So one of the many rumors that circled around a couple of weeks ago was reports of a script read that put the Power Rangers Movie in to the current continuity. The Morphin Grid was the focus point of the story and featured the Power Rangers Dino Charge losing to a returning villain - Scorpina and her new army - causing a new team of heroes to rise - the Movie 2017 Power Rangers.
Originally leaked was a script that seemed to reboot the original idea of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - with Zordon and Alpha 5 assisting five new teenagers with attitude in becoming Power Rangers to battle the evil Rita Repulsa as she attempted to use a gold mine to bring life to the villainous Goldar. With the cast reveals, we're not getting character names. So who knows which side (or either) is correct. So our question is - do you think the Power Rangers 2017 Movie should be set in the current continuity, or would you rather see it as a reboot? Vote and discuss why!

Reboot. I think the movie will be a very lose adaption/retelling of MMPR similar how the first Transformers movie was to G1.

I dont care either way, but I would rather see a reboot instead of trying to shove more into what little continuity we already have.

I'd prefer a reboot. Provides a cool opportunity to explore the origin of the Power Rangers in a new way.

I voted "Don't care either way" but really what I feel is that I'll like it anyway.
But between Lacre and Ludi's casting (Naomi's too to a lesser extent), and us not getting character names, it feels less and less like we're aimed at a straight traditional reboot. Another interesting theory I've started hearing (no site to peg this to, just on Facebook and stuff) is they might be doing a reboot but giving us Rocky Adam and Aisha instead of Jason Zach and Trini. |

I'm okay with either, but the in continuity intrigues me. The Dino Charge rangers being the protectors of the morphing grid is cool and we get to see what the morphing grid looks like. A returning villian coming back and avenging Rita and Lord Zedd by destroying beating the current rangers is a original idea. I'm also more of a fan of the Power Rangers beings adults like the current ones than being teenagers since it feels more realistic.

I wouldn't say reboot, as my experience with DC have left me to feel that it always supplants the old version.
Let's just say it's separate, not tied to the existing timeline but not replacing it either.

No matter what a company says when they say "It's not a reboot, it's just a re-telling" it always means "Please don't be mad at us old fans, but we have no intentions of every revisiting the 'original' story ever again."
Tell me one time they "retold" something that didn't eventually turn in to a reboot. Transformers? Reboot. GI Joe? Reboot. (except the IDW comic that's probably nearing cancellation) Ninja Turtles? Reboot. Batman Begins? Reboot. The only instance I can think of in recent memory that was a reboot but still kept the original in place was Star Trek, which actually brought original continuity Spock to the new retelling version.

Though if this does happen, gives me an excuse to watch Time Force on the big screen eventually.

I wouldn't mind it being something like Star Trek that's both in continuity and a reboot.
