Director Jonathan Entwistle reveals the details of a scrapped Power Rangersreboot. Power Rangers fans have been following the news of a reboot for years now, getting one disappointing update after another. When the 2017 Power Rangers feature film bombed at the box office — grossing just over $142 million against a $100 million budget — the plan for multiple sequels was scrapped. Since then, a reboot movie was announced, then scrapped, followed by a reboot TV series. However, nothing has come to fruition. r5643

The Power Rangers and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will forces once more to complete their epic trilogy in a brand-new series from BOOM! Studios. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I and II miniseries, respectively, were originally released in 2019 and 2022. Both were critically acclaimed among the best TMNT crossovers, and now, it's time to round out the trilogy.

Power Rangers' "simple explanation" for why a Power Ranger would suddenly switch colors is perhaps the most infamous moment in the franchise, and it reveals a major problem with the TV show. Given how many seasons of Power Rangers there have been, it is remarkable that the show was able to have a somewhat cohesive universe where almost every team exists in the same continuity. That said, Power Rangers is full of plot holes and lore inconsistencies.

The role of the Blue Ranger has been forever changed by the newest Power Rangersseries. Dating back to the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Blue Ranger has always served a specific role on the team. Beyond being the second-in-command, the Blue Ranger is the Problem Solver of the Power Rangers, with a focus on tech and science-focused solutions.

Power Rangers' original plan for the Green Ranger was very different from Tommy Oliver's actual fate on the show. Even if Tommy was not your favorite Power Ranger, no one can deny how important Jason David Frank's character was to the franchise. While Power Rangers may have focused on Tommy a bit too much sometimes, the original Green Ranger was so popular for a reason. Tommy earned his spot as the face of the franchise, which is ironic considering what the plans for the character were at the beginning.

One overlooked character of the Power Rangers franchise may stake a reasonable claim to the title of best Red Ranger. For many viewers, that title almost unanimously belongs to Jason Lee Scott, the franchise's first Red Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Many moments can be cited to solidify why Jason is the best, but another Red Ranger makes a strong case.

David Yost originally auditioned for a different Power Rangers character before he was cast as Billy Cranston. One of the most iconic characters in the franchise, Billy was the only one of the original five Rangers to remain on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers until the very end. While Billy's story was cut short during Zeo, the original Blue Ranger's importance to the show cannot be overstated. Yost's character even establishes a tradition where, a lot of times, the Blue Ranger is the smartest character on their Power Rangers team.

Time Force premiered 24 years ago and showed that Power Rangers could tackle dark stories and have serious character development despite being a kid's show. From the formulaic structure of the series to the moral lessons about friendship and teamwork at the end of every episode, Power Rangers was often not that different from other 20-minute kid's shows. That said, things started to change in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

While most Power Rangers villains were defeated in just one episode, some were competent enough to almost beat the heroes. When it comes to Power Rangers villains, we must separate the usual monsters of the week from the main antagonists – the former were meant to be disposable, while the latter could actually be dangerous and effective depending on the season.

Warning: Spoilers for VR Troopers #1!The VR Troopers, the newest addition to the Power Rangers universe, are getting a new spin-off series. BOOM! Studios recently rebooted Power Rangers with a new comic book series called Power Rangers Prime, one that was quick to tie itself to the hit 90s show. In a surprising crossover, the VR Troopers have been portrayed as antagonists, putting them in direct conflict with the Power Rangers.
