10 Movies Today's Teens 'Need' Less Than Love, Simon

10. Power Rangers

A teen-centered blockbuster reboot that attempts to broach the life of the modern teenager with care and fragility but instead manages to fumble and become pretty insulting to anyone with a brain.

The Yellow Ranger is changed to an LGBT character, which is great, but the film does absolutely nothing with it. It boils down to her simply saying she's been having 'girlfriend problems' which feels like a strangely shoe-horned moment. Don't try to take the credit for 'breaking new ground' unless you're actually going to break new ground with your choices.

Where the film becomes really problematic is in its portrayal of the Pink Ranger's issues. In attempting to address the topic of cyberbullying, the film gives her a revenge porn-centric storyline, in which her dark past includes her having to overcome the trauma of sharing explicit pictures of one of her friends, without her consent, around the whole school.

What?

And we're still supposed to be rooting for this character? She's absolutely in the wrong here, in every way, and yet we're supposed to care about how this awful deed traumatized her? Its a gross manipulation of something the filmmakers thought was a buzz-worthy teen topic, without even putting a second thought into how to handle it carefully.
