i grew up on MMPR, it was a natural transition from TMNTs and i'll always love that OG cast (Jason, Zack, Kimberly, Billy & Trini). After Jason Zack and Trini left, i watched on and off again up until Lost in Space before i finally just moved on from it for the DBZs/Outlaw Stars/Cowboy Bebops of the world.

So a movie like this can have a nostalgic pull for me but from what i've gathered of the casting, on one hand I understand simply changing the color of his costume so that the "black" guy isn't the 'black' ranger... but as far as his actual "character", Zack was the shyt: the smooth talking charismatic bad ass... so to essentially cast the black teen into the "Billy" role in this re-imagining of the franchise... :francis:

That pretty much deads my nostalgia. So it'll come down to that trailer for me and how well it sells itself.

I can rock with it.

In that spoof short film, I liked the idea of the downside of weaponizing teenagers and how you could have some that went down the wrong path.

This probably won't get that dark but:ehh:

Especially if it ends with Green Ranger being created.

starting to hate this world so much man,, lol. i swear its like women dont even like being women no more.

i get the complaints tho. Not saying I agree with it but I certainly understand where they're coming from. I don't know any woman who'd have an issue with it but I wouldn't be mad if they did

Knowin Hollywood..... they probably will do that
Hell, knowing Saban themselves....they aren't unfamiliar with putting weird ass choices into a ranger suit.

We got Justin from Turbo, Doggie Kruger from SPD, and then later down the line when most of us stop watching, had that old chick as the white ranger in Mystic Force.

I thought you were exaggerating and then I search "boob armor" and there's really people complaining about it. :why:

The anger over "boob armor" isn't even new though. People online have been bytching about the Wonder Woman movie for having the Amazons in so-called "boob armor". Its gotten kinda ridiculous.
