Default Re: Why did Power Rangers 2017 fail?

From folks I talked to who didn't like it a lot of it comes down to the following things.

Kim's sub plot where she took a picture of her friend, and shared it without her friend's consent, how it seems like she doesn't learn anything even though were supposed to feel like she's the real victim.

That it's progressive Billy's autistic but then they have him blow stuff up even if he doesn't mean to.

That Trini is supposed to be a lesbian or at least bisexual but it only comes up in a dialogue, and we never actually see it.

TLDR: A lot of folks just didn't like how it tried to be progressive but made the Rangers come across a bland or dumb at best, and jerks at worst.
