The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers are back… again.
Haim Saban and Lionsgate announced on Wednesday a deal to produce a new live action film based on the iconic kids show that originally launched in 1993.

“Lionsgate is the perfect home for elevating our Power Rangers brand to the next level,” Saban said. “They have the vision, marketing prowess and incredible track record in launching breakthrough hits from ‘The Hunger Games' to ‘Twilight' and ‘Divergent.’ In partnership with the Lionsgate team, we're confident that we will capture the world of the Power Rangers and translate it into a unique and memorable motion picture phenomenon with a legacy all its own.”

Power rangers were always lame, even when i was a kid. And still is. Ill completely pass on this. Just like TMNT.

Yes! Can't wait for this, Power Rangers defined my childhood, especially MMPR. Would be banging if they got Amy Jo Johnson involved, she's still in the industry and still looks young lol.

Whatever they make I will watch it, it's not like Power Rangers have high standards.

Well it's not like I can about them ruining the source material...

Amen.

But it always sucked, I don't even have nostalgic feelings for it like I do Transformers, GI Joe, and TMNT.

That's quite interesting really, everyone was mad about those shows yet the Power Rangers have aged so badly, like nobody really likes them when they grow up.


I guess I have a little nostalgia for it but not even as close as Transformers, TMNT, X-Men etc...

I liked power rangers a lot as a kid, at least until the green ranger turned white and ruined everything.

But it always sucked, I don't even have nostalgic feelings for it like I do Transformers, GI Joe, and TMNT. So I'll pass. Maybe I'll rent it from Redbox for $1 when it comes out on video.

Racist , but I still enjoy watching Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in spite of (or maybe because of) how silly and ridiculous it is .

I really liked the show as a kid even though I knew it would always be the same thing. something funny happens at school, monster on a rampage, rangers fight helpers and then beat up the baddy. Baddy gets big, rangers summon their animals only to turn them in a big robot straight away.. big robot wins the day.

It was just fun entertainment. The moment the core cast was changed I didnt like it anymore. I only liked it with the original five power rangers. Well the green ranger was fine too. I think by the time he got white some of the cast was already replaced so I didnt watch it anymore. Stopped watching as soon as the original cast wasnt complete anymore.

Although a reboot has already been done though..

Well it has been remade so much that why should anyone care at this point, It's nostalgic in the sense of "look at this absurd thing I used to watch, it's hilarious". It's sort of like the Adam West Batman.

I actually want a full on gritty reboot of this franchise, Just for the hell of it.

As we said, whatever they do will be interesting.

I really only liked the original cast through including Green/White Ranger. After that with all its turbo and ninja and all that business I just never watched. Plus I grew up so...

And the other thing is they already had a full on movie back in the day (although not the complete original cast) which I owned and watched many times because the costumes got an upgrade and also Amy Jo Johnson, the first woman I ever loved.



If you guys are looking for gritty...



This is the alternate ending to the original.

See this is the sort of reboot that makes sense. Take a beloved but terrible live action 90s show. Spend a 100 million+ on production values. Profit.

They can use CGI appropriately and have actual characters because the main characters are people, not cartoon robots or reptiles.

Power rangers is bad enough that this cannot fail. Either they can play it seriously and make everything semi plausible or go camp and just make it awesome. I want five man band camp.

I really don't think its something that should be done too seriously. It's way too silly for that.

Though they should take more time to show these teenagers becomeing power rangers though. Not just using that transformation thingy in the first episode and know straight away how the weapons work, how to summon their creatures without even being told they had such a thing, let alone knowing how to controll it when they may still be learning how to drive a car.

I mean.. in a reboot they could spend the first season very much training and learning to use all their stuff. Overcomeing personal issues along the way. And each one of them could have an issue.

Personly I was a fan of the original blue ranger, because he was wearing glasses and was a bit geeky like me yet he was just as cool and strong as the other rangers. When we where pretending to be the power rangers on the playground, I was usually the blue ranger. (everyone wanted to be the red ranger anyways.)

I do think that the show could be a good help to teenagers which would be the main target audience.. teenagers in high school who deal with different kinds of real issues, and what changes about these issues once they are given power.
Kind of the familiar "with great power comes great responsibility" thing, but juggling it amongst five characters in different ways.

The geeky guy who gets bullied getting such powers could risk becomeing a worse bully for example. First he could struggle in his physical training, but when his confidence grows it could turn into overconfidence.
The tough and popular quarterback kind of guy could be overconfident to begin with however, and could have difficulty accepting the others as equals in combat. Might have more issues when not being chosen as the leader.
The cheerleader kind of girl who is just a pretty thing could slowly discover she has more to offer than just looks, and could find her own strenght. Also she could struggle with abusing it when trying to prove shes more than just a pretty face.
One could be more of an outcast. Smoking, using drugs and such. Bad effects of drugs use could be made appearant through this character, taking its toll during training.

Could also be neat though if all of them are not friends to begin with. They could all attend the same high school for convenience and move on to the same college in later seasons, but it could allow for more relation development. The quarterback could have been bullying the geeky guy for example. Seeing how they'd all share the same secret and would have these responsibilities together, that would create a natural bond.

As for the fighting.. I do think there shouldnt really be dying or such involved. A different villain could be used though. Still someone who creates monsters and sends them down to earth, but it should be with more of a purpose.
Not really a villain of the week thing, but a larger plot. Also, the rangers could do some normal superhero stuff alongside it to help others.
Megazord could be there, but shouldnt be used every episode.. just at key moments to face something gigantic. Growing monsters could be a rare occurance.

Pink Ranger was best. She had a Pterodactyl. So hot. I'd *obscene content removed*

I'd like if they limited their use of the megazord because after the first fiasco using it where they destroy half the city with it... "Well that was probably a mistake."

I was a white ranger for Halloween when I was little.

You're still little.
