Happy Friday, here are a two Fandom Thoughts that have been on my mind:
- For my
Power Rangers Rewatch, I'm on the second season of
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and it felt like the two newly introduced characters
Curtis (Zack's cousin) and
Richie were being introduced as potential rangers. Too bad they weren't, I think they would have been good as Power Rangers. Season two also had
Farkas "Bulk" Bulkmeier and
Eugene "Skull" Skullovitch being amateur detectives trying to figure out who the Power Rangers were. I'm really surprised that Bulk and Skull were so focused on this since they never seem to care about anything else besides being jerks and bullies. I also noticed that this season was also very
Tommy Oliver (Green/White Ranger) centric. When I watched this show as a kid, I didn't notice these things but rewatching it as an adult you certainly do.
I also didn't think Tommy should have immediately become leader of the Power Rangers just because he became the new White Ranger (with more power) especially since
Jason Lee Scott (Red Ranger) was still there. And not to mention, Jason had been the leader since the beginning, it just seemed weird to have demoted him. Even though I haven't gotten to the episodes where Jason,
Trini Kwan (Yellow Ranger) and
Zack Taylor (Black Ranger) leave the show (I will next week), I feel like the Showrunner and writers should have waited until after they unfortunately left to determine who the new leader was going to be. So, that if Tommy was going to be the new leader he should have had to earn that title before instantly becoming it. Plus, he didn't have as much as experience as the others. And there was no reason why
Kimberly Hart (Pink Ranger) or
Billy Cranston (Blue Ranger) couldn't have also been chosen to be the leader as well. Leadership shouldn't be based on who has the most power (which Tommy now had) because experience should definitely be a factor. There should have been a friendly competition between Kimberly, Billy and Tommy to determine who should have been the team leader after Jason left. I'm still a fan of all of these characters, it's just interesting what you see when you rewatch a show.
- It still annoys me that they ruined
Sharon Carter's character in
The Falcon and Winter Soldier TV series. She should have continued to be the hero that she is in the comic books. It's so annoying that first she was pushed out of being Steve Rogers' love interest in the movies which she is in the comics. And then they turned her into a villain in the TV series. Being a Sharon Carter fan, it's disappointing how this character was mistreated in the MCU. And her treatment it's just something that still annoys me.
