dino Thunder, SPD, Overdrive (hell one of em was a robit) Mystic.






I mean, uhhhh Power what now?

I haven't seen any of those seasons since they were originally on. I don't recall any super-powered humans becoming rangers in them. Granted, I don't recall much about them.

So this is basically The Acengers mixed with Pacific Rim? Teaser has me more excited they're actually taking the property serious.

This looks awful, like THE BREAKFAST CLUB meets X-MEN. Teenage angst, dark imagery, ominous music, bedroom scenes, not child-friendly at all. Fine, if you like that sort of thing, but it's not Power Rangers.

And if you tell me it's aimed at teens and young adults, I'll tell you that teens and young adults get enough superhero movies without anyone having to tarnish the Power Rangers brand.

Tarnish? Lets not be hyperbolic here. I mean Megaforce is still a thing.

Hardly tarnishing a brand that never cared about quality to begin with. I saw nothing in that trailer that screamed not child friendly. Kids see superhero movies all the time.

It can go either way. I have no idea who any of the cast are and their banter mixed in with the bad acting is awful. It seems like they're taking the origins via the Chronicle route in terms of getting their powers.

Images of the tie in toys are out for some of the props and t-rex zord design. Im not a fan of what they are going for yet. Like some sort of "Tremors" meets tiny bugs from "Starship Troopers" going on.

Sorry about not posting just the pics. On mobile at the moment.

I dunno it's hard to really judge from a picture of a cheap kids toy. I'm expecting something similar to a Bay Transformers design or something.

Yeah. Those are cheap toys. Taking the basic design.. they've like Bay designs light.

I guess this is the Megazord... it's a toy... but still, the basic look of it is there. Not really jiving w/ it.

First look at the concept art for Alpha 5.

Honestly between that and the Megazord toy which looks pretty bad I'm growing more iffy on this film. I already wasn't exactly sold on the Rangers having actual super powers in the trailer and these designs aren't helping any.

Not a fan of that "organic" look at all.

Yeah, he looks more like an alien/robot hybrid or something. Not a fan of the look at all.

That reminds me of Genesect from POKÉMON THE MOVIE: GENESECT AND THE LEGEND AWAKENED (2013):



...and the coin-eating monster from an episode of "Ultra Q" (1965), Japan's first "Ultra" series:

Re: Saban’s Power Rangers (2017, D: Dean Israelite)

Power Rangers to me were always the same as the Ninja Turtles....a complete mystery as to why people liked this shit. The horrible design, horrible acting, the way it was filmed in a hyperkentic fashion, and just general bullshit about it all just flew by me. I watched that trailer and the movie looks like more of the same. The effects on the liquid suit going over the guy looked cheap and nasty and the jumping the creek looking equally shit.

Count me the fuck out......
