I'll just leave this here.

Huh... okay.

He's got a point. Exposing some fifteen year olds to near-constant violence and combat, forcing them to live a double life that keeps everything secret from anyone they may have as family or friends, giving them super human power which they could use to crush a person's face at will...

...I can see how that would be traumatizing.

I don't know wether I should be impressed with production values ( was that Katie Sackhof and James Van Der Beek? ) and the choreography or wether I should mourn the violation of one of favourite childhood franchises.

[Alan Rickman]

This is amazing.

[Volourn]

Never cared for the Power Rangers, but with that 14 minutes I'd be interested in a movie with the same kind of concept... but, Sir Vanderbeek suriviving.

That's true of a lot of superhero origin stories though.  Bruce Wayne saw his parents get gunned down.  Peter Parker got bit by a radioactive spider and starts shooting webbing from his wrists - isn't puberty hard enough already? Does anyone else remember the Marlo Thomas & Friends sketch where adolescent Clark Kent finds out he's adopted?

 

Love the video.  James Van der Beek just keeps getting better.  I thought it was a fun "tribute" to the Power Rangers.

 

And I didn't know Orlando Bloom threw a punch at the Biebs.  Man, I'm learning all kinds of stuff today!

I don't know... it's one thing to have something HAPPEN to a teenager and have them embrace it as part of their duty to fight crime or whatever. But in MMPW, they specifically CHOSE teenagers to give super powers, secret identities and giant weaponized vehicles. Even outside the initial episode, whenever they had to "fill the gaps," they always chose kids, usually YOUNGER kids (Vanderbeek's character, Rocky, first became a ranger at 12).

I mean, they could just as easily found some 18-25 year olds, but Zordon specifically asks for "five teenagers with attitude." That's kind of messed up if you think about it.

Dude you know it must have been tougth. as kids they all looked 30.

 

Any way this reminds me of an RP i had a few years back set in a world where the Rangers failed. and a new crew of Post apocolyptic kids took over. 

[DeathScepter]

nice, I like this a lot.

That's a valid point.  I guess this brilliant film is just its logical conclusion when you look at it that way.

Needs more Bulk and Skull.

 

And their theme song.

 

[TheClonesLegacy]

Yeah, when you get down to it, the concept behind Power Rangers is kinda child soldier-y.

 

With the exception of Lightspeed Rescue, because they were adults, and run by the government.

And SPD and Time Force, since they were cops.

 

A few other exceptions too (Ninja Storm technically). But those three come to mind.

Agreed but everythink needs more Bulk & Skull.

I don't think 18-25 year olds would adjust to the constant violence as well as teenagers could.

[Fast Jimmy]

I don't think 18-25 year olds would adjust to the constant violence as well as teenagers could.

Well, that's the rough average age of most active military members who are deployed, so that's why I used it.

Why do you think teenagers would be better equipped?

It's mind-boggling to me to think of how many different iterations and versions of the show there are out there.

20 years worth.

[Sully13]

Abd there is the new big budget movie.

Don't forget the original Japanese versions.

 

Five teenagers with attitude?

 

More like.

 

Five dinosaur tribe people from 170 million years ago that have to wake up and fight a witch and Satan.

That's like a total metaphor for my life.

Yeah... I think this clip would be the best movie they could make.

[Some Geth]

They should just make it like the Super Hero Taisen movies.

 

But they should also get Godzilla and Ultraman.

 

And Japanese Spider-Man.
