I'll say this, everyone wants the next Power Rangers movie suits to he spandex or rather Black Panther or Spider-Man-ish, but this movie basically nailed the suits. Like I want to see the classic Ranger suits, but with armors, BUT still retain the core designs of the show.
If anything I liked that the 2017 movie went with armors, just the design itself is not great Back in the day though watching this movie as a kid I remember being angry that Kimberly sits on the front of the Megazord cockpit haha. Nowadays, it feels very unique seeing the Red Ranger sitting on the side.

In terms of suit design, there have been plenty of times where things have been changed up, yet still faithful to the overall design philosophy of the original suits: The movie armors, the V2 suits, and even the comic-original redesigns. All have had their own flavor while in themselves looking great.
So I really have zero idea what they were thinking when it came to the suit designs of the 2017 movie.

Funnily enough I have actually been doing a thing for a couple of months or so now of rewatching an episode for each or most of shows I've finished from Sentai,Rider and now I'm actually on to Power Rangers! When I finish I don't know if I'll do other toku or maybe even other genres of TV show but I may have been partly inspired by various long-running UK TV shows doing a similar thing due to the lack of new content last year!

So because i have a commute for the month, I've been checking out Power Rangers Hyperforce! I never got into it at the time because I lacked the attention span to focus on a D&D Podcast, even in the background, but for a leisurely 45 minute cycle, it works pretty well. And, while episode 1 is a little slow to start, I'm enjoying it reasonably well. I'm midway through Episode 3 (I would've finished it today, had I not been pinged for COVID and thus have to isolate), and the interactions between the rangers are cute, the use of ranger lore which isn't just MMPR is cool (although we have crash landed in MMPR time, it still feels like it's own thing, not treating the whole thing as a big deal, probably helped by it being Ernie's and not the Power Centre or something), and while the sometimes unfocused nature is offputting, I guess that's just part of the deal with this kind of livestream.
Anyway, Vesper best ranger.

I absolutely love Hyper Force. Eddie is hands down my favorite Blue Ranger in the franchise so far.
Hoping you enjoy it as much as I did!

Update
Beast Morphers (Episode 11) Dino Fury (Episode 12) Watching Power Rangers VIA Netflix on my I Pad. Is Nick done with Power Rangers? I saw #08 Unexpected Guest yesterday so I wanted to ask. I'm watching the last new Dino Fury episodes this week. Watched the first 8 Episodes of Beast Morphers on Daily Motion so picked up with Silver Sacrifice on Netflix.

~DS' Movie Tour~ Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie Fans have always disliked this movie, and I have zero idea why. No joke, I love this movie almost as much as the first one, as it has a ton going for it that I feel goes unappreciated. First off, and this is the big one for me: This movie, like the first one, really feels like they trying hard to go for an adventure on a much grander scale than that of your typical Power Rangers episode. In this movie alone you have aliens, magic, interdimensional travel, demonic pacts, jungle expeditions, haunted ghost ships, new villains, new powers, violence more intense than what had been seen in Power Rangers up to that point(lots of choke holds in this one!), and a kid superhero, all at once! Wait, what was that last one? Ah yes, the moment that would live on in Power Rangers (in)famy forever. Justin, the new kid, replacing Rocky as the Blue Ranger. I never got the hatred for Justin. He was overall a well-rounded character, and this movie helps to serve as a nice introduction to his arc which would be dealt with in Turbo proper. I never once found him annoying or distracting. The film has a great sense of comedy to go along with its adventure aspect too. There's of course the legendary scene between Divatox and Rita that everyone knows about, but there's a handful of other, smaller gags that never fail to get a laugh out me either. Highlights include the mustard gag with Lt. Stone, and Justin not knowing the proper way to Morph the first time he attempts it. Not to mention half the stuff Divatox herself says. This film also puts a bigger emphasis on practical effects than attempting to do giant CGI like the previous film did. And even today alot of them look great! Whoever did the effect for Divatox's' submarine especially deserves a raise, because the scenes of it traveling, the sets designed for its interior, just everything about it was pulled off great! What CGI the movie does use is kept simple and actually looks alot better as a result, such as the magic sparks from Lerigot and the Rangers summoning their weapons for the first time. Overall, I found alot to love about this movie, just as I did the previous one. Great action, great effects, great character moments, great comedic beats, a great musical score, and a wonderful introduction to a season that would unfortunately prove to be divisive among the fanbase. Many fans know about the Director's Cut that was buried deep down in Saban's' vault, and I agree that it is a darn shame that we're likely to never see it, because I feel like it'd make an already fun movie even better. Atleast we've managed to see glimpses thanks to the wonders of social media. Great movie, just like the first one.

I agree that T:APRM is just as good as the first movie, even though (controversial view) I'm not actually that big on either even though as a kid in the early 00s I saw them on DVD and shown on TV on various occasions! When I first saw that first Turbo morphing sequence I thought it was one of the best I'd ever seen and I just always preferred Jason to Tommy in general lol. I just think it'd be a bit sad if people hated it solely based on Justin when to be fair, MMPR:TM is not that great and at least T:APRM was actually in continuity and I quite liked the zord fight too!
