True fact though, the yellow ranger was played by a man when in the suit as in the Japanese series the character was male.

As far as I remember there was nothing to flatten down in the series because all of the people in the costumes were Japanese men, not just the yellow ranger. :lol:

I want this to be good, I was, and in some ways still am, a huge Power Rangers fan but I have a sinking feeling this will be like the Transformers and Ninja Turtles movies. I shall keep alive a tiny glimmer of hope though.

There are also times when you can make out the Yellow Rangers schlong outline.

I believe they were all men apart from the pink ranger that was a girl. Although there appear to be differing opinions on that. What I didn't make very clear was that in the Japanese version the yellow ranger was a male and only the pink ranger was a girl which is why the yellow ranger suit didn't have a skirt.

That's right in Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger (the series the initial run of Mighty Morphing Power Rangers is based on) the Pink Ranger was the only girl and the Yellow Ranger was a guy. Not sure why they changed it in the West.

Toy version of the new Megazord.

Well thats gooseberry fool, looks like they ruined this, not surprising but it is disappointing.

I massively disappointed by that. Looks awful. I was happy with the trailer and the possible tone of the film though but the megastore looks awful. I could accept it if it was supposed to be a bad guy that they would be fighting but that it.

Sometimes it seems like Hollywood just want to be different just because.

How can anyone say that trailer is good? Its absolutely awful isn't it?!

That Megazord looks awful. :dread:

So generic and...blegh. :fp:

And it doesn't even look like it's 5 toys combining into one like the original toy.

This is another toy version of the Megazord, looks like that one is a cheaper one.

It does look considerably better but there's still nothing iconic about it like the original.

I was a huge power rangers fan growing up and have always maintained an interest in the original stuff and I like it, yes its all a bit 'teen angsty' and clearly trying too hard to be dark and gritty but I don't really have too many issues with that.

Its a tiny improvement but its still not good. Its a big shame as I thought the casting was decent and while the tone the trailer implied wasnt classic Power Rangers I was prepared to accept they needed to change it. Modelling Megazord on Michael Bays transformers is a terrible idea however.

I thought it looked good. Although it did have a twilight and hunger games vibe about it, which isn't a good thing.

Yeah I was hoping they'd go for something more traditional looking. I think the original Megazord/Dragonzord designs are pretty iconic - the dinosaur imagery seems to have really been lost with this new film and I think that's a shame.

Could be worse though, could look like this :shifty:

what is that? Biggus dickus Zord?

Still a better Megazord than the other abomination.

Here's a fan mockup of the original but made dark and gritty
