It's actually kinda cool that Cranston is Zordon in the movie given his history with the show (and Billy's last name being an homage to it)

Dude could never live up to Jason.

Probably why they made Tommy Red in Zeo.
Rocky was never supposed to live up to Jason, Tommy was made the leader when Austin St. John left the show, if he had stayed Jason would have remained the leader. They rerecorded some lines in White Light and declared Tommy the leader but in the two episodes after that while Austin St. John was still part of the show Jason is still leading the team.
Anyway, when Rocky was created and cast it was already decided that Tommy would lead the team, Rocky wasn't a new Jason or a leader, he was just another team member.

The reason Tommy became red in Zeo was because they went back to use sentai footage and the Ohranger footage clearly showed red leadimg the team, so of course that spot went to the PRs established leader.

Andros only got the Red spot because he was already Red and was from space in the first place!

I'll not have TJ slander in this thread!
But that was the writer's choice, Andros could have been introduced as the blue ranger, while he was fightimg alone the color of his suit really didn't matter.
It does make sense though that they made him red, the former Turbo Rangers were on his turf, lived on his ship, followed his directions and he was central to the season's story with the search for his sister etc., the other rangers wanted to save Zordon but they were really just along for the ride, Space was primarily Andros' story.

I agree that T.J. was a great red, tje decision to make him blue him was story driven, not because he couldn't live up to anyone and even as the blue ranger he still showed leadership qualities, he was a great character, one of my favourites from that era.
 
Oh wait, I thought I didn't see any of the other shows since Season 1 ended but looking at the OP I remembered catching a few episodes of Mystic Force on Jetix some 10 years ago. Only thing I remember was thinking how the production values went up and how it's a bit strange to see Power Rangers mixed with high fantasy.

When did they stop using the Super Sentai footage?

they always used SS footage, the difference is frequency

as far as I know MMPRS2 and RPM have the least amount of Sentai footage used, and even then S2 cheats due to Zyu2 footage.
 
I think I preferred it when they used the old Zyuranger footage, the US-shot fights are always in parks or empty fields and look too clean. Also I think as a kid this is about where the show started to lose me, although the Ninja arc dragged me back in.

The choreography and acting was also much better.
 
They are in the western episode ? (At work now)

I always wondered why if they were back in time, would not show the original black, yellow and red instead. I don't know why I always though the new guys were transferred from out of Angel Grove.
