Keep in mind, Power Rangers has been a franchise about low cost labor and multiple legal issues in addition to constant need or writing since there's like 30 episodes a year and so much time to make 20 episodes, add CGI and edit and take the best scenes from the dailies.
So this'll probably never happen. But as a former film critic, and frequent enjoyer or story and plot, why not?
Mystic Force has a theme of magic. What's really interesting about magic, is illusions and the unknown. Hellblazer, Star Wars and the works of Stanley Kubrick use subtleties to explain its story.
Get themes of the unknown and the horrific past censors. Granted, this was a Disney show at the time, but it's always what I found was fascinating about the show. The horror genre has had huge links to the supernatural whether through Pagan or Christian gods. Whether in the role of the dice, the idea of faith and belief, there's something fascinating yet very horrific regarding how the spirituality aspect of humans has dominated the Earth's culture since the creation of humanity. From the creation of pyramids, to the Inquisition, there are many things that could be explored with this theme.
Setting, as anyone who's ever played a Warner Bros deck building game, is also a key element in magical storytelling. The woods of England and Salemn were very inspirational to tales of monsters and other ficitional ideas. I don't want to dwelve too taboo-ish, but I feel like at least bringing up the idea, that the way of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic God going the way of the Greek-Roman mythos especially with current day statistics, and it'll be interesting what some elements of history and even now with Kamen Rider and Alternate Reality can turn up.
