It’s good to hear Scott praising the maturity of her character; the majority of the audience for Power Rangers will be older, having grown up with the franchise on TV.
Saban and Lionsgate are hoping to spawn a new franchise with this Power Rangers reboot, and they could well manage to achieve it, too – if they really can offer strong characters, along with everything that always made Power Rangers so much fun to watch in the first place.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Power Rangers without epic monsters and villains to battle against, and the Rangers’ biggest nemesis comes in the form of Rita Repulsa, played by Elizabeth Banks.
It’s fair to say that we want that extra depth in things we watch, now, and we want to see that maturity reflected on screen.
