One of the many things i love about the PR movie was that neither of the girls were reduced to being damsels-in-distress during the third act, something that most action movies do.

In fact, Trini and Kim were the ones who got to show off the most after getting their powers: Kim being the only one who landed smoothly during the jump over the cliff, Trini and Kim kicking Zack and Jason’s ass during training, that iconic flirt-fight over the doughnut, fighting back-to-back against the putty simulations, and Trini hitting Rita with the final blow.

On another note, the scenes where the boys shined the most weren’t related to battles. Billy was shown to be smart enough to find the crystal’s location, it was Zack’s idea to actually get to know the others and opened up first about himself, and Jason became a leader who wanted to take the responsibility of saving the world and being there for his team seriously (comforting Kim and admitting that his recklessness cost them Billy), as opposed to the boy who pulled an immature prank and let his team down.
