Seriously, the only yellows I'd vote for Gia over are Dustin, Chip and whoever the one in OO was.

I like Gia because she is a strong female character.

A lot of "strong female role models" on Power Rangers are actually really shallow and artificial, they are the media's representation of what they think makes a strong female character.

I love that Gia isn't just forced into a relationship with Jake, like when Kira immediately crushed on Trent because...she was the only girl on the team.

I like that Gia is strong enough and respected enough by her team that all she needs to do is nod and her friends go charging into battle, it's enough.

And I like that she, amongst all the best yellows like Lily, can fight and fend for herself, she doesn't rely on the red or the sixth, she is strong herself.

I don't think Power Rangers has enough characters like Gia, where their strengths are actually established, rather than just told to us. I find her inspiring.

And previous yellows have?

Tanya walked out on a relationship because the guy she liked tried to be jealous and controlling.

Tanya could fend for herself and was respected by her team despite NONE of them knowing anything about her prior to becoming a ranger.

Gia is no more a "strong female character" than anyone who's come before her.

I can't speak for Tanya as I've not seen Zeo since I was a kid but...yes.

More often than not in a Power Rangers team the members aside from the red and sixth are just kinda....there and the female members of the team often get shafted even further, if that is even possible.

Right, gotcha. I assumed you were talking about yellows specifically rather than the remaining members of each team. That makes a lot more sense.

Still, there are still a few I'd put on par with Gia, but each to their own. In all honesty, I'm the guy with the Zeo username and sig so it was obvious where my vote was going anyway

Nah, I just focused on yellows in my original post because that is what we were talking about!

Haha yeah, I think your choice was set

[Sentai]

Ha. Tanya thought she could pull one off, but then Gia came back and said Nope! -cackles-

It was getting real close and I thought my curse had struck again.
