I’d prefer they commit to either doing an MMPR reboot or a truly new story with original characters. Trying to half and half it is just bizarre.

Some alleged details are making the rumour mill on social media about the reboot. Take with a grain of the usual. 1. 60 minute episodes 2. Entwhistle is still attached, will write/direct the pilot 3. Based in Angel Grove 4. Tommy leads the team, BUT...will betray them later on 5. Suits will differ from the MMPR costumes. "Tommy betrays the team". Sure, that would work. Using the most popular character to be the antagonistic, and doing "character assasination" is terrible, from a narrative standpoint. That worked wonderfully in Luke Skywalker, Picard, Batman in Suicide Squad game, the MCU right now, and the list goes on. Hollywood really has terrible ideas.

Ya I just want some dam official news so we know for sure what is going to be what. Like others I rather not harp on mm again and what not. If we are going all original footage suits etc.... how about we just do it like how sentai is and every series he it 1 or 2 yrs come up with xyz concept and theme. Like how current sentai is car theme, the last one was what bug theme, police theme, then the old standard of dinos, space, ninjas/knights.

"Tommy betrays the team". Sure, that would work. Using the most popular character to be the antagonistic, and doing "character assasination" is terrible, from a narrative standpoint. I mean to be fair the most memorable and iconic thing about Tommy is that he was the Evil Green Ranger.

"Evil Green Ranger" was iconic, but also he switching sides to join the rest of the Rangers. And probably he coming back as the White Ranger was also iconic. I think it wouldn't exist in the memory of the people if he was just a bad guy for 5 episodes.

Yeah but according to this ‘leak’ he rejoins them again at the end. So like, it’s in essence the same arc.

The arc is: Tommy being evil to being good. Not being good, to being evil, to being good. Unless You have an absolute good reason to betray the team, which for observing the quality of writing in this modern era, I don't have a lot of faith on writers of Hollywood these days. Unless people still believe that evil spells are cliché. Which I would prefer than some stupid writing, like WandaVision and some crazy Stockholm syndrome from the characters.

This is not what I wanted to happen to Power Rangers. Modern Hollywood don't believe in pure escapism and entertainment anymore, EVERYTHING HAS to have a political messaging. They deem any western IP that's been around for decades as "Problematic" meaning they hate the fact that most of the said Ip's beloved entries and beloved characters are ones where the lead character is a straight white male. They truly believe we Power Ranger fans only like Tommy because he's a straight white male, so this reboot's plan is to knock him down a peg and forced feeding us their terribly written character who happens to be either a woman, person of color, or a member of the LBGTQ+ community, or in most cases all three at once. Hollywood really got mindfcuked ever since Trump got elected.

Well, I just hope for the best. But several YouTubers took acount of the rumors of the "woke reboot" and probably gonna be maligned if it happens. Just I want people who liked Power Rangers for what it is, not people who said "this was problematic, let's make everything X and for modern audiences". I just want Power Rangers to be good. Not gritty, not for modern audiences, who the F are them, not stupid, just fun. Superheroes saving people. Again, I'm watching Boonboomgers, and it's silly and fun. And so sincere in its intentions. No pretentiousness, not trying to be gritty, not for modern audiences or whatever. FUN, people. It's so hard?

No pretentiousness, not trying to be gritty, not for modern audiences or whatever. FUN, people. It's so hard? Of course they fell for the rumored "woke reboot " and can you blame them? Look what happened to Star Wars with that acolyte trailer and almost every project Disney gets their hands on. They and other companies mentality in modern Hollywood is to (quote Kathleen Cartman) put a chick in it and make her lame and gay, and if you hate that, you are a bigot and they believe that fans wanting nothing more than compelling storytelling, compelling characters and their development and good writing somehow equals white supremacy. Its pathetic. I agree with you on Boonboomger, but I decided I'm not watching the show until all five members show up. At least Super Sentai knows what they are doing, unlike Power Rangers...in comparison.. Its been 1,566 days since the unnecessary reboot was announced. 4 years (thought it was 6) 3 months, and nearly 20 days....and not a damn thing to show for it. And before anyone the now pathetic excuse of blaming Covid and/or the recent strikes, here's another comparison... The Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon, didnt have a pilot ordered until September of 2019 (before Covid) and Season 1 premiered on August 2022. Season 2, which hadn't entered production at the time of Season 1 airing, is scheduled to premiere Summer of this year. This reboot ain't happening, and for their sake it shouldn't.

Power Rangers is dead. Thanks for a combination of things, some would blame the Neo Saban era, others the Hasbro attitude, but in the end, the result is the same. Power Rangers is now like M.A.S.K. Just collecting dust in the Hasbro library, if they want to grace the fans with some reboot someday. I don't trust Hasbro. At all. I prefer Saban and his "this is for preschoolers" input than Hasbro trying to fit for "modern audiences". I want Power Rangers to be good, but in the Hasbro's awful hands, I don't have any single hope.
