Not feeling the movie at all

Am I the only person who just doesn't ... care about this movie? Like, at all?

Like, okay. Maybe I'm completely underestimating the fanbase, or general appeal of a PR movie, but whenever I look at this thread, I feel like asking, "Do people really believe that PR has the same nostalgia or longevity that the Transformers or the Ninja Turtles have, that they can pump a hundred million into a new independent movie ... that'll probably have so much digital effects that we may as well be watching a cartoon ... and it'll actually be popular or successful?"

I know I don't.

And I just can't get my head around that idea. A big part of me (for the sake of argument, let's say, over fifty percent) just expects that, director or not, the movie will end up falling into development hell for the next decade, and then quietly fade away into oblivion. In fact, part of me hopes for that, because every time we get a new script-leak (and this time, it's totally for real and authentic!!1!), they all sound horrible.

My emotional investment in this movie is just, zero. I literally don't care whether it gets made or not. It just means nothing to me. "OMG there's a new Power Rangers movie!!1!" And? So what? I probably won't even see it (and this is where the, "Oh you're just being silly because you'll totally see it when it comes out!" crowd makes themselves known. Like how I said I didn't want to see "Transformers 4", and I didn't? Or how I didn't want to see "TMNT", and I didn't? Or how I don't want to see the new "Fantastic Four" movie, so I won't? And "Batman versus Superman" is entirely dependent on one particular spoiler, because if that spoiler turns out to be true, then I'll be avoiding that one like the plague as well).

And maybe this is me betraying the brand, but I don't get why they'd even want to make this. If this actually gets made, and it comes even close to breaking even, let alone making a profit ...

... honestly, I'd be incredibly shocked.

So let's bring on the next stupid script being leaked so everyone can rage about. It's like, does it even matter?
