As a seasoned gamer and longtime fan of the Power Rangers franchise, I have to admit that this vintage 1950s take on the show is an intriguing concept. The visuals are stunning, and the idea of Power Rangers in a different era is an exciting prospect. However, as much as I’d love to overlook some inconsistencies and creative liberties taken by the AI-generated trailer, I can’t help but notice a few details that bother me.
In various eras, the world consistently manages to assemble teams of teenagers with strong attitudes. For instance, Schrödinger’s Film Club presents an intriguing concept: what if Power Rangers had debuted during the ’40s, styled as a ’50s TV show? This alternate interpretation, brought to us by AI, offers a captivating twist on the cherished franchise. Previously, AI has given us other imaginative takes, such as transforming the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles into middle-aged ninja turtles and creating Power Ranger teams based on different countries.
Fortunately, the ick factor is minimal with this team of morphinominal Rangers, yet there are still some questionable aspects in this phony trailer. As our narrator explains, due to “a world consumed by the fires of war,” a cheesy-looking Zordon summons a squad of teenagers to battle on the righteous side and maintain their stylish appearance. Instead of wearing shimmering onesies and animal-themed helmets, they don pilot jackets while retaining all the classic traits of a retro team of Rangers.
Despite the impressive display of artificial intelligence showcased online, there are some peculiar quirks that cannot be overlooked, casting doubt on relying entirely on these Power Rangers for Earth’s future protection.
The vintage Power Rangers’ weapons look a little worse for wear
Being a Power Ranger comes with a heavy load of responsibilities, and based on this trailer, it seems the 1940s Rangers are facing unique challenges that even the legendary Mighty Morphin team didn’t encounter. For instance, having to fly their planes backward is an unwelcome inconvenience that might be more troublesome than controlling a wild Zord to create one colossal robot. As for their aircrafts, they appear worn out and run-down, raising questions about whether Zordon managed to source quality equipment to battle against this era’s Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd.
One significant mistake the trailer makes concerning the Rangers’ organization, which may surprise fans of the Power Rangers franchise, is having the Yellow Ranger take the lead towards the end, defying an unspoken rule. While we appreciate innovation, it’s important to remember that tradition plays a crucial role – particularly when it comes to designating the Red Ranger as the one to morph first. Let’s hope for better decisions in future iterations, my digital friend.
