History Headscratchers / PowerRangers2017

** It was a masturbation joke.
* If Zack is of Chinese ancestry, how come his last name is still Taylor?

** It was a masturbation joke.

** And maybe they were worried about Trini since she was out quite late. The campfire bit was just a spontaneous thing that Zack asked them to join him for after training, and a deleted scene shows Trini sneaking in through the window after this, so her parents might have actually gone out to look for her and taken the children so as not to leave them in the house alone.

* Does the Morphing Grid [[spoiler:have resurrection powers? How did the Morphing Grid supposed to bring Billy back to life? It'd be one thing if Zordon was stuck in the matrix of his ship, and the Grid could free him, but did he send Billy's soul out? Is the grid some sort of power source realm like the Speed Force where if you are chosen by a coin, the Morphing Grid brings you back to life?]]

* [[spoiler: Why does the Morphing Grid only have five slots when it's established from the beginning that there have always been six Rangers, even with Rita as a rogue element?]]
** [[spoiler: Perhaps Rita wasn't a member of Zordon's team? Zordon calls the Rangers a legion, which could imply there were many more than five.]]
** [[spoiler: Since it appears that Zordon has been fighting Rita for some time after her betrayal. They may have removed the sixth slot to signify that she was no longer one of them.]]

* [[spoiler: Why is Kimberly getting nude photos from another girl? Typically, straight girls don't send other straight girls nude photos. Unless, of course, Kimberly isn't that straight.]]
** [[spoiler: Some girls in high school have been known to bounce sexual things they wanted to do off their close friends as a way of affirming their choices. A "Hey, should I send this to my boyfriend?" situation isn't wholly unrealistic - and if Kim said "no" before sending the picture herself, that'd enhance the "mean person" aspect of the situation.]]

* Why didn't Kimberly [[spoiler: perform CPR when Billy drowned]]? It's not that hard, and she didn't even try!

** Also such an action is NOT like what you see on [[CPRCleanPrettyReliable TV and in movies]]. In reality, it is very physically exhausting and rarely ever helps someone on its own. Its real purpose is to try to extend the window of time in which a person CAN be helped, [[spoiler:read: revived]], generally by a professional [[spoiler: with a portable defibrillator]].

*** Rita's magic is pretty clearly still running through the chains while [[spoiler: Billy's]] underwater. It's likely that was what killed him, and the drowning was just adding insult to injury.

* Jason's sword [[spoiler:, which he brings out after getting his Ranger armor but places it in the console like it was some sort of important artifact after the battle. How does that work since it wasn't explained?]]

* How does Rita know who the rangers are and where they live? No moon base, no Repulsascope. [[spoiler: And why does she just seek out Trini?]]
** [[spoiler:Rita says it herself as to why Trini: She feels they are very similar (at least compared to Rita pre-FaceHeelTurn) and so feels as though Trini is the most likely to turn on the others. When that fails, she switches to [[TimeForPlanB Plan B]].]]

** [[spoiler: That's where Zordon needs the rangers to be so he can resurrect himself.]]

* What is Jason's responsibility [[spoiler: once the Megazord forms up]], other than giving orders? Trini/Kim are both the arms & Zach/Billy are the legs, yet Billy asks Jason if he (Jason) slapped Rita? That conversation is likely a call-back to Jason slapping the bully from earlier, but I still don't get what Jason was supposed to do [[spoiler: in the Zord]].

** Also, it might be an expansion to the idea in ''MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie'', where the group revives Zordon with their new powers.

** Possibly they went on an overnight getaway that Trini declined the chance to come on. Maybe they were going to stay with family or visit friends? Trini seems to be close to her little brothers, so it's unlikely she'd leave them home alone while she did Ranger stuff.

** We see a car leave Trini's house just before this all happens, most likely her parents going somewhere, but that leaves the question of if her brothers were still home at the time or had gone with their parents.

** To be fair they never figured it out either and explicitly state they don't remember. But it's likely that it's an off-screen display of their teleporting ability from the [[MightyMorphinPowerRangers original show]].

** There's one thing that's been bugging me. Why did Trini's mother interpret her admission as Trini being on drugs despite her obviously [[SarcasticConfession sarcastic tone]]?

** Perhaps they're saving it for the sequel. They've already implied Jason's dad has figured it out, maybe they will too. Alternately, perhaps they forgot about it. The conversation was over a week before the zord battle, plus its indicated Trini isn't very close to her parents. Maybe she's constantly running away and giving sarcastic explanations for where she's been, so there's nothing about this particular case to make it stand out.

* Trini's family must be heavy sleepers. You mean to tell me known of them hear the screams and evil cackling in her room that night? Not to mention she is being thrown across the room by Rita a few times.

** My guess is that the power crystals commanded the rangers' physical bodies to move while they were rendered unconscious. Basically "sleep walking" or "dragging" their bodies back home.

** His responsibility is exactly what you just said: Giving orders. He's the brain. Trini, Kim, Zach, and Billy are four people each moving a different limb. That's a lot easier when you have someone coordinating the effort.

** Aesthetic? It wouldn't be too out of character for Rita to add the wings because they looked cool. Besides which, Goldar had wings in the original Power Rangers Series and Zyuranger.
