All I gotta say....WTF?!?!?

I thought it was great. 10/10, would morph again.

It's satire.

This was made by Joseph Kahn, who is pretty notorious for making movies that are almost serious(but not really).  In this case he is poking fun at the super-serious "grimdark" gritty reboots of childhood franchises.  Katee Sackhoff as the Pink Ranger was kind of brilliant in that way, since she is constantly fancast in everything.

So, just a forewarning, if you think having Power Rangers blow people's heads off is super awesome, then you are probably who he was making fun of:

I've heard that Sackhoff is going to be cast in the live action My Little Ponies film, where she will be gunning down other Ponies on account of them losing their way.  Also, there will be robots posing as Ponies as part of a conspiracy. /tongueincheek.

Either way, as satire or serious, it's an awesome interpretation.

She's an actor and this probably took all of an afternoon for her to film, it's good for the ol' resume.  Plus I'm sure they paid her.

[Autumn]

true......But can she live it down?

[Vincent07]

I do not care. I want more of this.

Bandai Issued cease and desists and forced them to pull the videos

[Edge]

Boooooooo.

It is back up with a pretty big disclaimer about it having no official affiliation with Power Rangers, is not for profit, has no purpose or future beyond being a short, etc etc. Lionsgate is supposed to be developing a Power Rangers film for 2016 so I guess Saban felt this could damage the brand or cause some unreasonable (for them, anyways) expectations of what the film will have.
