And since this is a film adaptations board, I think I can make a common complaint that people have about film adaptations, Power Rangers or not.

But reinventing the nostalgia doesn't give the audience any reason to be nostalgic. If things get changed around, then the original reasons why it's so nostalgic won't be in the movie. It's not a childish nreason or a ridiculous one. It's a common complaint fans or former fans have. And just so you know, political correctness is extremely evident in movies, even to the point where things don't make sense, like how I've mentioned casting a Mexican girl as a Chinese girl multiple times.

Does the scary black man or the Asian girl turn the whole thing upside down for you?

That was racist.
I have nothing against racial diversity. But at least make sense with it. Trini's choice was what set me over the edge, not Zach's or Billy's. What sets me over the edge was that they already had a black guy and a Chinese girl, so there was no reason to switch the races of the other two members, except for one possible reason: political correctness. They don't want the black ranger being black, because that's "racist." So they make the smart guy the black one. Racial diversity is something the Power Rangers writers have always insisted on from the first team. What bugs me is that they change the races for the sake of their political agenda. It's the politics that bug me. Politics wriggles its way into every little thing on the planet, and now it wiggles its way into changing the races in an adaptation. People didn't bitch over Zach being black in the original series, and they shouldn't today. And if there's some other reasoning behind this change, I can't think of one. All I know is I've seen millions of complaints about changing appearances. Heck, people are complaining about the new suits. So why would the actors be any different?

What a dramatic and hyper victimized rant view of the world you have. It must suck to constantly be upset about things that don't matter in the slightest all the time.

So you don't think the media is constantly promoting it? Like I said, I have no problem with it as long as it's logical. You're the one who's not getting it. All you're doing is calling me whiny without a statement. And to be fair, I've seen you complaining about the stupidest little things in music before, but that's what a music forum is abouyt so I forgot all about it. I see people complaining about the little things here all of the time. If you're not a fan or former fan of the show, you don't really get to judge its level of representation as well as a guy who followed them for about 6 years.
Bottom line is your experiences with film are not the same as mine, and you're not going to change my opinion. I'm not the only fan who has complaints about the cast.

Boycott the movie by not seeing it and watch those hippy libtards go broke. Personally, I'm not going to see it because it looks like a ****ty movie and a cash grab.
