A reason why Saban makes red the leader

PRdude · 12/03/00, 01:45 PM

I have come to the conclusion that Saban ha always
been making the Red rangers leaders since they're
always in the center of cockpits of Megazords. As for
why they had a White Ranger be the leader and
"outrank" red, the reason I thought of is this. To my
knowledge, they weren't going to have Tommy return after he
lost his powers as the Green Ranger the second time
around. However, they brought him back to the show due to
popular demand, thus he was made the White Ranger, as
well as the new leader. It probably didn't matter
since Jason was going to leave the show anyway, and be
replaced by Rocky. Rocky probably wouldn't have made a
good leader for the simple fact that he was new, and
his character doesn't seem suitable for leadership to
some people. So when they tok the suits from
Kakuranger to use for the Alien Rangers, they had a white
suit. So therefore, since white seemed to outrank red,
they probably decided that they might as well just
make the White Alien Ranger the leader, despite the
fact that she'd be female. After all, a male would
look silly in a two-piece ranger suit. Jason
was chosen to be the leader since Zordon described
him as "bold and powerful". Tommy as the Green Ranger
wouldn't have made a good second-in-command. He was pretty
much used as a "last minute" ranger, and he definitely
wouldn't have been of any good use as a second-in-command
during the time when he was in danger of losing his
powers. As for Rocky, he might not have been useful as a
leader, but he played the role of second-in-command well
whenever Tommy wasn't around. Jason was also a
sixth ranger in Zeo. Since he was a leader, he'd make a
good second-in-command. There have been times when he
has had to play that role, and he did it rather
well. T.J. was simply the chosen leader by Tommy because he
saved him, and was courageous and strong. Then he and
the other former Turbo Rangers met Andros, who was
already a Red Ranger. He'd be the better Space Ranger
leader since he was one of the first Space Rangers. T.J.
and the others were just newcomers. Zhane was only a
good second-in-command after he solved the problem
with his powers. Even Zhane has played the role of
second-in-command well. Leo was chosen to be the Galaxy
Rangers leader simply by destiny. Mike would have been
the better leader if he hadn't fallen into the
crevice. Leo tried to save him, but Mike just decided to
just fall into the crevice on purpose, and give the
Quasar Saber to Leo. Mike was destined to come back as
the Magna Defender anyway. Mike could have even
chosen another Quasar Saber besides the red one, but I
guess it was by destiny that he pulled it out anyway.
Mike seems like he would have made a better leader
than Leo though. There have been times where Leo has
doubted himself as a leader, and wondered why Mike had to
fall into the crevice. When Mike returned, Leo felt
guiltiy and thought that it would only be right to take
the powers, since he was the one who pulled the
Quasar Saber from the stone. Even so, Mike explained to
Leo that the Quasar Saber shares his heart and soul,
and that destiny doesn't make mistakes. In
Rescue, Captain Mitchell already had background checks on
his future Lightspeed Rangers, and thought Carter
would be the better leader. You can also consider the
fact that the occupation of firefighter is the most
dangerous. So if Carter has enough guts for that, then why
not make him the leader? Chad is shy, and Joel's ego
wouldn't be much help to him if he was the leader. If
sixth rangers are second-in-commands, then Ryan
wouldn't have been good for that most of the times.
Diabolico threatened his life with a curse, and then he
left for a while. In Time Force, the tradition
of Red Rangers being leaders is said to be broken,
since the Pink Time Force Ranger will allegedly be the
leader. We've already been treated to a female ranger
leader before, but next year, she'll be human, and it'll
last more than two weeks.

Oh wow, you know i bet thats right. Espically for the alien rangers thing. they were prob. like, "white is the leader of the rangers on earth now so..." wow, kudos

Here's another thought that I had. While
MMPRs2 (Dairanger) was going on here in the US,
Kakuranger was going on in Japan. The White Ranger in
Kakuranger is the leader, even though female. Saban probably
knew he wanted to use the Kakuranger suits for the
Alien Rangers in the future. So since the White Ranger
in Kakuranger is the leader, Saban decided to make
Tommy the leader when he was going to become the White
Ranger. I made a mistake on how MegaBlack was the leader of
the Megarangers. It's actually MegaRed who was the
leader. It's just that MegaBlack had to play the role of
leader sometimes. TimePink is the leader in Timeranger,
and the Pink Time Force Ranger is allegedly supposed
to be the leader in Time Force. So which ever color
ranger is the leader in a Sentai, Saban would probably
make that person the leader. It would be nice to see a
girl in a Red Ranger suit, but Pink and Yellow Ranger
suits are better for girls in my opinion anyway.

WRONG..MegaBlack was the leader in MegaRanger it
was stated VERY CLEARLY when MegaSilver made his
appearance and called MegaBlack "THE LEADER OF THE
MEGARANGER!" as well as having it stated in various Sentai
magazines and Toei Official site in description on the
characters PLUS having it mentioned on the show various
time.
