The nostalgia stuff is fine, it's the borrow-from-BTTF part that makes me say "Why?".

One of the corner stones of nostalgia is Stranger Things, and while they've been good for what they've done, they do need to hurry and finish.
However, a bad thing about nostalgia is that one can spread the love for what once was a little too thin! It doesn't matter if it is '80s or '90s. It's possible that the near obsessive love for MMPR and the public condemnation of "Power Rangers is some crappy little kids show from the '90s that has lasted longer than it should've" could've influenced Hasbro's decision, and it's no secret that Captain Marvel could also have an effect. That too capitalized on '90s nostalgia. I don't have too big a bone to pick with the time travel idea because time travel is always HOT (even if Avengers: Endgame used it while simultaneously throwing shade at all OTHER fictional portrayals of time travel)! Anytime a Ranger Movie is released, I will go. I will go in with glee and hope things meet my expectations, which I will try to marginalize so as to not disappoint myself. Ultimately, I didn't see an interest (in addition to not having the money) in buying the 2017 Movie toyline. I am hoping this movie will have designs worth spending a bunch of dollars on. Given the time travel aspect, I anticipate designs that merge modern aesthetics with the '90s flair for all things garish. Given how The Toys That Made Us made certain, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the public at large can at the very least be aware of the existence of Super Sentai, I see the possibilities of more overt Easter Eggs as HIGH! I am not ready to de-canonize the 2017 Movie, however, as CW's Crisis has revealed that everything can be made to connect no matter how indirectly. It wouldn't be hard to do a cross-dimensional team-up movie if this one succeeds. I also fully expect Hasbro to say that this is just another universe in the Rangerverse, not unlike Dino Charge or RPM. I await further news! |

For those not understanding what I am saying, that is a potential triple-decker of an easter egg that highlights Mr. Mochizuki's involvement in Zyuranger, Kamen Rider J, and Sailor Moon.

No one wants a reboot again. Just keep it in the same universe as the show.

Also this: Quote:
All they gotta do is fly Yuta Mochizuki as the cameo, have him wear a tux and play the role of a pro poker player who holds a Jack of Diamonds while having his hand in a "J" shape just before Rita's putties invade the casino for Krispy Kreme. Toku fans get up in unison and begin standing ovation in the theater while the non-toku folks look dazed and confused. The rest is history.

It'd be amazing if they made a Shattered Grid movie. Or heck, if they really wanna bank on the MMPR nostalgia, just do a "25 years later" movie for MMPR with the original cast. Although I suppose that'd have the unfortunate effect of confirming that Trini is gone in-universe(although in my experience most fans consider that canon anyway).

Honestly with how disconnected and loose everything is, the Lionsgate movie could fit into the wider PR universe as easily as Samurai or Mystic Force.
