What math? With percentages, even with Tommy being a Ranger for longer and across various seasons, the percentage of "how much Tommy was a bumbling idiot" (I don't think that lowly of him at all, just throwing that classification out there) will remain the same.
It's a "per capita" example. Regardless, I'm just tired of people stating that "Tommy is teh bestz0rs n alwayz will be!" when that's purely opinion based. People can think he's great, but keep it as an opinion. |

Wish I didn't have to sit through a ~34 min. video to learn the relevant info here...
Can we get some "talks about his involvement" or what he says about the mass email quotes? Accessibility... |

People can think he's great, but keep it as an opinion. Even so, I'm not going to one day decide to sift through every episode between Zeo and Dino Thunder just to figure out who was statistically better. To me Tommy is the best ranger, Jason maybe would be second. A lot of people feel the same way so I can't blame them for stating that Tommy is the best ranger. Even if someone says it as if it's the truth I think it's a given that it's just an opinion, whomever is best is subject to the fans' personal tastes. Any time someone says someone is the best ranger that is opinion. It should not matter if they are stating it as fact because it is true to them, may not be true to someone else, but doesn't matter because anyone who hears/reads that already knows it is an opinion.

Who cares if it's an opinion? To a lot of people he is the greatest, he was the freaking green then white ranger in MMPR! After Zeo started I didn't even bother with Power Rangers again until he came back for Dino Thunder or whatever, then I stopped and since then I've just been casually watching Super Sentai instead of Power Rangers.

It should not matter if they are stating it as fact because it is true to them, may not be true to someone else, but doesn't matter because anyone who hears/reads that already knows it is an opinion. Also, I never suggested to "sift through" every episode to find out if he's "the best." I again gave reasons why he's not "the best" without having to "sift through" anything at all. I'm sorry I haven't jumped on the Tommy Bandwagon. I'm also sorry that everyone loves Tommy. I love Tommy too. In fact, why are we having this discussion? I love Tommy so much, there's no need to have a discussion about it, because "who cares!" In fact, let's all agree on the same thing, and that way we can just not have a discussion board. You discuss personal tastes, but yet when someone has a different opinion and states why, it's not okay? Fact is, there is no "best Ranger." Rangers are chosen for their merits, strengths and weaknesses. Tommy had many weaknesses. But his strengths overcame that. Am I going to argue that Tommy isn't the "face" of Power Rangers? No. Am I going to deny that Tommy wasn't a very powerful Ranger? No way. That'd be insane. The man had a great Ranger career. But is he the "best Ranger?" No, he's not, and I already gave reasons why. And changing Ranger colors doesn't make you the best Ranger either, which by your argument that's what he did so that makes him great? Can you clarify on that? |

And I gave valid reasons why he's not. The irony here is, Tommy's the best ranger, but you won't (or haven't) watched all the seasons he's been in.

Can you clarify on that? You already gave reasons of why he isn't the best ranger as if you are stating that him not being the best ranger is true. You are doing the exact same thing that you evidently don't want other people to do, to not keep what they say as an opinion. My point is, why tell them to keep what they say as an opinion, why when you are expressing what you think to be true, when you are doing what they are doing, expressing your opinion as fact. I'm didn't even read all of your reasons as to why Tommy might not be the best ranger and to me, he still is the best ranger. Why? It's because he's my favorite ranger. One ranger could cure world hunger and Tommy would still be my favorite Power Ranger.
