Surprise! He looks disgusting!
Another character’s look for the upcoming live-action Power Rangers film has been revealed in toy form.
A new commercial showcasing the boring-looking Megazord toy also features the classic villain Goldar, in a scene that’s probably similar to the climax of the film.
Check it out below.
Goldar is of course one of Rita Repulsa’s warriors and a constant foe of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. In the original show, he is a winged ape-like humanoid creature wearing golden armor.
This toy obviously isn’t that.
This thing is a droopy, ugly, mess. It’s quite literally dripping gold, and much like Megazord, it looks like a dull, boring, CGI disaster.
It’s becoming more and more clear that the campy and goofy character designs of the original series won’t be present in this film adaptation. Turning Power Rangers into a gritty, Chronicle-esque reboot could definitely be cool, but we hope the light-hearted silliness that’s made the series endure as long as it has remains, in some way, intact.
However, I can at least think of one guy who probably loves Goldar’s new look.
