Thank you for reading. Yeah, an EDM or techno theme song for a season is something that I don't think is out of the question, it's just that I felt it(and by extension Dino Fury's' theme) weren't the best executed.

Fern pink though.... You want to take the suit that was repainted from Amelia's suit and make it pink? Is it your intention to confuse people?

After finishing the show, I've decided I would've made Aiyon yellow as well, to create a Go-Onger/RPM combo. Personally, I never thought gold suited him anyway. I'd keep the navy arms though.

Aiyon as Yellow or Orange would've worked alot better, given that those are the two Zords that he pilots most often. As for Fern, well, confusing or not, given that the Pink Zord is used without a pilot in almost every Zord battle, I think it would've worked out for the better since they wanted to make Amelia Red and not Zayto.

Granted, another option would've been making Fern Red, but then we run into the issue of a total newcomer being made the leader and I don't think that would've sat well with anyone.

Another thing about the production side of things: Apparently Void Knight couldn't return due to Toei not returning the suit to the US in time. In which case I would've suggested making Tarrick the Purple Ranger, even if it would've only been for an episode or two.

Zayto not being Purple or Silver is seriously confusing though. And that's not even getting into a baffling decision by the higher ups as to why he couldn't remain a White Ranger.

It's pretty weird how Mick ended up piloting that Zord longer than any of the actual Cosmic Fury Rangers. Then he just disappears and never comes back.

Could've been another missed opportunity to use Ryusoul Brown!

Oh yeah, I read about that. It's even more ridiculous when you remember Hayley as Ninja Steel White. Bennett's mind is truly a paradox.

I really wish that suit had shown up in Dino Fury. If Brown isn't a color they wanted to use, they could've easily called him the Bronze Ranger given the sheen on the suit.

Or Trent as Dino Thunder White. And as far as I'm aware, literally no one complained about either.

^ And there’s also Alyssa from Wild Force as well.

Just got done reading the 30th Anniversary issue of MMPR, and man, it's a great time.

It's a series of short stories that celebrate various aspects of, well, Power Rangers. I really dug how so much focus was put on characters outside of the Rangers like Alpha and Ernie.

If you're at all a fan of Mighty Morphin', whether it be the comics or the show, I highly recommend giving it a read.
