My biggest issue is that it looks like every pretentious, angsty, teenage misfit movie made today. I see no difference between this, a Bayformer film, and a DC film. They look like they are all filmed by the same people. Why are movies today so afraid of color?

Kids today love being big ass edgelords or pervs (Micheal Bay especially caters to 14 year olds iirc), though at least the Rangers have different colours :p

You can probably thank Marvel's garbage cinematic universe for that. Considering they release 10,000 of those brain-dead movies a month, they have the colorful, glittery, rainbow theme on lock. Hollywood lacks nuance, and opposing studios more than likely choose to go the exact opposite direction in order to desperately differentiate themselves.

I also at least give Michael Bay credit for knowing how to shoot a movie cinematic-ally instead of looking like shitty television shows IE most of the MCU. To be honest Hollywood is probably more interested in today's angsty teen, than yesteryear's angsty adult desperate to recapture their childhood.

Do you have any input on the trailer itself?

The exact opposite? Sony and Universal are doing their damnedest to make their own cinematic universe, with Universal aiming to bring back the "classical' monster movies like Wolfman and Frankenstein, in an effort to copy Marvel. What the hell are you snorting, or do you come from some separate universe entirely?

If so, how's America's election looking over there?

Ok i am so soo happy we got a trailer. But no Zords. Not cool..

I like the Marvel/DC films. I like the transformers films.

As to the angsty teens. The original team with attitude were damn near perfect with Tommy being the odd one out. Of course he turned perfect when he became the white ranger.

I think some people forget that being a teen sucked. These tropes don't reappear because it worked for Breakfast Club. They reappear because that's what teens are like. Yes they have dialed it up here and there.

The teaser had to take us from normal life to not normal life.

I think we are so used to the rangers who are young adults(if not hitting their 30's). They aren't in school. They have jobs. They deal with adult problems and adult fears.

Seriously they slowed the HS stuff down in Zeo. Nearly lost it Turbo. Abandoned it after the 3rd episode. We didn't return to HS until Dinothunder. Even then they were barely show in class. We don't again return to it until megaforce. Writers use HS as just a place or tend to falter on anything class related.

Now if I see a ranger sit in detention while their friends are getting killed, eye roll.

Oh look, a "I hate the Marvel movies because they're popular" shill. Cool story bro, but the adults are talking here. :lol

Anyway, for the conversation going on, I to liked the first Bayformers movie. It wasn't amazing, but it was entertaining. Revenge of the Fallen was crap, but no where near as bad as how Dark of the Moon turned out. Oh my god that movie was pure A dogcrap. Not to mention how many times was Megatron just going to be ordered around by someone? It really should have been called Megatron is Everybody's Bitch Trilogy.

I know this is only a teaser, but I just don't like what I see because it's way too serious looking. I mean, we're talking about a series about grown ups in rainbow colored spandex that fight alien monsters, IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SUPER SERIOUS!! Hopefully the next trailer shows the fun aspects of it and that these kids lose their pretentiousness.

I see nothing with a serious take on Power Rangers as long if it's done right. RPM and Time Force did a serious story but still had humor throw in. I doubt the movie will be dark and gritty with no laughs similar to the Nolan Batman movies.

I'll wait for the movie before I make my decisions.

I do have to agree in some respects for some of the comments. There's a definite 'look' that gets adopted in a lot of these movies. I call it "Pottering". You can guess why. I do think it's possible to make a movie that actually has color in it. But the specific look stems from making the movie appear to have tension through a type of lens used. Makes it appear gritty, more 'realistic'. Unfortunately, it also gives me a massive headache, literally.

The Transformers topic belongs on TFW. I have my negative druthers about that movie franchise, and I'm a massive collector and fan, but in the grand scheme of things I'd rather treat MMPR as it's own attempt to bring this to everyone who forgot or didn't know the series. It's not just a movie for me.
