Day 7: Favorite Color Ranger

I'm going to go ahead and interpret that as "rank the colors based on your feelings for the rangers of each color, as a group" because why not.

Metallic: Gold has almost enough rangers to count on its own, but I'm grouping in Silver, Titanium, and Mercury as well, since, once grouped, they're also almost enough to count as a group. Throw the metallics all together, and it's totally legit. As a group, Tyzonn is really the only weak member. I've already raved about Gem and Gemma and Zhane, because they're awesome. Ryan is amazing, but underused (I blame McDonald's, for reasons that make perfect sense if you know the PRLR production stories). Trey is a little ridiculous, but he's pretty and there are three of him. Jason is more of a real person, when he's back as the black Gold Zeo Ranger. And then Tyzonn. He's not a bad character, but he's not good, either, and he's unfortunately inconsistently written. Merrick is also pretty cool on paper, and has one of the few WF actors to reach "passable," though he probably wouldn't seem so okay in a better season.

Green: Adam, Trip, Ziggy, Bridge and Xander. Awesome. Also Carlos and Damon, who... exist. And Joel who is sometimes awesome, sometimes very not. And also Tommy, who just no.

Yellow: I originally had Yellow under Blue, but then I realized that really, only Ronny, Lily, and Summer bring blues down, and that's more through being dull than bad. Well, Ronny's annoying, but mostly ignored by OO, so that's fine. Plus, without a yellow, WF would have had as suck a cast as OO. That makes Taylor worth a lot. Also: TANYA :D .

Blue: Saban Blues: Never dip below "pretty cool", reach as high as OMG BILLY :D . After that, it gets REALLY inconsistent. Theres "NEVER GIVE UP", followed by OMG TORI <3, followed by "Sure he grows out of his ego but it lasts too long" Ethan, followed by "JUST STOP SPEAKING" Sky, followed by some girl with like three lines, followed by a stuntman whose right to a name I've revoked, followed by Theo, followed by <3 Flynn <3. Good blues are great. Bad blues are awful. Mostly good ones, though.

Pink: Kim is probably the pink-done-right, Kat was kind of shafted, Cassie was awesome. Kendrix... was interesting but sort of not much at the same time, until her self-sacrifice. Karone was amazing in the scripts written for Karone. In the episodes written for Cassie that got reworked... eh. Except for Jen, who is amaaaaazing, the rest of the pinks are kind of a sea of mediocrity.

Red: A lot of reds get saddled with being carried more by plot than by character (Nick), which means that a lot of them are kind of unmemorable as people. Might have placed higher if Rocky-as-red hadn't been shafted by "OMG KIDS IT'S TOMMY" writing.

Black: There haven't been many, and Adam and Dillon are the only ones to rise above mediocrity. Also, Will sucks SO MUCH.

White: Alyssa. Tommy. Sam. Sorry, Delphine, you can only do so much.

The rest: Actually, as a group probably rank semi-high, but for every awesome like RJ or "holy shit, this plot" Magna Defender, you have a blip like Nova Ranger or "did he do anything other than die for a while?" Mike. Very mixed group.
