Too bad we can't recognize what the fuck their helmets are based off.

And that's exactly what is being presented here whether you like the visual style or not.
To hell with logical evolution that respects the source material whilst building off of it in a way longtime fans can appreciate. Lowest common denominator is all that matters!
Why make a Power Rangers movie for Power Rangers fans? What would
they
care?

...so obviously what's being shown here is clicking with a wider audience than you might think.
You say that like "the wider audience" is anything to be proud of. This is the same audience that makes the Transformers movies billions of dollars.
Would making the costumes less alien and more reflective of their animal motifs really alienate audiences? Would making the zords actually look like robotic animals really alienate fans? Would making Alpha look more like a robot and less like a night terror really alienate audiences? Would havine a ligther tone akin to GotG really alienate audiences?
You act like appealing to fans and the masses are mutually exclusive concepts, but they're not. They could've easily made a movie more in line with PR whilst still makign it consumer friendly. Hell, maybe they could'e actually attempted to update and inform the public's perception of Power Rangers at it's best rather than callously and cynically alter it it with an extreme in the opposite direction.
This complacency with Hollywood tropes and trends kills me, and it kills cretaivity. Everyone's so God damned afraid of going against what's proven to work they won't bother seeing if anything else will. Except we know there's other ways to do it. Again, GotG proves that you can have a much, much more jovial tone and audiences fucking
loved
it. The excuse that the idiot masses can't accept anything different is not only conceptually flawed, it is
proven
to be incorrect.
