2) Rangers Vs. Putties
Things quickly heat up as the trailer gives us our first proper look at the Rangers in action. After a brief hero shot moment of the team emerging from the dark in slow-motion, the Rangers get to work battling a troupe of Rita Repulsa’s soldiers.
Fans will recognize these as modern versions of the Putty Patrollers, who the Rangers would easily beat up in droves in pretty much every episode of the TV show. As far as henchmen go, the Putties must be the most infamously ineffectual of the lot. It also didn’t help that they looked like exactly what they were – just a bunch of guys in grey lycra suits. Going by the trailer, the Putties might look more formidable here – they’re taller, bigger and less humanoid – but they’re still just as easy to defeat. Still, we wouldn’t want it any other way.
As for what they are exactly, at one point we see Rita ram her staff into the ground, causing Putties to rip themselves up from the earth. It looks like Rita will retain her ability to make monsters in the movie, and can now form rock and soil into golems to act as her foot soldiers.
