Joseph Khan's Mighty Morphin Power/Rangers

Have you seen the short film Mighty Morphin Power/Rangers on Youtube? It's a fan version directed by Joseph Khan and it's the Power Rangers like you've never seen them before.

It's dark, violent, bloody and gritti unlike Saban's entertainment's adaptation in the 90s which is funny, colorful and contains safe action scenes fitted for children.
The short film earned critisms from. Power Rangers fans all over the web. Actor Jason Frank who played Tommy/Green Ranger in the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers reacted too.
For those who haven't yet seen the film since it was removed from Youtube due to some copyright issues with Saban, I'm gonna give some spoilers. The film feature a traitor Rocky/Red Ranger who captures Kimberly/Pink Ranger, and rest was all blood bath.
And as for my opinion, I think the 14 minute short film was awesome despite all the violence.
I think that Joseph Khan wants to show us the Power Rangers 20 years later. The original series featured teenagers so it needs to be wholesome. But now they are adults and everything has changed. This is like the aftermath of a final battle and what went on after that.
I also thought that the film. showed a realistic Power Rangers, in the film they were using real guns instead of those fancy lazer blasters which don't really have, and they were a lot of blood because we all know that when someone has been shot or stabbed, they bleed, it's all real action. Zack/Black Rangers fight scene looked like Ninja Assasin and I think that stand out.
I'm a Power Ranger fan too and I kinda missed the PG-13 series back in the 90s, but Joseph Khan's version is great and it's a fan film and each fan deserves to show what they think is good. And it kinda make you think this is what happened to the Power Rangers when they became adults.
