Are you referring to the Hasbro Toy Version?

If so, sorry. I don't have that yet.

I don't know why I love Tommy in Dino Thunder so much when I borderline dislike him in everything else.

Maybe it's because in Dino Thunder he's pretty down to earth, while everywhere else everyone just praises Tommy, especially in Neo-Saban seasons.

I always prefered Jason if I'm honest, sorry. I like both but Jason for some reason appeals to me more, he could have been in it more in the Zordon era too.

It could be because, for once, Tommy in Dino Thunder isn't "The greatest hero of every Power Ranger ever". He has an arc, he's forced into a new role as a mentor for the other rangers, he spends half his time either in Amber or invisible. It's something different!

Like where, dare I ask? Super Mega Force? He's really not praised any harder than the other Legacy Rangers when it comes to the crossover, and in terms of screentime that's all he appeared in. I'd argue the season praises Jaden more. And even then not by much.

Same thing goes for Dimensions In Danger in Super Ninja Steel. Yeah, he has the fight scene, but that was more to show off the Master Morpher than anything else. And the Falconzord was mainly just fanservice for MMPR S3 fans. None of the characters ever go "Oh man, Tommy is so cool!" or anything like that.

Like yeah, don't get me wrong, Tommy does show up in crossovers alot more than any other Ranger, but that's more due to JDF being willing to work for cheap, his popularity, and him being being part of the MMPR team. Where any of the other original Rangers to show up, they'd likely get similar treatment.

Heck, Jason showing up for the Beast Morphers crossover came with a huge amount of hyping up. It'd be like complaining that Kamen Rider 1 gets praise whenever he shows up.

The clipshow episode straight up calls him "The best" Ranger, so.

Dude the entire Dimensions in Danger was basically Tommy worshipping episode. And in Super Megaforce the Mega Rangers were excited to see him the most (even though their reaction is pretty meta than anything else).

They praised him in Dino Thunder as well, but at least they make him down to earth and not hog the spotlight as much. If Neo-Saban made Dino Thunder, Tommy would be the main protagonist and the three (even Trent) would be cheerleaders.

Even when they had Adak back in Overdrive they didn't worship him as much.

I really don't see it when it comes to DiD. The Rangers themselves were more enamored with all the Dimensional stuff happening, and every past Ranger who shows up gets acknowledged as being cool in their own right. Does Tommy get more screentime than the other Legacy Rangers? Yeah, but the entire episode was in no way Tommy-Only.

Super Mega Force doesn't treat the team as being any more excited to see Tommy as they do anyone else. Heck, their reaction is actually way bigger when surrounded by literally every other Ranger at the same time(as it should be. That's alot of Rangers). And in terms of screentime, well, Jaden and Casey both got entire episodes of their own. Tommy got 3 scenes. Two of them super short.

I'm not saying it's a perfect situation or that Tommy doesn't ever get praised at all, I just more feel it's getting blown out of proportion. Especially when Dino Thunder is just as guilty(and is also an entire season as opposed to one episode). It wouldn't be any different if, say, Jason had returned all those times instead. And considering it's a member of the team that started the franchise off, it should be atleast somewhat expected.

But DiD really does boil down to every Rangers that is not Tommy/Wes/Gemma/Koda to essentially glorified cameos.

And remembered the Mega Rangers was basically "TOMMY!!!" when he approached them. (jaysus I sure remember a lot aboot Super Megaforce for something that I refuse to acknowledge its existence. It's like a 'traumatic' past that you can't forget lulz)

To be fair it does get blown out of proportion, mostly because the franchise as a whole keeps pushing on the 'Tommy is the face of the franchise' lately. This happens in the comic as well.

What do you think?

I think the beast x morpher has an accellerometer and a sensor
