You're so wrong here, it's hard to know where to even start. International box office is where movies make most of they money these days. Between Russia and China, we're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue, just for incorporating gay characters.

Let's break down foreign box office number for a similar movie based on a toy-driven nostalgia property, Transformers: Age of Extinction. (This is just for reference, I'm not saying Power Rangers will make anywhere near this amount of money domestically or abroad.)

Russian Box office for that movie was appx $45,000,000.
Chinese box office for that movie was appx $320,000,000.

That's $365,000,000 in lost revenue had they decided not to exhibit that film in China and Russia alone due to gay content (purely hypothetical, as that movie did not have any gay content, surprise surprise).

Compare that to the film's US domestic box office, which was appx $245,000,000, a paltry sum in comparison. Now tell me again that American movies are made for America first.

You have all these strong opinions about stuff that is verifiably, factually incorrect, and you're clearly not interested in educating yourself before running your mouth off.

It's very difficult to have a conversation with you when you consistently misunderstand, and at times flat-out reject, reality.
