I had a "love-hate/hate-love" with the PR17 (as Den-O refers to it as).

I saw possibilities in addition to the "NOT-MY-PR" sensibility.

I have my concerns with PR17 being so slighted by Hasbro, but as everyone has said, it isn't surprising.

The Twitter Feed for PowerRangersNow (www.powerrangersnow.com) is also something to check in on regarding this, because the fandom apparently took notice...which isn't all that surprising!

However, I don't view this as a total loss either, because the we are essentially in the days of the P.R. Multiverse, and if the fan-reaction is strong enough, then perhaps, one day when Hasbro starts something that works, maybe we can do some dimension-hopping and either supplant Hasbro's Movie Rangers into the World of the '17 or the PR17 can hop over to the Hasbro "Movie-Verse"!

If you don't like the designs of the PR17, then bring that cast back in a more refined format. Remember, the context of that movie had the team using what was essentially "recycled crap" from Zordon-17's OG Ranger Team! Who's to say that Neo-Jason didn't come back for the Power-Sword-17, lose it in battle, and have Billy design something totally new for the team to use, including new suits and redesigned Zords?

I don't see this as a "total, complete, unwavering, absolute" final answer! It's not a total defeat!

An unchanging fact remains: That movie did HAPPEN! We see it everyday with Legacy Wars Mobile Game...a game which also did a crossover with Street Fighter...and I would be willing to bet that there are some people who would like to see a Hasbro-Capcom collaboration with Ryu-Ranger (no relation to Dairanger Red)! To do a live-action/animated/comic crossover, both Hasbro and Capcom would have to acknowledge that the Ryu-Ranger form was first introduced in Legacy Wars...and that game was made with the intent of advertising the franchise with PR17 taking center stage!

No matter what Hasbro does with the official canon, we can always remember, and always hope.
