The (Japanese) Power Rangers Are Now Kickass Moms
Believe it or not, beloved '90s TV show Mighty Morphin Power Rangers didn't begin as some writer's sincere attempt to teach the children of America about martial arts and unnecessarily racist spandex jumpsuits. No, as we now know, the show was merely thrown together in order to recycle action scenes from Japan's Super Sentai series.
The Super Sentai franchise still continues in Japan, and may have peaked this past spring. Mother's Day 2018 saw the release of the special Hero Mama League, in which a team of past female Super Sentai cast members reunite -- but, and this is crucial, they are also all moms now. Think of it like The Expendables if you replace steroids and male pattern baldness with the miracle of ushering life into the world.

Judging from the trailer, Earth is once again imperiled by an alien evil seemingly cobbled together from a scrapped Oldsmobile.

ToeiAww, even Alpha 5's mom showed up.
Of course, the team comes together to kick ass, apparently with the help of a sword-wielding baby.
ToeiOr maybe this is a perspective trick, and that's a giant robot shaped like a baby.
