10 Movies Where The Post-Credit Scene Is The Best Part
2. Power Rangers
Yet another film here that looked to set up a franchise before the jury was in on whether it was good enough to warrant one. The set-up was great, but unfortunately the reception to the movie itself was enough to confirm it would never be followed up on.
The would-be franchise in question is Power Rangers. As a property with huge popularity and incredible longevity, it's rather surprising that a live-action film franchise hasn't come to fruition, though it was unsuccessfully attempted in 2017.
Seemingly following in the post-Dark Knight footsteps that saw properties like Fantastic Four and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles try and fail to tell darker and grittier stories, Power Rangers received a lukewarm reception at best, and was an unmitigated commercial flop. Unfortunately, this meant that audiences would never see the Green Ranger teased at the very end.
Back in detention, the teacher overlooking the room called the new name in the register, one Tommy Oliver. Cue the zoom in on an empty desk with a green jumper thrown over the back of the chair. This would have got fans of the Power Rangers excited, as many would have been disappointed that the Green Ranger was not included from the beginning, but unfortunately it seems as though that particular ship has now sailed.
