By Lindsey Bahr, The Associated Press There’s a question every piece of intellectual property needs to ask itself before a new version is made: How seriously should we treat the source material?

Irreverent and meta takes on dated or impossible material have worked (usually thanks to Phil Lord and Chris Miller) as have deathly serious interpretations. In the case of “Power Rangers,” that cheesy Saturday morning show that cobbled together shameless merchandising goals, dubbed Japanese action footage and sanitized high school shenanigans, they went mostly serious.
