Speaking of Civil War, is anyone seeing Tommy as the PR 'verse's equivalent of Tony Stark after Dino Thunder?
.Both have names that begin with a 'T' .Both have facial hair (okay I'm reaching with this) .Both have numerous suits that grant them super powers (though in Tommy's case it's more like gaining and losing suits) .Both have redheaded female assistants .Both have served as the 'Big Goods' to some degree .Both have sins they are trying to atone for (Tony's weapons and the pain they caused and Tommy as the evil Green Ranger) .Both have/had rivalries with team leaders (Steve/Jason)

Also here's what would have happened to the Red Ranger of that series:

A couple of issues with that. 1) I've never really taken Iron Man to be much of a Big Good figure, except maybe in Civil War. Which was crappy for everyone. Really, S.H.I.E.L.D., the FF, or the Avengers are more the Big Good. Or, if we're talking one individual who's the Biggest in terms of Goodness, that's more Captain America's thing. 2) The Atoner he may be, but it still doesn't change that Tony's often a jackass and full of himself. 3) Tony is "the guy you go to when you need a supergenius". Tommy is "the guy you go to when you need an old-school Memetic Badass."
So really, Tommy is more like Steve Rogers than he is Tony Stark. Heck, I don't think PR really even has a Tony Stark. ...although it does have a Reed Richards.
All of that is similarities in the broadest way possible. Sharing a few select tropes doesn't really make a viable comparison.
Back to the Ranger League, having someone start out as a good guy and willingly turn evil is not really appropriate for the tone of Power Rangers. It simply goes to a place that Power Rangers doesn't have the complexity to portray properly. The franchise does do redemption arcs pretty well (Tommy, Astronema/Karone, Ransik, Jerrod), but they have the characters start out in a bad place and work their way up. To see a good character legitimately fall to The Dark Side means that they need to do some horrible things in the present story to earn their new villain status, and they can't do anything too bad without crossing the Moral Event Horizon. This is in addition to being limited by the stock footage.
Well, Kalish pulled off turning a whole Ranger team evil in SPD. Although we didn't really know the team, but still, I personally think the Red Ranger story sounds kinda interesting, so long as they redeem him again. He seems like he could be like Nadira sort of.
My personal pipe dream is, during the next animal themes season, we get a crossover with Jungle Fury, specifically the rangers run into Camille who'd trying to rescue Jarrod who's been taken by the big bads. Cue extra help from the Jungle Fury rangers XD
By the way, did anyone see this animated thing about the original team? It's done in CG.

And just when we put Skylar Deleon's actions behind us...
Seems to have been in self-defense..but still, this is a bummer. I really enjoyed the character he played in Samurai

If... I gotta say, it's like Medina did self defense, realized that he wounded someone, called 911 and hospital, first to detain himself for wounding someone and second to hopefully get his attacker tended, but then it turned out he's dead, so his choice of detainment is correct because self-defense or not, he just committed a murder and turning himself up is the proper choice.
But things can turn out for worse.
A video from Austin St. John offering his condolences to the victim's family. It was filmed days before the news that Medina wouldn't be charged:
So I saw someone mention but the future Violet Ranger's name is Kendall Morgan. A Shout-Out to Kendrix Morgan or could they be related?
There's a poster on youtube who does some cool PR mashups. Here's a few I think you guys might like.

The only season Premiere(including all proper episodes to finish it off) I didn't find that super great was Turbo, but it's true Premiere was a lackluster movie.
OO was somewhat better, imo. I think I prefer ones that actually gather the characters overall in some way. Turbo didn't have that. None the less, it did work overall. It felt like a decent start since they did establish Divatox's stay on Earth and all.
The real Premiere of Samurai was shown way later than it should've been due to an error in episodes order. I liked that one, same with the second part. The Zord mishap was funny, imo. As for secondary seasons, I felt they did fine with those overall as well. Ones that are blatantly a second season, at least. The Disney series didn't really have them expected technically Wild Force at best, as it had a variation of the original theme. I think Lost Galaxy is the last one to make it blatant it was a second season as well. I'm not sure if it was labeled one though. I forget.
Anyway, even if the next season wasn't great, I do like the new versions of the theme. I found it neat Super Megaforce had an all new scenes shown, and even had Orion speak his name in a varied opening. I wish Robo Knight did as well.
As for Dino Charge, pretty nice. I do hope the talks about Jason becoming the Gold Ranger is true, but keep in mind it's an ideal plan, not confirmed... unless I missed the memo where it was.
Shadow?

I also can't imagine they would have been keen on his idea of creating a brand new female Ranger. Wasn't there only one other attempt at a completely original Ranger in the entire franchise?
