Hahahaha, Bill Hader is voicing this jar jar tin can. It is really spooky for a kid's film these designs.
 
Looks dumb. Wonder what Zordan will look like now.

I know nothing of Power Rangers, but that...thing, is grotesque. Why is its stomach bulging? It reminds me of pictures of starving children in poor countries who have bloated stomachs.

Why does it have arms that reach to the floor? Is it going to move around like a gorilla?

This is what it looked like in the show:

This movie is just straight up trolling me now, not only is it ruining my childhood but also corrupting it into dark twisted garbage.

Why does he wear the mask!?
I mean its not terrible. You guys are being too nostalgic with MMPR. Everything we've seen of this movie so far has been in line with current scifi movie trends. It was never going to be a 1:1 remake like the original movie. I'm excited for the film and think a lot of what they have shown will probably look better in motion.

It's the eyes that ruined it for me

I can't imagine someone being excited for this. Like, even if the designs don't offend you, this looks like the most derivative crap you can imagine. Like a mash up of a dozen other movies. Getting excited for this is like getting excited to eat rice and crackers.

Now what's the next step in your master plan?
Maybe when the Megazord forms Alpha is a part of it. He can be the Megazords talking belly button ring.

Proudly debt free. If you need a couple bucks, just ask.
Looks like Alpha fused with a Living Failure from Bloodborne..

Ok...I mean, its Power Rangers, so it's not great, but I can get a sense of personality from this guy, he looks like a good friendly sidekick.

The movie thing looks like it shuffles around, moaning like a Dark Souls monster.

The one in the show spoke with a high-pitched voice and was basically C3PO. His catch phrase was "ai yai yai yai yai"
 
Mine reaction was, out loud, "holy shiiiiiiiiiit."

I havent even had enough time to make up my mind about how I feel about it yet, that's just what happened when the image hit my eyes.

That looks a million times better. Just tweak it a bit so it's not so low budget looking and there you go. The thing in the op is a monstrosity.

The thing in the OP also looks like an alien robot, while OG alpha looks like a kid in a costume.

I mean, it's still a pretty bad design, but I get why they did it. They're really going in with the "alien" angle, unlike the show.
 
The posture makes it look like something out of a horror game. I could totally see myself turning a corner in Dead Space or The Evil Within and see that thing lumbering around awkwardly before it noticed me and screeched.

Watched a few youtube videos. Yeah, he's annoying in an endearing way. I'm imagining the movie version trying to be like that....I cant!

Looks more like a monster that the Rangers would fight in the Megazord.

Which is why Rita looks like this?

They aren't going for alien, they're just going for over the top busy designs.

Considering her outfit is pretty much the same as the Rangers' designs, just without a helmet, then yes. That's exactly why.
