This was my idea for a Power Rangers reboot, with certain changes.. I'm hesitant to say "make it darker", especially 'cos it's Disney. So rather than say darker, they should definitely make it 'more serious'. Something similar in tone to POTC with lots of action but people of all ages can get into..
Power Rangers: Guardians
- Zordon is a humanoid alien.
- Zordon and Zedd are of the same race, perhaps even brothers. They created the power rangers to act as guardians to their planet.
- There were 6 power coins in total. They only work with those who have certain genetic markers and were handed out to those who were worthy to act as guardians.
- Zedd doesn't have this marker but unbeknown to Zordon, Zedd created a secret power coin, more powerful than the others.
- Goldar is one of the original guardians but is loyal to Zedd. He steals the 7th coin which Zedd uses to grow Goldar to gigantic sizes and start war on his planet.
- Zordon, himself a guardian, is entrusted with the 6 remaining power coins and flees his dying planet and the attacking army of Lord Zedd in his ship, the Alpha-5 which serves as a command station and houses the Zords.
- Zedd has no powers like in the show, Rita is his queen who is always on the look out for a chance to backstab him and take over his army and Goldar is his loyal general.
- Zordon crash lands on earth where he gives the power coins to 5 teens who are near to or investigating the crash site.
- The group, from the local school, are familiar with each other but aren't friends (they all belong to different social groups) so the movie would be as much about them learning to come together as a team than the action.
- The team would involve either the 1st or 2nd group of characters but miss out Tommy until the 2nd film. The zords would be based on the dino zords from the first series but have a more alien looking influence. (similar to how Oozes Metamophocons did in the first movie.)
- The rangers, on a training mission, end up using the zords to help out when an earthquake causes the suspension bridge to start breaking up, where they gain media coverage.
- Zedd, following Zordon to earth would send out his putty men to try and track down the teens and the power coins
- The putty men who would act as minor villains are Zedds army, a group of his people that he turned into zombie-like beings to do his bidding.
- The final fight would be between the giant Goldar (bigger than the zords seperately but equal to the Megazord) and the Megazord.
The 2nd film would see Zedd finding the 6th power coin (lost in the crash of the Alpha-5 in the first film) which is the coin for the Dragon Zord, the most powerful Dinozord. Zedd would recruit an introduced Tommy and corrupt him with the power of the Green Coin. The 2nd film would basically be the whole Green Ranger saga...
