Loosely...LOOSELY based off the property its based on in some bland attempt to attract 'new' fans and hope to cash in on 'old' fans if possible with nostalgic names and stuff.

That is a VAST exaggeration. Myself, and to pretty much every friend of mine who was never into Power Rangers in the first place, can still clearly recognize all of this as Power Rangers. I don't understand the echo chamber happening around here where everyone is saying "that looks nothing like Power Rangers!" when clearly the casual audience doesn't care how we define the franchise. 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.
