I want a legacy version already, but did you had a chance to measure up the bluefin white ranger version?

Welp

Ewwww, what is that? It looks gross.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Completely killed any hype I had.

It's not that bad. It's not clunky or anything. Looks more like the Pacific Rim style instead of clunky versions. The anatomical aspects are somewhat jarring but it's not terrible.

I wouldn't hate it as much if it had a Megazord face.

It looks nothing like the power rangers. I can draw a sweet looking robot and call it the megazord if you'd like.

It fits with the new movie style. There's no surprise here if you have seen the coins, suits, etc. This fits with the style they are going for. It definitely has the alien tech quality. Im not saying it's gorgeous but it fits.

It does fit what they're going for, but that doesn't mean it looks good. The suits, helmets, coins, weapons and Megazord don't look like traditional Power Rangers designs.
We have 20+ years of Power Rangers all following a relatable design. This movie doesn't fall in line. They don't look like Power Rangers. It's like a Batman movie and they give him a red suit without the bat or ears. But it's batman, right? There's just some things that are classic. Superman wears an S on his chest. Captain America has a shield with a star on it. The point is, Thor looks like Thor, Wonder Woman looks like Wonder Woman and Iron Man looks like Iron Man.
If we accept a complete redesigning of the Power Rangers, and one that is pretty ugly, we are giving up our iconic characters. They can just slap a name we love on anything and expect us to buy into it.

Honestly that looks more like Rita's moon castle became a zord. If that's the Megazord it's completely uninspired.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah... it definitely has the alienness...

....ok.... I guess don't support it then.

 

[Chapter 2099]

There's another version of the Megazord aside from this that looks much better.

So far, I don't. I don't plan on purchasing anything from this movie. I'll probably go see it and give it a chance to win me over, but I'm not buying merchandise already, like you.

 

[Chapter 2099]

It's a reboot - so I give it credit for re-imagining things - but deviating too far from the source is going to cause some problems.

This is going to cause some problems.

How old are you? I'm wondering if you get frustrated when things don't go your way. Does it suck when people don't agree with you?

 

[FirstPick]

How old are you? Lots of passive aggression tones that typicall occur with someone in teens.

I imagine I'm in the same age bracket as the rest of us. I'm 29 for a few more weeks.
Not trying to be passive aggressive or even argumentative. Just voicing my displeasure with the reimagining of a franchise I love. I think I'm being fair.

Last reply to you.

How old are you? You seem like the type that loves everything about your favorite team. What's that called... "Fanboy"?
Maybe you should try looking at things objectively. You take criticism of your favorite things as if they're directed at you. Relax. Nobody is talking about you.
And with that, don't reply to me. I'm done talking to you.

Replied! In all seriousness. Go back and look at your initiation of this discussion. Chastising my original post (comment on making any robot a Megazord) was directed towards me. Had you just posted it without quote, there wouldn't be an issue. But you directed at me. I'm just responding to your criticism of my original opinion. I'll chalk this up to you being a newb here.

This new megazord looks like butt. I was ok with the other changes but this is just a horrible design for a megazord even by the new movie's design astitic. It looks like a guy in a chain mail body suit with pieces of the new zords glued onto it. Shouldn't it at least look like the new zords transformed to make it?

Pics?
