I always thought it was because of the nudity. The funny thing is now more little kids will want to see the film, just because it says unauthorized and violent.

Good. It was an original fan film that didn't use any copyrighted material but re-imagined existing ideas for fair use and criticism; it was an experiment that achieved its goal for the most part (though I'm starting to think that people now will hate on anything that tries to be a little darker than the PG-13 corporate safe zone).

Also if Power Rangers fans of the older material don't like it, then don't watch it. This movie obviously wasn't made to appeal to your childhood.

The 2016 movie is going to be an unebelievable shitty garbage.

I don't get the hype around it. It's a pretty generic action short.

What i want to see is a live-action Looney Tunes film with human actors.
Yep, you read correctly.

It isn't terrible, but to me it just isn't Power Rangers. It's not who they are. They shouldn't have an "R" rated film, and I really hope the reboot isn't too dark or gritty.

Why does the video have to achieve to some sort of subjective perceived 'point'? It's a fan film that was created with the intention of deviating from the original tone.
I feel as though the increased presence of nerd culture in film has increased the feeling of self-entitlement in fanboys who have an aversion against artistic expression.

In short, stop whining.

It's definitely not mine's alone.
But i would love to be wrong.
Hopefully it's a straight reboot that embraces all the source to an extend and it's a good film and fun.

This film isn't even that good! The action sequences are nice, but the plot sucks! Rocky?! Why?!

It also craps on the idea of Power Rangers. The Lionsgate/Saban one will hopefully be along the tone of the original movie - light hearted, but more serious than the show

I didn't like it. Cool effects and choreography, but I didn't like it. I just hope that this was completely Kahn's take on the Power Rangers and not just another film that felt like it had to be super dark and gritty to be an uber version of the Power Rangers.

I just watched the short, and it was utterly amazing for a short film! If only the original cast could've been used! JDF and Saban are WAY overreacting to this. It's a fan film and it DID bring the spotlight back to the Power Rangers franchise! Everyone other than fanboys either didn't know or didn't care about the new Power Rangers film that will be out next year. This definitely gave it some much needed publicity! It even has its own hashtag for crying out loud!

Now, do I want the film to have the same take as the short? Absolutely NOT... BUT, a perfect balance can be met to satisfy this new generation and our generation, which initially made this franchise so popular. Instead of Saban being upset, they should be grateful! They literally have to do no research as to what the people want! Everyone has now voiced their opinions, now all they have to do is execute.

JULEZ13 - 2/28/2015, 10:51 AM
I can't believe how people are reacting to this. So much hate, meanwhile everyone loved and praised that horrible "realistic" take on Mortal Kombat (the initial short, not the web series) and many even called for the film to be in that way, completely negating the entire concept of Mortal Kombat!

Why can't people appreciate this Power Rangers short the same way they did with the Mortal Kombat short?
Invictor
Invictor - 2/28/2015, 10:54 AM
I think Saban's actions were justified. If kids were to see the video, the first time around, they would have seen a lot of stuff that would be deemed inappropriate and Saban would have received backlash from parents, especially since the show still airs on TV.

I thought the film was awesome. Think of it like an elseworlds tale - it may not be the definitive take on the characters, but it sure was fun to see a new take on a classic franchise!

^This is it folks.
Also, Disney improved Power Rangers.
Saban is regurgitating its past mistakes...eyeballing you new PR

From the director of Taylor Swift's Blank Space comes a dark and gritty Power Rangers movie. . .Doesn't that sound weird
ComicFan523
ComicFan523 - 2/28/2015, 12:04 PM
For what it is it's good. I wouldn't want the reboot to be like this, though. Too dark in tone for a Power Rangers film. Still, its interesting how someone could take a kid friendly show like Power Rangers and turn it into something so dark like this.

The Power Rangers TV show was crap,I could get into this though.

I always thought Power Rangers were [frick]ing stupid.

But the fan film was awesome.

NovaCorpsFan - 2/28/2015, 3:35 PM
Just found out that Steve Cardenas, the guy who played Rocky the second Red Ranger in Might Morphin', is gonna be at Dublin Comic-Con.

How much of @LEVITIKUZ's childhood can I destroy? How big of a Buffy fan is he, 'cause Xander's gonna be there too.

Fry, Xander and the Red Ranger. Man, I hope it crushes him.

I've also never seen Buffy. You thinking those 2 things will destroy my childhood has me like...

We'll see what the further guest announcements are. Never know, Doug Jones could end up going. That'd [frick] you up bad.
