-Implying that Saban actually cares about the franchise and it's fanbase beyond how much money he can milk from it.

Power Rangers are "six teenagers in goofy colored suits fighting monsters from both inside and outside six giant robot animals that combine into a bigger robot" to most people. And that's exactly what is being presented here whether you like the visual style or not.

In fact, my mother (someone who has never shown even the slightest interest in Power Rangers) saw the first trailer and is actually anticipating this movie a lot more than she thought she ever would. She told me that "it looks like a real movie, instead of just a bunch of guys in silly costumes shouting cheesy catchphrases," so obviously what's being shown here is clicking with a wider audience than you might think.

The prevailing attitude I've seen outside of this forum is "Looks like Iron Man","Looks generic" and "looks lazy" and people defending the movie for being "different" and "grown up" so basically the same as here.


Ofcourse it is it's regurgitating every popular Hollywood movie from the last decade that's how they're hoping to sucker people into seeing it.
