Power Rangers short film

I've seen a lot of power rangers material pop up over the internet over the years. It's either you love the show or hate. Some could easily agrue about the quality of power rangers and low level production, acting, and special effects seen in the early nighties. For over fifteen years the series was considers a laughting stock and in some eyes still is. Some highly intelligent people might argue that kids that watched power rangers weren't very smart. I beg to differ in many ways but that's not turn Powers Rangers into an intelgence test because that's clearly not what Haim Saban set out to do. With Nerd culture exploding like the Big Bang it's become more than just a theory. Yet one might have many. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, or just Power Rangers has really grown back into a pop culture phenonomen in recent years. Many aspects have from both geek culture nighties nostalgia. I've seen a few powers Rangers sort films pop up over the internet over the years. Fans conventions and comicons have also brought the Power Rangers back into pop culture while some take it more seriously than other thier ability to entertain. Red Rising was a great fan film that poped up on the internet a few years ago. One simply titled Power Rangers which was floating around the internet in either 2012 or 2013 also featured a darker interpretation of the Power Rangers. For reasons which I can't understand it's been taken down, however it featured the coins falling and a   green ranger Tommy quoting "there all gone." If any one knows where I can find this short film please direct me to where. But yesterday's online 14 minuet short film has the internet ablaze starring James Van Der Beek and Katie Sackhoff. The movie for me as a fan wasn't the dark Power Rangers interpretation I was looking for. I mean the swearing was a bit out of place along with the serous ruthless tone. It was kinda poorly written and didn't give the gritty Power Rangers us fans had been hoping for. I need to watch it again to really take it all in. Everyone favorite rangers Jason David Frank came spoke out against the short film. He says the franchise should stay strictly for children and I'm not sure if I agree with him despite I love that man to death since he's my biggest child hood idle. But I understand where's he's coming from and how he feels about this franchise. Like the Powers Rangers franchise itself you either love it or you hate it. D
