2) New Zeo Powers
The addition of the Zeo Crystal into the new movie’s mythology means a lot to longtime fans of the franchise, as it seems to clearly point to the heroes getting a new power set at some point in the future.
The Zeo Crystal was not actually part of Mighty Morpin Power Rangers and instead hails from its follow-up series, Power Rangers Zeo. In that show, it’s not the life-giving crystal that rests within the Earth’s crust as in the movie but the source of the titular team’s Zeo powers.
Though we’re not expecting the movies to shake up the Rangers’ powers for a while yet, the potential is already there. The Rangers gaining new powers is a core part of the franchise’s appeal, so it’s bound to happen eventually. We’re thinking that the Zeo powers could be introduced in the fourth outing, thereby splitting up the six planned films into two sets of trilogies.
