I mean, we did so well with Godzilla the first time we took a shot at it, what could go wrong with Power Rangers?

Heels are ridiculous, granted, but when it comes to boob armor, every crease is a structural vulnerability given to buckling easier, so really, boob armor should be one large, round, gently curving uniboob. Or, you know, I guess, a standard cuirass that bows out more at the top for the boobs, instead of at the bottom for a beer gut.
I mean, that's more or less what I said.
If they MUST keep a feminine style boot, why not do them like the Wonder Woman design for the BvS movie and make them more like a raised platform shoe than a high heel?
"Look at all this money Lionsgate sent me! And I don't have to pay a cut to Toei because it's an entirely american production based on an american property!" -- Haim Saban, probably.
Odds are, like the first MMPR movie, this has been licensed and most the creative say is out of Saban's hands. No major studio is going to want a Dino Charge (or even an original or next team) movie, they want the super-hero summer blockbuster audience which means making the nostalgia play with mmpr, and updating it to make sure it's cool and "not lame and childish."
Both are horribly impractical. Just ask my ankles.
Not to pick on you, Ash, but every time I see someone write this, they clearly have never tried it. When the heel is elevated 2 inches or more from the ball of the foot, it effects even basic walking. I want every costume designer who thinks it's a good idea to have to wear them in an active role to have to spend a high school gym class wearing them and then see what a "great idea" it is.
Fair enough. They may only SEEM less ridiculous than heels, while in fact being just as terrible. There's a reason the female rangers in the show all get the same boots as the guys and it's probably to keep from running out of stuntwomen.
From what I recall (and feel free to doublecheck, call me out on this). The suit actors for the women tend to be men half the time for stunts, I imagine it's one of the reasons they keep the miniskirts.
Here's a handy chart to tell you which rangers and female antagonists had stuntwomen (Pink) and which had stuntmen (Blue)!
That's only up to Gokaiger (Super Mega Force) so it's missing 5 shows (6 if you include Akibaranger).
That would be an interesting take: redeem Rita in the next movie, where she's teamed up with Lord Zed, and have her become the Green Ranger. It would go over well.Maybe they're gonna make Rita the Green Ranger.
I have no idea, but that's what the costume seems to imply, and if that's not what they're going for, something needs to change.
Strictly speaking, there really isn't any reason why the villians couldn't be using the Morphing Grid for their powers too. There are and have been evil Rangers in the past, though all have eventually been redeemed.
And hey... anything that keeps TOMMY OLIVER out of this series...
Man. I missed the Power Rangers boat, I guess. I never saw the appeal back in the day so this thread reads like a foreign language to me.
The Tommy Oliver magic died for me around Dino Thunder. When he was just a classic character, it was one thing... then they brought him back as a main character on a sub-par series. He's literally had -5- sets of powers (Green, White Tiger, Red Zeo, Red Turbo, Black Dino) and the writers love to switch him between them for absolutely no reason on reunion/cross over episodes. Even in the Super Mega Force finale he does it... he saves a kid using Saba and the White Ranger helmet appears over him (to signify his status) but he's using the Green Ranger powers (you know, the ones that got DESTROYED?) during the final battle. They couldn't even settle on one set for a SINGLE EPISODE.
That said, I have no problem with Jason David Frank or his desire to revisit the character. I'm just sort of tired of what that character has become under a succession of writers who ether don't know better or don't care.
They are making a "Grudge vs. The Ring" movie (Sadako vs. Kayako) and I'm laughing so hard. I can't wait to watch this mess 
Last scene needs to be Freddy and Jason assaulting the audience in the movie theater.They are making a "Grudge vs. The Ring" movie (Sadako vs. Kayako) and I'm laughing so hard. I can't wait to watch this mess
They play it so serious for most of the trailer, and then ... holy shit, this is hilarious.They are making a "Grudge vs. The Ring" movie (Sadako vs. Kayako) and I'm laughing so hard. I can't wait to watch this mess
For some reason the trailer for Sadako vs. Kayako reminds me of another recent Japanese film called Terraformars, which is apparently based on a manga. It starts out looking like a fairly grounded-in-reality sci-fi flick, and then it goes off the rails, and then it goes WAY off the rails.
I have wanted a cinematic version of Avery/Cooper's "Planet Provers" series for a very long time.
But by all that's box-office gold, this is not it. No! Not it!

An article about why Gremlins 2 is so great? SOLD!
(Personally, Even though I'll admit the first Gremlins is the better movie in terms of overall structure, Gremlins 2 is my personal favourite for the unending amount of gags. I watch both of them back-to-back every Christmas with my nieces. Obviously, the sequel isn't a Christmas movie, but you kind of HAVE to watch them back-to-back, right?)
