The Lionsgate reboot of the ‘ 90s children’s TV show is the first big-budget superhero movie to feature an LGBT protagonist.ĭuring Power Rangers‘ second act, there’s a scene in which the titular heroes learn that the Yellow Ranger, Trini (Becky G), is coming to terms with her sexual orientation, with one character assuming she’s having “boyfriend problems,” and soon realizing that perhaps she’s actually having “girlfriend problems.” It’s a small moment, but one director Dean Israelite calls “pivotal” for the entire film. Power Rangers is breaking down a barrier no superhero movie has before.
