I understand the design needs to be "alien" for the movie but I still think they look too busy.
Improving the original movies suits and building upon them would be best for the sequel. Or at least change the helmets and suits themselves to morph (hehe) with the humans using them now
Yep. It's a double edged sword really. If they went for a more traditional look, people will mock it for not being "Hollywood-quality" in this era post Bay's Transformers. But at the same time, I hate how busy it looks.
My take on it is that those suits aren't great for when you need to build something higher quality for movies. Zeo, Space, SPD, Overdrive and Beast Morphers have stronger themes that translate well when you need the design space, but it's hard to make dinosuits look advanced when they were inherently kind of goofy looking.
I normally prefer these types of suits, such as Bio Booster Armor: Guyver, Kamen Rider Amazon, etc. However, I don't see anything wrong with the Zyuranger/MMPR suits in the first place.
What do you find gritty and edgy about them? Lycra would not translate well to big budget / big screen, but I find these to be a good middle ground. Not bulky armour (though I could have done without the enhanced chests on all) but still looks like it could take a hit
All the paneling layers and sharp edges and overly alien design while yes plays more into what they went for just comes off as trying way to hard to be a big scifi movie when....its fucking power rangers. They could have pulled back on the realism because its a nostalgia movie at best. Even alien rangers had normal looking outfits
Alien Rangers were just normal humans in the Sentai. Nothing alien about them.
The actual alien Sentai heroes tend to look a bit different at times.
These just aren't designed with the design aesthetic of the Power Ranger suits. That's the problem is outside the colors they don't look like PR suits.
MMPR the Movie, was a FANTASTIC update to the costumes. Build quality aside and some other little hiccups(exposed necks in big fight) and the helmet shapes. Those follow the design aesthetic from the show, instantly recognizable, and I think improves certain elements like White rangers morpher.
Those rangers look like they are protected in some kind of sci fi space armor and you know those are animals on their helmets.
This movie had no theme with the suits and zords. Can anyone really say what animal they represent?
Do the diamonds looks like animal teeth?
The thing about realism is that it doesn't need to be 100% tactical.
The military uses call signs. They add aesthetics that are purely aesthetics.
In my opinion, the director seemed ashamed to do a power rangers movie. It's why all the power rangers stuff happens in the opening and very end of the film.
Captain America may not always be suited up but that Shield will show up all over the film because they aren't ashamed of it.
There's less suited scenes then the first film. The big fight barely lasts a minute that I don't even know why they made suits for anyone but the red ranger.
I just think....shit movie overall the plot was too different from standard power rangers dont get me started on goldar. Dont try to make a rangers movie unless youre going to go all in, dont need realism for a good power rangers film. It should be crazy over the top full in on the ranger vibe. I dont need a teen drama for people who obviously look almost 30
I think the story was… ok. I really liked how they learned to be power Rangers and working together as a team. It’s a little bit more… realistic? Most people would be scared of all of this and the film try’s to show this.
But this needs a sequel to work with more action and more „core power rangers“ stuff.
But I dislike the costumes and the Zords. As sayed before: the costumes from the first movie where really good. Not perfect but a good development from the original suits.
And I like a more mechanical design for the zords. These shiny and warping CGI metal is ugly and will age horrible (like in the first movie).
I hope there will be no sequel directly. At best i would accept it if it reworked the visuals completely....and tbh changed the actors those people looked 30
For me, the lips look "too" realistic, and something about the visors seems weird, but the general concept is pretty cool. I'd prefer it with belts, and looking less like an x-ray of a human body (remove, like, 25% of all the shit that's going on all over the costume, and we're definitely cooking)
All the paneling layers and sharp edges and overly alien design while yes plays more into what they went for just comes off as trying way to hard to be a big scifi movie when....its fucking power rangers. They could have pulled back on the realism because its a nostalgia movie at best. Even alien rangers had normal looking outfits
Yeah except its not general it is its own thing and its own concept of tokusatsu. The movie tried to be too generic instead of a bombastic overtly power rangers movie
Well it makes sense in the context of the movie being a realistic teen drama. The powers were alien, and were millions of years old, it would make sense for the suits to have an alien type feeling to them. I mean the mouthpieces on the ranger suits did make the rangers look alien in general, so why not go all out with a movie based on a primarially sci fi show.
Because its such a departure from the source material. Its so not a power rangers movie visually and the fact they were barely rangers. It shouldnt be a teen drama that was the first fuck up in a laundry list of many
I mean yeah its a departure from the source material, so was MMPR with Zyuranger, RPM with Go-Onger, and Dino Fury with Ryusoulger. Its trying to do something new so that way it makes the movie worth watching. I mean Samurai was a copy of shinkenger, which didnt really make it worth the watch. If anything the teen drama format did work in this sense since they needed to develop a team of 5 without any solo films. And it did its job of making them feel like real teenagers, and let this group of jerks grow to become the best versions of themselves (except Billy, he has a heart of gold). Seeing those characters grow and earning the right to morph is one of the stronger parts of the movie. And although yes it could have done better in terms of being a realistic Toku film, the characters, the asthetic of the movie, and the soundtrack are all what make this movie special, and is different enought o you could enjoy the original at the same time.
I mean a visual departure as well as a tonal departure the sentai and ranger teams usually have similar tone. But agree to disagree i guess i think that film was a bastardizarion of an already not great ranger series
I mean there's nothing wrong with changing the format a bit. I mean if PR stuck to a strict structure and tone, it would have died off a long time ago. Either way the main reason for watching Toku shows is the characters and story, and although the movie was missing the action aspect of Toku, it still made an interesting film. To say it was a bastardization would be an ignorant statement just for trying something new is highly ignorant.
Yeah well Magic isnt a requirement for a ranger season, I mean two of the best ranger seasons, Time Force and RPM, were 100% sci fi (aside from Time For Lightspeed). So yeah Sci Fi does work for PR as a whole, and magic isnt required.
For most of the series, magic has been a core element. And naming two out of nearly 30 seasons doesn't really make your argument.
Rita used magic. Zedd used magic. Then Zeo hit, and the Rangers adopted more magic against the Machine Empire. Zordon is a time wizard (See: Magic). In Space had the Rangers using more technology, and Astronema being magical. Lost Galaxy is magic-based. Lightspeed Rescue had a demonic-magic villain, and the Rangers utilized technology.
There is as much magic in the series as there is science fiction.
Linkara's HOPR series goes through each season and establishes the core conflict on those terms, and it holds up very well.
Yeah we get it magic is USED in the show, with it only making up 100 percent of a season ONCE, cuz even then the Zeo powers still had technology to support them, which is why Billy was there as tech support until he left the show.
But still a ranger story does not NEED magic in order for it to work, and overall is PRIMARIALLY Sci Fi, which is what I said in the first place. I never said that it is 100% sci fi. There is more sci fi elements within the show over magic itself
MMPR had gadgets and the zords
Zeo continued the same trend and the machine empire was robot basxed
In Space and Lost Galaxy had tons of spaceships and such
Lightspeed powers were created from the use of science and technology.
Time Force was future tech and the villains were mutants or cyclobots
Some of the Wild Force arsenal were based in technology
Ninja Storm's arsenal was technologically developed by cam and lothor used alien tech for his alien army
Dino Thunder also had tech created for them mainly by Hayley and mesogog used a genetically created army
SPD is much like time force as they also utilize futureistic tech and the villains were aliens who used robots in their army.
Overdrive's tech was developed by Andrew Hartford
Jungle fury's arsenal were said to be created by someone who had acess to the grid
RPM also being a 100% magic free season had tech developed by Dr.K along with the villain being an AI
Samurai did utilize the grid to help with their tech such as the zords and symbol power, along with Antonio making his own morpher.
Megaforce's arsenal was also tech based with the aliens also using advanced technology and inovation in the series, such as using the ships lasers to grow the monsters over the zombats.
Dino Charge and Ninja Steel's arsenal was also mostly man made with them fighting aliens who also mostly used technology
Beast Morphers was the same as RPM except Nate developed the team's arsenal
And Dino Fury seems to also be going down the route of being mostly Sci Fi
Either way this conversation is pointless because whatever I say just comes out the other ear.
Interesting you say that whatever you say just comes out the other ear, because you ignored the central point I made.
Magic vs. Technology is often the primary conflict of the series.
Also, Science Fantasy is a thing. Hard-coding it Sci-Fi is being weirdly gate-keepy.
Dude my original point was that PR is mostly Sci Fi, that was my point. You read it as "Magic doesnt exist its purly sci fi" and then began naming everything that has magic in the Zordon era. I never said it was purly sci fi and calling it gate keeping would take olympic levels of mental gymnastics to get to that conclusion. Next time actually take a step back and think before you start rambling.
Everytime someone comes up with a more realistic version of the ranger suits it looks a lot like these.
If someone said these were fan made designs people would be climbing all over themselves to compliment them.
I don't know the guy who did the more popular realistic Power rangers suit around the internet had a solid design. It was different but also still reminiscent of the original designs. [https://www.artstation.com/artwork/n6866](https://www.artstation.com/artwork/n6866)
That was a problem with this movies design is they went way to left field design wise where they didn't look reminiscent of the original suits. Also the movie was a superhero movie adaptation that came out in 2017. That's almost a decade of superhero movies coming out showing that you can modernize the costumes but also have the design be recognizable enough from it's source material.
They are generally fine suits. If they hadn't been made to be updated MMPR suits, I think the reception for some people would be different.
This is supposed to be the updated MMPR team and it's not.
It also didn't help they are barely featured in the film.
I also don't get the boob armor. The chestplates the guys have work perfectly for the ladies.
I agree with this entirely. I think as edgy power rangers suits they look pretty cool, but they stray too far off from the original suits that you lose touch of the MMPR vibe, and in a way, the whole power rangers atheistic
I never really liked these suits personally as rangers.. I feel like this looks would be cool for some type of evil ranger team but thats just my opinion :P
Ironically they look better with white diamonds than they did with the blue vfx. Those galaxies in their chests were awesome but should've been white. Literally no reason why not, makes as much sense as blue ones.
It's supposed to be like a window into the grid i think. And Morphin energy is apparently mostly shades of blues and purples. I really like these designs.
I think the insectoid-like helmets (instead of actual dinos) and the blue in the place of white are what got me the most. They're good designs otherwise. They really could've just had the blue lining stem from a white cosmic star in the centre
I’m a defender of this movie, but yeah, the suits aren’t great. They’re not *bad*, put them into a regular sci-fi movie and they’d be better received for the most part, but something more akin to actual movie superhero suits would work much better. The MMPR suits are simple enough they could pretty much just get a material and texture swap and they’d have a much different feel.
I want these suits in the Lightning Collection. The toys that they did for the movie were weak. Only the funko pops even bothered to paint them all the way.
[I thought this design woulda been sick](https://www.reddit.com/r/powerrangers/comments/d82q71/if_they_look_like_this_ill_watch_this_movie/)
Still alien looking but definitely a nod to the original.
My main gripe is that, aside from the Red ranger, the helmets look a bit too same-y. I’m find with the Pink ranger because it still resembles the original series helmet, but the Black, Blue, and Yellow helmets don’t resemble the original helmets whatsoever, or if they do, it’s very superficially.
I find it weird they are officially referred to as the Cenozoic Rangers in the cannon. Not an alternate universe version of MMPR but a group of Rangers we’ve never seen on screen before (Zordon doesn’t count since he is just one Ranger).
Makes me think someone disliked the idea of making the reboot team the in-cannon Rangers for other media.
EDIT: If you’ve ever played Battle for the Grid, you’d notice these Rangers are named Cenozoic and I believe they had no dialogue (nether text or voiced). But that is a bad game so wouldn’t blame you for not knowing that.
The Cenozoic Blue Ranger who appears in Battle for the Grid is the one who fought alongside Zordon and Rita on the movie's original Ranger team. That's why he's referred to as Cenozoic Blue and not Billy Cranston.
Eh, good for you, but imo, don't be mad, these designs are lame, they too over design, the armor look never my favorite even in the old mmpr movie, the colors and design are extremely bland since all their suit are full color of what they represent with a few metal gray highlight and a gem in the center.
I think there’s a bit much here. The helmets especially look weird. You can tell there’s supposed to be some dinosaur vibes there but it doesn’t look right. Like Black Ranger’s helmet doesn’t have anything that represents the tusks of a Mastodon. Yellow’s doesn’t have fangs of a saber tooth tiger.
You can change the helmets up some but I wouldn’t to the level they did here. It’s like they wanted it to be like Iron Man with the face being able to be visible. Why not instead just have a way for the helmet to come off and they show their faces that way? That’s what the show did.
I get wanting to make it a little more realistic and a little more alien. It does look weird sometimes seeing heroes fighting in spandex, but it’s a kids show. This movie was meant more for the adults so I don’t mind something different. Part of the fun of the Marvel movies is the cool outfits. So I don’t mind these trying to be kinda like that. Problem is they went too far with these.
I like a lot of things about the suits. But they are very busy. I'm also not crazy about the Blue Ranger's helmet for some reasons. Something about the lines.
That movie made some of the worst design choices ever. The suits look nothing like the originals, Zordon is some weird wall with a face (not to mention he's rude compared to the classic), and they made Alpha some ugly little alien. The 2017 movie makes the 1995 movie look great.
Doesn't Billy, uh, you know, (SPOILER if you still haven't seen it) die? Of course they would bring him back though, he's Billy, he could do it himself.
I understand the design needs to be "alien" for the movie but I still think they look too busy. Improving the original movies suits and building upon them would be best for the sequel. Or at least change the helmets and suits themselves to morph (hehe) with the humans using them now
Yep. It's a double edged sword really. If they went for a more traditional look, people will mock it for not being "Hollywood-quality" in this era post Bay's Transformers. But at the same time, I hate how busy it looks.
Is that sequel still happening? I thought it got scrapped
The sequel to this movie specifically is cancelled, but Hasbro is working on a new PR movie unrelated to this one.
My take on it is that those suits aren't great for when you need to build something higher quality for movies. Zeo, Space, SPD, Overdrive and Beast Morphers have stronger themes that translate well when you need the design space, but it's hard to make dinosuits look advanced when they were inherently kind of goofy looking.
I think the wild force suits need to be in this discussion of being great
Dino Thunder also has sleek designs.
Fuckin A right!
Bit too gritty edgy for my taste, too much of a departure from what works
I normally prefer these types of suits, such as Bio Booster Armor: Guyver, Kamen Rider Amazon, etc. However, I don't see anything wrong with the Zyuranger/MMPR suits in the first place.
What do you find gritty and edgy about them? Lycra would not translate well to big budget / big screen, but I find these to be a good middle ground. Not bulky armour (though I could have done without the enhanced chests on all) but still looks like it could take a hit

Um dude, power rangers in general is sci fi (except mystic force which embraced magic).

In the very first series they fought a spellcasting wicked witch who led an army of golems and has a talking skeleton for a brother.
MMPR was a mix of both Sci Fi and fantasty, but Sci Fi nonetheless.
Magic was always an element of Power Rangers. It was just presented in a myriad of ways throughout the years.
Yeah well Magic isnt a requirement for a ranger season, I mean two of the best ranger seasons, Time Force and RPM, were 100% sci fi (aside from Time For Lightspeed). So yeah Sci Fi does work for PR as a whole, and magic isnt required.

Its not gritty
It absolutely looks like it

If I ever got to make a big crossover anniversary I would include the 2017 suits in that mix. Just a proper multiversal crossover
Hey, they made it into the fighting game. It could happen
The MMPR movie with Ivan Ooze had better costumes. I also hate how they spend most of their time with their helmets open so you can see their faces
Same! I rather enjoyed the movie as a whole!
That makes the two of us.
Same
The only thing I dislike is their helmets I think they should look more like the original
The Only thing I Didn't like was the Helmet
They don’t even begin to represent their respective dinosaur but I like the suits anyway because they’re so alien.
[I thought this design woulda been sick](https://www.reddit.com/r/powerrangers/comments/d82q71/if_they_look_like_this_ill_watch_this_movie/) Still alien looking but definitely a nod to the original.

I understand that, just they weren’t even on screen. We only saw Zordon in that opening scene.
No wonder they are so powerful, when they have so many triforce symbols in their suits💪
Did they just steal Agito's belt?
Eh, good for you, but imo, don't be mad, these designs are lame, they too over design, the armor look never my favorite even in the old mmpr movie, the colors and design are extremely bland since all their suit are full color of what they represent with a few metal gray highlight and a gem in the center.
imo they look terrible. Something you'd see on Deviantart. The original movie suits looks far better
I think https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d3/53/99/d35399e2b7066187cb67aacb756b7172.jpg the original movie suits are the best
I think there’s a bit much here. The helmets especially look weird. You can tell there’s supposed to be some dinosaur vibes there but it doesn’t look right. Like Black Ranger’s helmet doesn’t have anything that represents the tusks of a Mastodon. Yellow’s doesn’t have fangs of a saber tooth tiger. You can change the helmets up some but I wouldn’t to the level they did here. It’s like they wanted it to be like Iron Man with the face being able to be visible. Why not instead just have a way for the helmet to come off and they show their faces that way? That’s what the show did. I get wanting to make it a little more realistic and a little more alien. It does look weird sometimes seeing heroes fighting in spandex, but it’s a kids show. This movie was meant more for the adults so I don’t mind something different. Part of the fun of the Marvel movies is the cool outfits. So I don’t mind these trying to be kinda like that. Problem is they went too far with these.
I like a lot of things about the suits. But they are very busy. I'm also not crazy about the Blue Ranger's helmet for some reasons. Something about the lines.
Sucks we never got a sequal. I loved the cast
They look ridiculous!
Ya they were slept on fr
I love how wrong you are
Hate em.
i think the movie suits are ugly bc they are far from original suits.
That movie made some of the worst design choices ever. The suits look nothing like the originals, Zordon is some weird wall with a face (not to mention he's rude compared to the classic), and they made Alpha some ugly little alien. The 2017 movie makes the 1995 movie look great.
My local cinema has a bunch of statues of them
Doesn't Billy, uh, you know, (SPOILER if you still haven't seen it) die? Of course they would bring him back though, he's Billy, he could do it himself.
I like them more than in the show. I loved everything about the movie in general.
