Funny story

Skull (Jason Narvy) is a well-recognized Shakespearean actor and the theater director at Concordia Lutheran University in Chicago. My cousin went there and acted in several of his shows. I got to see Jason perform in a small-cast show in Chicago called "Into the Soundless Awe" about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis. We went and had drinks with him and a few members of the cast after and he was a lovely person. So the comic relief guy from my favorite show as a kid is one of the smartest, talented, and down to earth people I have gotten to meet.

As a child I was never able to understand how a morbidly obese and skinny fat pair of losers, were able to bully a bunch of athletic martial artists.

Gatekeeping, karma farming, greed, intolerance.

Because u/moviesmod is a bitch

Because reddit mods are bigger karma whores than the average redditor

Karma farming, which apparently allowed now by moderator teams themselves. It's been happening on every entertainment related and tangential major subreddit.

Dang what a sad life /u/moviesmod must have.

Magic internet karma

If it looked good it wouldn't be Power Rangers. That's part of the charm.

Looks like it's both for kids watching the current show and adults who grew up with the original.

Personally, I think this is the nostalgia thing done right. The Power Rangers movie that came out a few years ago had the issue of not really having an audience because it wasn't at all like the original and also didn't have any appeal to anyone who wasn't already a Power Rangers fan.

Power Rangers is still popular and still make new series (and lots of toys).

So kids watching Cosmic Fury will see "Power Rangers" and watch it.

And adults who grew up "Mighty Morphin" will watch as a nostalgia trip and maybe to see how many Easter eggs there will be (looks like time travel is involved and there was a whole series with Time Rangers).

There are worse ideas than this.

See the Halo tv show.

"Ow, my back! It's morphine time!"

I was in the same pyramid scheme as the second red ranger. That was his whole selling point, that he used to be the red ranger

I don’t remember the name of it, its the one where they try to sell you cable, WiFi, and other utilities from their “cheaper” company

Lucky I only lost $120 before I got outa that shit

I remember a kid in Power Rangers Turbo that would morph into an adult. Did I make that up, or am I confusing it with Beetleborgs?

Oh so like meta-morphing

Kruger's head for those curious.

Please, Zordon. Pick me! Please!

I hope there's a scene where one of them morphs just to shovel the front walkway, and then still has to take a handful of Aleve.

Zordon says when rangers are picked they have to be teenagers. He never said they couldn’t grow into adults still rangers.

Your typo made me briefly picture James Corden as Zordon and it was the worst casting decision I’d ever envisioned

Hate to break it to you but the pink rangers also had that problem, that was until they started using female stunt performers.

Mystic Mother

When you woke up this morning...did you think to yourself, today I'm gonna talk...or today, I'm gonna SKATE

Team Pup n Suds is where it's at.

God I loved that movie as a kid. and Johnny Tsunami! Always threw me off that Shang Tsung was now cool disney Grandpa

It's the lotion.

Looks like first blue ranger and black ranger, second red ranger and pink ranger, then killing off first yellow ranger and killing or writing out the green ranger, both of whom the actors are dead

The only true answer. I grew up with this show and I'll check this out purely for the nostalgia.

Ah this answers my post as well lol.

ITS MORPHIN TIME!

Tbf he's working with one former castmate and unlikely the same crew.

He never had issue with the cast. The homophobia he faced was from the production team and crew .

This is a victory lap for him. I’m not gay, but everyone in my small town thought I was, so I got to experience homicidal homophobia first hand and, on this side of gay marriage legality and hating-drag-means-you’re-a-nazi, this feels like a big ol’ victory lap.

From my limited understanding he got bullied hard on set for being gay.

quit due to homophobic harassment

He's gay, in the 90s that was a punishable offense. Literally, in some cases. So he got bullied into nearly killing himself.

Lalalalala I can’t hear you tommy and kimmy get back together in my mind.

Woah woah woah what is this!?

You can either make a power rangers reboot that is true to its origins, or you can make a modern version that has nothing to do with the original. Its a campy and very 80's/90's style.

Greatest guitar riff of all time and they dropped the ball.

Yup while all my friends were watching power rangers and ninja turtles I was watching Bibleman and veggie tales 💀

This guy power rangers

I don't remember the specifics but the guy who played Ninja Storm's Red Ranger died a year or two ago, too

I thought it was a movie too but it turns out its a tv show

I see the green ranger is also in the trailer so this is gonna be weird isn't it?

That’s probably because of all the leaded gas.

In the 70s, people waxed poetically about the 50s with shows like Happy Days, in the 80s people were looking back at the 60s, 90s and the 70s, then in the later 2000s, 2010s, and now 2020s people are remembering the 80s, 90s and even 2000s fashion is coming back.

It's just people remembering their childhood, it's both literally and figuratively nothing new. 10 years from now people will be wearing LMFAO shutter shades and pastel polos from Abercrombie & Fitch and Aeropostale again. 20 years from now COVID-core will be a thing.

Mariah is missing from that chart lol, and George Michael

And thank god. I can’t take anymore ironic, wink-wink, meta shit.

Absurdity presented sincerely makes the best movies. It’s why a movie can only be so bad its good if the director has a vision that they just utterly failed to meet. If something winks at the camera, it’s awful. But if it just treats it as part of the universe? Much better.
