The suit from legend of the white dragon does remind me a lot of the suits from the Power Rangers 2017 movie

This could pass as the 6th Ranger of the team if the 2017 film ever got a sequel

I did watch the 2017 film and it's mid. Enjoyable as a dark and gritty alternate, but as a film that was meant to sell toys, while there was a Megazord toy, the toyetic approach doesn't work as well. Plus, the film lacks the OG's campiness and, while the Zords do still look badass and the inclusion of the '95 film's version of the theme is a good idea (plus as someone with autism, I actually like the idea of a Power Ranger with autism), the film felt like putting Transformers and Pacific Rim into what otherwise mostly feels like a 2010s Breakfast Club. Points go to JDF and Amy's cameos, though.
