I think part of it has to do with net profit, since dropping 100 million to only get 100 million and 1 dollar back isn't exactly what any company would call a gain.
The 1 dollar is an exaggeration, since most companies wouldn't even call getting a million back after dropping 100 million a gain. Additionally, aside from marketing, perhaps taxation has something to do with it? Spend 100 mil, have a profit of 50 mil, I'm sure taxes will take a fair chunk of change from that 50, hence why it needs to have a full 100% profit in order to be seen as a success? I dunno. Movies are weird and when I look it up, people are writing effing novels on something I don't even have a passing interest in...

Yeah... to be fair, what else would you expect from Hollyweird?

My guess: Remnants of Goldar forming around his creator.

...You know, the more I think about it, the more I can see the logic behind Goldar being what he is. I mean, I don't think it's the be all, end all solution, but I think having Rita having a minion or really any companion with a real personality would actually be detrimental to theme. Rita has no one, the Rangers have each other. Rita's golems are absolutely obedient, the Rangers need to adapt and grow to trust and care for each other. Basically, they need Rita to not have any other major personalities to be in alliance with her, no true friends or allies.
Of course, I'm still questioning whether I'm making excuses for the film-makers or not at this point. Although, there is something to be said about me wanting to make sense of the film, rather than just lambasting it for not doing so. |

This makes me wonder if Rita could build an army of Goldars.
Since it is just a mindless, humanoid blob of material, in this case gold, other than raw materials, there shouldn't be anything stopping her.

As I said, it's not the perfect solution, but...
Let me try to explain it this way. I don't think they could include a Goldar like the show version, but they still needed to include at least some of Rita's henchmen from the show, just for nostalgia's sake. I mean, this version essentially IS a giant Putty. It's just got a special name and is made with special material. Mind, having a giant mindless beastman would of been my preferred choice, but what we got... for what it's meant to do, it works. It's not ideal, but it could of been MUCH worse and it at least makes some form of sense. Plus, the making him out of gold angle leads to the bizarre, yet kind of cool, horror detour. I mean, I certainly didn't expect THAT of all things. |
