I really hope it's a sequel to the 2017 movie and by using the words "Follow Up" it sounds like it could be!
I was surprised how much I enjoyed the movie considering how precious the original MMPR are to me but it was really well done. Yes the outfits and zords looked a bit...'alternative' but I grew to like them and with such a great character development established in the first movie then the sequel can really just let us enjoy them being Power Rangers. I really hope to see Power Rangers: Green With Evil become the official sequel to the 2017 movie with an all returning cast and story. |

A G.i. Joe 3 has been in the works for years & yet we still have yet to get a g.i. joe 3. If they can't get the 3rd g,i, joe going or even a new g.i. joe cartoon then i do see a power rangers 2 coming.

Power Rangers is a much bigger property than GI Joe.

The general aesthetic of the suits and zords were likely the worst aspect of the last movie. They didn't gel well with the characters, they were a result of current overly-realistic overdesigned models ala Bayformers, and they just looked plain bad. Good thing they only appeared for like 10 minutes and were overshadowed by the excellent chemistry and character building.
Earth influenced suits would have to be a later thing. Like how the original series changed suits every so often for upgrades. So in comparison, we likely won't see full new suit design until a Ninjor cameo for that upgrade, or a Zeo movie. Plus it gives Hasbro a chance to do first movie suit design with all-new figures.

You sound like one of those people that complains about diversity in Star Trek, or politics in Star Wars when both franchises are literally founded on those concepts from the very beginning. Quote:
The GI Joe movies outperformed the Ranger movie. The toylines are about equal on performance doing better based on trends of the time they were released in. GI Joe's dip has to do with other trend factors of the market, which is why Power Rangers is on a potential upswing coming up. This does mean that power rangers has the potential to outperform GI Joe 1 and 2 though. GI Joe 3 is a wild card though. But I'd consider them on par to each other if they are marketed right and hit the right chords in their respective material. Both deal with different trend factors they have to balance and work through. So comparing them because of the different genre appeals isn't really all that fair to begin with. GI Joe is military, and military films have different trend issues to deal with because of various issues of the time. You can see how the various factors play to the mentalities of the time in when they gained footing and dominated the market, to when they started their downswings, and that's essentially how market trends work to cater to the zeitgeist subconscious for the market. This is why power rangers is on a potential upswing in the market because of the current trends of right now and the reality escapism kids are looking for that anyone can be under the mask or redeemed/chosen to be a hero. Which is more reason why Green needs to be an all new concept, and something else needs to be introduced alongside it to balance that. If handled right, this Power Rangers sequel could reach some pretty decent return levels. The hype is stronger for seeing a green ranger and dragonzord, and there were large chunks of the audience wanting to see a "green with evil" movie instead of an origin one. So there'll likely be an increase there too because of that. With some minor tweaks to the main mecha designs, which would make sense anyway as the story progressed, this could go even farther. Suit designs likely won't alter much though. These are the Ranger suits of Eltar, not earth made ones. Earth new designs would have to come later because of the way the lore is built. So we likely won't see that until they get to a Zeo movie if it makes it that far. It's in development. With likely PR2 getting released before it.

Yet the suits performed really well in merchandise sales. So that's likely staying. The aesthetic fits to the concept of the lore itself. These are the ranger suits of Eltar. Not earth ones. So for the lore, they need to look moderately alien. Though they may get some minor tweaks as the coins and Zords also respond to the subconscious of the Rangers themselves(but in the minds of the characters, these are what the ranger suits are supposed to be). But likely won't change much as the arsenal is still relatively alien in origin and things like Jason's power sword are still of Eltar type design, so the suit would have to match. So mostly we'll see some changes in the Zord design as it'll have the new combination elements integrated better. With likely some mild changes there in outward form of the zords, but keeping relatively the main animal designs as used for now, with character centered changes to the outward appearance of the zords based on how the coins feed the zords from the Ranger subconscious and will. (As suggested in the lore.)
Earth influenced suits would have to be a later thing. Like how the original series changed suits every so often for upgrades. So in comparison, we likely won't see full new suit design until a Ninjor cameo for that upgrade, or a Zeo movie. Certainly understand why they're like that, just wish that they took it in a very different direction. Again though, the strength of the previous movie was in the character building; so that's where most of my focus will be and what's most important. I think it says a lot when something as minor as the suits and zords are the worst problem lol

The thing that people don't mention much about Power Rangers is that it's really just good writing all around. Great character building, world developing stuff.
It's not perfect, but it spends a lot of time letting the audience get to know the cast before jumping into the action. |

I do hope that the sequel has more fighting. They already established who each of the rangers are so I wish they do not retread those waters.

The general rule of thumb for Superhero movies is that the sequel is always better than the original because they don't have to deal with the origin story.
Now that we've got that out of the way then hopefully they can make a good second film.
