I really hate the American versions of those costumes. They're just so poorly constructed and ill fitting compared to the Japanese version. Just look at those drat necks.

The new movie Power Rangers are ripped right out of Mass Effect.

They've also managed to make the costumes hideously busy and boringly monochromatic. It's almost impressive how terrible they look.

Based on her colour scheme I'm certain that Rita will morph into the green ranger at some point during the film.

Even as a kid, I didn't buy the lycra bodysuit + bicycle helmet combo. I'm hoping that the new movie is gonna be a departure from the usual super sentai stuff, the only way it's going to be good is if the director puts his own spin on it and gives us something that plays off of the original series but still ultimately finds its own voice.


for people

So, I'm curious. Did you even want people to discuss this with you, or were you looking for people to just agree with your and pat on the back? From your tone, condescending manner and dismissive blowing off of other people's opinions, it seems basically the latter.

But srsly, this movie would suck if they got the best screenwriter and director because it is still based on Power Rangers.

I think it's one of those things where if you watched it when you were a kid, you might think it was really great. I wouldn't be surprised if kids nowadays thought Thundarr the Barbarian sucked -- it didn't colonize their brains at the right time.

I love power rangers a million more times than most do. I watched every episode for the first like six series. I had every toy for years. I recognise that I am biased as hell.

That being said, half the fun was the terrible wire fu, the dumb bursts of sparks that happened when a plastic weapon hits someone, the terrible acting. The source material, once "rebooted" and updated by a committee of ad executives, is going to be unrecognisable and any take on the power rangers is going to super suck. This is the 2016-2017 version of the GI Joe movie, which is fitting, since those armored costumes look like something the Joes would use in GI Joe 3: Cobra Rising Again.

Normally I roll my eyes at 'fan theories' like that, but the design language for her outfit is so similar to the ranger suits that I'm pretty convinced of this one.

At least Thundarr had Jack Kirby involved.

Power Rangers had a black kid from Detroit as the Black Ranger. At least they're avoiding that with the movie I guess.

It's that or she creates the green ranger, like in the show. The other obvious thing is that their suits could easily be "corrupted" into Lord Zedd so he's probably going to be a "fallen former red ranger" or some poo poo like that.

Is there any other redesign that's comparable to Cooke's Catwoman? It's a complete departure from anything that came before, but has become pretty indelible as the way Catwoman looks. Sadly that's partly because he made the cat-collar zipper a big feature which lends itself to lazy cleavage shots. But when he or Stewart drew it? God-drat it's perfect.

Arguably Bill Fingers transformation of Batman from a blonde guy in a red shirt into the actual Batman but I don't think Kanes version ever actually made it to the page.

I don't really care about the power rangers movie either but the costumes are breathtakingly terrible no matter what they're supposed to be, like I bet if I asked someone to make lovely costume designs for five heroes and a villain on purpose it would take talent to get ones HALF as garbage looking as these.
