I agree but unlike you I like Tommy as a character

In universe, the Red Powers were originally designed for the team leader. So it was natural for Wes to look like the leader in battle.

precisely

Don't forget Adam. Who would have been the best choice.

he wouldn't have been a good choice when he became a Ranger since he was a newbie and inexperienced.

Color Role Actor
White Ranger Tommy Oliver Jason David Frank
Red Ranger Jason Lee Scott ► Rocky DeSantos Austin St. John ► Steve Cardenas

Black Ranger Zack Taylor ► Adam Park Walter Jones ► Johnny Yong Bosch

Blue Ranger Billy Cranston David Yost

Yellow Ranger Trini Kwan ► Aisha Campbell Thuy Trang ► Karan Ashley
Pink Ranger Kimberly Hart Amy Jo Johnson

Adam and Rocky were newbies so Tommy was a good choice. Billy isn't a leader

Re: Rocky should have become the leader in MMPR.

But Adam was a cool Ranger and a natural leader . It didn't matter if he was new. He would have been a great leader right off the bat.

Re: Rocky should have become the leader in MMPR.

Maybe he wasn't ready at the time. But he could have been a leader in Zeo. As we saw during the Alien Ranger Saga.

still a newbie and inexperienced. Being cool is irrelevant.

Re: Rocky should have become the leader in MMPR.

I think Tommy being the leader was the obvious choice in this case. Rocky never gave me the impression of being a leader, well not in MMPR, he was new to the team whereas Tommy, BIlly and Kimberly had experience.

To change things up in Zeo would of been a bit pointless, wouldn't really be good for Zordon to demote Tommy, Jason was only demoted as Austin St. John had left/was leaving.

Re: Rocky should have become the leader in MMPR.

Intersting information. I wonder after the filming/the doing of ADR of which episodes did Walter and Thuy leave, because I've read or heard somewhere that "Opposites Attract" was the final episode either the full trio or just a member of the trio was present at the filming of?

Re: Rocky should have become the leader in MMPR.

Rocky didn't really become interesting until Zeo. But I wouldn't call him a leader then either.

Re: Rocky should have become the leader in MMPR.

From i remember from watching various panels on YouTube is that the line was changed from "so Power Rangers i assume you are pleased with new member of the power team" to "so Power Rangers i assume you are pleased with new leader of the power team" in ADR because of Austin leaving.

I'm sure as negotiations were on-going that they had ADR plans for both outcomes of the contract talks.

Although i'm sure Austin said in one panel that he told them he was quitting but would stay on to film the episodes that re-introduced Tommy first.

Either way that whole run of episodes up till The Power Transfer had comical dubbing moments, i would of have assumed in some cases they'd have used old ADR for the morphed fight scenes at least.
