Too much of an attempt to be like the breakfast club. I did like that Zordon was openly more sinister. It was a nice nod to his true dark side on the show.

They should have had Tommy mentor a new group of MMPR or DinoThunder Rangers.

Perhaps an animated movie?

Re: Why did Power Rangers 2017 fail?
 

I wonder if there will ever be a new movie?

Re: Why did Power Rangers 2017 fail?
 

If done right Power Rangers could be right up there with Star Wars and Marvel.

Re: Why did Power Rangers 2017 fail?
 

Look we know there is going to be another film. Hasbro wants to find a way to make that work. But reaching the level you are talking about isn't easy. You can't just put out any superhero movie and expect it to be successful. People are more picky and there is still a stigma with Power Rangers other brands don't seem to have. I am not sure if Power Rangers will ever get to the level of the franchises you mentioned.

Re: Why did Power Rangers 2017 fail?
 

Voltron and She-Ra were popular. I think Power Rangers could be that successful if they did an animated film of that quality. Animated is easier then live action anyway.

Re: Why did Power Rangers 2017 fail?
 

Voltron and She-Ra are well written shows that pleased their adult fandoms. But are they really that popular with kids? Maybe some happened to see it on the parent's netflix accounts but I doubt many did. How well did the toys sell? Both shows were niche. Honestly, any PR movie would probably better off being a Netflix exclusive product. Since it Caters to a die hard niche as well.

I do like your idea to do an animated film. It does have a better chance of working.

Re: Why did Power Rangers 2017 fail?
 

There will be another movie in some form. We know one is in pre-production. I don't think PR will be Star Wars or Marvel Film level.

Re: Why did Power Rangers 2017 fail?
 

I don't know how much better the reboot will do though. How many times can you reboot things over and over again? Especially when they didn't do well the last time.
