Power Ranger Dino Thunder

This is an old school one, it's the only season I've ever said "I can do better" because when abaranger was early in it's run I saw an american adaptation laid out clear as day. and posted it to RB LONG before it ever aired. some of my idea matched up with thiers some didn't.

What would I change?

First off Jason would have been the returning Black ranger rather than Tommy, this would have allowed the character Emily "easily recast" to have played the same role Asukas wife did in Abaranger, pretty much the only thing that I would have borrowed from the sentai. this would have allowed some pretty extreme motivation for Jason.

The three kids would have been pretty much exactly the same except for a scene about a third in where they break one of Zordons 3 rules (which Jason tried to immpress on them) being to not use thier powers unless a monster attack, right after a megazord battle they try to stop a purse statcher (Or some other random petty crime) and end up putting the guy in the hospital due to how strong the suits make them by default. this would have lead to a story arc involving a fair bit of continuity with the larger universe. threads aside, Tommy would have returned as the white Ranger, not evil....but under some false assumptions which eventually would lead to him joining the team, but it also would have resulted in those ASJ and JDF getting to play themselves on camera with the rivalry we've heard about.

Third change, thier command center, the intro to the series would have found Jason VERY suddenly having powers and in the mentor role, no prep time, no fancy multi-million dollar command center, this would have been his basement with all the Radio shack gear they could fit on his credit card, would be VERY lo-tech.

The Villian. Mezagog is out. The villian I picture was a totally diffrent Ballgame, Zordons son, whom has set up shop in Zedds old castle. The Dino Thunder powers were Zordons great back up plan. in case this kid ever came back. and this kid is Horrifying., He is insane in the truest sense of the word. switching from an almost childish nature to straight up evil in the blink of an eye, his deranged mental state also accounting for the haphazard nature of the monsters.

the series also would have explored the nature of "delving deeper" into thier powers, something which was in the final cut. given the fact I posted a very large story treatment at a point that would have been very early in DT production I like to delude myself into think that idea did come from me.
