Power Rangers Discussion

so.... thinking about it and weighing each Red Ranger (specifically from power rangers) I think my top 5 pick for best red rangers would be the following.

1. Tommy - Zeo Red. He has the most ranger experience, has stopped multiple evil factions, and pretty much sets the standard for what a Red Ranger/ Leader should be.

2. Andros - Space Red. He is one of the most paragon examples of a Red ranger who is willing to make the tough calls for the greater good of everyone, even if it means trying to stop his own sister who was turned evil, or even destroy Zordon so that the good energy of Zordon would purify the galaxy, even though it devastated him personally, he knew it was for a far greater cause.

3. Carter - Lightspeed Red. A literal role model for what a Red Ranger SHOULD be. He is an exemplary leader, has all the tenacity and Willpower to keep fighting even when literally everything is against him, dude was a hero even BEFORE he became a red ranger, as he was a Firefighter for Mariner Bay.

4. Cole - WIldforce Red. While not the defacto Leader of the Wildforce Rangers (considering that was more Wildforce Yellow's station) His attunement to nature and compassion for all living things resulted in him becoming an amazing Red Ranger in his own right.

5. Wes - Timeforce Red. You wanna talk about MADE for the role? Wes is a literal fucking nobody (despite coming from money) he wants to be his own self made man rather than relying on his dad's money to support him. Has no idea how to be a power ranger, and even STILL steps up to the role so damned well that the red ranger they had him replace (alex) comes back from the future and is like "Damn yeah, you did the job better than me". And not until the very end of the series did he actually finally agree to work with his father, once everything was said and done to establish a better protected future moving forward. (Something he was so damned good at, that even Eric who was the Quantum Ranger took second fiddle to him as leader of the Silver Guardians)

Wow you pretty much chose the late 90s early 2000's ranger teams.
While I like most I don't think Tommy was a good red ranger. He was better as the 6th ranger/ wild card. As zeo red he was just generic red leader. Nothing to write home about.

That's a fair point, but my reason for choosing him was literally because of his experience as a ranger, and a leader, (since he was given the status of leader once he became the MMPR white ranger) And there are other rangers that I could move around in this list that could also fit the positions pretty well, such as Leo from Lost Galaxy being a fantastic red ranger since he wasn't even MEANT to be the red ranger and still did the job amazingly well.

Carter and Wes are on my top 5. Both are examples of good role models what felt real.

Absolutely, that's part of why i love the two of them as well. They're both practically gold standards for what Red Rangers SHOULD be like. Sure there are other great red rangers, I don't think too many people would argue that Jayden wasn't a good red ranger, but he was also just kind of ... "That guy" there was no growth there for him in the role, he just had the role and did it. (though his dark character arc of having an unfinished rivalry was.... different and interesting) but he never felt fully real or as relatable as other red rangers had.
