How many were a fan of the Titanium Ranger before Megaforce?
 

I'm curious to know as how many people were a fan of Titanium before the whole Megafoce stuff happened. Before Megaforce and such, he was pretty well known as a american made only ranger for Lightspeed Rescue, but even then not many people really liked him or recognized a whole lot compare to some of the other 6th/extra rangers we've seen. The reason why I'm asking is because lately not just here on Tokunation, but others that are buying Titanium Rangers related stuff ever since Megaforce came on about. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm super glad he has more fans now and has a awesome support from the community, but was curious that's all.

Also yes my username is based off the Titanium Ranger since I grew up with Lightspeed and Lost Galaxy if your wondering.

I was a fan of the Titanium Ranger before Megaforce

I did like him. While I was younger I was disappointed that he didn't get to show up very often (Since 6ths tend to be the cooler characters (Tend to. Not always *Looks towards Zhane*), and Ryan was no exception), but I still liked him overall.

I'm fairly positive the spontaneous amount of people buying into it was after the whole SMF "You're accepted! Nevermind!" controversy a while back to show support for America's ranger.

I loved him when he first appeared. After becoming knowledgeable about Super Sentai, I went looking for his Super Sentai counterpart to discover he had none, that he was strictly a US Power Ranger, and my love for him increased even more.

While he was created only to boost toy sales (because the trend was 6th Rangers = $$$ back then) he was still the pinnacle of Saban's creativity during the original Saban era. Disney's creativity peaked with the Spirit Rangers in Jungle Fury, but they didn't hold the same majestic feeling that the Titanium Ranger did.

I loved him to utter death as a kid. He was the first cool ranger in my mind back then then (I was 5). Shame he didn't appear that often though.

I like him too. Tommy's still my favorite, but I like Ryan too.

I wouldn't say I ever hated the guy, but I was never a fan either (and I'm still not). Titanium is mundane at best and his entire popularity is based on him being the first American original ranger. If he wasn't that, he would be viewed as just another rehashing of the Green Ranger Tommy plot (which he totally is).

I loved all the sixths as a kid, now I'm an adult I can't say I'm a fan of his character but I don't hate him either. It's kinda hard to feel anything about him honestly, considering he was barely in the show.

I liked him.

He was the most proactive of the Lightspeed Rangers, and his suit was wicked.

Same here.

I loved Lightspeed Rescue as a kid, and Titanium was awesome.

Titanium Ranger was kickass before Megaforce & he still is today :thumb:.

Never watched Lightspeed Rescue, so for the longest time I didn't even know he existed.

I've been a Titanium fan since Lightspeed Rescue first aired. He's in my top 3 fave '6th Rangers', along with Zeo Gold an Magna Defender.

Lightspeed Rescue was the last series I really liked as a kid, and Titanium/Ryan really helped that along. I have always liked his character.

Really dislike him. At least in my opinion, he didn't bring anything original to the table to make him a stand out as an American only ranger. I figured he would've been in the show a lot more since he was exclusive to us and the concept of original footage would've been easy to come by, but from what I remember, he wasn't in the show so much.

It doesn't help either that the LR suits are some of the most god-awful designs I've ever seen in Sentai. At least to me, though. I'm glad he has somewhat of a following cuz this something Power Rangers should embrace more often. US exclusive content that features new footage and all that.

What's a Titanium Ranger? Is that like a Millennium Chicken? I'm sorry, I don't speak Saban.

(j/k) - Honestly, I'd have to go back and watch Lightspeed Rescue again to appreciate the character more. Perhaps the next Let's Watch Wednesday series?

Honestly I thought he was OK, but nothing to really get excited for. At first he was your standard sixth and he disappeared for extremely long periods of time to the point where e felt really minor. It was cool when he was in it, but he also wasn't missed when he wasn't.

Now, knowing he was the world's first non-Sentai Ranger, I can appreciate him a little more, but back when I was watching LS Rescue and had no knowledge of Sentai, I didn't find him any more notable then any other sixth.

A year after LR, Power Rangers was overshadowed by the awesomeness that was and is Bionicle :lol

I thought he was okay. Cool character, but he was only in about ten episodes of the entire series. One of the few good actors on the cast, though.

I'll admit he was cool, but the budget problems really put a damper on what could have been a cool new thing for PR. I know this is a show meant to push toys but the Battleiser and Mega Armors could have been dropped for Ryan's sake.

I was hoping they used it in Gokaiger as Gai's Super Sentai imagination taking form. If he can Kamen Rider W the Wings why not right?

I started watching tokusatu by watching reruns of PRLR. I had no idea how important he was until many years later but I allways thought his suit was much better than the light speed suits.
I was allways confused as to why they did not give him a zord that matched him but hey, source material and what not.

The Titanium Ranger was always, and forever will be, my top Ranger.

i loved his suit and zord from the get go and i apreshaed him more after lerning that he was us only and that his suit a thorw back to turboranger, witch also had a shuttle zord.

I had stopped watching PR after Turbo but I saw LR during undergrad in 2009 and really liked his quest and focus episodes. A very neat character IMO.
