Anyways, to start off, my least fave ranger of all time is definitely Jen. I know you'll all probably disagree with me, but I thought see was rude, arrogant, and only towards the end of the Time Force series did she soften up a bit. The way she spoke to Wes was not nice at all. I know she's just lost her fiancee, but to be honest no-one deserves to be at the other end of one her emotional rants.

My opinion dudes! What's your's? XD

MMPR - Kim

Zeo - Tommy

Turbo - Justin

Space - a tie between Zhane and Andros

Galaxy - Leo

Lightspeed -Carter

TimeForce -Wes

Wild Force - Max

Ninja Storm - Hunter

Dino Thunder - Connor

SPD - Sky

That's my listed of most 'hated' rangers.

Dany

1. Sky: I thought know one could surpass Justin, but SPD introduces this mess of a character and took the gold. When they made this guy into Red Ranger in the season finale, I vowed never to watch another episode of SPD.

I still don't like her, but now it's because I just find the character really irritating. I wonder if it was just me, but she always acted so helpless. Everyone always had to "save" her. Even Kim was more independent than Kat was.

Now, that said, my least favorite ranger would have to be Alex, for whatever little time he was. First of all, he didn't even tell Jen he was alive. Secondly, the way he came back and just took over as Red Ranger, not even listening to his teammates. I know at first he was a lone ranger, but still, shouldn't he have learned teamwork? How else would he have gotten the morpher.

Now it you were to ask before I had really watched them it was only one replacing the previous rangers, which is stupid. Now after watching them, they all have their good sides.

The only ranger now that I get irritated with is Tommy. And, as my friend pointed out, it's not really Tommy it's all of his fans obsessions over him and how he's considered this god-which he is not. So, as far as who is talked about from fans it would have to be Tommy.

Really the other rangers I don't like all have to do with how most fans portray them in stories: so that would be Sky, Z, Bridge and Syd. I just don't think a lot of people get their characters right, and so I don't like it.

As far as on the show I do like Tommy, Sky, Z, Bridge and Syd, but just off the top of my head those are the five who I get really irritated with in fan talk. Oh maybe also Dustin, Hunter, Cam and Shane (Just because in the stories people reduce Blake to a complete loser who didn't really care about Tori at all), but I love them on the show.

Okay, I think that's all for now.

You're right, Justin would have done better with kids his own age. I noticed that in the second half of Turbo he seems to fit better. Even though Ashley, Carlos, Cassie and TJ are still older than him, they're closer in age than Tommy, Kat, Tanya and Adam.

So, had he been a bit older than it probably would have worked better.

Been too long since you watched MMPR and PRiS, hasn't it? The Yellow Rangers have had just as much personality and impact as any of the others.

Edit: To be on topic, I have no least favorite Ranger. They all contributed and they're all worthwhile characters.

I love Daggeron, he was a good ranger and I agree with Higuchimon, I too think that all the rangers contributed. I can see what people are saying, but they have a different part they play and even if it isn't up to 'the red ranger' status, they still do a lot.

Actually I own MMPR on DVD and a few episodes os PRIS on VHS. I can honestly say that Trini did NOT contribute as much as the others, but this isn't to say she did not contribute. Ashley DID spend most of her time chasing boys and let's face it, Tanya did not do much. Maya only contributed because the show played heavily on her knowlegde of Mirrinoi.

So, what is your idea of contribution? Because different rangers contribute things differently and it's not always the same.

Well, when you have a large cast, that's going to happen. And I fail to see why that should be an issue in Maya's case. That was part of the plot of the show. To me, it seems like complaining that the evil Green Ranger saga focused on Tommy just because it played on him being evil.

*ShrugS* You can see it any way you like. I stand by my statement. All of the characters contributed in different ways. Yes, some more than others, but I don't expect perfection, and I've yet to see a character in any season I watched that I didn't like in some fashion.

And a large cast? Up to six or so rangers per season. Stick every ranger that ever existed onto a show and THEN you'll have a large cast. Six is ok, think Fellowship Of The Ring and how bigger vast that had. My point about Maya is that her contribution throughout the entire season was based upon her 'skills' in Mirrinoi. I haven't watched it in ages, but I know that much. The Green with Evil saga was just a five part episode, and yeah, from then on it was pretty focused on him. Butthat is becuase when he joined the team he brought with him new gear and talent.

I agree.

Spoony Spoonerson:

My idea is the characters actually developing, like developing hobbies or perhaps standing out a little to the group. The yellows did not contribute as much as the others.

I don't know, I think every cast has their people who stick out more than others. I don't think Syd contributed more than Z. They pretty much contribute different things to the cast, some is just more obvious than others.

True the Power Ranger casts aren't as large as some other casts. And you do see seasons where it's more about one person than any others, but I still believe that they all contribute, just differently.

A kid ranger? oh c'mon...

i think it was so funny to see him became bigger (in adult person size) when he was wearing the uniform, and it seemed NOT REAL for me (LOL)

i was so sad when Rocky (Steve Cardenas) had to leave PR

Btw just my opinion...:)

~GC~

It was interesting to see him grow bigger when morphed.

Rocky leaving was sad, but what can you do?

I think I'm going to be royaly hit and maybe even bombarded by flames for this, but I'd have to say my least favorite Ranger was Tommy Oliver.

Yeah, he's just about everyone's favorite character, but I could hardly stand him. Not only when he battled was his " HUTSEEYUH " most annoying but it seemed obnoxious. Sure, he could fight, and he was pretty darn good at it, but c'mon. I also hated the fact that when he got his White Ranger Powers, he just kind of took over leadership of the team, or at least that's what it seemed like. He also always seemed to get the girl, at least the pink rangers. I thought they should haven given someone else a try. Heck, I would have been fine even if it were Justin from Turbo. I get that he was also the most liked character on the show, but I think he stole the light from people. Well, they got better with sharing the ligth after Aisha, Rocky, and Adam took Jason, Trini, and Zack's spots on the team, but I could stand how he would " corkscrew kick ", and do various other cool moves while fighting.

I know he contributed greatly to the six seasons, I think it was, of Power Rangers he was in, but I couldn't stand him.

But the producers were like it love with Tommy and he got the majority of the focus.

So I totally hear what you're saying.

You know i agree with you in all the way about the whole Tommy things!

Tommy is not the best ranger just because he had tried four spandex colors.

For me that was hilarious.

But it doesn't mean that i hate him. I like his nice and loving personality :)

It's just...well, i don't think that Tommy Oliver is the best ranger in PR history.

I love Jason Lee Scott *sighs*

And it's not that I hate Tommy, it's just that he's not on the top of my list.

I just HATE the fact that everybody says "He's the greatest." Couldn't he have picked a color and stuck with it?

And I'm sick and tired of hearing people argue who he should get with.

Let's see: Kim dumped him and she ain't coming back, Kat is God-knows-where, and Hayley...No way.

Tommy Oliver is destined to be the next 40-year-old virgin.

See ya,

CJ

Wow. It's not often that you find people who agree with you. Tommy isn't the greatest, and I too am irritated with everyone's obsession over him.

So many other rangers are way better than he is, so...

Oh well...life is life.

And yes, the romance thing annoys me too. He never announced love with any character other than Kimberly or Kat (to my knowledge, correct me if otherwise) but just about everyone has their opinions on who he'll marry (and a surprising amount say Jason). I didn't get up at seven every saturday to watch him and Kimberly exchange looks across the command centre, I watched it for the fighting. Romance is A) overrated and B)nearly always including Tommy if his team is involved.

Tommy never announced any kind of romantic inclinations whatsoever to Kira. In that season the pair was Trent/Kira, Tommy actually wasn't involved that much. And Tommy, at least I don't recall, never said 'love' to Kim. The first to use love was Wes/Jen. Romantically Tommy was involved with Kim, Kat and Heather and that's really it. You can say other people, but...

I watched Power Rangers for romance (if I liked it), sibling relationships (if they had siblings), friendships, and some fun.

I didn't like that Tommy got all the romantic focus from Green With Evil 1 until Passing the Torch 2.

Whenever I watch Rangers, I want action, friendship, and humor. Maybe a little romance, but I'm not big on that.

Tommy and Kira? Uh, he's twice her age. That's gross in so many ways.

In my opinion, the best Power Ranger of all time is Jason Lee Scott. A great leader, a great man, and a guy who paved the way for Rangers to come.

Peace,

CJ

That's cool. Power Rangers is not supposed to be about romance, and I understand that which is why I don't mind dealing with some romance but not a ton like you would find in like a Soap.

Technically Tommy isn't twice her age. He's probably about 8 years older than her. Now during DT it's wrong, but afterwards it's technically not wrong. Although I think their relationship will always be mentor/student, but...that's me.

Jason is an awesome guy. Although technically I figure that Andros was a ranger before Jason. Just saying. :)

I agree with JuseaPeterson: it's not characters I hate, it's the way writers portray them. Kim, Tommy, Sky (and now Mack and Rose) seem to be the biggest victims. Adam/Tanya to a lesser extent also: I happen to like the light flirting they had on Zeo, but every fic I find tries to turn then into TWU WUB 4-EVAH just like Tommy and his Beautiful Crane (TM). =/

Also, re: Wild Force... some of us happen to LIKE happy characters who don't wallow in angst. As much as I love Time Force, the happiness was a much needed change of pace.

Mack and Rose do get it now too, don't they? There are some couples who do deserve certain types of relationships, but others, there's nothing really to suggest that. And besides what good are characters who are perfect anyways? If you don't have some kind of character trait that causes differences or problems, or a flaw within themselves than why write?

Also, re: Wild Force... some of us happen to LIKE happy characters who don't wallow in angst. As much as I love Time Force, the happiness was a much needed change of pace.

Thank you. That was nicely put. What I've noticed is that people say they don't like it when characters are wallowing in self pity, so then you get the happy, guilt free characters and people complain about them and how there should be angst, when it goes to that, complaints begin again. I think you need to have a blend of all different kinds of characters otherwise it'd get pretty dull.

Yeah. =/ I'm one of those people who thinks any pairing can work, and I do think int he hands of the right writing Mack/Rose could be pulled off... but I have yet to find a writer who didn't push their idea of what the Perfect Couple is onto them.

Wild Force: Thank you. ^_^ And the people who complain about Wild Force being 'too happy' always seem to conveniently forget that series had some very dark moments: Masters Org kills Cole's parents and is completely unrepentant about it. Shayla and Merrick's people/culture are basically dead (not counting the Zords and Animus, who let's be honest, isn't really that friendly) leaving them alone in a world they don't really understand, and more than one Ranger had to put their personal dreams on hold to help the earth (Max and his bowling, Danny and Kendall). And then Animus judges humanity unworthy of being saved and takes the Zords and Shayla away. But the Wild Force Rangers kept fighting-- and not wallow in angst. They wanted to save the world, even if meant giving up something they wanted/hurt them in the process.

That's what true heroes are.

/ramble

I am very careful about reading Mack/Rose stories. Nowhere in the series did I see that they were the 'perfect couple', in fact most stories that people push that idea are generally couples who don't fit that category. There's a couple of stories that I like because they are well done, but than others where they make it that all the guys flirt with Rose but all she wants is Mack and all he wants is Rose but doesn't think he's good enough, where is that coming from? It reminds me of Madison and Nick. Okay, sorry went off on that.

You're welcome. I like Wild Force. I will say that sometimes the acting might not have been the absolute best ever, but I think they did a good job. And your right I forgot about how dark it can be. Master Org doesn't feel sorry that he killed Cole's parents, and the fact that Cole goes to find them only to realize that they're dead and hey they don't come back. Shayla and Merrick are alone and when Zen-Aku is there, not nice at all. I remember seeing the episode where Animus takes everything away and the rangers have to try and prove that humanity is worth saving, I couldn't believe it.

Not only Max and Danny, Taylor left a promising career in the Air Force to do that. And Taylor fought for quite a while on her own, before Alyssa, then Max, and Danny (I believe it was that order), they didn't have the luxury of all being rangers for the first time together.

So many true heros get left behind just to glorify people like Tommy, sorry, but I don't really remember any hero moment for him. If there is, please point it out to me.

On the note about the WF season, I think all the series have their dark moments and they're all different.
