I also like you two chaps better than Dom or whatever his name is. Though I don't think either of you should speak for him, especially if this is supposed to be "for the fans."

The new trailer is good, but uh... kinda all over the place. I hope there's some better clarity down the line when the episode is released.

I still don't like the direction it's going, I don't think Power Rangers needs to be mature, as the campiness and whatnot make it what it is, but I'll continue watching to see what unfolds.

Hey Mnemonic....good to meet you. I don't presume to speak for anybody, only for myself...and I'm a pretty straight shooter.

I won't speak for Dom, nor will I try to defend him to anyone who's never met him. I don't mean that in a bad way, but why should I bother? If you don't actually know someone and you've made a decision about what type of person they are, how is someone else that you don't actually know going to change your opinion? I'll leave that at that.

I honestly never read the first trailer as Zedd having killed the girl....I always read it as she screamed because he ripped her doll's head off.

As for the teaser, there's only so much you can do with it. You're making a minute and a half trailer for a fifteen minute episode...so showing the audience roughly 8% of the total film without showing them too much can be a bit of a challenge.

In regards to the mature aspect of it, as I said, everyone will have their opinion. While I agree completely that the campiness is a huge part of Power Rangers to this point, we have been promoting it as a "reimagining". If we were just going to make a fan film of what's been done already, I'd probably just pull out of the project. What would be the point? The people who want to see that already have it. However, there is a large group who have always wanted to see something like what we're doing, and this gives them that opportunity, while not taking anything away from those who love it just the way it is. It's not for everybody. And that's cool. But our intention is to provide something that hasn't been done, or not on a bigger scale at least, to a large group of people who have wanted to see it...not to force people who love what they already have to watch something that they have no interest in.

That being said...I'm glad that you're giving it a chance. Let's be honest...worst thing that can happen...you don't like it and you lost 15 minutes of your life. What we're doing is not saving lives....we're making movies, trying to entertain as many people as we can, and hopefully the folks who don't like it will just do what I would do...watch the version I prefer or watch both. Thanks again for the post!
