Power Rangers is show i have a lot of feelings towards. My personal favourite Power Rangers show is Dino Thunder but i like the other Power Ranger Seasons for the most part.
When regarding this Power Ranger Reboot, i am scared but also looking foward to it.Powe Rangers is my childhood and i think it deserves a good reboot but here is my problem. I just don't think a dark and serious Power Rangers Film would work as well as others think it would work well. Power Rangers has always been not very serious and always had that camp factor that i feel should not be changed with the reboot.
I am about to talk about an anime but before you go onto that hate train, please hear me out. I feel the best comparision of what i personally would like the Power Rangers Film Reboot to be is well..Gurren Lagann.
For those who don't know what Gurren Laggan is well it is a Japanese Mecha Anime that pretty much ressurected the giant mecha franchise in Japan but also the states. What makes Gurren Laggan as good as it is is one simple fact - it's over the top and when i do mean over the top that is no sheer understatement as the final battle involves the main villain throwing galxies at Simon - the hero.
Gurren Laggan is the perfect blend of Fun, Great Charcters, Seriously Moments, Hillarous Moments and Great Action. While most of the time it does not take itself seriously it's still an enjoyable ride from beginning to end. Power Rangers should be like that to me - embrace the camp and brace the stupidity of it and unlike reboots like TMNT which tried too hard to be realstic turn Power Rangers into bat shit insane action romp that has a great script, plenty of laughs but also plenty of action.
On the other hand i do not want the Power Rangers Movie to be like the Transformers movie which only focuses on the action. I want heart and i want charcter. That's the big difference between Anime like Gurren Laggan and Transformers. While both have huge action scenes, Gurren Lagann actually has some heart and soul put into it while Transformers is just simply made to make more money. While over the top action and humor is great it also needs a good script and charcters in order to make itself shine and become a great movie.
I do not want a gritty Power Rangers Movie, for a series like Power Rangers i feel it would much better if they make an over-the-top action fest. Hey you know why that stragety for a movie has worked well look at Kingsman which never took itself seriously but still managed to be such a great film that pepole are praising it so much, They can make a Power Rangers Movie with the explosions and Over-the-top action of Gurren Lagann and the humor of Kingsman. It's not impossible - you don't need to made it dark and gritty in order for it to work. Kingsman showed this wasn't impossible so please studios don't turn it into another TMNT - please don't screw this up.
This is just my stance on the Power Rangers Reboot and why i feel it should not be dark and gritty reboot, if you agree or dissagre please comment.
