    Dominic Sivilli and Louis Maldarelli were sitting on the couch one day when they discovered that the first two seasons of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers were on instant play. After watching for a bit, they realized why they loved the series so much when they were younger – and why they stopped watching as adults: it’s cheesy. “We grew up, but the Power Rangers didn’t really grow up with us,” Sivilli explains. So the duo came up with an awesome idea: why not revive and re-imagine the Power Rangers as adults – fighting evil in the real word? That’s just what they did.
