Lots of interesting stylistic choices in that short. The visuals looked great (green ranger's shield especially) and I've never seen subtitles that interesting. The nod to the Blue Ranger being gay was an especially nice touch considering actor David Yost's rocky history with the production team (Cliffs notes, he's gay, and some of the crew gave him #### saying a gay guy couldn't be a superhero).

Power Rangers doesn't need a gritty reboot, and I don't think the goal was to turn the short into a feature film about MMPR.

That said, it's a helluva calling card, and I'd give that director some money to make a real movie on the strength of it.
