It's actually not the American "Power Rangers" it's actually based on the Japanese "Sentai" version. Apparently the Koreans got the American version first, then switched to the Japanese version, but kept the Power Rangers name.
Besides, no Megazords? For shame.

Not even going to lie, I'll poke at this one just for the novelty of it. I loved the power rangers when I was younger!

And why is that such an issue?
Some people like that feeling of nostalgia when shown something from their childhood. I'm not afraid to admit that I had a childhood I liked and may want to return to at some point.

Nice, can't wait to play DCUO for free! I've been interested in it since its beta phase.

Actually, in Korea they use the "Power Rangers" title but they show a dubbed of the original Japanese source material.
So that's actually not Power Rangers, that's Mahou Sentai Magiranger.
