30 Days of PR: Day 5
Nov. 5th, 2010 10:39 amDay 5: Favorite Female Ranger
Can I say Umeko? No? Sentai doesn't count? Damn. 'Cause Umeko is awesome and like my favorite ever. EVER.
If I have to stick to PR, it's tougher. There's a lot about Rose that I identify with on paper, but the execution isn't strong, and some of it's stuff I don't exactly like about myself. I'm tempted to say Madison just so she doesn't fade out of existence, but. I mean, I don't dislike her, but there's really not much "her" to like. (Melanie Vallejo seems nice enough, and I'm totally jealous she got to date Firass Dirani, BTW.) Kira's pretty cool, but her lyric writing "skills" kind of grate. (I'm pretty sure the first time she sings, it's like thirty lines that are all the same line. AAAAGH.) The Saban-era girls (and Taylor) all get enough love, so I don't have to name check them on the way to my answer, and Alyssa is a ridiculous shell of Sue-ish traits, so.
OH COME ON YOU KNOW I WAS GOING TO SAY TORI IS AWESOME. I mean, Tori. It's rare that someone can pull off being the Team Mom while still being on a totally even playing field with everyone (except Cam). She surfs! She's badass! She FOUGHT AN ENTIRE TEAM OF EVIL RANGERS ALONE JUST BECAUSE SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE THERE TO DO IT. Tori's awesome needs no explanation.
(Cassie was a reeeeally close second, and probably would have won if they'd kept more of her Passing the Torch characterization in the long run.)
