No, then they would have had to make the blue ranger Atlantean, and no one had that kind of time.

Was there a rumor that Tommy was a treehugger?

Power Rangers wasnt racist. They matched up the colors specifically because they spliced in the Ranger fight scenes from the original Zyurangers show. The Yellow Ranger is a boy in the Japanese show, but he was of the slightest build and spent the post time with the pink ranger in fight scenes, so they made it the other girl Ranger, hence Trini, who, by the way, was original played by a French actress in the pilot. It was stereotypical in the characters themselves (Zach being all 'hip hop'), but not racist. No, Tommy was not a treehugger. Especially since he became the white ranger, then the red ranger, then the black ranger, over the course of the series.

I know too much about that dumb show.

"That dumb show"? You know you love that show. You dream of Billy.

Yeah I love it! I love it because it's horrifically dumb!

And I thought I was the only one who had so much free time they actually knew of "Sentai" and that the battle scenes were just recycled from the Japanese show. xD

But yeah, I remember once one of my friends came to school high and just out of the blue said "hey, you know power rangers was racist, cause the black ranger was black and the yellow ranger was asian!"...I don't think I've laughed so hard since. xD

I got all the MMPR off of bit torrent (and three of the original ZyuRanger episodes, subbed) and its SO much fun to watch and pick out the Japanese scenes. Especially when they splice in American actors for the close-ups, and still have the Japanese actors in the wide-shots. xD

This thread's turned into a spammage discussion of Power Rangers...
