And how did we never notice this? Man... I'm pretty sure Japan doesn't have nearly the White Power problem that we do. Folks loved green ranger here and over there, they couldn't not breakout white ranger in US and still keep it goin in the 90s, it would've been nearly impossible figuring out what footage to use and not use at that point.

Yea I forgot about the Japan part. And I will NOT make a similar joke about the yellow power ranger instead. Buzzette offset the white power ranger with the black power ranger. My green power ranger was with a slightly racist impression with a luck charms style accent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, in Japan, it's Super Sentai. It was in the US that we made the "Power Rangers", so I think the point remains valid. 4 hours ago, TheGreatBuzz said: Yea I forgot about the Japan part.

(And Tommy was a badass; dude was a legit martial artist, so they found every opportunity they could to give the actor his own action scenes beyond the repurposed Super Sentai footage). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Begs question, did green ranger in Japan die before Americans decided to make their version and call it power rangers? I couldn't tell from Wikipedia and I was just a kitten while this was all goin on in real time. Reads like green "ranger" was brought back as white "ranger" out of his high popularity, depending on timing not sure Americans coulda seen that coming, and just went with it hoping no one would take it there with the white power thing in the states (talking out loud here ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The green power ranger and the white power ranger are the same guy, and he very much looks like a "white power" kinda person.

I think I'm gonna be here awhile. Freaked me out how so many ppl started coming in and out after results came back. I thought they were about to tell me I had cancer or something. Everybody keeps rubbing my chest down w all this weird gooey stuff to get readings (I think. I just stfu for the most part, unless i have a feeling what theyre doing might be killing me), and I'm afraid that it feels very good... Might try to stay here a little longer.
