I really don't want this.
This live action movie is going to be the dark reboot we'll get and already I think it's too much. You just can't make PR dark. |

Wait, you mean that thing wasn't satire? It was called Power/Rangers. With a "/". And the whole thing was really over the top. I could've swore the whole point of it was to make fun of Hollywood/fans for demanding goofy nostalgic properties get "dark" reimaginings.
Like, the idea that anyone would produce something like that in earnest seems impossible to me. |

I didn't say they can't make the villains an actual threat. The Gorma in Dairanger, the Youkai in Kaku, Bandora and her crew in Zyu, and the Rinshi in Geki all show you can have fun while keeping the villains threatening.
I'm talking about the tones and the spirit. I don't need the rangers to be angsty pretentious jackoffs just because it's the cool thing to do. If they don't want it to be that way, then guess what, DON'T CALL IT POWER RANGERS because it ain't. I think the point of what Power Ranger is (tone, spirit) is quite known (and therefore not out of touch) and instead of being embraced it's being completely ignored. That's my only point. Quote:
They don't get the correlation that superhero films and their related media are pretty much the same across the board. They like Power Rangers, and so they want to see a more mature take on them, even if it doesn't fit their characters. I'm excited for the movie because it just looks good, but I personally appreciate the camp of what I grew up with. But you go to the MMPR movie page and read the comments there and its people who are excited for the movie because it's what they think it's how it was growing up and it's not. Quote:
Well...that's what the Lionsgate movie is for so this reboot is really unneeded.

You can make Power Rangers dark just not too dark. For proof look at RPM and maybe Space I have not seen Space in years so I am not sure if its a good example. Power Rangers can be dark but it takes a lot of effort to balance dark with the spirit of the series to make it just right.
