Green Ranger all day. Cooler design, and dragons are much cooler than tigers/falcons.
Baraka in the White House
2-Terms of Kombat
The main problem is that they're just too busy looking. The 90's movie suits tried the "armored" look too and it worked better then because they kept the look simple
Apparently these suits were a major pain in the ass to work with.
Man, I'd probably like them way better if they were designed by Yoshiki Takaya.
Will calmly disagree (though not that Green Ranger wasn't the coolest of the original).
Tommy as the White Ranger had to learn to be the leader of the group, going from the "backup Ranger" to suddenly thrust into the role of guiding them and future members throughout four seasons of the series (partially because, you know, Jason's actor quit the show).
And the Tiger Zord had the benefit of at least having a pretty tight battle mode the Dragon Zord didn't that was far more mobile and often useful (and he actually got his hands dirty most of the time instead of controlling it with a magic flute. THIS time it was a magic talking sword.)
And the White Ranger was the only Power Ranger ever to go toe-to-toe with Lord Zedd too.
They look like they are.
I think costume designers these days know how to better make these outfits more comfortable.
Basically goes to show that "cooler" looks, and I'm giving a lot of leeway to the word cooler here, will probably not make the stories any more compelling. And I know I'm comparing a show for children that airs at 7:30 on Sunday to a movie for children and manchildren with too much nostalgia but honestly... They just look bad.
They look like bugs more than dinosaurs and the bodies are pretty awful, but if Banks' actual on-set costume is anything to go by, we shouldn't expect them to look that great IRL either. I mean... Man of Steel got away with pretty much just the spandex with colors a bit muted.
Yeah, I'm absolutely saying that Zyuohger costumes are better suited for this type of thing. And have more personality to them as well. It's that simple. Don't fuck with people that have been doing this for 39 years. If you want modern-ish full body costume, look at MCU, look at Kamen Rider Ryuki, and come up with something thematic and new, but don't just go and mess up Zyuranger designs without understanding what made them some of the sleekest costumes in the franchise only 16 years in.
Eh. I do care about my Power Rangers and this is pretty bad.
But you know what, the terrible PR Samurai design, which is western-only, actually comes from Japan and Japanese designers. What if this does as well, that's not an impossibility. What if this is just what was asked for and what they thought would be cool for an uh... gritty, realistic Power Rangers for the West adaptation.
Good god the intentions are all wrong with this one.
I hope you know they basically belong to two different teams.

Not a fan of the designs, maybe they look better in motion but they don't really look like ranger outfits.

I don't care either way, spandex or armor, as long as it looks good and appears functional depending on the character/story. So many stunts and outlandish acrobatic moves can be supplemented with CGI anyway, and many different prop suits are made to accomodate different requirements for filming certain scenes.
I thought most of the Tommy as the leader stuff was handled more during his Green Ranger time? Wasn't the Ultrazord mini-arc basically built around getting Tommy and Jason to work together and basically be co-leaders instead of having a dick measuring contest?
I hope you know they basically belong to two different teams.
If the movie does well (and that's a big if judging by the kneejerk reactions), I hope they incorporate the Dairanger suits someway. Have a team of 11 Rangers and two Megazords fighting multiple monsters.
Then bring in Kakuranger as something more than "10 episodes of Aliens to bridge S3 and Zeo"

These look like 90s era Guyver outfits. And not in a good way.

Finding out White Ranger was from an entirely different team/show blew my fucking mind

I don't know guys, I think they look fucking amazing.
Goes to show how much fuck up Saban did in the early days. They turn Kakurangers a ninja power rangers into aliens. I guess they still fucking up now with this.

I mean, they're under no obligation to do what the original Sentai. Hell, some of the best seasons of PR basically abandon what the Sentai originally did because it wasn't what PR's producers wanted.

so you have a childhood memory of a film studio making a power ranger movie in 2016 and when they revealed the costumes they looked good
The screams of "ruining/raping my childhood" are really dumb.
It's about what I expected a $120 million budget Power Rangers movie to look like. Especially with the popularity of Marvel.
The heels are dumb though, I'll concede that. Unless it's like Zero Suit Samus' rocket boots.

I actually kind of like the new costumes, although I think something closer to Black Panther's in Civil War would be a lot better.
The heels are a bit much though.

So it looks the rumors of
might be true. Take a look at this side-by-side recolor of the Pink Ranger's suit:

The Go-busters suits are too fun for this movie
It would make sense.
Much more than "There was a sixth coin that Rita stole and I never mentioned it until now because shut up"

You know what, fuck it, let's do it.
If these designers were in charge of the Black Panther costume it would have been War Machine armor with cat ears.

I love that people are calling these ugly whilst defending the cheapest looking most spandexy costumes ever designed. Never change, GAF.
Eh
That's because there's no correlation between how realistic/goofy the costumes are and how appropriate/aesthetically pleasing they are.
We are talking about a show with superheroes with dinosaur powers fighting an evil witch aboard a dinosaur robot god, you know.

Loved the Dairanger suits. Only Sentai I've watched, the action was so tight and the villains so creepy

Of course, but I was talking specifically about the Power Rangers version, and now the Japanese version of the Kiba Ranger which was.... well...
