Then why isn't the guy who plays red black haired? Or the girl playing pink not have the same hair colour as Kimberly?

Race is okay to homage but not anything else? Also, the original team didn't have Adam and Aisha. I have no problem homaging JYB, I love JYB as much as anyone, but this sin't really the right way to homage those characters.

And last time I checked Kimberly wasnt of indian descent

Changing the race of a character should never be a big deal as long as its not a fundamental aspect of the characters background and or personality.

Exactly.

BTW, I think the new guy looks cool. I actually think he'd make a better red ranger than the other guy. He just looks serious and tough. But calling him an "homage" because of his race is, um, not all right.

He played "Earl" in the indie film, "Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl"

[GreenPsychoRanger]

So he makes our second or third blue ranger?

[Guyver Spawn]

I hope these actors can act. I know PR has been known for having bad acting, but this a big budget movie. People have high hopes for it and I hope they can pull off the rangers personalities.

His comment on instagram:
Visit concept for Power Rangers' Megazord. The director thought it'd be cool to see the Rangers from outside. As per my previous PR concept art, this won't be made...unless the director they picked steals this idea...then we'll know who he got it from

So Trakeena cosplaying Maleficent, Dr. Manhattan with frostbite and a T-1000 Cylon.

Neat.
