And let's face it, the spider-man suit is FAR more iconic than the ranger suits are. I don't think there's as much of a desire to be faithfully accurate to the source material here as there is with something like spider-man. Especially since every iteration of the rangers have had different suits. This also needs to appeal to general audiences. 5 teenagers in spandex compared to five teens in really slick armor with lights.. There's no question which wins out. These rangers are also rooted in advanced technology.. Zordon, alpha, the zords.. It'd made sense that their suits are technologically advanced. They certainly look like they'd lend themselves well to martial arts movements. I know that people generally don't like change. But that's just the way it is. Iron man looks nothing like his original appearance, the transformers look nothing like their original appearances.. The x-men have changed, and captain America certainly isn't wearing his original costume. So, change and updates are par for the course. I loved the MMPR designs. The figuarts figures are some of my favorites.. But you know, I already have those, and I've seen them before. I'm totally open for something new, something updated, and something that looks more grounded in cinematic reality. I can understand why some people dislike these.. But I honestly never expected them to use the classic spandex suits. And hey.. Maybe they will use the normal suits at some point.. Who knows. |

I love these suits. I need to see the live action version of these. I have high hopes for this movie.

It feels like the worst of both worlds to me, personally, forcing in ties to draw nostalgia, but wanting to do their own thing and changing familiar things so radically.

I'm just not that big of a fan of them.

I was goofing around in Photoshop and changed a few things here and there. They're not perfect, but I kinda like the direction I was going with it.
Minimizing the amount of random splotches of color and yanking off the blue wires works a whole lot better IMO. I don't know what I was doing with the cuffs and shin armor, but it's a start I guess. |

I personally love the new suit designs in their entirety. Now, if only they had what looked like magnified versions of their Power Coins on their chests so as to homage the suits used in 95's MMPR movie, then I would love them a whole lot more.

Wait I just thought of something.
Didn't they say the suits were supposed to look "organic"? Because this is like the furthest thing from that. |

I think part of the reason I'm offput by the design is because of how the Red Ranger is posed. He just looks so uncomfortable and awkward.

Also, Sentai have different suits because it's basically a different universe with each installment (they're not connected, or at least they're not supposed to be). This new movie is clearly a retelling of Zyuranger (the source material for the original MMPR), and it's straying from that significantly. I didn't expect spandex (I'm not that daft). I was willing to accept and was looking forward to new, updated suits, but not these. |
