What you may need to know:
1. This 14 minute short has nothing to do with the Power Rangers of your youth. It’s a dark examination of what would happen should a truce between Earth and the Machine Empire occur.
2. Haim Saban is morphing into the Green Ranger.
3. Director Joseph Kahn says he is not making any money from the short and uses original material so that’s cool. But it is really all about the Power Rangers though no?
4. Doesn’t the Blue Ranger’s antics remind you of Ozymandias from The Watchmen (2009) making his billions from Watchmen action figures but still kicking ass in secret? No? That’s probably for the best.
5. Where is Pacey. I guess he’s having an affair with his mentor Zordon. Dawson still has Joey issues.
6. Kahn is mainly associated with music videos and TV ads. The producer Adi Shankar is behind a string of other ‘unofficial’ shorts such as The Punisher: Dirty Laundry and Venom: Truth in Journalism [.
7. Lionsgate is in the middle of filming their own official Power Rangers feature. The franchise has been knocked for promoting violence. This short is not helping, in fairness.
8. Broadsheet Prognosis: Go Go Power Attorneys
Release Date: Available NOW
The IS version of Power Rangers.
9. Katee Sackhoff, ftw!
The Punisher & Venom shorts were both top notch in fairness.
