Of course I know where most of the mecha and suit footage comes from and I hope you are right about the other tributes, but Megaforce is still being advertised as part of the 20th Anniversary and I was hoping they wouldn't just focus on the first season for it. It was exaggerated, but it was still, to me, an annoying aspect of the first episode.

Tommy is the most popular character from any past season of Power Rangers. He just is. He constistantly wins fans polls on the subject. That's why they're bringing him back.

I know that he's popular, but I still feel like they should still base on-screen hype over characters with what we've actually seen on screen. There hasn't been any confirmation on his return though, has there?

When old skunk-hair wins a poll, then we're talk. And don't act like he took out Zordon because he knew it was the only way to save the universe. He had to be drug into kicking and screaming every step of the way. Like everything else that season. He had to be forced into his battilizer, he had to be forced to letting the Earth Rangers on the team, he had to be forced to accepting Zayne was alive. The entire season would've been seven episodes shorter if only they didn't have to waste time pulling Andros into something while he threw a hissyfit.

I used Andros as an example of another Red Ranger who had achievements equal to Tommy, which he did have, Tommy didn't do anything more remarkable then Andros that I can recall off the top of my head. He's not the only example though, honestly I think many rangers have managed greater or equal feats to Tommy, Leo taking Trakeena down by himself, is another example I think is good (although I think the chances Saban giving Danny Slavin any hype is close to zero). I understand the reason Tommy is hyped so much is because of his popularity, but that doesn't mean I think its fair; I don't like the idea of titling anyone as "the greatest ranger" is fair at all in a show that's main element is team work in the first place. The fact I personally have no nostalgia attached to him as it is only recently that I saw all the seasons of Power Rangers also helps make me view Tommy as nothing hugely special too.
