Young adults firing realistic looking guns with bullets is a serious no-go. The concept of death (in terms of a character dying during the show, not a "my dad died/mom died/whatever before you met my character") is also a no-go. Violence, especially too much non-costumed fighting, is also a no-go.

Saban Brands is trying to get Power Rangers back to the whole "helping kids be good people as they grow up" thing that they lost touch with sometime after the Zordon-era. Adding in death, more violence, realistic guns, and a swear word or two is not going to help them get back to that point, even if the older fans (which are not part of the demographic or make a realistic dent in anything sales-related or ratings-related thanks to the Internet) desire it so.

^ This. But I think they'd keep the angel wings, though. They just won't call them angels.
