The Power Rangers

[Bat-Meal]

I finally got around the watching the 2017 film the other day. Enjoyed it, but it took forever for them to finally suit-up, like the last 20 minutes. Did it not do well or something? Since it's getting rebooted?

And it won't have the word "Super" in the title.

Paramount Is Now on Board With a Reboot of the Power Rangers Reboot

io9 has confirmed that Paramount is in “early negotiations” with filmmaker Jonathan Entwistle (Netflix’s The End of the F***ing World) to reboot Mighty Morphin Power Rangers on the big screen. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news.

Unlike the aforementioned 2017 film, though, these Power Rangers would be less “Young Adult” and more “1990s sitcom,” like the original U.S. show. In fact, the current pitch “is said to involve a time travel element that brings the kids to the 1990s, and in Back to the Future fashion, they have to find a way to get back to their present,” according to the trade. Writer Patrick Burleigh (Peter Rabbit 2) is reportedly working on a script.

What's the point? The original Power Rangers movie was essentially what a big budget Rangers film should have been. Makingit more serious removes the charm and makes it something else entirely.

They're not making it more serious, they're doing the opposite.

Of course, Power Rangers has gone into serious territory over the years.

The excellent Boom comics though prove that "The 90s" isnt what makes the franchise interesting and a weak recycled sci fi plot will just distract from the main event.

Another day, Another Reboot. Why not give the first film a sequel.

Sadly, it didn't do so well.

They should learn from it and move onwards with a sequel. This half baked "Make it more 90s" bs wont help

I actually think a sequel would do better, especially because some of the actors are slightly more well known now.

But oh well...

Plus, Hollywood has precedent of sequels actually performing better at the box office than the original, sometimes retroactively turning the original into a bigger cult hit in its wake. (for example, Terminator 1&2, John Wick 1&2, Hellboy 1&2, or even Pitch Perfect 1&2)

Power Rangers 2017 wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. The cast was fine.

This is the same problem Superman is having. Cavill is amazing. Its not the actors that are the problem. Its the writers. Reboot after reboot is flat out lazy. Tell a good story. Try something original.

The Black and Pink Rangers are appearing in more stuff (didn't realize that was the Black Ranger who played Murk in Aquaman, the one who lost his hand). Plus with Ludi Lin appearing in Mortal Kombat, seems odd they'd decide this now. I'd have stayed the course and just cast a big name as Oliver (someone around the same age as the principal cast).

Red got more hype with Stranger Things, too.

And I hear the guy that played Zordon ain't doin' too badly for himself, either. What's his name gain? Cryan Branston?
