Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............

This is Elizabeth Banks as Rita Repulsa. I'm calling a straight up "Aw hell nah" on this one. I'm fine with some redesign, but this is just a step too far. If Rita was ever anything, it was neither sleek nor sexy. Party foul, designers.
But as always, I'm probably wrong, so...thoughts?




Why is she so green? I thought this was some kind of Poison Ivy alternative at first. Didn't even recognize her as Rita.
Have we learned nothing from Inside Out? Green is the color of disgust. Repulsa - Repulsive. ;)
Haha, good call.
I think it all depends on the tone they're looking for in the Power Rangers movie. If they're looking to go dark as was the case in the Unofficial Power Ranger Movie then I can understand trying to get a more adult vibe since tbh, I'd go see it.
However if they're targeting making a super kid friendly film this has WTF DUDE written all over it.
Point in defense: Elizabeth Banks.
The defense rests.
I was never a Power Rangers fan. She looks fine, I just never would've recognized her as Rita.
Fair enough. I freakin' loved it as a kid, though. I was pretty sure that I'd grow up to be either a Major League pitcher or the Green Ranger. I got closer to the Green Ranger...
