Re: Elizabeth Banks as Rita
 

I do think her design is a bit off. But I will have more of a final opinion when I see the movie.

Re: Elizabeth Banks as Rita
 

At first glance she looks interesting. She definitely seems like she is putting her own spin on the character.

Re: Elizabeth Banks as Rita
 

So I was watching the latest tv spot with rita . And there is a scene where Rita is attacking Kim or Trini. And she mentioned being full of hope like her once. Which is interesting since Zordon refers to her as pure evil in the second full trailer. It does further point to her being a former Ranger. If so, she must have done some pretty heinous things for Zordon to say she is pure evil. Since it seems she may have been a hero once.

Re: Elizabeth Banks as Rita
 

It would make sense for Rita and Zordon to be mortal enemies like they seemed to be in season 1. I suspect Rita's betrayal effected Zordon deeply personally and perhaps resulted in the death's of Zordon's team. And likely led to Zordon being stuck in his tube or whatever he is supposed to be stuck in now.

She seems more scary than the old Rita.

Re: Elizabeth Banks as Rita
 

She seems like she will be much more menacing than the original.

Re: Elizabeth Banks as Rita
 

I think its supposed to be Trini that Rita is attacking. Which is funny since she seems pretty jaded in the previews....Funny with Rita saying that line about her being full of hope.

Re: Elizabeth Banks as Rita
 

I think she looks awful!. She looks nothing like Rita and feels like a totally different villain.

Re: Elizabeth Banks as Rita
 

She kind or reminds of of Trakeena.

Re: Elizabeth Banks as Rita
 

I think they are making her an original character in a lot of ways. That feels like the best way to go.
