If you know anything about the mythos of Power Rangers, this is a pretty big deal. Not only does this add an extra layer of fan service but this could possibly set-up the sequel. Introducing something as important as the Zeo Crystals this early into the franchise is a bold move but shows the creators have faith.
For those who don’t know, the Zeo Crystals are powerful objects with powers to unlock new Power Ranger suits. This allowed the original ‘Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers‘ show to reboot itself after a fairly long run. With new suits, new characters, and new powers; the show felt fresh again and I personally think it helped it helped it last this long.
If they are setting something like the Zeo Crystals in the first film, it could mean the Rangers could be changing for the next installment, if there is one. That also opens up the possibility of each ‘Power Rangers‘ movie having inspiration from a season of the show.
