Last year when the gritty fan-made Power Ranger movie dropped it set the bar high for what Hollywood could produce.  Obviously the studios were looking to capitalize on the obvious Pacific Rim parallels and when the People tweeted the first look of the bad-guy Rita, it had seemed that they were getting it right.

They also got another thumbs up for ditching the racist color choices and realized that just because you are a Red Ranger you didn’t have to color code your entire closet to match 24/7.

The hot take hitting social media today is that the new suits are a departure from the “source material.” That take seems laughable given the source material was dog shit footage from a Japanese TV they stole and filmed scenes with the American actors.  Come on people get real.

The first thing about these new suits I noticed is they are still sexing up the female rangers.

The nice thing here however is it appears you won’t just be fantasizing about the Pink Ranger this time as Yellow Ranger is going tits out for the boys too.

Do they resemble Iron Man? Sure but if we’re going to pretend Power Rangers are a real thing it would only make sense that they roll with an Iron Man flair instead of the previously worn spandex and motorcycle helmets.  I’m sure they have movie theaters in Angel Grove, it wouldn’t surprise me if Zordon had an “a-ha” moment when he went to Iron Man.

Side note, happy Cinco de Mayo
