From the sounds of things, it looks like we're getting a complete reboot. I'm not sure how I feel about this.

[Isaacduke]

We are all ancient, it doesn't matter what WE think.

[Big Fresh]

Can't believe it took this long.

[J.T.]

I'm surprised it took this long.  The Pink Ranger and the Yellow Ranger were just waiting to join Bella Swan, Tris, and Katness Everdeen in the Tween Girl Goddess pantheon.

[T.Rex-n-effeckx]

You can't just replace Bulk and Skull.

[Raziel]

No Amy Jo Johnson, no Peace!

[E.J.]

Because we need another reboot of something from the 90's.

[Cobra Commander]

I stopped watching around the time they switched to Zeo. I'm guessing nothing of note really happened in the 15 years of PRs after that, right?

Still waiting on my Street Sharks movie reboot.

[Big Fresh]

How come there's no more Mutant League???

Where's the Xena reboot?

My sister had a strange ability to have crushes on gay celebrities as a child. Her crushes as a girl were Lance Bass, Ricky Martin...and David Yost the Blue Ranger.

So I hope he is somehow involved in this so I can torment her.

[Ligerbusa]

Everyone knows the real star of Power Rangers is Goldar. Just have Goldar wrecking shit up.

 

And keep Michael Bay away so he doesn't cast Megan Fox as Rita and Mark Wahlberg as Zordon.

[Tromatagon]

I hope they film this shit next to my house like they used to with MMPR.  I basically walk my dog in Angel Grove Park.

 

The neighborhood kids were like the smart marks of Power Rangers, knowing Tommy was the white ranger before anyone even knew there was going to be a white ranger

[Reed]

Movie pitch: Mighty Morphine Power Rangers. They're power rangers AND heroin addicts too!

[Bustronaut]

Rita Repulsa would actually be a good fit for Megan Fox. It's not like MMPR is known for its acting.

[Brian Fowler]

Oh, it's extremely well known for it's terrible, terrible acting.

 

And for pre-teen crushes on Amy Jo Johnson and everybody loving the Green Ranger.

[Matt D]

Yeah, actually this is one where I could kind of get behind Bay directing.

[J.T.]

Bay's ridiculous over the topness would actually be a plus instead of a negative here.

 

I co-sign Megan Fox as Rita.  She would be so bad it would be great.

[Craig H]

Oh, it's extremely well known for it's terrible, terrible acting.

 

And for pre-teen crushes on Amy Jo Johnson and everybody loving the Green Ranger.

 

Man...Why did everyone love the Green/White Ranger? Count me in on that as well. Was it just because he could single handedly fuck up all the other Rangers?

 

And the other weird thing was that they clearly had something special with the Green Ranger, and later the White Ranger, and then he would be written out of the show.

[Burgundy LaRue]

I'm surprised it took this long.  The Pink Ranger and the Yellow Ranger She-Ra was just waiting to join Bella Swan, Tris, and Katness Everdeen in the Tween Girl Goddess pantheon.

 

Yeah.

[J.T.]

I blame the idiodicy of American lack of acceptance for the excellently campy Masters Of The Universe movie for there not being a She-Ra spin off.

[J.T.]

 

Oh, it's extremely well known for it's terrible, terrible acting.

Jason David Frank was the tween chick magnet without peer.  Straight up solid gold Tiger Beat. 

 

He brought in the teen viewers of both genders: girls wanted to ogle him because he was a handsome kid and boys loved to watch him fight because he was an amazing martial artist that could actually brawl.

 

Most of the other lead guys had personalities like came across like cardboard.  Frank had charisma.  Girls love bad boys.  Smartest piece of casting ever done in the history of the show.

 

You wouldn't see that again until Phillip Andrew showed up as the Lunar Blue Wolf Ranger.

[Raziel]

Frank actually brought in viewers to one of the later series (Dino Thunder) because he came back as the same character, just older and started as the mentor, then became a Ranger again.  Decent series.

[Bustronaut]

Did he bully any actors out of Dinothunder?
