If there's one thing I really hate in the newests Power Rangers series and in the comics is their insistence in want fit a stereotypes in every color.
Like "Blue Rangers are the techboys, the mechanical geniuses, expert in every high tech stuff" well, what's truth for almost all the teams except for:
Zeo, since Billy was out of the team and Rocky continued with the charisma of... Well, a rock
In Space, where all Rangers had the same knowledge of the Astro Megaship systems, except for Andros, who was the one to teach them everything
Lost Galaxy, where 3 out of 5 Rangers were enoughly qualified people to be part of Terraventure's crew, and the Green Ranger was the one among these three to be most fit to this description
Lightspeed Rescue, where all the tech stuff was made by someone out of the team
Ninja Storm, where all tech stuff was made by someone out of the team
Dino Thunder, where all the tech stuff was made by someone out of the team
SPD, where *gasp* all the tech stuff was made by someone out of the team
RPM, where the geniuses in team were Gem and Gemma, the Gold and Silver Rangers
Samurai, where the genius in the team was Antonio, the Gold Ranger
Wow, it seems a lot of exceptions, too much Ranger Teams going against the the universal laws hm...
It just is not worse than their insistence in bring Zordon back, but I'm not getting in this yet

Rest in power to Jason David Frank (1973- 2022) What I admired about him was that he embraced the Tommy Oliver character, the Power Rangers legacy and he didn’t take the fans for granted. Thank you for being a part of my childhood.

More General Rangers Headcanons
Sixth Rangers are inherently more powerful than the regular Rangers. You'll notice that most can 1v1 difficult enemies that prove challenging to even the Reds of the team (ie.: Zhane (In Space Silver) 1v1'ing Ecliptor). This is because, on a power scale, the Sixth is supposed to balance the team out. A team that can work as individuals and an individual that can work on/with a team
Reds develop an attachment to their Sixth Rangers, be it romantic (Carter Grayson/Ryan Mitchell) or platonic (Leo and Mike Corbett), but it's close and quickly formed
Similarly, Sixth Rangers form quick and close attachments to their Reds, platonic or romantic
Pinks and Blues are either siblings or best friends and there is no in-between
Survivor's Guilt is a powerful force and 90% of the Rangers have it, especially the alien Rangers or those like the Lunar Wolf Wildforce Ranger
Rangers getting discouraged and believing themselves unworthy of the Power is also common, so there's a network of Rangers you can call to help with that kind of stuff
If you don't already have fantastic spatial awareness, you develop it pretty quick as a Ranger. It's damn near impossible not to because of all the attacks by Monsters, Bugs, etc
Red Rangers can give orders to their teams and the Power will give little pushes for the other Rangers to following it, but that doesn't mean the other Rangers can't refuse of their own volition
The Morphin' Grid affords its Rangers a form of immortality. They can be fatally injured, but otherwise, Rangers are effectively immortal
Some Rangers go on to become police officers, but most Rangers agree that working to assist and help people (ie.: lifeguards, doctors, breaking ground in the science fields) is best. Some of them establish dojos to train people to protect themselves (Tommy Oliver) and others work with volunteer efforts (Troy Burrows)
Veteran Rangers, Reds especially, tend to hang back during crossover events- this is to give the new Reds the confidence in themselves and their abilities, and allow them to grow into their leadership. The only exception was Forever Red, because Jason is a little bit of a control freak. He's the oldest Red, it's his right
When a Ranger is in a battle that forces them into demorph (i.e.: Gia, Jake, and Noah (Megaforce) against Creepox) the other teammates will be supremely worried and clingy, this is because of a trauma bond each team shares, but also because seeing someone you love get so hurt in a battle that they lose their ability to hold their morphs is fucking terrifying.
On that note, other Ranger teams will check in after those battles because seeing your successors get demorphed in the middle of battle is also something terrifying
Also on that note, some Rangers have specific nightmares in which they don't make it out of those demorph fights alive
The TMNT do on occasion pop out of the New York sewers to assist in a battle or two with the Ranger teams
Rangers who have martial arts skills (Ninja Storm, Jungle Fury, Samurai, Ninja Steel, etc) stick together, much like Rangers who are from or went to space
The techs of the teams have secret channels that they use to make "communication devices" (cell phones) so that Rangers don't have to rely on their morphers to communicate as well as being able to communicate with other Rangers and teams
Bulk and Skull have been linked so tightly with the Rangers that they've been kidnapped several times, only to be let go when it's been clear they aren't Rangers themselves
Junior Rangers have a chat, kids that helped Rangers (Heather, Jordon, etc.) have linked up and compared notes. They know of or know each other and most of them are tightly linked together
Possibility of more later, I didn't expect more than one post lol

Me: Why do you think that they give all the female power rangers skirts? I mean, they are short enough to fight in, but I feel like it’s a weird way to indicate that someone is female. Especially since in earlier versions of power rangers, ranger yellow was often portrayed as a guy in the original version but the US typically wanted at least two female leads so the yellow ranger would be played by a girl in her civilian form and a man in her ranger form and no one really mentions it?
Like, I’ve been exploring a lot of the power rangers fandom while rewatching the shows and I don’t see it mentioned?
Which means that fans of these versions don’t care about whether or not the girl power ranger had a skirt and can easily recognize a power ranger as a girl even if she doesn’t have boobs or a skirt in her ranger form.
Furthermore, that means that the whole concept for having the leading ladies have a skirt on their uniform kind of weird? Especially because, while obviously not getting in the way, is still inconvenient and just an extra bit of fabric for the enemy to grab onto.
Plus, it usually breaks up the design of the power ranger suit and it doesn’t always look good and it would be better and probably more convenient to have them be similar designs all around. I mean, keep space for their different body types, but you don’t need a skirt to tell your audience who is male or female. You already have heavy color association with your characters and have them where the same color as their suits on the daily. Give your audience some credit.
Idk, even as a kid I thought it was weird.
What do you think?
Stranger who’s house I broke into so I could info dump:
Stranger: Yeah, that is weird.
Me: Thank you!

Some pieces I did inspired by the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Aways special. I've aways been more a super sentai guy, but I watch the first seasons of Power Rangers and have fond memories of the late Thui Trang.

Exactly one year ago today, we lost Jason David Frank. Of all celebrity deaths in the past few years, his hit me the hardest. JDF was not just the star of Power Rangers, but a member martial arts hall of fame, and a man I admired deeply since childhood. Even now, it’s hard to accept that he’s gone.
Rest in Peace Tommy. Wherever you are, may the power protect you. ⚡️🕯️
