Had a thought. Well two of them. The first is I suck at trying to come up with a clever title for my new threads. And the second is here needs to be a real female Red. Samurai started the idea. But I mean more than just a three episode, or so, arch. From start of the series, to the end, a real female red ranger. Or American could do it. We already gave Zyranger Yellow a sex-change. So why not make an American red for an entire season?
Okay, start your flaming now. Cause if Megaforce ends up being Goseiger, or Gokaiger, I hope they do this. Yes, I just said here I hope they make Marvelous a woman. |

I'd welcome the change but I understand why it'll probably never happen.
The primary target market for "Power Rangers" is boys ages 5-9 (ish) and most of them probably wouldn't be willing to enjoy a show starring a girl. |

Paladin pretty much hit the nail on the head there.

Have either of you heard of a show on Nickelodeon called 'The Legend of Korra' by any chance?

I'm sure a series with a female lead COULD work but at the moment its an uphill battle against the standards of action programming. |

They had a female Red Ranger, but then she turned out to be evil

I'd like to be proved wrong anyway, I think a female red ranger as a fully fledged team member could work well.

Honestly, I think a female red Power Ranger could totally work - especially with Hunger Games being so big right now. I don't see Japan ever doing it, though. It's a much more conservative and patriarchal country. We may get the occasional female team leader (Kakuranger, Timeranger), but the red is the iconic role and I can't see Toei ever doing a permanent female Red (just like we'll never have a Kamen Rider show with a lead female Rider - or likely even a permanent secondary female Rider).
