Power Rangers is now on home video, allowing those who missed it in the theater (there were more than a few after all) another chance to see it. You can count Gail Simone as one of those new viewers, and it seems to have sparked some ideas.

Simone tweeted some of her reactions to the film, including her investment in the characters outside of the costumes and Zords (via Bleeding Cool). Simone said “Damn, this is weird, but I am actually invested in the kids’ lives in this Power Rangers movie. How did this happen?”
That seems to have prompted some story ideas, with Simone adding later “Dang it, now I want to write the Power Rangers.” She reiterated this later, saying “Now I have a Power Rangers plot in my head.”
Simone also confirmed her favorite scene in the film when someone asked “Tell me, are you in love with #Trimberly yet?”, referencing the scene where the two are having some fun in a cafe.

There are currently no announced plans for a sequel, but that will hopefully come to pass eventually. As for the comics, there are two series of Power Rangers books at BOOM! Studios, so who knows? Maybe it’s time for some Simone backup stories, or a new series entirely.
Who’s going to say no to a Gail Simone Power Rangers team up? No one, that’s who.
Power Rangers currently has a 73.17 on ComicBook.com’s composite rankings.
