Entertainment Weekly released a short video that featured Brie Larson, Iman Vellani, and Teyonah Parris, showcasing not only their powers but also their latest super suits. While these three heroes share a common name, they were still able to stand out as their own.

Unfortunately, some viewers have pointed out that this teaser gives off “Power Ranger vibes” because of “diversity.” One disgruntled fan claimed that Marvel is trying to “include everyone” because “it’s trendy,” resembling something commonly seen in a children’s TV show. Meanwhile, the way the three Marvels appeared in the teaser somewhat resembled the iconic teenagers with attitude, but with an all-female cast.

This is not the first time Marvel Studios has been compared to the Hasbro-owned franchise. Fans previously criticized Ironheart’s appearance in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever due to the suit. Meanwhile, director Ryan Coogler, was also mocked for using “Power Rangers logic” when it came to the “Wakandan Rule.”

Larson mentioned previously that she and Kevin Feige have discussed bringing Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan together with Captain Marvel because “it made sense.” A teaser trailer was released on April 11, providing a glimpse of the plot for this highly-anticipated blockbuster.

The Marvels is scheduled to hit theaters on Nov. 10, 2023.
