Billy's a genius who can hold his own in a fight as well as engineer solutions to problems and create devices to help the team.

I'm sorry but Flynn cannot compete with that.

Flynn.. did the same exact thing :eyebrow

But...The entire original cast were over the top goody goods who were poorly written stereotypes.

Hold your tongue! It's like the black guy was a great breakdancer or anything.

He prefers the term "hip-hop kido". Because y'know, that's totally different :p

Totally. And not all slightly racist that the black guy was the black ranger, and the asian girl was yellow.

Just a big coincidence.

Say what you will about Rocky.
He legitimately had more character than Jason.

I like to think the peak of Jason's character is in the Turbo movie when he gets possessed and just walks around grunting.

I think the only time Jason's character evolved beyond white bread generic leader was when he failed at saving Tommy's powers.
And even then, the next episode he was back to his normal self.

You could give the man a pair of sunglasses and the entire viewing audience would have no idea who this man was, like in Zeo. :p

Trini was the closest to not being a generic character stereotype, and that's only because I honestly don't remember her even having a character beyond "She was nice."

Flynn "ScottyBagpipes MacHaggisKilt" McAllistar just has more charisma.
