You say spoilers, yet you literally spoil it in the title.....
Neat. Wouldn't mind. That end credits scene would imply that it's not happening though so...not sure what the cast is expecting
I guess they could do this as a saving throw.

The only title spoiler is that the Green Ranger doesn't appear in the movie?

Unless you know absolutely nothing about Mighty Morphin Power Rangers there is no spoiler in the thread title at all.
Spoiler culture is fucking ridiculous.

I was already thinking they'd go that route.
Yes. Perfect.
Would prefer a gay dude specifically to fuck with Jason David Frank, but I will take this.

JDF wasn't one of the people who crapped on Yost for being gay. Yost has said a bunch that he was his best friend on set.
That said making any changes to his character would piss JDF off so, no matter what it'll be funny.

Man, who knew that there's spoiler cultures.
Btw, I could care less about getting spoiled, it's just that some other people on here might be.

It made pretty good money this weekend. If it pulls well internationally it's getting another one.

Yeah, why not. But the Green Ranger still needs to have a ponytail and a badass flute or I'm out.

As long as she has swagger
You care. Because you admitted there's room to care less.
It's beating expectations at the box office so far. Really solid opening weekend. It's getting a sequel.

so the next internet alt right shitstorm will be over Power Rangers
If they do that, might as well merge the Green Ranger stuff with the Kat story too, for maximum efficiency. I mean, Rita's responsible for both brainwashings, no point in retreading the same ground.
For bonus points,Tommie can be an Aussie so she can have an accent.
Faro agrees. 😉
Have you actually seen the first yet?

Meanwhile you know JDF is lobbying to play the Green Ranger again...
Fuck. I can honestly see this. Especially due to the genre seeping into other mediums they love.
Who?

Never happen. Studio execs want to sell toys to boys, and Tommy is probably the most well known Mighty Morphin character so they won't deviate too much from him. Jason is still a white dude and Tommy will be the same.
Kimberly's replacement as Pink Ranger, she later becomes Zeo Ranger One.
And to me, the change makes sense. In the movie
The Green Armor is for females
This stupid rumor needs to die. It's been debunked so many times. JDF never bullied David Yost over his sexuality and the two have been friends and supporting each other for decades now.
It all apparently stemmed from some behind the scenes video of a hyperactive JDF clearly annoying David Yost during Season 1 with his "green is best" antics... And that's it.
It doesn't specifically have to be green or white, but there's a history of "sixth rangers" (or seventh, or eighth...) showing up later in the series who are more powerful or who might start off as enemies. It just adds a twist to the story to keep things fresh.
Trying to find logic in them won't really work.
It's simply they were characters in the original Japanese Super Sentai and Saban had to find a way to work around them appearing in the English adaption. And really strangely tried to have the green ranger and white ranger be the same character which made the editing around the footage all the more confusing.
They were actually different characters on different teams

They should throw Jason David Frank in the role.

Zordon does say the White Ranger is more powerful than the Green Ranger when he is introduced so he at least is supposed to be stronger. Green Ranger's armour isn't really explained in the Mighty Morphin show.
