Actually his autism is not a bad thing in the movie, if gives the character a extra dimension to him, and it made him the standout... HE was not the problem. he was actually one of the better parts of the movie... with a better script this movie MIGHT have been fire... They should have played up on why Zack acted the way he does and all the things he does to make money to save his mother... That was something they touched on and really should have brought to the spotlight especially the part where zordon said dont use your powers for monetary gain?! I would have been like what???
I agree he should have gotten the outcast role instead of Trini. Breh Mom's sick and dying and he afraid of losing her, gaining the power to morph should have gave him ideas.
I know I'd be wylin' out like that kid from Chronicle to save my mom.
