- POWER RANGERS THE POWER RANGERS IN GENERAL NO ONE MAN SHOULD HAVE ALL THAT POWER... SO GIVE TO FIVE. YOU FIVE ARE THE POWER RANGERS.— ZORDON, CHRISTENG THE NEW GENERATN OF RANGERSA TEAM OF SUPERHERO FORMED OM FIVE ORDARY HIGH SCHOOL STUNTS WHO HER THE POWER COS OF THE PREV EARTH POWER RANGERS BY FDG THEM A MG QUARRY, AND ARE TASKED BY ZORDON TO STOP RA REPLA BEFORE SHE UNVERS EARTH'S ZEO CRYSTAL AND S POWER TO STROY ALL LIFE ON THE PLA. ADAPTATNAL ANGST UPGRA: THE ORIGAL MMPR TEAM WERE ALL FAIRLY STRAIGHT-LACED HIGH SCHOOLERS (WHO WERE ALL FAIRLY POPULAR WH THEIR PEERS) DOG LOADS OF CHARY WORK, WORKG WH KIDS TO BUILD THEIR TEEM AND THEY WERE ALL CLOSE IENDS LONG BEFORE THEY BEME RANGERS. THIS MOVIE HAS THEM ALL BE OUTSTS OR OTHERWISE WH SOME PERSONAL MONS THEY ARE TRYG TO AL WH, AND DON'T REALLY KNOW EACH OTHER WELL BEFORE BEG RANGERS. SO, TEENAGERS WH ATTU. ADAPTATNAL BADASS: OBVLY, THE RANGERS HAVE NEVER REALLY BEEN WIMPS, BUT THIS VERSN, THEY ARE PHYSILLY ENHANCED BY THE POWER COS EVEN BEFORE THEY MORPH. BILLY ENDS UP NO SELLG A HEAD-BUTT OM A BULLY BEE OF . THE ZORDS HAVE A MORE ARMORED AND IMPOSG APPEARANCE PARED TO THE ORIGAL SHOW. ADAPTATN PERSONALY CHANGE: THE ORIGAL FIVE MIGHTY MORPH RANGERS WEREN'T EXACTLY GIVEN MUCH THE WAY OF PERSONALY BEYOND BEG NOBLE AND HEROIC DO-GOORS. THEY'RE A B MORE FLHED OUT HERE, EACH FACG THEIR OWN PERSONAL ISSU TO BOND AS A TEAM. ANIMAL MOTIFS: AS THE ORIGAL SHOW, THE RANGERS' HELMETS RPORATE THE SIGN OF THEIR ZORD ANIMALS. UNLIKE THE CLASSIC HELMETS, THEY E A MORE ABSTRACT REPRENTATN OF THE ANIMALS, WH THE RED RANGER BEG THE ONLY ONE THAT LOOKS MOSTLY UNCHANGED. BADASS DISTRS: ALL FIVE OF THEM ARE BRIEFLY TIED TO THE SI OF A BOAT BY RA. COMPOSE CHARACTER: SORT OF EVABLE THAT THE ORIGAL CHARACTERS DIDN'T HAVE MUCH THE WAY OF BACKSTORY OR PERSONALY BEYOND THEIR BASE STEREOTYP. ADDG ANY SORT OF MORE PLEX BACKSTORY WOULD MAKE THEM SEEM MORE LIKE ANY OF THE (LERALLY) HUNDREDS OF OTHER POWER RANGERS. IN PARTICULAR, MANY NOTED THAT THE APPARENT SET-UP OF SOME HIGH SCHOOL MISFS PLAYG WH ANCIENT DOSR ARTIFACTS AND BEG RANGERS REFLECTS, APPROPRIATELY ENOUGH, POWER RANGERS: DO THUNR. (MOST NOTABLY, WE HAVE A NE'ER-DO-WELL WHO WILL BEE RED RECG A BLACK AND NERDY KID WHO WILL BEE BLUE; THEY'RE MORE CONNER AND ETHAN THAN JASON AND BILLY OM THE START!) THEN THERE'S ZACK - ASIAN AND WH A SER PERSONALY, BRGG TO MD ZACK'S SUCCSOR ADAM MORE THAN ZACK HIMSELF. INTERTGLY, THERE WAS TALK OF TOMMY BEG FEMALE IF THERE WAS A SEQUEL. THERE IS A DOSR SEASON WH A FEMALE GREEN - YEARS AFTER THIS MOVIE. THE NEW SIGN OF THE MEGAZORD IS LS BULKY AND MORE LEANER THAN THE ORIGAL, WH WGS, THE PK RANGER'S ZORD AS THE HEAD, AND WEAPONS TEGRATED TO S ARMS. AS A RULT, LOOKS LS LIKE THE ORIGAL MEGAZORD AND MORE LIKE THE NJA MEGAFALNZORD. DPERATELY LOOKG FOR A PURPOSE LIFE: ALL OF THEM ARE SOMEWHAT DISSATISFIED WH THEIR LIV AND WANT TO BE A PART OF SOMETHG BIGGER. FIVE-TOKEN BAND: MORE SO THAN THE ORIGAL, JASON IS A WHE MALE, KIMBERLY IS BIRACIAL (SOUTH ASIAN AND WHE), BILLY IS TISTIC AND BLACK, ZACK IS EAST ASIAN, AND TRI IS A QUEER LATA. HUMONGO MECHA: THE ZORDS. IN A SGLE BOUND: CAPABLE OF JUMPG OVER A LARGE NYON, THOUGH LANDG ULD E A B OF WORK THE BEGNG. MYTHOLOGY GAG: THE TEAM NSISTG OF TEENAGERS OM DIFFERENT SOCIAL CLIQU WHO NEVER REALLY KNEW EACH OTHER BEFORE THEY BEME POWER RANGERS BRGS TO MD THE TEAM (OR RATHER THE FIRST THREE OF THE RANGERS) OM POWER RANGERS: DO THUNR. RAGTAG BUNCH OF MISFS: TWO FORMER MEMBERS OF THE POPULAR CROWD DISGRACED BY THEIR OWN PRANKS, A GUY WHO RARELY ATTENDS SCHOOL, THE NSTANT NEW GIRL GOG THROUGH AN TERNAL NFLICT OVER HER SEXUAL ORIENTATN AND A GUY ON THE TISTIC SPECTM. SUPER MO: UNLIKE THE ORIGAL SERI WHERE THEIR POWERS ONLY WORK THEIR MORPHED FORM, THE RANGERS HERE ARE PRETTY MUCH SUPERHERO JT OM BONDG WH THEIR POWER COS, MAKG THEIR MORPHED STATE E UP MORE AS THIS. NOT ONLY DO THEY GET INSTANT ARMOR, BUT THEIR PRE-EXISTG POWERS ARE GREATLY ENHANCED. SUPER STRENGTH: EVEN WHILE NOT WEARG THEIR SUS, THEY N EASILY SHATTER SKS AND SMALL OBJECTS. SUPER TOUGHNS: AFTER GETTG THE POWER S, THEY BEE TOUGH ENOUGH TO SURVIVE GETTG N OVER BY A TRA. THE TEAM: ASI OM JASON BEG THE LEAR, THE OTHERS MIX AND MATCH ARCHETYP. IN PARTICULAR, THE HALLMARKS OF THE LANCER ARE SHARED WH THE OTHER FOUR. KIMBERLY IS NUMBER TWO TO JASON. THE TWO ARE EACH OTHER'S CLOST NFIDANT, AND WHERE JASON LEADS BY EXAMPLE, SHE GIV MORE ORRS AND DIRECTN. SHE HAS SHAS OF THE HEART AS THE TEAM'S MOTIVATOR, AND BEG A LERAL CHEERLEAR MAK HER THE MOST FEME. BILLY IS THE "BT IEND" TO JASON, AS THEY'RE THE FIRST TO PAIR UP, AND HIS ATH AFFECTS HIM THE MOST. HOWEVER HE'S PRIMARILY THE SMART GUY, ABLE TO HACK ANKLE MONORS, TRIANGULATE THE LOTN OF THE ZEO CRYSTAL, AND IS A WELL-KNOWN NERD ON MP. HE'S THE ONE THAT LOV THE TEAM THE MOST, AND THE RT RE FOR HIM KD GIVG HIM ELEMENTS OF THE HEART. TRI IS THE INEFFECTUAL LONER THAT KEEPS TO HERSELF AND QUTNS HOW REAL OF A TEAM THEY EVEN ARE. THAT SAID, SHE OBVLY LOV HER BROTHERS VERY MUCH, AND IS FIERCELY LOYAL TO THE RANGERS ONCE THEY DO BOND. ZACK IS THE STIGATOR WHOSE PERSONALY CLASH THE MOST WH RT, EVEN G TO BLOWS AT ONE POT WH JASON. THAT PERSONALY IS A BOISTERO BISER BIG GUY WHO'S PRONE TO STCTN, OM DIGGG OUT THE S TO STEALG HIS ZORD FOR A JOYRI. THREE PL TWO: RED, PK, AND BLUE WERE ALL SERVG TENTN TOGETHER, AND HANG OUT MORE REGULARLY AT SCHOOL AFTER GETTG THEIR POWERS. BLACK AND YELLOW SHARE AN AFFY SCE THEY'RE BOTH LONERS. TE COMPANNS: IT TAK ALMOST THE WHOLE MOVIE, BUT THEY GET THERE AND JT TIME, BEE THEIR BEG THIS IS A REQUIREMENT FOR METAMORPHOSIS. TV TEEN: SUBVERTED. DAWSON CASTG ASI, THE TEENAGERS ARE PICTED FAIRLY REALISTILLY. WRTLER ALL OF US: PART OF THE MEGAZORD VS. GOLDAR FIGHT VOLV THEM TEAMG UP TO HAVE THE MEGAZORD GIVE GOLDAR A GERMAN SUPLEX. YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU: DUE TO RACE LIFT BEG APPLIED TO ALL OF THEM, THE RANGERS DIFFER GREATLY APPEARANCE OM THEIR UNTERPARTS THE ORIGAL SERI. ALTHOUGH AN EXCEPTN WOULD BE KIMBERLY, WHO STILL REMBL HER ORIGAL SERI UNTERPART DUE TO THE SIAR APPEARANC OF THE TWO ACTRS WHO PLAYED THE CHARACTER; YOU'D BELIEVE IF YOU WERE TOLD THEY WERE SISTERS. JASON STT JASON STTPLAYED BY: DACRE MONTGOMERYVOICED BY: VíCTOR MAR JR. (LAT-AMERIN SPANISH DUB), RYO KATSUJI (JAPANE DUB)THE RED RANGER. ADAPTATNAL JERKASS: THIS JASON IS TENTN FOR A VERY GOOD REASON, AS HE PULLED A PRANK VOLVG A W THAT GOT HIM HOE ARRT, SOMETHG UNTHKABLE OF THE ORIGAL JASON EVEN BEFORE BEG A POWER RANGER. ADAPTATNAL PERSONALY CHANGE: THE ORIGAL JASON JUMPED AT THE CALL, BUT THIS ONE IS MUCH MORE RELUCTANT. HE'S ALSO MUCH LS HOT-BLOOD THAN THE ORIGAL SERI. ADAPTATNAL WIMP: DOWNPLAYED PARED TO THE TEAM GENERAL'S ADAPTATNAL BADASS TREATMENT, BUT, AS OPPOSED TO BEG A BARE-FISTED MONK THE SERI, HE'S A FOOTBALL PLAYER HERE. ADAPTATN DYE-JOB: HIS HAIR IS LIGHTER THAN HIS UNTERPART'S THE ORIGAL SERI. BLA BELOW THE SHOULR: THE TYPE OF SWORD THAT WH HIS RANGER ARMOR. BIG BROTHER INSTCT: QUICKLY VELOPS THIS FOR BILLY. WHILE ALL THE RANGERS BEE IENDS, 'S CLEAR THAT JASON AND BILLY'S BOND IS STRONGER. BIG MAN ON CAMP: AND ON THE WHOLE TOWN, BEFORE HIS PRANK MS UP HIS KNEE AND GETS HIM A CRIMAL RERD. BREAK THE HGHTY: HE GETS THIS WHEN HIS RECKLS PLAN TO ATTACK RA BILLY'S ATH. BULLY HUNTER: DPIS BULLI, AND MAK A POT OF HUIATG THEM WHEN HE ALS WH THEM. CAREER-ENDG INJURY: A PRANK GONE WRONG MSED UP HIS KNEE AND CUT SHORT HIS ASPIRATNS FOR FOOTBALL. HE'S HEALED WHEN HE GETS HIS POWER CO. DEFIANT TO THE END: WHEN RA HAS THEM LERALLY AGAST THE ROP, HE HEADBUTTS HER. SHE'S IMPRSED. DIDN'T THK THIS THROUGH: BOTH WH HIS LTLE PRANK AND HIS PLAN TO KILL RA. DRIV LIKE CRAZY: HE KEEPS STROYG RS. EXAGGERATED WH A CERTA YELLOW CAMARO THAT HE AS A PROJECTILE AGAST PUTTI THE FAL BATTLE. DUMBASS TEENAGE SON: DOWNPLAYED, AS HE DON'T SEEM PARTICULARLY DUMB (EVEN IF THE OPENG PRANK FELY WAS); BUT HE'S ANGRY AT HIS FATHER BEG MAD AT HIM, EVEN THOUGH HIS FATHER'S DISAPPOTMENT IS PERFECTLY JTIFIED. HE ALSO BRIEFLY NSIRS NNG AWAY, SPE THAT BEG OBVLY A VERY BAD IA. HEADBUTTG HERO: WH ZACK, THOUGH THEY GET OVER . HERO PREFER SWORDS: THE ONLY RANGER TO WIELD A WEAPON AND, AS BEFTG THE LEAR, 'S A SWORD. HEROIC BSOD: AT BILLY'S ATH, WHILE THE OTHER RANGERS ARE CLEARLY SAD, THEY STILL REACT PROACTIVELY. MEANWHILE, HE'S A STATE OF SHOCK, AND THE OTHER RANGERS HAVE TO KEEP TELLG HIM WHAT TO DO. HEROIC BUILD: THE DIENCE GETS A GOOD LOOK AT HIS UPPER BODY WHEN HE DISVERS HIS POWERS. IT'S ALL MY FLT: HE KNOWS BILLY'S ATH IS MOSTLY ON HIM AND BEATS HIMSELF UP OVER . THE LEAR: VERY RELUCTANTLY, AT FIRST, ONLY TAKG AN ACTIVE ROLE TRYG TO LEAD THE TEAM AFTER ZORDON TELLS HIM TO DO SO AND FAC SOME RISTANCE, PECIALLY OM ZACK. HOWEVER, ONCE HE'S CID, HE TAK THE ROLE SERLY AND LATER, POTEDLY REMDS ZORDON THAT THE NEW RANGERS ARE HIS TEAM. LOVABLE JOCK: WAS THE STAR QUARTERBACK BEFORE HIS ACCINT, BUT THE FIRST THGS HE DO WHEN ARRIVG AT TENTN ARE SLAPPG A BULLY AND MAKG IENDS WH BILLY. MR. FANSERVICE: LIK SLEEPG SHIRTLS. NICE GUY: IN GENERAL, A STAND-UP FELLOW ALWAYS TRYG TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT, WH ONLY THE OCSNAL PRANK. HE EVEN MAK A POT TO AVERT HIS EY WHEN KIMBERLY SHOWS HIM THE NU PICTURE OF AMANDA CLARK, THE OTHER CHEERLEAR. IT'S LIKELY HIS ACCINT FORCED HIM TO MATURE MORE QUICKLY THAN HIS IENDS, WHICH SHOWS WHEN HIS FATHER DISMISS THE PEOPLE HE HAS TO ATTEND TENTN WH (BEFORE JASON HAD EVEN MET ANY OF THEM) AS 'WEIRDOS AND CRIMALS', JASON MENTS THAT HIS FATHER IS RIGHT AND THEY'LL NEVER UNRSTAND EACH OTHER, CLEARLY ANGERED BY THE MENT. ODD FRIENDSHIP: WH BILLY. ONE'S A TYPIL SCHOOL JOCK AND THE OTHER'S A NERD, BUT THE IENDSHIP THEY STRIKE UP SETS THE FOUNDATN FOR THE GROUP G TOGETHER. THE QUARTERBACK: WHAT HE WAS BEFORE G , AND PROBABLY WHY HE TAK LEARSHIP SERLY ONCE HE'S NVCED. RACE LIFT: AMBIGUOLY MULTI-ETHNIC THE SHOW, MORE CLEARLY CSIAN HERE. HIS NAME ALSO GO OM THE ORIGAL JASON LEE STT TO SIMPLY JASON STT. RED IS HEROIC: THE RED RANGER, THE LEAR OF THE GROUP AND THE ONE WH THE MOST CLASSILLY HEROIC PERSONALY. SELF-DEPRETN: HE KNOWS HE MAK TERRIBLE CISNS AT TIM. FOR STANCE, WHEN BILLY TELLS HIM THAT THEIR BRAS WORK DIFFERENTLY, JASON REPLI THAT THAT'S A GOOD THG FOR BILLY. TWO FIRST NAM: AS FTG AN AMERIN FICTNAL HERO. WHAT THE HELL, HERO?: TO ZACK, FOR TAKG HIS ZORD WHOUT PREPARATN, ENDANGERG HIMSELF AND THE OTHERS. TO ZORDON, FOR LYG TO THEM BY SPIRG THEM JT SO HE ULD E BACK TO LIFE. WHE MALE LEAD: THE ONLY CSIAN MALE MEMBER OF THE TEAM. YOU ARE BETTER THAN YOU THK YOU ARE: WHEN KIMBERLY NFS TO HIM THAT SHE SENT A NAKED PICTURE OF ANOTHER GIRL TO HER BOYIEND AND EPLY REGRETS DOG SO, HAVG REALIZED WHAT AN ALPHA BCH SHE WAS BEFORE, JASON ASSUR HER THAT WHILE SHE DID A BAD THG, THAT DON'T NECSARILY MAKE HER A BAD PERSON. IN FACT, THE FACT THAT SHE FEELS BAD ABOUT IS PROOF THAT SHE IS NOT A BAD PERSON AT ALL. KIMBERLY HART KIMBERLY HARTPLAYED BY: NAOMI STTVOICED BY: NATALIA HENCKER (LAT-AMERIN SPANISH DUB), ALICE HIROSE (JAPANE DUB)THE PK RANGER. ACTN GIRL: SHE'S THE PK RANGER AFTER ALL. ACE PILOT: SHE TAK TO RIDG THE PTEROZORD QUE WELL, MAKG HERSELF THE MOST ACTIVE RANGER THE FAL BATTLE SPE BEG JT AS MUCH OF A ROOKIE AND NERVO AS THE OTHERS (BAR ZACK). ADAPTATN DYE-JOB: HER HAIR IS DARKER THAN HER UNTERPART'S THE ORIGAL SERI. ADAPTATNAL JERKASS: WHILE SHE WAS ALSO A MATERIALISTIC, POPULAR GIRLY GIRL THE ORIGAL SERI, SHE WAS ALWAYS VERY KD AND LOOKED OUT FOR THE OTHER STUNTS. HERE SHE STARTS OFF AS A FULL OUT ALPHA BCH BEFORE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT MAK HER MORE LIKE HER SERI UNTERPART. ALPHA BCH: SURPRISGLY BEFORE THE START OF THE FILM. SHE WAS SEEMGLY THE HEAD OF THE POPULAR GIRLS AND SAW NO PROBLEM WH SHOWG A NU PICTURE OF HER IEND TO A BOY FOR NO REASON. SHE EVENTUALLY REALIZED WHAT KD OF PERSON SHE HAD TURNED TO, PROMPTG HER TO CHANGE. AMBIGUOLY BI: SHE SHAR A LOT OF SHIP TEASE WH JASON AND MENTNS AN EX-BOYIEND BUT ALSO SHAR SOME HO YAY WH TEAMMATE AND BT IEND TRI. AMBIGUOLY BROWN: HER ETHNICY IS NOT SPECIFIED, THOUGH SHE DON'T APPEAR TO BE WHE EHER (HER ACTRS IS OF MIXED INDIAN/WHE ANCTRY). APOLOGETIC ATTACKER: SHE DON'T "ATTACK" TRI, PER SE (SCE SHE WASN'T TRYG TO HURT HER), BUT SHE DO APOLOGIZE TO HER BEFORE DRAGGG HER TO THE P THAT THE OTHER RANGERS JT JUMPED TO. THE ATONER: FOR HAVG BEEN AN UTTER ALPHA BCH BEFORE GETTG TO TENTN CLASS. COMPOSE CHARACTER: SHE SHAR A SIAR BACKSTORY WH SUMMER LANDSDOWN THAT THEY WERE BOTH ALPHA BCH WHO REALIZED HOW TERRIBLE PEOPLE THEY WERE AND WANTG TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER. CEL CHEERLEAR: WAS A BULLYG CHEERLEAR BEFORE HER PRANK GONE WRONG. HER SKILLS MEAN SHE'S THE ONLY ONE TO AVOID AN AWKWARD LANDG WHEN JUMPG. GIRLY BISER: EVEN BEFORE BEG A POWER RANGER, 'S OFTEN MENTNED HOW SHE KNOCKED SOME GUY'S TOOTH OUT. NOTABLY, SHE'S THE ONLY ONE TO STICK THE LANDG WHEN THEY FIRST DISVER THEIR POWERS, REFLECTG HER CHEERLEAR BACKGROUND. THE HEART: SHE HAS SOME SHAS OF THIS, PRIMARILY MOTIVATG THE TEAM TO ACTN WHEN 'S NEED. IGNORED EPIPHANY: DOWNPLAYED. DPE HER JERKASS REALIZATN, SHE STILL SHOWS THE NAKED PICTURE OF HER FORMER IEND TO JASON WHOUT THKG ABOUT (WHICH IS THE SORT OF THG THAT GOT HER KICKED OUT OF HER OLD GROUP TO BEG WH) AND SEEMS TO STILL DISLIKE HER FORMER IENDS FOR JTIFIABLY HOLDG THAT AGAST HER. IMPORTANT HAIRCUT: AFTER THE OTHER CHEERLEARS MAKE CLEAR THAT SHE'LL NEVER BE ONE OF THEM AGA, SHE CUTS HER HAIR. IT'S ALL MY FLT: KIMBERLY TO BELIEVE THAT HER OWN FAILURE TO OWN UP TO HER WRONGDOGS IS WHAT'S HOLDG THE TEAM BACK OM THEIR ATTEMPTS TO MORPH. SHE UNBURNS HERSELF TO JASON, WHO ASSUR HER THAT SHE'S BETTER THAN HER MISTAK. JERKASS REALIZATN: BEFORE THE START OF THE FILM, SHE REALIZED HOW TERRIBLE SHE WAS WHEN SHE SENT A NAKED PICTURE OF ANOTHER GIRL TO HER BOYIEND AND HAD TO WATCH WHEN THE PRCIPAL SHOWED SAID GIRL'S FATHER THE SAME PHOTO. MS. FANSERVICE: SHE STRIPS DOWN TO HER UNRWEAR FOR A LATE NIGHT SWIM. MY GREATT FAILURE: THE PRANK THAT ED HER FALL OM GRACE, SENDG A NU PICTURE OF ANOTHER GIRL TO THAT GIRL'S BOYIEND. SHE'S STILL ASHAMED OVER . NEVER MY FLT: AFTER HER PRANK THAT CROSSED THE LE, SHE PRETEND THAT WASN'T HER FLT AND EVERYONE WAS OUT TO GET HER WHEN THEY UNRSTANDABLY LASHED OUT AT HER. SHE'S STILL GETTG OVER THIS DURG THE MA STORY, AND SHE'S HEAVILY IMPLIED TO HAVE NEVER APOLOGIZED TO HER OLD IENDS. THE NOT-LOVE INTERT: THOUGH THE FILM KIMBERLY FOR THE SAME EMOTNAL BEATS A ROMANCE SUBPLOT UALLY GO THROUGH, HER RELATNSHIP WH JASON REMAS PLATONIC. NUMBER TWO: SHE'S THE ONE GIVG THE DIRECT ORRS THROUGHOUT, AND GIV MORE DIRECTN THAN JASON THE FAL FIGHT. PK MEANS FEME: SHE'S THE PK RANGER AND IS ALSO A FORMER CHEERLEAR AS WELL AS THE HEART OF THE TEAM. RACE LIFT: WHE THE ORIGAL SERI, HER ACTRS HERE HAS AN INDIAN MOTHER AND WHE FATHER. THEY'RE CALLED "PERSONAL ISSU" FOR A REASON: WHEN THE TEAM TRI TO BOND BY SHARG SECRETS BETWEEN EACH OTHER, SHE ASKS THAT THEY SKIP HER THAT NIGHT BEE SHE'S NOT READY. THEY RPECTFULLY DON'T PRS HER AND MOVE ON TO TRI. BILLY CRANSTON BILLY CRANSTONPLAYED BY: RJ CYLERVOICED BY: ALBERTO SANTILLáN (LAT-AMERIN SPANISH DUB), TOMOKAZU SUGA (JAPANE DUB)THE BLUE RANGER. ADAPTATN PERSONALY CHANGE: HERE, HE'S TISTIC ADDN TO BEG NERDY. BACK OM THE DEAD: AFTER RA KILLS HIM, ZORDON THE MORPHG GRID TO RURRECT HIM. BLACK AND NERDY: A NERDY GENI JT LIKE THE SHOW BUT NOW HE'S BLACK STEAD OF WHE. BLUE IS HEROIC: HE IS THE BLUE RANGER, BEG THE IENDLIT AND MOST NOCENT OF THE GROUP. CATCHPHRASE: TWICE DURG THE MOVIE HE N BE HEARD SAYG, "IF YOU MT E AT ME, THEN E AT ME, BRO!" CHARACTER TIC: CLAPPG HIS HANDS GLEE (WHICH ALPHA TCH AT SOME POT). COMPOSE CHARACTER: UNLIKE THE ORIGAL SHOW, BILLY IS NOW AIN-AMERIN STEAD OF CSIAN, SENTIALLY BG BILLY'S NAME WH THE ETHNICY OF ANOTHER BLUE TRICERATOPS RANGER: ETHAN JAM. COWARDLY LN: BILLY GETS EAKED OUT BY PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHG THAT HAPPENS, BUT HE'S STILL MORE THAN ABLE TO HOLD HIS OWN ONCE HIS POWERS MANIFT, WHICH IS TTH TELEVISN, AS SOME TISTIC PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE NCEALG FEAR AND WILL OVER-REACT WHEN SRED, SPE NOT BEG AS TERRIFIED AS THEIR REACTNS WOULD DITE. CRAZY-PREPARED: WHEN THEY FIRST DISVER THE COMMAND CENTER, HE HAPPENS TO HAVE A FLASHLIGHT ON HAND TO HELP THEM EXPLORE. AN EXTEND CUT OF THAT SCENE REVEALS THAT HIS PHONE IS WATERPROOF TOO. CURSE CUT SHORT: WHEN HE AND THE RT OF THE RANGERS PILOT THEIR ZORDS DURG THEIR BATTLE AGAST RA, BILLY HOLLERS JOHN MCCLANE'S TCHPHRASE BEFORE CUTTG HIMSELF SHORT."YIPPEE-KI-YAY, MOTHERF- ..

LATER, HE HUGS JASON, BUT 'S UNCLEAR IF 'S ONLY BEE HE'S BEE FAIAR ENOUGH WH HIM OR BEE HE'S IATG THE NTACT. THE HEART: HE HOLDS THE TEAM TOGETHER WHEN THEY START FIGHTG AND HIS ATH IS THE KEY THAT BRGS THEM TOGETHER SO THEY N FALLY MORPH. HOLLYWOOD AUTISM: AN AVERSN; HE'S PORTRAYED MOSTLY REALISTILLY, PLETE WH MOTOR MOUTH AND A TENNCY TO OVER-EXPLA TO ENSURE HE'S BEG UNRSTOOD BY OTHERS. INRPTIBLE PURE PURENS: EVEN RA ADMS THAT BILLY IS PURT OF HEART AMONG THEM, WHICH IS WHY SHE KNOWS HE WILL TELL HER WHAT SHE WANTS TO KNOW IF SHE TORTUR HIS TEAMMAT AND ALSO WHY SHE KILLS HIM. MOTOR MOUTH: LS TALKG FAST (THOUGH HE DO) AND MORE JT THAT HE KEEPS TALKG, NOT SEEMG TO REALIZE WHEN HE'S SUPPOSED TO STOP OR WHAT ISN'T NECSARY TO SAY WHOUT SOMEONE ELSE'S TERVENTN. NICE GUY: A IENDLY AND NOCENT GUY WHO HOLDS THE TEAM TOGETHER. OBSSIVELY ORGANIZED: HE NEATLY SORTS HIS PENCILS TENTN, AND EVEN REARRANG THEM TO FD A PROPER ORR, PL DLY EAKS OUT WHEN A BULLY BREAKS ONE. ODD FRIENDSHIP: WH JASON. ONE'S A TYPIL SCHOOL JOCK AND THE OTHER'S A NERD, BUT THE IENDSHIP THEY STRIKE UP SETS THE FOUNDATN FOR THE GROUP G TOGETHER. RACE LIFT: WHE THE ORIGAL SERI, BLACK HERE. SARSM-BLD: AND ALSO BLD TO MOST JOK. JTIFIED DUE TO HIS TISM. THE SMART GUY: HE DISVERS THE LOTN OF THE CRYSTAL AND IS THE TECH GENI.

ONLY IT FOR THE MONEY: DOWNPLAYED, BUT HIS FIRST THOUGHT UPON DISVERG THE POWER S IS SELL THEM AND GET RICH. HE IS LATER SEEN DIGGG FOR MORE WHEN JASON, KIMBERLY, AND BILLY RETURN TO THE QUARRY. CONSIRG WHAT WE SEE OF HIS FAY'S FANCIAL SUATN (LIVG A TRAILER PARK, THE ONLY ADULT BEG TOO BEDRIDN TO WORK), HE DO HAVE A LEGIMATE REASON TO WANT THE EXTRA SH.

SMART PEOPLE PLAY CHS: HE PLAYS CHS WH HIS MOTHER, BUT SHE BEATS HIM AT THE END OF THE MOVIE. WRONG SI OF THE TRACKS: HE'S PROBABLY THE POORT OF THE RANGERS AS HE LIV A TRAILER PARK WH HIS SICK MOTHER.VILLAS RA REPULSA RA REPULSAPLAYED BY: ELIZABETH BANKSVOICED BY: MARCELA BORS (LAT-AMERIN SPANISH DUB), MIYI SAWASHIRO (JAPANE DUB)A FORMER GREEN RANGER WHO SADLY WAS RPTED BY GREED AND A THIRST FOR POWER. SHE MURRED HER ORIGAL TEAM BEFORE BEG RENRED DORMANT FOR 65 LN YEARS. THAT IS, UNTIL THE PRENT DAY, WHEN A NEW TEAM OF POWER RANGERS WAS BORN. ADAPTATNAL ATTRACTIVENS: PLAYED WH. BEFORE FULLY REGAG HER POWERS, SHE LOOKS LIKE A CRAZY HOMELS WOMAN (WHICH IS STILL A STEP UP OM WHEN SHE'S FIRST FOUND, AS SHE LOOKED MUMMIFIED WHEN FIRST FISHED OUT OF THE OCEAN). AFTER REGAG THEM, SHE LOOKS LIKE ELIZABETH BANKS A FORM-FTG OUTF. ADAPTATNAL BADASS: LIKE ALL THE BIG BADS THAT ME AFTER HER, THE TV-RA HAD A SE OF ORC ON HIS THRONE AND ALL HER PUTTI AND MONSTER OF THE WEEK HAD TO BE CREATED BEFOREHAND. THE MOVIE-RA N NOT ONLY CREATE HER ARMY OUT OF ANY MATERIAL AROUND HER BUT IS SHOWN TO BE LEADG HER ARMY AGAST THE RANGERS, OR FIGHTG THEM HERSELF. NOT TO MENTN THIS RA ED TO BE THE GREEN RANGER, AND NTU TO DRAW HER POWER OM THE DRAGON . SHE ALSO SUCCEEDS ACTUALLY KILLG POWER RANGERS, SOMETHG HER TV UNTERPART WOULDN'T PULL OFF UNTIL MIGHTY MORPH POWER RANGERS ONCE AND A LWAYS. ADAPTATNAL DYE-JOB: SHE HAD GRAY HAIR THE ORIGAL SHOW, AS PART OF HER OLD CRONE GETUP. HERE, HER HAIR STARTS OFF BLACK, BUT IS THEN DYED A VIBRANT SHA OF GREEN. ADAPTATNAL VILLAY: Y, RA WAS ALWAYS A VILLA (PROUDLY SO, FACT), BUT SHE NEVER TORTURED ANYONE THE ORIGAL SERI. THAT'S NOT EVEN UNTG ALL OF THE PEOPLE SHE KILLED FOR THEIR GOLD. SHE ALSO LACKS ANY OF HER REEMG QUALI SUCH AS HER GENUE LOVE FOR LORD ZEDD. HER PERSONALY ULD ALSO BE PARED TO WCH BANDORA TO SOME EXTENT. WHILE TV SHOW RA ISN'T A TRAGIC VILLA LIKE BANDORA, MOVIE RA GO EVEN FURTHER TO THE POT WHERE SHE IS STEAD AN UTTERLY SPIBLE VILLA WH NO REEMG QUALI WHATSOEVER. ADAPTATN ORIG CONNECTN: ZORDON RECED THE RANGERS AFTER RA HAD BEEN UNTENTNALLY RELEASED BY A PAIR OF ASTRONTS WHO FOUND HER PRISON ON THE MOON. IN THE MOVIE, SHE'S A FALLEN RANGER FISHED OUT OF THE OCEAN AFTER LAYG DORMANT FOR 65 LN YEARS. ADAPTATN PERSONALY CHANGE: RA REPULSA THE ORIGAL SERI WAS A MUCH MORE EDIC VILLA WHO NSTANTLY PLAED ABOUT HAVG A HEADACHE. RA THIS NTUY DO NOT REALLY HAVE THE TRAS (AT LEAST NOT TENTNALLY). ADAPTED OUT: ALL OF HER REGULAR MNS SAVE FOR GOLDAR. SQUAT, BABBOO, AND FSTER ARE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND, AND THEY ROL THEY FILLED ON THE SHOW ARE TAKEN UP BY HER HERE. DPE RA BEG THIS NTUY'S ORIGAL GREEN RANGER, NO DITN IS EVER MA OF THE EXISTENCE OF THE DRAGONZORD. AGE LIFT: FROM AT LEAST 10,000 YEARS TO OVER 65 LN YEARS OLD. ALIEN BLOOD: APPROPRIATELY ENOUGH, 'S GREEN. AMBIGUO START OF DARKNS: THE DIENCE IS TOLD THAT RA IS A FORMER RANGER WHO WENT BAD, BUT NEHER SHE NOR ZORDON PROVI MUCH TAIL ON HER BACKSTORY, LEAVG HER REASONS FOR WANTG THE ZEO CRYSTAL OR BETRAYG HER TEAMMAT UNKNOWN. AMBIGUOLY GAY / PSYCHO LBIAN: SHE GETS VERY TOUCHY-FEELY WH TRI AND THE JEWELRY STORE SK CLERK. ARCH-ENEMY: WHILE THEY DON'T SHARE ANY SCREENTIME AFTER THE OPENG SCENE, THERE'S CLEARLY A LOT OF BAD BLOOD BETWEEN RA AND ZORDON; THEY WERE TEAMMAT UNTIL RA BETRAYED HER ALLI AND KILLED THEM ALL, AND THE PRENT DAY, RA GO BERSERK AT THE NOTN OF BEG SUBJECT TO ZORDON'S JUDGEMENT, RANTG THAT SHE IS "WORTHY", NO MATTER WHAT HE SAYS. AX-CRAZY: SHE IS, AS TRI PUTS , REAL SANE. BLOOD KNIGHT: LETS OUT AN SANE GIGGLE WHEN TRI BRIEFLY OVERPOWERS HER DURG THEIR FIGHT, AND IS CLEARLY HAVG THE TIME OF HER LIFE DURG HER NONTATNS WH THE RANGERS- AT LEAST UNTIL THEY NEARLY TAKE HER OUT, AT WHICH POT SHE DROPS ALL PRETENSE OF FUN AND BE ADLY SER. BIG BAD: SHE WANTS TO STEAL THE ZEO CRYSTAL, STROYG LIFE ON EARTH THE PROCS, AND E TO NQUER THE GALAXY. THE RANGERS MT KICK HER ASS. BISHōNEN LE: AS SHE ABSORBS MORE GOLD AND REGENERAT HER POWER, SHE GO OM "BARELY SENTIENT WATERLOGGED RPSE" TO, WELL, HER PICTURE ABOVE. BOND VILLA STUPIDY: WHEN SHE PTUR THE RANGERS, HAS THEM AT HER MERCY, AND HAS WEASELED THE LOTN OF THE ZEO CRYSTAL OUT OF THEM, SHE ONLY BOTHERS TO KILL BILLY. HAD SHE DONE THE SMART THG AND SLGHTERED THEM ALL, WOULD HAVE BEEN GAME OVER FOR THE RANGERS. CARD-CARRYG VILLA: LS SO THAN THE TV SERI, BUT HER NAME IS STILL RA REPULSA, AND SHE EELY ADMS TO BEG THE BAD GUY. COLD HAM: ELIZABETH BANKS IS CLEARLY HAVG THE TIME OF HER LIFE. COMPARED TO HER TV UNTERPART, HOWEVER, SHE MAK LIBERAL BUT EFFECTIVE E OF HER DOOR VOICE (MOST OF THE TIME). UNLIKE THE TV RA, WHO'S NSTANTLY SHOUTG. THE COMILLY SER: AS LEGIMATELY CREEPY AND MENACG RA IS THIS NTUY, IS GENUELY AMG HEARG HER SAY "KRISPY KREME" WH ABSOLUTE SERNS AND SEEG HER MOMENTARILY STOPPG HER ATTACK ON ANGEL GROVE TO EAT A DOUGHNUT. COMPOSE CHARACTER: SHE TAK FSTER'S ROLE OM THE ORIGAL SERI OF CREATG HER MONSTERS BY CREATG THEM HERSELF. SHE'S AN EVIL GREEN RANGER JT LIKE TOMMY OLIVER WAS. TOMMY HIMSELF STILL EXISTS THIS NTUY SO THIS OVERLAPS WH DEPOSE CHARACTER. DARKER AND EDGIER: IN THE ORIGAL SERI, RA WAS A HAMMY CRONE WHO MOSTLY JT SAT ON THE MOON YELLG AT HER MNS' PETENCE AND PLAG ABOUT HER HEADACH WHILE HER MONSTERS DID ALL THE WORK. RA THIS NTUY BETRAYED AND KILLED ZORDON'S TEAM, BRAGS ABOUT DOG TO TRI, KILLS SEVERAL NOCENT PEOPLE FOR THEIR GOLD TO REGA HER POWERS, KILLS BILLY AFTER HE GIV HER THE LOTN OF THE ZEO CRYSTAL AND IS OVERALL MUCH MORE UNSETTLG AND THREATENG THAN HER ORIGAL SERI UNTERPART. DARK ACTN GIRL: SHE'S PERFECTLY WILLG AND ABLE TO THROW DOWN AGAST THE RANGERS AND MOLISH THEM WHEN THEY FIGHT HER UNMORPHED. DEFIANT TO THE END: WHEN THE RANGERS HAVE HER BEAT, SHE REF TO FACE ZORDON'S JUDGEMENT AND TRI ATTACKG THEIR MEGAZORD BY HERSELF. THIS GETS HER SLAPPED TO SPACE. DISHG OUT DIRT: SHE N CREATE HER ARMY OUT OF ANYTHG WHETHER 'S ROCK, NCRETE, OR GOLD. EVIL CANNOT COMPREHEND GOOD: IN THE MIDST OF HER VILLAO BREAKDOWN, RA RANTS THAT THE RANGERS' MARARIE N'T AND WON'T LAST; HAVG DISRD HER BOND WH HER OWN TEAM (THOUGH SHE IMPLI THAT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN QUE THAT SIMPLE), RA IS CLEARLY UNABLE TO TLY APPRECIATE THE TE IENDSHIP THE RANGERS HAVE VELOPED. EVIL FORMER FRIEND: WAS PART OF ZORDON'S TEAM BEFORE BETRAYG AND KILLG THEM TO TRY AND OBTA THE ZEO CRYSTAL. EVIL IS HAMMY: SHE'S A CARD-CARRYG VILLA, AND HAS THE APPROPRIATE EXAGGERATED AND TENSE PERFORMANCE. FALLEN HERO: SHE WAS ONCE THE GREEN RANGER BEFORE BEG A VILLA. HER FIRST SCENE POWER RANGERS (2017) IS OF HER THE FULL GREEN RANGER ARMOR. FASHNABLE ASYMMETRY: HER GREEN RANGER ARMOR IS MISSG SOME PIEC, RULTG A MISMATCH BETWEEN THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIS. GO OUT WH A SE: SHE S AS SHE EEZ SPACE, WHICH SEEMS TO DITE THAT SHE KNOWS THAT SHE'S GOG TO BE BACK SOMEDAY. GREEN AND MEAN: SHE WEARS GREEN SCE SHE WAS THE FORMER GREEN RANGER AND SHE IS FAR OM BEG A GOOD PERSON. HERO KILLER: SHE HAS BRAGGED THAT SHE HAS KILLED RANGERS BEFORE, SPECIFILLY SHE KILLED ZORDON'S TEAM. LATER, SHE DROWNS BILLY WHILE HOLDG THE RANGERS HOSTAGE. HOT WCH: AVERTED FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE MOVIE, BUT BE MORE SUPERFICIALLY ATTRACTIVE AS SHE REGAS HER POWERS. IT'S LATER ZIG-ZAGGED, AS SHE GETS A WOLF WHISTLE OM A NSTCTN WORKER (WHO SE HER A FORM-FTG OUTF OM SOME DISTANCE AWAY), BUT HER FACIAL HORROR TAK AWAY ANY PARTICULAR ATTRACTIVE QUALI SHE MAY HAVE. HUMAN ALIENS: UNLIKE HER UNAMBIGUOLY ALIEN TEAMMAT, RA HAS NO NOTABLE DITORS OF BEG OM OUTER SPACE. THIS WORKS TO HER ADVANTAGE THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE'S FIRST TWO ACTS, AS SHE'S ABLE TO MOVE AROUND THE TOWN MOSTLY UNNOTICED WHILE GATHERG GOLD. IMMUNE TO BULLETS: A SHOTGUN BLAST TO THE CHT ONLY MANAG TO KNOCK HER DOWN RATHER THAN ACTUALLY DO ANY DAMAGE. JACK BER INTERROGATN TECHNIQUE: SHE TORTUR ZACK ONT OF BILLY AND THE OTHERS ORR TO FORCE HIM TO REVEAL THE LOTN OF THE ZEO CRYSTAL. KEYSTONE ARMY: SHE IS THE KEYSTONE. GOLDAR AND HER PUTTI GIVE THE POWER RANGERS A HARD TIME BUT ONCE THE RANGERS GET THE BRIGHT IA OF TAKG HER OUT, BOTH QUICKLY FALL APART. FORTUNATELY GOLDAR DO SO SLOWLY ENOUGH THAT HE HAS ENOUGH TIME TO REVIVE HER, AND SHE THEN PROTECTS HERSELF SI HIS CHT TO STOP THEM DOG AGA. WHEN THE MEGAZORD BCHSLAPS HER TO SPACE, GOLDAR N BE SEEN ATOMIZG AS SHE FLI TO ORB. MAGIC STAFF: ONCE SHE'S GATHERED ENOUGH GOLD, RA F TO A STAFF WHICH RRI HER POWER . MOOK MAKER: CAN CREATE HER PUTTY PATROLLERS OM SEEMGLY WHATEVER MATERIAL IS AROUND HER, SCE THERE'S NO FSTER TO DO FOR HER HERE. MYSTER PAST: IT'S NEVER SAID WHY SHE TURNED AGAST ZORDON AND HIS TEAM OF RANGERS BACK THE DAY. WAS A LT FOR POWER? WAS SHE TURNED TO THE DARK SI BY SOMEONE LIKE LORD ZEDD OR MASTER VILE? SHE SAID ZORDON AND THE OTHER RANGERS TREATED HER LIKE AN OUTSIR, BUT 'S RA SAYG THIS AS SHE'S TRYG TO TEMPT TRI AWAY OM THE TEAM, SO THERE'S A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE SHE'S NOT TELLG THE TTH (AT LEAST NOT ENTIRELY). MYTHOLOGY GAG: WHEN GOLDAR IS FALLY REBORN, RA SAYS HER INIC TCHPHRASE, "MAKE MY MONSTER GROW!" WHEN THE MEGAZORD SENDS HER FLYG TO SPACE, SHE N BE SEEN HEADG TO THE MOON, REFERENCG HER LAIR THE ORIGAL SERI. NAM TO RUN AWAY OM REALLY FAST: RA REPULSA, SE NEED REERATG. NO SENSE OF PERSONAL SPACE: SHE RS TRI'S FACE WHILE BRAGGG ABOUT KILLG PREV RANGERS. NOT TO MENTN SHE STICKS HER FGERS TO THE MOUTH OF A JEWELRY STORE EMPLOYEE TO SEE IF SHE HAS ANY GOLD TEETH. "NOT SO DIFFERENT" REMARK: WHILE NONTG TRI HER HOME, RA PAR THE TWO OF THEM, CLAIMG THAT THEY'RE BOTH OUTSIRS ON THEIR TEAMS, THOUGH 'S NOT CLEAR IF RA IS BEG HONT, PROJECTG HER OWN ISSU ONTO TRI, OR JT FLAT-OUT LYG TO MANIPULATE HER. PAFUL TRANSFORMATN: POSSIBLY BEE THE IS DAMAGED OR RPTED, DONNG THE PLETE SU HER TO LET OUT SOUNDS OF PA WHILE PARTS OF HER SU GROW OUT OF HER SK. PARTIAL TRANSFORMATN: AFTER BEG H BY A METEOR, HER ARMOR IS STROYED AND SHE IS KNOCKED TO THE OCEAN. AFTER SHE IS AWAKENED LNS OF YEARS LATER, RA IS UNABLE TO FULLY MORPH TO HER ARMOR, WH APPEARG ON HER BODY TWISTED PIEC WH SOME OF GROWG OUT OF HER FLH. RACE LIFT: PREV RNATNS WERE PLAYED BY A JAPANE ACTRS (STOCK FOOTAGE) AND OTHER ASIAN ACTRS (ORIGAL FOOTAGE), WHILE ELIZABETH BANKS IS WHE. SEALED EVIL A CAN: AVERTED, AS ZORDON'S FAL STRIKE AGAST HER 65,000,000 YEARS AGO DIDN'T SEAL HER AWAY SO MUCH AS JT KNOCK HER TO THE OCEAN. IF ONLY HE HAD HAD A SPACE DUMPSTER HANDY... SERIAL KILLER: AFTER HER RURRECTN, SHE BEGS MURRG PEOPLE ORR TO STEAL GOLD OM THEM, RULTG THE MEDIA LABELG HER THE "GOLD KILLER". NOTE SCE THE MOVIE ONLY TAK PLACE OVER THE URSE OF 11 DAYS, SHE WOULD TECHNILLY BE A SPREE KILLER. SIXTH RANGER TRAOR: WAS THIS TO ZORDON'S TEAM LNS OF YEARS AGO. SLASHER SE: SPORTS A WICKED GR NIGH-NSTANTLY. IT'S A MAJOR NTRIBUTOR TO HOW CREEPY SHE IS. THE SOCPATH: RA REPULSA THE SHOW, SPE HER BAD BOSS TENNCI AND LOVE FOR BEG EVIL, NEVER ME CLOSE TO BEG AS SOCPATHIC AS HER UNTERPART THE 2017 FILM. SHE DON'T HAVE ANY OF THE RTRAT AND LOVED ON THE ORIGAL HAS (AND THAT'S SAYG SOMETHG SCE SHE IS NOT WCH BANDORA LEVELS OF SYMPATHETIC), BEG AN AMB TRAOR WHO FEELS NOTHG ABOUT KILLG HER OWN RANGER TEAM AS WELL AS BILLY WHEN HE'S NO LONGER EFUL TO HER, OR EVEN NOCENT PEOPLE ORR TO GET THE POWER SHE BELIEV SHE SERV. ALSO, SHE'S SO GLEEFUL, NARCISSISTIC, AND THLS, THAT EVEN THE ENTIRETY OF HER HOMEWORLD'S POPULATN BEG WIPED OUT AS A RULT OF HER ACTNS DON'T NCERN HER THE SLIGHTT, AND FACT ENJOYS . STRGY-HAIRED GHOST GIRL: HER APPEARANCE BEFORE FULLY REGAG HER POWERS EVOK THIS. SUPER MO: LIKE THE RANGERS, SHE'S BOND TO HER POWER CO, AND HAS A LARGE NUMBER OF SUPERPOWERS EVEN WHOUT TRANSFORMG, MAKG HER TRANSFORMED STATE CLOSER TO THIS. SUPER TOUGHNS: EVEN TOUGHER THAN THE RANGERS. SHE SURVIV GETTG H BY THE METEOR THAT KILLED THE DOSRS (ALTHOUGH SHE TAK A LONG TIME TO BOUNCE BACK OM THIS), AND A ZORD BEG DROPPED ALMOST ON TOP OF HER ONLY KNOCKS HER UNNSC. EVEN BEFORE FULLY REGAG HER POWERS, SHE TAK A SHOTGUN BLAST TO THE CHT AND ALL DO KNOCK HER DOWN FOR A MOMENT. SHE'S EVEN SHOWN GRNG AFTER BEG SLAPPED TO ORB BY THE MEGAZORD, WH NO SIGN OF SER DAMAGE. THIS CANNOT BE!: HER REACTN TO THE RANGERS FORMG THE MEGAZORD. TIME ABYSS: IS OVER 65 LN YEARS OLD. UNCERTA DOOM: AFTER BEG SENT FLYG TO SPACE BY THE MEGAZORD, RA SEEMS TO PERISH, BUT SHE VISIBLY S AS HER BODY EEZ, IMPLYG THAT HER TRIP TO THE VOID MIGHT NOT BE AS FATAL AS SEEMS, WHICH WOULDN'T BE SURPRISG, AS BEG AT GROUND ZERO OF A METEOR STRIKE HAD PREVLY FAILED TO KILL HER. UNDIGNIFIED DEATH: AFTER REFG TO SURRENR TO ZORDON'S JUDGMENT, RA TRI TO OPENLY ATTACK THE MEGAZORD SELF... AND GETS BCHSLAPPED TO ORB FOR HER TROUBL. GIVEN HER SUPER TOUGHNS AND THE FACT SHE S BEFORE EEZG SPACE, SHE MAY FD HER WAY BACK TO EARTH AT SOME POT... VILLAO BREAKDOWN: AFTER SPENDG HER TIME ON SCREEN WH A MASSIVE SMUG GR, HER REACTN TO THE MEGAZORD RISG UP IS JT ABSOLUTE, OPEN-JAWED HORROR.RA: HOW?! THIS IS LATER FOLLOWED BY HER SANE ONE-WOMAN ATTACK ON THE RANGERS' MEGAZORD RATHER THAN BEG BROUGHT TO ZORDON FOR JUDGEMENT. WE CAN RULE TOGETHER: IF HER DIALOGUE WH ZORDON DURG THE OPENG SCENE IS ANY DITN, SHE OFFERED HIM THE CHANCE TO JO HER WHEN SHE TURNED TO EVIL, BUT HE MAK CLEAR THAT THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN. YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU: HER APPEARANCE AND ORIG DIFFER GREATLY OM HER UNTERPART THE ORIGAL SERI, ALMOST TO THE POT OF BEG AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CHARACTER ASI OM HER NAME. YOU HAVE OUTLIVED YOUR USEFULNS: DROWNS BILLY AFTER HE NFS THE LOTN OF THE ZEO CRYSTAL. GOLDAR GOLDAR VOICED BY: FRED TATASCREA GIANT MONSTER MA OF MOLTEN GOLD THAT RA TO DIG FOR THE ZEO CRYSTAL. ADAPTATN SPECI CHANGE: FROM AN ARMORED WGED MONKEY/GRIFF CREATURE THE SHOW TO A GIANT MONSTER CREATED BY RA OUT OF MELTED GOLD, HE STILL RETAS THE WGS THOUGH. ADAPTATNAL NONSAPIENCE: DOWNPLAYED; THE ORIGAL GOLDAR HAD A BOMBASTIC PERSONALY AND ULD SPEAK PERFECTLY WELL, WHEREAS THIS ONE NEVER SPEAKS AND THE ONLY HT OF PERSONALY HE SHOWS IS HIS LOYALTY TO RA. COMPOSE CHARACTER: AS RA IS TO THE GREEN RANGER THIS ADAPTATN, SO IS GOLDAR TO THE DRAGONZORD. SHE EVEN MERG WH HIM HALFWAY THROUGH THE BATTLE A SIAR PLACE TO JASON'S CKP ON THE MEGAZORD. ARGUABLY ONE WH CYCLOPSIS, A ZORD WHOM GOLDAR HIMSELF PILOTED THE FIRST SEASON FALE. CURB-STOMP BATTLE: ON THE RECEIVG END OF A DOWNPLAYED EXAMPLE; ONCE THE RANGERS FIGURE OUT HOW TO NTROL MEGAZORD GOLDAR GO DOWN FAIRLY QUICKLY, ALTHOUGH HE MANAG TO GET A FEW HS BEFOREHAND. EVIL COUNTERPART: SEEMGLY ONE TO MEGAZORD. GOLDAR'S HEAD, PARTICULARLY THE HORNS AND PORTN WHERE HIS FACE WOULD BE REMBLE MEGAZORD'S OWN HORNS AND VISOR, AS WELL AS SPORTG A SIAR BUILD. RA EVEN F WH HIM SAME PLACE WHERE JASON'S CKP IS LOTED ON MEGAZORD. THE FACELS: HIS "FACE" IS JT A SWIRLG MASS OF GOLD. IN NAME ONLY: HE SHAR ALMOST NOTHG MON WH THE ORIGAL GOLDAR, ASI OM THE NAME AND HAVG GOLD ARMOR. KAIJU: A GIANT MONSTER FORMED OUT OF LIQUID GOLD. KNIGHT OF CEREB: INVERTED, THAT HIS APPEARANCE ROUGHLY MARKS THE POT WHERE THE MOVIE JUMPS OM A SOMBER TEENAGE ANGST FLICK TO THE CHEY, OVER-THE-TOP ACTN THAT POWER RANGERS IS KNOWN FOR. MEANGFUL NAME: HE IS A GIANT MONSTER MA OF GOLD. MYTHOLOGY GAG: IS THE FIRST GIANT MONSTER THE RANGERS E THEIR ZORDS TO FIGHT JT LIKE DAY OF THE DUMPSTER. UNDYG LOYALTY: RA SPEAKS TO HIM EQUENTLY AND EVEN REFERS TO HIM AS A AR IEND, THERE ARE MULTIPLE MOMENTS WHERE HE REACH OUT TO HER AS IF TO MAKE SURE SHE'S ALRIGHT, AND AT ONE POT HE HEALS HER JURI OM THE FIGHTG WHOUT PROMPTG. WGED HUMANOID: AS A LL BACK TO THE GOLDAR OF THE SERI, THIS GOLDAR HAS A PAIR OF WGS AND A HUMANOID BODY.ALLI

- ONE OF THE POWER RANGERS IS GAY
POWER RANGERS' GAY MOMENT IS A GOOD STEP, BUT A SMALL ONE
The words “first” and “gay” have a Pavlovian effect on many queer fans of pop culture, and even more so for queer fans of superhero stuff. Dpe the headl, Power Rangers skips any dramatic "yep, I'm gay" admissn, and stead opts for nonchalance. A report last year om the Gay and Lbian Alliance Agast Defamatn (GLAAD) found that of 126 major stud releas 2015 only 17.
In addn to the Yellow Ranger's mighty moment, Disney—which received a “failg” ratg om GLAAD 2016 for s track rerd wh LGBTQ characters—also clud a gay character last week’s rerd-settg Bety and the Beast.
Josh Gad’s character LeFou, acrdg to director Bill Condon, featured the stud's first “exclively gay moment, ” a brief dance-floor twirl between LeFou and one of Gaston’s henchmen. No fanfare, jt gay-moment momentum got another boost when both Bety and the Beast and Power Rangers ped censors' censure abroad.

POWER RANGERS THE POWER RANGERS IN GENERAL NO ONE MAN SHOULD HAVE ALL THAT POWER... SO GIVE TO FIVE. YOU FIVE ARE THE POWER RANGERS.— ZORDON, CHRISTENG THE NEW GENERATN OF RANGERSA TEAM OF SUPERHERO FORMED OM FIVE ORDARY HIGH SCHOOL STUNTS WHO HER THE POWER COS OF THE PREV EARTH POWER RANGERS BY FDG THEM A MG QUARRY, AND ARE TASKED BY ZORDON TO STOP RA REPLA BEFORE SHE UNVERS EARTH'S ZEO CRYSTAL AND S POWER TO STROY ALL LIFE ON THE PLA. ADAPTATNAL ANGST UPGRA: THE ORIGAL MMPR TEAM WERE ALL FAIRLY STRAIGHT-LACED HIGH SCHOOLERS (WHO WERE ALL FAIRLY POPULAR WH THEIR PEERS) DOG LOADS OF CHARY WORK, WORKG WH KIDS TO BUILD THEIR TEEM AND THEY WERE ALL CLOSE IENDS LONG BEFORE THEY BEME RANGERS. THIS MOVIE HAS THEM ALL BE OUTSTS OR OTHERWISE WH SOME PERSONAL MONS THEY ARE TRYG TO AL WH, AND DON'T REALLY KNOW EACH OTHER WELL BEFORE BEG RANGERS. SO, TEENAGERS WH ATTU. ADAPTATNAL BADASS: OBVLY, THE RANGERS HAVE NEVER REALLY BEEN WIMPS, BUT THIS VERSN, THEY ARE PHYSILLY ENHANCED BY THE POWER COS EVEN BEFORE THEY MORPH. BILLY ENDS UP NO SELLG A HEAD-BUTT OM A BULLY BEE OF . THE ZORDS HAVE A MORE ARMORED AND IMPOSG APPEARANCE PARED TO THE ORIGAL SHOW. ADAPTATN PERSONALY CHANGE: THE ORIGAL FIVE MIGHTY MORPH RANGERS WEREN'T EXACTLY GIVEN MUCH THE WAY OF PERSONALY BEYOND BEG NOBLE AND HEROIC DO-GOORS. THEY'RE A B MORE FLHED OUT HERE, EACH FACG THEIR OWN PERSONAL ISSU TO BOND AS A TEAM. ANIMAL MOTIFS: AS THE ORIGAL SHOW, THE RANGERS' HELMETS RPORATE THE SIGN OF THEIR ZORD ANIMALS. UNLIKE THE CLASSIC HELMETS, THEY E A MORE ABSTRACT REPRENTATN OF THE ANIMALS, WH THE RED RANGER BEG THE ONLY ONE THAT LOOKS MOSTLY UNCHANGED. BADASS DISTRS: ALL FIVE OF THEM ARE BRIEFLY TIED TO THE SI OF A BOAT BY RA. COMPOSE CHARACTER: SORT OF EVABLE THAT THE ORIGAL CHARACTERS DIDN'T HAVE MUCH THE WAY OF BACKSTORY OR PERSONALY BEYOND THEIR BASE STEREOTYP. ADDG ANY SORT OF MORE PLEX BACKSTORY WOULD MAKE THEM SEEM MORE LIKE ANY OF THE (LERALLY) HUNDREDS OF OTHER POWER RANGERS. IN PARTICULAR, MANY NOTED THAT THE APPARENT SET-UP OF SOME HIGH SCHOOL MISFS PLAYG WH ANCIENT DOSR ARTIFACTS AND BEG RANGERS REFLECTS, APPROPRIATELY ENOUGH, POWER RANGERS: DO THUNR. (MOST NOTABLY, WE HAVE A NE'ER-DO-WELL WHO WILL BEE RED RECG A BLACK AND NERDY KID WHO WILL BEE BLUE; THEY'RE MORE CONNER AND ETHAN THAN JASON AND BILLY OM THE START!) THEN THERE'S ZACK - ASIAN AND WH A SER PERSONALY, BRGG TO MD ZACK'S SUCCSOR ADAM MORE THAN ZACK HIMSELF. INTERTGLY, THERE WAS TALK OF TOMMY BEG FEMALE IF THERE WAS A SEQUEL. THERE IS A DOSR SEASON WH A FEMALE GREEN - YEARS AFTER THIS MOVIE. THE NEW SIGN OF THE MEGAZORD IS LS BULKY AND MORE LEANER THAN THE ORIGAL, WH WGS, THE PK RANGER'S ZORD AS THE HEAD, AND WEAPONS TEGRATED TO S ARMS. AS A RULT, LOOKS LS LIKE THE ORIGAL MEGAZORD AND MORE LIKE THE NJA MEGAFALNZORD. DPERATELY LOOKG FOR A PURPOSE LIFE: ALL OF THEM ARE SOMEWHAT DISSATISFIED WH THEIR LIV AND WANT TO BE A PART OF SOMETHG BIGGER. FIVE-TOKEN BAND: MORE SO THAN THE ORIGAL, JASON IS A WHE MALE, KIMBERLY IS BIRACIAL (SOUTH ASIAN AND WHE), BILLY IS TISTIC AND BLACK, ZACK IS EAST ASIAN, AND TRI IS A QUEER LATA. HUMONGO MECHA: THE ZORDS. IN A SGLE BOUND: CAPABLE OF JUMPG OVER A LARGE NYON, THOUGH LANDG ULD E A B OF WORK THE BEGNG. MYTHOLOGY GAG: THE TEAM NSISTG OF TEENAGERS OM DIFFERENT SOCIAL CLIQU WHO NEVER REALLY KNEW EACH OTHER BEFORE THEY BEME POWER RANGERS BRGS TO MD THE TEAM (OR RATHER THE FIRST THREE OF THE RANGERS) OM POWER RANGERS: DO THUNR. RAGTAG BUNCH OF MISFS: TWO FORMER MEMBERS OF THE POPULAR CROWD DISGRACED BY THEIR OWN PRANKS, A GUY WHO RARELY ATTENDS SCHOOL, THE NSTANT NEW GIRL GOG THROUGH AN TERNAL NFLICT OVER HER SEXUAL ORIENTATN AND A GUY ON THE TISTIC SPECTM. SUPER MO: UNLIKE THE ORIGAL SERI WHERE THEIR POWERS ONLY WORK THEIR MORPHED FORM, THE RANGERS HERE ARE PRETTY MUCH SUPERHERO JT OM BONDG WH THEIR POWER COS, MAKG THEIR MORPHED STATE E UP MORE AS THIS. NOT ONLY DO THEY GET INSTANT ARMOR, BUT THEIR PRE-EXISTG POWERS ARE GREATLY ENHANCED. SUPER STRENGTH: EVEN WHILE NOT WEARG THEIR SUS, THEY N EASILY SHATTER SKS AND SMALL OBJECTS. SUPER TOUGHNS: AFTER GETTG THE POWER S, THEY BEE TOUGH ENOUGH TO SURVIVE GETTG N OVER BY A TRA. THE TEAM: ASI OM JASON BEG THE LEAR, THE OTHERS MIX AND MATCH ARCHETYP. IN PARTICULAR, THE HALLMARKS OF THE LANCER ARE SHARED WH THE OTHER FOUR. KIMBERLY IS NUMBER TWO TO JASON. THE TWO ARE EACH OTHER'S CLOST NFIDANT, AND WHERE JASON LEADS BY EXAMPLE, SHE GIV MORE ORRS AND DIRECTN. SHE HAS SHAS OF THE HEART AS THE TEAM'S MOTIVATOR, AND BEG A LERAL CHEERLEAR MAK HER THE MOST FEME. BILLY IS THE "BT IEND" TO JASON, AS THEY'RE THE FIRST TO PAIR UP, AND HIS ATH AFFECTS HIM THE MOST. HOWEVER HE'S PRIMARILY THE SMART GUY, ABLE TO HACK ANKLE MONORS, TRIANGULATE THE LOTN OF THE ZEO CRYSTAL, AND IS A WELL-KNOWN NERD ON MP. HE'S THE ONE THAT LOV THE TEAM THE MOST, AND THE RT RE FOR HIM KD GIVG HIM ELEMENTS OF THE HEART. TRI IS THE INEFFECTUAL LONER THAT KEEPS TO HERSELF AND QUTNS HOW REAL OF A TEAM THEY EVEN ARE. THAT SAID, SHE OBVLY LOV HER BROTHERS VERY MUCH, AND IS FIERCELY LOYAL TO THE RANGERS ONCE THEY DO BOND. ZACK IS THE STIGATOR WHOSE PERSONALY CLASH THE MOST WH RT, EVEN G TO BLOWS AT ONE POT WH JASON. THAT PERSONALY IS A BOISTERO BISER BIG GUY WHO'S PRONE TO STCTN, OM DIGGG OUT THE S TO STEALG HIS ZORD FOR A JOYRI. THREE PL TWO: RED, PK, AND BLUE WERE ALL SERVG TENTN TOGETHER, AND HANG OUT MORE REGULARLY AT SCHOOL AFTER GETTG THEIR POWERS. BLACK AND YELLOW SHARE AN AFFY SCE THEY'RE BOTH LONERS. TE COMPANNS: IT TAK ALMOST THE WHOLE MOVIE, BUT THEY GET THERE AND JT TIME, BEE THEIR BEG THIS IS A REQUIREMENT FOR METAMORPHOSIS. TV TEEN: SUBVERTED. DAWSON CASTG ASI, THE TEENAGERS ARE PICTED FAIRLY REALISTILLY. WRTLER ALL OF US: PART OF THE MEGAZORD VS. GOLDAR FIGHT VOLV THEM TEAMG UP TO HAVE THE MEGAZORD GIVE GOLDAR A GERMAN SUPLEX. YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU: DUE TO RACE LIFT BEG APPLIED TO ALL OF THEM, THE RANGERS DIFFER GREATLY APPEARANCE OM THEIR UNTERPARTS THE ORIGAL SERI. ALTHOUGH AN EXCEPTN WOULD BE KIMBERLY, WHO STILL REMBL HER ORIGAL SERI UNTERPART DUE TO THE SIAR APPEARANC OF THE TWO ACTRS WHO PLAYED THE CHARACTER; YOU'D BELIEVE IF YOU WERE TOLD THEY WERE SISTERS. JASON STT JASON STTPLAYED BY: DACRE MONTGOMERYVOICED BY: VíCTOR MAR JR. (LAT-AMERIN SPANISH DUB), RYO KATSUJI (JAPANE DUB)THE RED RANGER. ADAPTATNAL JERKASS: THIS JASON IS TENTN FOR A VERY GOOD REASON, AS HE PULLED A PRANK VOLVG A W THAT GOT HIM HOE ARRT, SOMETHG UNTHKABLE OF THE ORIGAL JASON EVEN BEFORE BEG A POWER RANGER. ADAPTATNAL PERSONALY CHANGE: THE ORIGAL JASON JUMPED AT THE CALL, BUT THIS ONE IS MUCH MORE RELUCTANT. HE'S ALSO MUCH LS HOT-BLOOD THAN THE ORIGAL SERI. ADAPTATNAL WIMP: DOWNPLAYED PARED TO THE TEAM GENERAL'S ADAPTATNAL BADASS TREATMENT, BUT, AS OPPOSED TO BEG A BARE-FISTED MONK THE SERI, HE'S A FOOTBALL PLAYER HERE. ADAPTATN DYE-JOB: HIS HAIR IS LIGHTER THAN HIS UNTERPART'S THE ORIGAL SERI. BLA BELOW THE SHOULR: THE TYPE OF SWORD THAT WH HIS RANGER ARMOR. BIG BROTHER INSTCT: QUICKLY VELOPS THIS FOR BILLY. WHILE ALL THE RANGERS BEE IENDS, 'S CLEAR THAT JASON AND BILLY'S BOND IS STRONGER. BIG MAN ON CAMP: AND ON THE WHOLE TOWN, BEFORE HIS PRANK MS UP HIS KNEE AND GETS HIM A CRIMAL RERD.

DUMBASS TEENAGE SON: DOWNPLAYED, AS HE DON'T SEEM PARTICULARLY DUMB (EVEN IF THE OPENG PRANK FELY WAS); BUT HE'S ANGRY AT HIS FATHER BEG MAD AT HIM, EVEN THOUGH HIS FATHER'S DISAPPOTMENT IS PERFECTLY JTIFIED.

HERO PREFER SWORDS: THE ONLY RANGER TO WIELD A WEAPON AND, AS BEFTG THE LEAR, 'S A SWORD. HEROIC BSOD: AT BILLY'S ATH, WHILE THE OTHER RANGERS ARE CLEARLY SAD, THEY STILL REACT PROACTIVELY. MEANWHILE, HE'S A STATE OF SHOCK, AND THE OTHER RANGERS HAVE TO KEEP TELLG HIM WHAT TO DO. HEROIC BUILD: THE DIENCE GETS A GOOD LOOK AT HIS UPPER BODY WHEN HE DISVERS HIS POWERS. IT'S ALL MY FLT: HE KNOWS BILLY'S ATH IS MOSTLY ON HIM AND BEATS HIMSELF UP OVER . THE LEAR: VERY RELUCTANTLY, AT FIRST, ONLY TAKG AN ACTIVE ROLE TRYG TO LEAD THE TEAM AFTER ZORDON TELLS HIM TO DO SO AND FAC SOME RISTANCE, PECIALLY OM ZACK. HOWEVER, ONCE HE'S CID, HE TAK THE ROLE SERLY AND LATER, POTEDLY REMDS ZORDON THAT THE NEW RANGERS ARE HIS TEAM.

NICE GUY: IN GENERAL, A STAND-UP FELLOW ALWAYS TRYG TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT, WH ONLY THE OCSNAL PRANK. HE EVEN MAK A POT TO AVERT HIS EY WHEN KIMBERLY SHOWS HIM THE NU PICTURE OF AMANDA CLARK, THE OTHER CHEERLEAR. IT'S LIKELY HIS ACCINT FORCED HIM TO MATURE MORE QUICKLY THAN HIS IENDS, WHICH SHOWS WHEN HIS FATHER DISMISS THE PEOPLE HE HAS TO ATTEND TENTN WH (BEFORE JASON HAD EVEN MET ANY OF THEM) AS 'WEIRDOS AND CRIMALS', JASON MENTS THAT HIS FATHER IS RIGHT AND THEY'LL NEVER UNRSTAND EACH OTHER, CLEARLY ANGERED BY THE MENT. ODD FRIENDSHIP: WH BILLY. ONE'S A TYPIL SCHOOL JOCK AND THE OTHER'S A NERD, BUT THE IENDSHIP THEY STRIKE UP SETS THE FOUNDATN FOR THE GROUP G TOGETHER. THE QUARTERBACK: WHAT HE WAS BEFORE G , AND PROBABLY WHY HE TAK LEARSHIP SERLY ONCE HE'S NVCED. RACE LIFT: AMBIGUOLY MULTI-ETHNIC THE SHOW, MORE CLEARLY CSIAN HERE. HIS NAME ALSO GO OM THE ORIGAL JASON LEE STT TO SIMPLY JASON STT. RED IS HEROIC: THE RED RANGER, THE LEAR OF THE GROUP AND THE ONE WH THE MOST CLASSILLY HEROIC PERSONALY.

YOU ARE BETTER THAN YOU THK YOU ARE: WHEN KIMBERLY NFS TO HIM THAT SHE SENT A NAKED PICTURE OF ANOTHER GIRL TO HER BOYIEND AND EPLY REGRETS DOG SO, HAVG REALIZED WHAT AN ALPHA BCH SHE WAS BEFORE, JASON ASSUR HER THAT WHILE SHE DID A BAD THG, THAT DON'T NECSARILY MAKE HER A BAD PERSON.

KIMBERLY HART KIMBERLY HARTPLAYED BY: NAOMI STTVOICED BY: NATALIA HENCKER (LAT-AMERIN SPANISH DUB), ALICE HIROSE (JAPANE DUB)THE PK RANGER. ACTN GIRL: SHE'S THE PK RANGER AFTER ALL. ACE PILOT: SHE TAK TO RIDG THE PTEROZORD QUE WELL, MAKG HERSELF THE MOST ACTIVE RANGER THE FAL BATTLE SPE BEG JT AS MUCH OF A ROOKIE AND NERVO AS THE OTHERS (BAR ZACK). ADAPTATN DYE-JOB: HER HAIR IS DARKER THAN HER UNTERPART'S THE ORIGAL SERI. ADAPTATNAL JERKASS: WHILE SHE WAS ALSO A MATERIALISTIC, POPULAR GIRLY GIRL THE ORIGAL SERI, SHE WAS ALWAYS VERY KD AND LOOKED OUT FOR THE OTHER STUNTS. HERE SHE STARTS OFF AS A FULL OUT ALPHA BCH BEFORE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT MAK HER MORE LIKE HER SERI UNTERPART. ALPHA BCH: SURPRISGLY BEFORE THE START OF THE FILM. SHE WAS SEEMGLY THE HEAD OF THE POPULAR GIRLS AND SAW NO PROBLEM WH SHOWG A NU PICTURE OF HER IEND TO A BOY FOR NO REASON. SHE EVENTUALLY REALIZED WHAT KD OF PERSON SHE HAD TURNED TO, PROMPTG HER TO CHANGE. AMBIGUOLY BI: SHE SHAR A LOT OF SHIP TEASE WH JASON AND MENTNS AN EX-BOYIEND BUT ALSO SHAR SOME HO YAY WH TEAMMATE AND BT IEND TRI.

APOLOGETIC ATTACKER: SHE DON'T "ATTACK" TRI, PER SE (SCE SHE WASN'T TRYG TO HURT HER), BUT SHE DO APOLOGIZE TO HER BEFORE DRAGGG HER TO THE P THAT THE OTHER RANGERS JT JUMPED TO. THE ATONER: FOR HAVG BEEN AN UTTER ALPHA BCH BEFORE GETTG TO TENTN CLASS. COMPOSE CHARACTER: SHE SHAR A SIAR BACKSTORY WH SUMMER LANDSDOWN THAT THEY WERE BOTH ALPHA BCH WHO REALIZED HOW TERRIBLE PEOPLE THEY WERE AND WANTG TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER. CEL CHEERLEAR: WAS A BULLYG CHEERLEAR BEFORE HER PRANK GONE WRONG. HER SKILLS MEAN SHE'S THE ONLY ONE TO AVOID AN AWKWARD LANDG WHEN JUMPG. GIRLY BISER: EVEN BEFORE BEG A POWER RANGER, 'S OFTEN MENTNED HOW SHE KNOCKED SOME GUY'S TOOTH OUT. NOTABLY, SHE'S THE ONLY ONE TO STICK THE LANDG WHEN THEY FIRST DISVER THEIR POWERS, REFLECTG HER CHEERLEAR BACKGROUND. THE HEART: SHE HAS SOME SHAS OF THIS, PRIMARILY MOTIVATG THE TEAM TO ACTN WHEN 'S NEED. IGNORED EPIPHANY: DOWNPLAYED. DPE HER JERKASS REALIZATN, SHE STILL SHOWS THE NAKED PICTURE OF HER FORMER IEND TO JASON WHOUT THKG ABOUT (WHICH IS THE SORT OF THG THAT GOT HER KICKED OUT OF HER OLD GROUP TO BEG WH) AND SEEMS TO STILL DISLIKE HER FORMER IENDS FOR JTIFIABLY HOLDG THAT AGAST HER. IMPORTANT HAIRCUT: AFTER THE OTHER CHEERLEARS MAKE CLEAR THAT SHE'LL NEVER BE ONE OF THEM AGA, SHE CUTS HER HAIR. IT'S ALL MY FLT: KIMBERLY TO BELIEVE THAT HER OWN FAILURE TO OWN UP TO HER WRONGDOGS IS WHAT'S HOLDG THE TEAM BACK OM THEIR ATTEMPTS TO MORPH. SHE UNBURNS HERSELF TO JASON, WHO ASSUR HER THAT SHE'S BETTER THAN HER MISTAK. JERKASS REALIZATN: BEFORE THE START OF THE FILM, SHE REALIZED HOW TERRIBLE SHE WAS WHEN SHE SENT A NAKED PICTURE OF ANOTHER GIRL TO HER BOYIEND AND HAD TO WATCH WHEN THE PRCIPAL SHOWED SAID GIRL'S FATHER THE SAME PHOTO. MS. FANSERVICE: SHE STRIPS DOWN TO HER UNRWEAR FOR A LATE NIGHT SWIM. MY GREATT FAILURE: THE PRANK THAT ED HER FALL OM GRACE, SENDG A NU PICTURE OF ANOTHER GIRL TO THAT GIRL'S BOYIEND. SHE'S STILL ASHAMED OVER . NEVER MY FLT: AFTER HER PRANK THAT CROSSED THE LE, SHE PRETEND THAT WASN'T HER FLT AND EVERYONE WAS OUT TO GET HER WHEN THEY UNRSTANDABLY LASHED OUT AT HER. SHE'S STILL GETTG OVER THIS DURG THE MA STORY, AND SHE'S HEAVILY IMPLIED TO HAVE NEVER APOLOGIZED TO HER OLD IENDS. THE NOT-LOVE INTERT: THOUGH THE FILM KIMBERLY FOR THE SAME EMOTNAL BEATS A ROMANCE SUBPLOT UALLY GO THROUGH, HER RELATNSHIP WH JASON REMAS PLATONIC. NUMBER TWO: SHE'S THE ONE GIVG THE DIRECT ORRS THROUGHOUT, AND GIV MORE DIRECTN THAN JASON THE FAL FIGHT. PK MEANS FEME: SHE'S THE PK RANGER AND IS ALSO A FORMER CHEERLEAR AS WELL AS THE HEART OF THE TEAM. RACE LIFT: WHE THE ORIGAL SERI, HER ACTRS HERE HAS AN INDIAN MOTHER AND WHE FATHER. THEY'RE CALLED "PERSONAL ISSU" FOR A REASON: WHEN THE TEAM TRI TO BOND BY SHARG SECRETS BETWEEN EACH OTHER, SHE ASKS THAT THEY SKIP HER THAT NIGHT BEE SHE'S NOT READY. THEY RPECTFULLY DON'T PRS HER AND MOVE ON TO TRI. BILLY CRANSTON BILLY CRANSTONPLAYED BY: RJ CYLERVOICED BY: ALBERTO SANTILLáN (LAT-AMERIN SPANISH DUB), TOMOKAZU SUGA (JAPANE DUB)THE BLUE RANGER.

INRPTIBLE PURE PURENS: EVEN RA ADMS THAT BILLY IS PURT OF HEART AMONG THEM, WHICH IS WHY SHE KNOWS HE WILL TELL HER WHAT SHE WANTS TO KNOW IF SHE TORTUR HIS TEAMMAT AND ALSO WHY SHE KILLS HIM. MOTOR MOUTH: LS TALKG FAST (THOUGH HE DO) AND MORE JT THAT HE KEEPS TALKG, NOT SEEMG TO REALIZE WHEN HE'S SUPPOSED TO STOP OR WHAT ISN'T NECSARY TO SAY WHOUT SOMEONE ELSE'S TERVENTN.

BEFORE FULLY REGAG HER POWERS, SHE LOOKS LIKE A CRAZY HOMELS WOMAN (WHICH IS STILL A STEP UP OM WHEN SHE'S FIRST FOUND, AS SHE LOOKED MUMMIFIED WHEN FIRST FISHED OUT OF THE OCEAN). AFTER REGAG THEM, SHE LOOKS LIKE ELIZABETH BANKS A FORM-FTG OUTF. ADAPTATNAL BADASS: LIKE ALL THE BIG BADS THAT ME AFTER HER, THE TV-RA HAD A SE OF ORC ON HIS THRONE AND ALL HER PUTTI AND MONSTER OF THE WEEK HAD TO BE CREATED BEFOREHAND. THE MOVIE-RA N NOT ONLY CREATE HER ARMY OUT OF ANY MATERIAL AROUND HER BUT IS SHOWN TO BE LEADG HER ARMY AGAST THE RANGERS, OR FIGHTG THEM HERSELF. NOT TO MENTN THIS RA ED TO BE THE GREEN RANGER, AND NTU TO DRAW HER POWER OM THE DRAGON .

ADAPTATN PERSONALY CHANGE: RA REPULSA THE ORIGAL SERI WAS A MUCH MORE EDIC VILLA WHO NSTANTLY PLAED ABOUT HAVG A HEADACHE. RA THIS NTUY DO NOT REALLY HAVE THE TRAS (AT LEAST NOT TENTNALLY). ADAPTED OUT: ALL OF HER REGULAR MNS SAVE FOR GOLDAR. SQUAT, BABBOO, AND FSTER ARE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND, AND THEY ROL THEY FILLED ON THE SHOW ARE TAKEN UP BY HER HERE. DPE RA BEG THIS NTUY'S ORIGAL GREEN RANGER, NO DITN IS EVER MA OF THE EXISTENCE OF THE DRAGONZORD. AGE LIFT: FROM AT LEAST 10,000 YEARS TO OVER 65 LN YEARS OLD. ALIEN BLOOD: APPROPRIATELY ENOUGH, 'S GREEN. AMBIGUO START OF DARKNS: THE DIENCE IS TOLD THAT RA IS A FORMER RANGER WHO WENT BAD, BUT NEHER SHE NOR ZORDON PROVI MUCH TAIL ON HER BACKSTORY, LEAVG HER REASONS FOR WANTG THE ZEO CRYSTAL OR BETRAYG HER TEAMMAT UNKNOWN. AMBIGUOLY GAY / PSYCHO LBIAN: SHE GETS VERY TOUCHY-FEELY WH TRI AND THE JEWELRY STORE SK CLERK. ARCH-ENEMY: WHILE THEY DON'T SHARE ANY SCREENTIME AFTER THE OPENG SCENE, THERE'S CLEARLY A LOT OF BAD BLOOD BETWEEN RA AND ZORDON; THEY WERE TEAMMAT UNTIL RA BETRAYED HER ALLI AND KILLED THEM ALL, AND THE PRENT DAY, RA GO BERSERK AT THE NOTN OF BEG SUBJECT TO ZORDON'S JUDGEMENT, RANTG THAT SHE IS "WORTHY", NO MATTER WHAT HE SAYS. AX-CRAZY: SHE IS, AS TRI PUTS , REAL SANE.

BISHōNEN LE: AS SHE ABSORBS MORE GOLD AND REGENERAT HER POWER, SHE GO OM "BARELY SENTIENT WATERLOGGED RPSE" TO, WELL, HER PICTURE ABOVE. BOND VILLA STUPIDY: WHEN SHE PTUR THE RANGERS, HAS THEM AT HER MERCY, AND HAS WEASELED THE LOTN OF THE ZEO CRYSTAL OUT OF THEM, SHE ONLY BOTHERS TO KILL BILLY. HAD SHE DONE THE SMART THG AND SLGHTERED THEM ALL, WOULD HAVE BEEN GAME OVER FOR THE RANGERS.

DARKER AND EDGIER: IN THE ORIGAL SERI, RA WAS A HAMMY CRONE WHO MOSTLY JT SAT ON THE MOON YELLG AT HER MNS' PETENCE AND PLAG ABOUT HER HEADACH WHILE HER MONSTERS DID ALL THE WORK.

DISHG OUT DIRT: SHE N CREATE HER ARMY OUT OF ANYTHG WHETHER 'S ROCK, NCRETE, OR GOLD. EVIL CANNOT COMPREHEND GOOD: IN THE MIDST OF HER VILLAO BREAKDOWN, RA RANTS THAT THE RANGERS' MARARIE N'T AND WON'T LAST; HAVG DISRD HER BOND WH HER OWN TEAM (THOUGH SHE IMPLI THAT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN QUE THAT SIMPLE), RA IS CLEARLY UNABLE TO TLY APPRECIATE THE TE IENDSHIP THE RANGERS HAVE VELOPED. EVIL FORMER FRIEND: WAS PART OF ZORDON'S TEAM BEFORE BETRAYG AND KILLG THEM TO TRY AND OBTA THE ZEO CRYSTAL. EVIL IS HAMMY: SHE'S A CARD-CARRYG VILLA, AND HAS THE APPROPRIATE EXAGGERATED AND TENSE PERFORMANCE. FALLEN HERO: SHE WAS ONCE THE GREEN RANGER BEFORE BEG A VILLA. HER FIRST SCENE POWER RANGERS (2017) IS OF HER THE FULL GREEN RANGER ARMOR. FASHNABLE ASYMMETRY: HER GREEN RANGER ARMOR IS MISSG SOME PIEC, RULTG A MISMATCH BETWEEN THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIS. GO OUT WH A SE: SHE S AS SHE EEZ SPACE, WHICH SEEMS TO DITE THAT SHE KNOWS THAT SHE'S GOG TO BE BACK SOMEDAY. GREEN AND MEAN: SHE WEARS GREEN SCE SHE WAS THE FORMER GREEN RANGER AND SHE IS FAR OM BEG A GOOD PERSON. HERO KILLER: SHE HAS BRAGGED THAT SHE HAS KILLED RANGERS BEFORE, SPECIFILLY SHE KILLED ZORDON'S TEAM. LATER, SHE DROWNS BILLY WHILE HOLDG THE RANGERS HOSTAGE. HOT WCH: AVERTED FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE MOVIE, BUT BE MORE SUPERFICIALLY ATTRACTIVE AS SHE REGAS HER POWERS. IT'S LATER ZIG-ZAGGED, AS SHE GETS A WOLF WHISTLE OM A NSTCTN WORKER (WHO SE HER A FORM-FTG OUTF OM SOME DISTANCE AWAY), BUT HER FACIAL HORROR TAK AWAY ANY PARTICULAR ATTRACTIVE QUALI SHE MAY HAVE. HUMAN ALIENS: UNLIKE HER UNAMBIGUOLY ALIEN TEAMMAT, RA HAS NO NOTABLE DITORS OF BEG OM OUTER SPACE. THIS WORKS TO HER ADVANTAGE THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE'S FIRST TWO ACTS, AS SHE'S ABLE TO MOVE AROUND THE TOWN MOSTLY UNNOTICED WHILE GATHERG GOLD. IMMUNE TO BULLETS: A SHOTGUN BLAST TO THE CHT ONLY MANAG TO KNOCK HER DOWN RATHER THAN ACTUALLY DO ANY DAMAGE. JACK BER INTERROGATN TECHNIQUE: SHE TORTUR ZACK ONT OF BILLY AND THE OTHERS ORR TO FORCE HIM TO REVEAL THE LOTN OF THE ZEO CRYSTAL. KEYSTONE ARMY: SHE IS THE KEYSTONE. GOLDAR AND HER PUTTI GIVE THE POWER RANGERS A HARD TIME BUT ONCE THE RANGERS GET THE BRIGHT IA OF TAKG HER OUT, BOTH QUICKLY FALL APART. FORTUNATELY GOLDAR DO SO SLOWLY ENOUGH THAT HE HAS ENOUGH TIME TO REVIVE HER, AND SHE THEN PROTECTS HERSELF SI HIS CHT TO STOP THEM DOG AGA.

MOOK MAKER: CAN CREATE HER PUTTY PATROLLERS OM SEEMGLY WHATEVER MATERIAL IS AROUND HER, SCE THERE'S NO FSTER TO DO FOR HER HERE. MYSTER PAST: IT'S NEVER SAID WHY SHE TURNED AGAST ZORDON AND HIS TEAM OF RANGERS BACK THE DAY. WAS A LT FOR POWER? WAS SHE TURNED TO THE DARK SI BY SOMEONE LIKE LORD ZEDD OR MASTER VILE? SHE SAID ZORDON AND THE OTHER RANGERS TREATED HER LIKE AN OUTSIR, BUT 'S RA SAYG THIS AS SHE'S TRYG TO TEMPT TRI AWAY OM THE TEAM, SO THERE'S A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE SHE'S NOT TELLG THE TTH (AT LEAST NOT ENTIRELY). MYTHOLOGY GAG: WHEN GOLDAR IS FALLY REBORN, RA SAYS HER INIC TCHPHRASE, "MAKE MY MONSTER GROW!" WHEN THE MEGAZORD SENDS HER FLYG TO SPACE, SHE N BE SEEN HEADG TO THE MOON, REFERENCG HER LAIR THE ORIGAL SERI. NAM TO RUN AWAY OM REALLY FAST: RA REPULSA, SE NEED REERATG. NO SENSE OF PERSONAL SPACE: SHE RS TRI'S FACE WHILE BRAGGG ABOUT KILLG PREV RANGERS. NOT TO MENTN SHE STICKS HER FGERS TO THE MOUTH OF A JEWELRY STORE EMPLOYEE TO SEE IF SHE HAS ANY GOLD TEETH. "NOT SO DIFFERENT" REMARK: WHILE NONTG TRI HER HOME, RA PAR THE TWO OF THEM, CLAIMG THAT THEY'RE BOTH OUTSIRS ON THEIR TEAMS, THOUGH 'S NOT CLEAR IF RA IS BEG HONT, PROJECTG HER OWN ISSU ONTO TRI, OR JT FLAT-OUT LYG TO MANIPULATE HER. PAFUL TRANSFORMATN: POSSIBLY BEE THE IS DAMAGED OR RPTED, DONNG THE PLETE SU HER TO LET OUT SOUNDS OF PA WHILE PARTS OF HER SU GROW OUT OF HER SK. PARTIAL TRANSFORMATN: AFTER BEG H BY A METEOR, HER ARMOR IS STROYED AND SHE IS KNOCKED TO THE OCEAN. AFTER SHE IS AWAKENED LNS OF YEARS LATER, RA IS UNABLE TO FULLY MORPH TO HER ARMOR, WH APPEARG ON HER BODY TWISTED PIEC WH SOME OF GROWG OUT OF HER FLH. RACE LIFT: PREV RNATNS WERE PLAYED BY A JAPANE ACTRS (STOCK FOOTAGE) AND OTHER ASIAN ACTRS (ORIGAL FOOTAGE), WHILE ELIZABETH BANKS IS WHE. SEALED EVIL A CAN: AVERTED, AS ZORDON'S FAL STRIKE AGAST HER 65,000,000 YEARS AGO DIDN'T SEAL HER AWAY SO MUCH AS JT KNOCK HER TO THE OCEAN. IF ONLY HE HAD HAD A SPACE DUMPSTER HANDY... SERIAL KILLER: AFTER HER RURRECTN, SHE BEGS MURRG PEOPLE ORR TO STEAL GOLD OM THEM, RULTG THE MEDIA LABELG HER THE "GOLD KILLER". NOTE SCE THE MOVIE ONLY TAK PLACE OVER THE URSE OF 11 DAYS, SHE WOULD TECHNILLY BE A SPREE KILLER. SIXTH RANGER TRAOR: WAS THIS TO ZORDON'S TEAM LNS OF YEARS AGO. SLASHER SE: SPORTS A WICKED GR NIGH-NSTANTLY. IT'S A MAJOR NTRIBUTOR TO HOW CREEPY SHE IS. THE SOCPATH: RA REPULSA THE SHOW, SPE HER BAD BOSS TENNCI AND LOVE FOR BEG EVIL, NEVER ME CLOSE TO BEG AS SOCPATHIC AS HER UNTERPART THE 2017 FILM. SHE DON'T HAVE ANY OF THE RTRAT AND LOVED ON THE ORIGAL HAS (AND THAT'S SAYG SOMETHG SCE SHE IS NOT WCH BANDORA LEVELS OF SYMPATHETIC), BEG AN AMB TRAOR WHO FEELS NOTHG ABOUT KILLG HER OWN RANGER TEAM AS WELL AS BILLY WHEN HE'S NO LONGER EFUL TO HER, OR EVEN NOCENT PEOPLE ORR TO GET THE POWER SHE BELIEV SHE SERV. ALSO, SHE'S SO GLEEFUL, NARCISSISTIC, AND THLS, THAT EVEN THE ENTIRETY OF HER HOMEWORLD'S POPULATN BEG WIPED OUT AS A RULT OF HER ACTNS DON'T NCERN HER THE SLIGHTT, AND FACT ENJOYS . STRGY-HAIRED GHOST GIRL: HER APPEARANCE BEFORE FULLY REGAG HER POWERS EVOK THIS. SUPER MO: LIKE THE RANGERS, SHE'S BOND TO HER POWER CO, AND HAS A LARGE NUMBER OF SUPERPOWERS EVEN WHOUT TRANSFORMG, MAKG HER TRANSFORMED STATE CLOSER TO THIS. SUPER TOUGHNS: EVEN TOUGHER THAN THE RANGERS. SHE SURVIV GETTG H BY THE METEOR THAT KILLED THE DOSRS (ALTHOUGH SHE TAK A LONG TIME TO BOUNCE BACK OM THIS), AND A ZORD BEG DROPPED ALMOST ON TOP OF HER ONLY KNOCKS HER UNNSC. EVEN BEFORE FULLY REGAG HER POWERS, SHE TAK A SHOTGUN BLAST TO THE CHT AND ALL DO KNOCK HER DOWN FOR A MOMENT. SHE'S EVEN SHOWN GRNG AFTER BEG SLAPPED TO ORB BY THE MEGAZORD, WH NO SIGN OF SER DAMAGE. THIS CANNOT BE!: HER REACTN TO THE RANGERS FORMG THE MEGAZORD. TIME ABYSS: IS OVER 65 LN YEARS OLD. UNCERTA DOOM: AFTER BEG SENT FLYG TO SPACE BY THE MEGAZORD, RA SEEMS TO PERISH, BUT SHE VISIBLY S AS HER BODY EEZ, IMPLYG THAT HER TRIP TO THE VOID MIGHT NOT BE AS FATAL AS SEEMS, WHICH WOULDN'T BE SURPRISG, AS BEG AT GROUND ZERO OF A METEOR STRIKE HAD PREVLY FAILED TO KILL HER. UNDIGNIFIED DEATH: AFTER REFG TO SURRENR TO ZORDON'S JUDGMENT, RA TRI TO OPENLY ATTACK THE MEGAZORD SELF... AND GETS BCHSLAPPED TO ORB FOR HER TROUBL. GIVEN HER SUPER TOUGHNS AND THE FACT SHE S BEFORE EEZG SPACE, SHE MAY FD HER WAY BACK TO EARTH AT SOME POT... VILLAO BREAKDOWN: AFTER SPENDG HER TIME ON SCREEN WH A MASSIVE SMUG GR, HER REACTN TO THE MEGAZORD RISG UP IS JT ABSOLUTE, OPEN-JAWED HORROR.RA: HOW?! THIS IS LATER FOLLOWED BY HER SANE ONE-WOMAN ATTACK ON THE RANGERS' MEGAZORD RATHER THAN BEG BROUGHT TO ZORDON FOR JUDGEMENT. WE CAN RULE TOGETHER: IF HER DIALOGUE WH ZORDON DURG THE OPENG SCENE IS ANY DITN, SHE OFFERED HIM THE CHANCE TO JO HER WHEN SHE TURNED TO EVIL, BUT HE MAK CLEAR THAT THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN. YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU: HER APPEARANCE AND ORIG DIFFER GREATLY OM HER UNTERPART THE ORIGAL SERI, ALMOST TO THE POT OF BEG AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CHARACTER ASI OM HER NAME. YOU HAVE OUTLIVED YOUR USEFULNS: DROWNS BILLY AFTER HE NFS THE LOTN OF THE ZEO CRYSTAL. GOLDAR GOLDAR VOICED BY: FRED TATASCREA GIANT MONSTER MA OF MOLTEN GOLD THAT RA TO DIG FOR THE ZEO CRYSTAL. ADAPTATN SPECI CHANGE: FROM AN ARMORED WGED MONKEY/GRIFF CREATURE THE SHOW TO A GIANT MONSTER CREATED BY RA OUT OF MELTED GOLD, HE STILL RETAS THE WGS THOUGH. ADAPTATNAL NONSAPIENCE: DOWNPLAYED; THE ORIGAL GOLDAR HAD A BOMBASTIC PERSONALY AND ULD SPEAK PERFECTLY WELL, WHEREAS THIS ONE NEVER SPEAKS AND THE ONLY HT OF PERSONALY HE SHOWS IS HIS LOYALTY TO RA. COMPOSE CHARACTER: AS RA IS TO THE GREEN RANGER THIS ADAPTATN, SO IS GOLDAR TO THE DRAGONZORD. SHE EVEN MERG WH HIM HALFWAY THROUGH THE BATTLE A SIAR PLACE TO JASON'S CKP ON THE MEGAZORD. ARGUABLY ONE WH CYCLOPSIS, A ZORD WHOM GOLDAR HIMSELF PILOTED THE FIRST SEASON FALE. CURB-STOMP BATTLE: ON THE RECEIVG END OF A DOWNPLAYED EXAMPLE; ONCE THE RANGERS FIGURE OUT HOW TO NTROL MEGAZORD GOLDAR GO DOWN FAIRLY QUICKLY, ALTHOUGH HE MANAG TO GET A FEW HS BEFOREHAND. EVIL COUNTERPART: SEEMGLY ONE TO MEGAZORD. GOLDAR'S HEAD, PARTICULARLY THE HORNS AND PORTN WHERE HIS FACE WOULD BE REMBLE MEGAZORD'S OWN HORNS AND VISOR, AS WELL AS SPORTG A SIAR BUILD. RA EVEN F WH HIM SAME PLACE WHERE JASON'S CKP IS LOTED ON MEGAZORD. THE FACELS: HIS "FACE" IS JT A SWIRLG MASS OF GOLD. IN NAME ONLY: HE SHAR ALMOST NOTHG MON WH THE ORIGAL GOLDAR, ASI OM THE NAME AND HAVG GOLD ARMOR. KAIJU: A GIANT MONSTER FORMED OUT OF LIQUID GOLD. KNIGHT OF CEREB: INVERTED, THAT HIS APPEARANCE ROUGHLY MARKS THE POT WHERE THE MOVIE JUMPS OM A SOMBER TEENAGE ANGST FLICK TO THE CHEY, OVER-THE-TOP ACTN THAT POWER RANGERS IS KNOWN FOR. MEANGFUL NAME: HE IS A GIANT MONSTER MA OF GOLD. MYTHOLOGY GAG: IS THE FIRST GIANT MONSTER THE RANGERS E THEIR ZORDS TO FIGHT JT LIKE DAY OF THE DUMPSTER. UNDYG LOYALTY: RA SPEAKS TO HIM EQUENTLY AND EVEN REFERS TO HIM AS A AR IEND, THERE ARE MULTIPLE MOMENTS WHERE HE REACH OUT TO HER AS IF TO MAKE SURE SHE'S ALRIGHT, AND AT ONE POT HE HEALS HER JURI OM THE FIGHTG WHOUT PROMPTG.
