>It appears that issues of sexuality and gender won’t be the only real-world topics covered in Power Rangers, however. In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant, Blue Ranger actor RJ Cyler speaks about his character Billy – a Ranger on the Autistic Spectrum. Cyler claims:
>“I just wanted to show a different, like, viewpoint of people that are seen as being on the spectrum, right? Or people diagnosed with Autism, ’cause it’s like I feel like us being outsiders looking in and I take that, I cast my own stone when I say that, ’cause there’s a lot that I didn’t know before…
>I actually sat down and shut my mouth and actually just listened and you know, accepted every bit of information with no judgement… I knew that it was my job to show, you know, that people that are on the spectrum are just regular people, literally, just how we talk, how me and Becky [Becky G, Yellow Ranger] talk, they feel the same way, they have the same emotions, they wanna be loved, that want people to love, they want relationships they want, you know, connections, and it’s just like I was really excited to be able to play that ’cause I know it means so much to so many people, ’cause all of us are affected by it… and it’s something I feel like we needed to have in this movie to be honest.”
Fuck. this. shit. Hollywood is directly attacking black guys, like that Moonlight film saying we're all homos, now they attack Black Excellence by saying we're autistic slow-in-the-minds fuck off allright

I see no problem with using the Power Rangers franchise as a means of tackling controversial issues that are affecting teenagers.
It's literally about five teenagers sympathizing with each other and learning to work together for some greater good. Using Power Rangers in this way just makes sense.

Someday people will be tired of this. Unnecessary representation that when done over and over will just make said group mad, and people who got left mad too.
Until this day I'm just going to shitpost on everything.

they actually did that in Ice Age 3

That speed line effect is so simple to make I'm surprised this is an official image. I used to use the same effect when I was a huge fag making signatures/banners for normie forums.

What exactly does this add to the story?

The people running the media determine if people get tired of it now. They program the reaction, not you. They can keep feeding the consumer that they created.

why are we promoting autism? we should be aborting them when signs are shown and throwing the ones who get through the system off of cliffs. Fuck this timeline man.

I'm not reading all the posts in this thread but here's my too cents:
-I am 100% with Becky being a lesbian because she a cute -I find it hilarious that there is an autistic power ranger and even though he'll probably be portrayed mostly normally I'm definitely going to watch it now
Also, movie was always going to be shit, but I just hope the main 5 are campy and fun enough to make it somewhat enjoyable.

While I'm sure this movie is going to suck I'm not going to trust the same site that claimed a bunch of shows by Ishinomori were Power Rangers knock offs.

Aaron Walker
kikes tried to bring down white men, now they're going after the bix noods
Josiah Bennett
>"Woah I'm unironically upset by this because my character has autism for some reason." It's a reference to the original show where the black ranger was a black dude.
