Why did they bother replacing Kim?
I liked Kat as the antagonist but she became totally uninteresting as Pink Ranger. Why did they even bother replacing Kim with no Pink Shogun Zord? They had a built in reason to get rid of the Pink Rangers. Since they were doing a powerloss storyline with Princess Kimberly. And they didn't need a new Pink Ranger until Zeo. At least Tanya would have been less annoying.

Re: Why did they bother replacing Kim?
You would have still needed a yellow that was female. And Kat was a built in replacement for Kim. Even with Five Shotgun Zords they still needed a second female with Zeo. If Karen Ashley didn't leave too, then maybe you would have a case.
But there is no way you could have had Billy as a male yellow. Since the Sentai Footage clearly showed yellow as a female. Unlike with Zyuranger, MMPR could have gone with either gender for yellow. |

The Kat Storyline made season 3. It made total sense to intro a new Pink while you had Kat. And we know it worked out with the Ohranger footage. Season 3 was almost done anyway.

But I find most of the Pink Rangers to be poorly written stereotypes. Kimberly is at the top of the list for me and my least favorite Ranger. So she has nothing to do with why I don't like Kat. I actually really liked Kat as the evil spy. It doesn't mean I wanted her to remain a villian forever. I just didn't like her character when they made her Pink. She just became this weak character that only existed to be Tommy's new love interest. She lost a lot of the spunk she had before. I would have just wrote her off once her villain arch was done. No replacement for Kim was needed. Worry about a Pink for Zeo then. Its shame Ohranger Yellow wasn't gender neutral like Zyuranger Yellow. Its stupid that Toei puts skirts on characters that are female anyway. |
Re: Why did they bother replacing Kim?
They probably knew they were going to need another Pink the following season. I see no reason why they should have got rid of the Pink Ranger for just a few episodes. They cast Sutherland to start before Johnson finished up anyway.

Its a shame Amy Jo couldn't have stayed through the end of season 3.

OhYellow wasn't gender neutral she had a skirt someone might need to look again at their facts. Catherine wasn't hired to be just a villain and be done with her that wasn't why she was hired whoever became Kat was going to be replacing Kimberly. There was no changing their minds there. I don't know why they put skirts on the female suits but for whatever reason there's some reason for why they did so just like why they decided on not going for skirts for Dekaranger even for the female suits. |
Re: Why did they bother replacing Kim?
I know I meant to say wasn't, fixed it.

Re: Why did they bother replacing Kim?
the skirt thing has been going on for ages in fact they started it with their 2nd Sentai; JAKQ even though they were still using cheap material.

I think Kimberly and Kat were both great Rangers in general.
|
Re: Why did they bother replacing Kim?
I don't know how anyone could dislike Kimberly. She was so amazing and I am sure still would be if we saw the character again. Kat on the other hand is a terrible Ranger in general.
|
Re: Why did they bother replacing Kim?
I definitely wish Kim finisned season 3. Then Kat would be not canon for me! Since only MMPR should count.

I don't want any Pink Rangers though. So I don't want male ones either.
|
Re: Why did they bother replacing Kim?
MMPR is diffinitly far and above the best. Its an undeniable fact.
I actually have nothing against Kim or Kat though. |
Re: Why did they bother replacing Kim?
There was always going to be another Pink Ranger after Kim. They wouldn't have cast a new one so soon if they didn't know they would need one the next season.
|
Re: Why did they bother replacing Kim?
I don't think its fair to say someone isn't a real fan. Especially if its just because they disagree with you. There are many good seasons after MMPR.
While it could have worked to have Kim just lose her powers (and not have Kat become a Ranger). I am glad they didn't do that. Since Kat is one of my favorite characters and it was cool seeing her develop into a strong Ranger. |

At the time I thought Trini was going to come back and replace Kim. But I know now why that didn't happen. With the walk out and everything.

Re: Why did they bother replacing Kim?
Saban just decided he still wanted a Pink Rangee and created the character of Kat.

I agree about Jonathon. He was the one that saw wisdom in adapting Japanaese Sentai closely. Thankfully, Saban eventually let him do this.

Tzachor does deserve some credit for his time on the show. He was a showrunner for a number of years. Plus he contribute a lot from a directorial stand point.But the idea of PR copying Sentai so heavily had to go. PR is better off in Lynn's hands right now.

Re: Why did they bother replacing Kim?
I got to give Tzachor and Lynn props for Space and Galaxy .
