The film is a largely apolitical superhero origin story focusing on a diverse group of alienated teenagers who find purpose and unity in fighting an external evil, emphasizing universal themes of teamwork and self-acceptance rather than explicit political ideology.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through its explicit recasting of traditionally white roles with minority actors and the inclusion of neurodiversity within its main cast. While diversity is a clear element of the character ensemble, the narrative itself does not center on critiquing traditional identities.
The film includes a brief, subtle scene where Trini, the Yellow Ranger, implies she is questioning her sexuality. This incidental moment acknowledges a queer identity without making it central to the plot or character development, resulting in a neutral overall impact.
The film features Kimberly Hart (Pink Ranger) and Trini Kwan (Yellow Ranger) who, after morphing, gain enhanced physical abilities. They both engage in and win close-quarters physical fights against multiple male-coded Putty Patrollers.
Several core Power Rangers characters, including Billy Cranston (Blue Ranger), Zack Taylor (Black Ranger), and Trini Kwan (Yellow Ranger), were portrayed by actors of different races than their established counterparts in the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series.
The film maintains the canonical genders for all primary Power Rangers, Zordon, Alpha 5, and Rita Repulsa from the original series. No established character undergoes a gender swap.
