It's good proof that Rita's gonna be the Green Ranger in this, at the very least.

Yeah sure I've seen Guyver. I guess this is just the standard scifi lazy route of "aliens are all humanoid".

Of course, Power Rangers does have weird things about it's version of space, like having breathable air and yeah almost exclusively? humanoid aliens so maybe that's just part of the setting, I guess.

We've gotten to the point where Power Rangers figures look like knock-off power rangers figures.

I wasn't able to tell before, but I hate those helmet designs. Jason is the only one that kind of looks like his animal, MAYBE Kim.

Also I really want to see these things in flat lighting because I have no idea what color the stripes are supposed to be. Some angles they look black, others some other color.

I do appreciate that the toys are their primary colors and not murky dingy colors, but it also highlights just how much these suits needed white to offset the colors.

Agreed 100%, especially about the lack of white. They just look really generic right now.

Alright, let's do this
Yeah, I was gonna complain that each uniform has blue on it, even going back to the first promotional picture. I'd even go so far as to say the red ranger's costume is the only one with serious effort put into it, the rest look somewhat half baked.

This movie was always gonna be a train wreck, but I was hoping for a fun train wreck. It's starting to look like even my meager expectations will be squashed. They better not gently caress up the megazord (they will).

Wow, those are really, really bad. I can't believe these look worse than the costumes from the movie 20 years ago. And those weren't even that great.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Goddamn, yellow is stacked. I hope the actress is pretty modestly endowed so it's even funnier.

What really gets me about the armor tits in that one image is the fact that she's in profile with everyone else, but her chest is sliiiiiiiiiiightly turned towards the viewer in a very Rob Liefled kinda way to show off her giant armor tits that extend past her head.

Probably so they don't stick out in profile. If she was all the way to the side it would look more ridiculous.

Yeah but what makes it stick out to me is that her shoulders look totally in line with her face and such- it's just her chest. Just such a weird unnatural thing to see on something in real life

This week's issue of the Power Rangers comic had Rita trying to recruit Zack as her new green ranger before she found Tommy, giving him a monologue about how it can be hard to be second in command and underappreciated, hinting that she was at one point Zordon's partner.

I'm curious if they are bringing the comic in line with the movie.

So they've axed The power ranger in favor of powering up the villain that gets overshadowed by Zedd.

Maybe instead of overpowering Zedd she'll be freed of his control and become the sixth ranger.

Well, that would be neat. I mean, they let Karone become a ranger so why not the other galactic tyrant.

Wait, was Rita a galactic tyrant or was she just one of Zedd's subcontractors?

She took over worlds for Lord Zedd.

So I guess both

greatn

Yeah she took over at least three worlds explicitly before going to earth, probably more, going by the shows lore. She was no Zedd or Master Vile of course, and her worlds technically belong to Zedd.

Any indication they are going to do more Legacy helmets? The red ranger helmet is cool but I'm sure there is a bigger market for green and white

So I haven't paid any attention to this poo poo. Have they said whether the movie is going to have a Bulk & Skull?

I'm looking at these shots and while I was fine with the ranger suit designs, I'm slowly getting worried over direction. Power Rangers was a show that ended half it's episodes with a fat guy getting pied in the face; kind of an awful moral but a fairly accurate indicator of the show's tone. If they're going serious faced Pacific Rim with this property they're going to screw it up.

Yes, Pacific Rim was good but MMPR was very much not Pacific Rim in it's day.

This seems like it's trending closer to that, perhaps because that grim five-minute fan film got such a reaction. I wouldn't totally Scooby-Doo it but don't be afraid of a little camp. Rita looks campy as hell though so we'll see.

"We'll see" is about right, yeah. I was really surprised they didn't drop a trailer at Comicon. Just keep waiting I guess.
