"This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic, have fallen with a dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple... that time has past. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always."

Power Rangers short

It's weird that they use the work "reboot" next to what is openly a fan film.
I don't know. Not interested in Power Rangers, not really interested in whatever this is either. There's an interview with one of the people behind it that was linked to in the rpg.net thread on this. But I'm not sure I can see "let's go as over the top with this as possible" as making it *not* a kind of shallow approach. -Morgan. 
R-rated Power Rangers 'fan' movie.
... Nope. So very NOPE. 
Given I was never particularly fond of Power Rangers, or any of Saban's shows really, I have to say, "Meh."

Over in the RPG.net thread on this, user "awesomeocalypse" posted some interesting thoughts on the more violently repulsed fan reactions to this thing.
PR has always been pretty much a "WTF is this shit" thing for me whenever I've seen anything related to it... but I can relate to the "It fundamentally bothers me that this even exists." feeling. Because it's pretty much exactly how I felt about Madoka Magica. I'm not sure how well the rest matches up though. It's just too distant for me now. -Morgan. Also, after reading a lot of yuri doujinshi based on the series, I felt better about it...
I'm waiting on the "grim, gritty" reboot of Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, or Blue Falcon and Dynomutt, personally. [/sarcasm]
So, you said something about Electra Woman and Dyna Girl?

I actually have hope for that, actually. The Krofft Brothers are actually on-board for it! Have the intervening 40 years rusted or sharpened their ability to do more with less?

Well, the topic of conversation also got yoinked from Youtube while Disney/Saban gibber in outrage yadda yadda.

They actually came to an agreement with Saban and both versions are back up.

From what I understand, this is pretty much a parody rather than an actual interest-gauge for an actual reboot. It's actually part of why it was allowed to be put up, much like [Insert X] parody videos on Youtube.

That, and the original Battlestar Galactica did better at not turning its final seasons into a giant middle finger to everyone that thought it was decent, and yes, I'm including 1980 in that
