Re: Power Rangers 2017 So, they're super-strong outside their suits? Makes them a bit too powerful, no? Kind of like in the first Bay-produced Turtle flick, where it turns out these hulking mutants are bulletproof, on top of everything else.
I won't say it looks bad...but it does eerily remind me of Fant4stic...which isn't the best sign.
Re: Power Rangers 2017 Whereas for a Teaser Trailer, I think it looks pretty good on my end. I like the snark, and the suits look better in motion than the stills did. Call me cautiously hyped.
Re: Power Rangers 2017 Well, I did find it odd that they all seemed to be...troubled.
Which I suppose isn't necessarily a bad thing. Arguably, a more realistic high school environment could make them more relateable. More than one in five kids are picked on, and there are plenty more than two half-witted bullies.
Though, with one of them having "you should die" painted on their locker, does indicate a severe loss of the campy fun that likely endeared the show to it's original viewership way back when.
Though am I the only one that got a Breakfast Club vibe from the first half of the trailer? :lol
Abso-f*&king-lutely!! :lol I thought the same thing.

My response to a discussion about the Red Hulk story line in the shout.
Re: Power Rangers 2017 So the Rangers have gone from being "teenagers with attitude" to troubled outcasts? Ugh. Horribly derivative. When will the writers for all these teens stories figure out that not all nerds/geeks/whatever are persecuted and not all the "cool kids" are assholes. Just cut and paste my comment about "empty calories, cinematic junk food" from the Ninja Turtles thread and put it here. Easy pass.
Re: Power Rangers 2017 I just remember almost 30 years ago, when a comic book movie came out, it was totally darker and more dour than the light hearted and campy show from the 1960s that people always associated with that character. And it still had a lot of the camp with it, but a tone darker. And now, we kind of hold Tim Burton's Batman movie as the archtype of what a superhero movie should be. I've always thought Power Rangers could pull off that balance between dark and campy, like the Burton Batman did.
