To me Jason was the leader until rocky came along, that’s when I recognized Tommy as the leader

[@soki324]

Same.

[@flexinvvs4831]

Yeah it would make sense too because in the end, Tommy was more powerful with his powers and was as good of a leader as Jason so it was good for Jason to recognize this and step aside

[@danakinstreetrider]

EXACTLY

[@SwabySean1]

There was an episode where the rangers was in the command center and Jason called "It's Morphin time" over Tommy the white ranger.

[@johnmacgillivray1701]

Meh, Jason was okay. The White Ranger(Tommy) will always be the leader of the Mighty Morphing Rangers to me. Might be because I had the movie on VHS as a kid and it was one of my favourite movies.

[@anthonyisidrobayawaiv2806]

Even after tommy was promoted to leader, jason still yelled the role call - its morphin time. Tommy might have been appointed leader but he didnt earn the right to be called one till jason left

[@Mr_Mack88]

Yeah even though he was the leader Jason was still second in command.

[@davisbowe8668]

That's because Zordon's line about Tommy being leader was dubbed after Austin St. John had left the show so even though Tommy was recognized as the leader, the show carried on as if Jason was still the leader until he left.

[@silentwolfkills3924]

He was leader when he became the 6th ranger but didn’t actual get called one and became one until Zeo as Zeo Red

@Cosmoswes wasn't the leader Jenn was dumbass

[@terrymcginnis2878]

The White Ranger is still my favorite version of Tommy Oliver. He’s got Saba, the White Tigerzord, the White ninja Falconzord and white shogun zord. Honestly Tommy proved his valor that Zordon knew that his leadership would service the team.

[@EriPages]

But it sucks they had to keep changing powers from Green to White to Red I love all 3 though

[@MardonNaLou]

I felt it was super harsh to replace Jason as leader. Jason had been doing an awesome job and Zordon never gave a reason for the change in leadership. I believe it was because at the time, the show runners knew they were phasing out Austin St. John, Walter Jones, Thuy Thrang out. Still though they could have waited until after the new kids came in and make Tommy the leader then. That would make more sense.

[@CretaceousProductions]

Tommy still Has Cooler colors and overall Just is Cooler!.

[@MardonNaLou]

@@CretaceousProductions Not arguing that, but you missed the point. I just think They could shown Jason a bit more respect is all.

[@winterwolfsden]

Yup. If it was a planned phase out for business reasons the writers can and should still do right by the characters.

[@thedefinitionisthis]

@@winterwolfsden When it was a forgone conclusion that ASJ was leaving the show, the writers last-minute made Tommy the leader. There was even an episode after "White Light" that showed Jason still making the "It's Morphin' Time" call with all 6 Rangers present. Had he remained on the show, he would've stayed the leader.

[@deviousj5868]

Initially, Jason was going to remain as the leader. But Austin St John, Thuay Trang, and Walter Jones had already left. They finished a few episodes, but after their voices were replaced, they were seen less, and archive footage was used for them.. Tommy was very popular, so obvious choice. In universe, I felt like Zordon was getting Jason (and the other two) ready for the Peace Conference, so he transitioned everything over time.

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

I never really thought about it too much as a kid regarding the 'leadership transfer' because the White Ranger was so cool and easily the strongest of the MMPR team. However, it kind of reminds me of how Taylor (Wild Force Yellow) was the FIRST ranger of her team with over a year of experience making her leader. Then when Cole was recruited and became Red Ranger, Princess Shayla made him leader just because... Yeah, these 'mentors' have a weird way of randomly putting a person as "leader" of a team regardless of "work experience" HAHA

[@waleedkhalid7486]

Similar thing happened in Time Force (my favorite season)! Pink became the leader after Red was ‘killed’, but gave up leadership to a literal noobie Red because the Red morpher controlled the others in the squad.

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

@@waleedkhalid7486 Ya know I never really considered Wes to be the TRUE leader of Time Force. I think he really wasn't recognized as the BEST leader of the team until Alex went to the past and took over Red Ranger duties and his team called him out for it. I think as Jen grew closer to Wes and the team, she slowly opted for somewhat of a co-leadership role with Wes.

[@Shadothecat]

@@waleedkhalid7486 Jen was the over all leader and Wes was the battle leader

[@alext4760]

Jason is and will always be the true leader of the power rangers!

[@racheljackson4428]

NOT IN MY BOOK!

[@DNick5001]

I don't imagine that Tommy taking over as leader was in the original script for white light. Seems like a hastily added ADR line because of the three actors walking off. I always took it as a dig to Austin St. John since they could have easily had Jason stay leader until the three new cast members officially took over as power rangers, and then make Tommy leader.

[@feroce82]

Agreed 100%

[@KARLTONTCLAY]

This makes a LOT of sense! I never understood why Jason was just standing there smiling after Zordon basically gave his position away to Tommy.

[@Amored_Red_Ranger]

Agreed

[@Natedagreat598]

On the issue of Tommy replacing Jason as the leader this has always been a hot button topic for me. Obviously they did it because of the contract disputes and the impending departure of the original red/black/yellow rangers, but from i story stand point it made absolutely ZERO since. They had just finished Jason’s arc where he proved his leadership skills and finally fully accepting his leadership roll despite his doubts after Tommy lost his green ranger powers. Jason was an amazing leader to the team and to be cast aside like that because Tommy had a new set of powers was terrible story telling.

[@critter2]

why can't they just be co-leaders you all have a problem with it. Lets just go from there. and maybe we should do video on this subject of him becoming a leader and why?

[@AnilSubhrai]

I still can’t believe this has happened. Jason David Frank has died. He was my hero from my childhood. And he truly was one of the greatest, most badass Power Rangers legend of all time #ripjasondavidfrank

[@toolivecue9186]

I always looked as Jason as the leader until he was switched with Rocky

[@davidesterley3163]

While the show expressed their own reasoning behind the switch, the comics in these recent years made it more logical but that's just my opinion and everyone is entitled to their own

[@CryptoFeez]

What happens ?

[@etherealdreamerart]

Tommy was very powerful as the white Ranger. Just wasn't a fan of Zordon demoting Jason as leader and making Tommy the leader.

[@MardonNaLou]

I think it was because behind the scenes the show runners were planning to replace Jason's actor and the others at the time. Still though they could have waited until after Jason left the series.

[@metpach]

@@MardonNaLou that is actually the reason. Austin St John was planning on leaving the show. And the writers intended on making Jason David Frank the new face and leader. Almost 30 years later and Tommy is still making an impact.

[@delsongreene8770]

@@MardonNaLou I agree. But I think it was a missing opportunity to have a Jason centered episode on him giving up leadership to Tommy rather than leadership just being taken away from him. They could say like Jason was working on training so it wouldn’t feel like the peace conference would make more sense for the training

[@Amored_Red_Ranger]

I always thought the peace conference reason was bullshit when they can teleport.

[@ericshun2552]

Jason should have been leader up until he was replaced by Rocky imo, when Jason became THE Gold ranger he didn't step on Tommy's toes as leader.

[@SolarDNA]

^This!^👍

[@SolarDNA]

Although it wasn't Tommy's fault. Zordon is the one who demoted Jason for no legit reason. In any case it's just like you said, Tommy should have only been handed leadership after Jason left and Rocky replaced him.

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

I loved that moment between in Zeo after Jason returned. I think they were training at the juice bar and he mentioned that he didn't want Tommy to feel like his return meant reclaiming leadership over the team. Tommy was like "Nah fam, the rangers aren't just one guy telling the others what to do; it's teamwork..." Sure I'm paraphrasing but that was a cool bro moment I'll always remember between them :)

[@Shadothecat]

This could of happen had Austin and the other two would of waited to exit. Like Kim and Billy

[@cloudthedj]

Jason and the black and yellow rangers were protesting IRL for higher wages, so he got punished and Tommy got labeled as the leader. Then Jason n them got fired and they brought in the new red black and yellow Ranger.

[@spectraphantom5870]

1:54 To answer that question, it kind of made me mad. Like we weren’t really given a good reason as to why Tommy replaced Jason as the leader, especially since he Zack an Trini we’re still around. But when Rocky, Aisha, and Adam showed up it made more sense to make Tommy the leader there And following the events of Zeo Also PS, I love your channel and videos

[@markmagician2471]

I assume because Tommy has the skills that rival Jason and leadership and Jason was going to the World Peace Conference.

[@feroce82]

We all know the actors who starred Jason,Zach and Trini were leaving, so the decision was right, but at the time we didn't know what happened behind the scenes. That was when people started to lose interest in the show, from MMPR becomes the Tommy Oliver Show. Jason was a better and fair leader,Tommy acted like a God until Zeo

[@mecha-mike5218]

@@markmagician2471 Tommy becoming leader takes place before the announcement of the world peace conference. Tommy should have become the moment Jason, Zack and Trini did the power transfer.

That was a slap to the face to me. Here's the new guy now he's gonna take your job as leader smh.

[@mecha-mike5218]

@@silverbolt9439 I agree it rub me the wrong way when I saw it those episodes. JDF became the popular character on the show and orginally he was supposed to be the lead in VR Toopers. But the show runners want him back at power rangers and from that point on it slowly become Tommy Oliver ft the power rangers.

[@Trekapedia]

When they brought The White Ranger on, I had a feeling it was Tommy and I’m glad I was right. He was one of my favorite characters and I’m glad he got to stay on. Ty again for the videos and I love your stance on Power Rangers. I didn’t mind Jason being replaced as leader but it was sad to see Jason leave. He passed the mantle of leader with grace and dignity and honor.

[@dreadwing01]

Making Tommy the leader before Jason stepped away kinda stung considering the other original rangers where around. But when rocky and the others came around it made sense.

[@markmagician2471]

Tommy as Green or White it doesn't matter Tommy is the best!

[@jonathanbynoe4375]

The white ranger is my all time favourite ranger, I remember heading home after school to watch the episode White Light. However, it would make sense that Jason would've remained the leader because he is more experienced than Tommy and power doesn't always mean you are the leader. I think that maybe Zordon thought that Jason was burdened at times for being a leader so he selected Tommy to be the leader and the weight was lifted off Jason's shoulder. I find the Tommy character the most loved and cherished in Power Rangers lore granted that he has been in the most Power Ranger episodes than any other character.

[@Amored_Red_Ranger]

His character was well written but I think also because he always got the best stuff. Gold trimmed costumes, Zords, weapons and such. People like shiny things

[@critter2]

but Tommy wasn't supposed to survived he only did cause of American support

[@AidenXJeffreySkits]

There was a lot of contention behind the scenes with Austin, Thuy and Walter, and making Tommy the new leader was a way of pushing Austin out. I feel it was more about what was happening behind the scenes than anything.

It does make some sense.

[@flowrebaz6189]

[@Magnamaster]

Wait what happened betweeb the scenes

[@AidenXJeffreySkits]

@@Magnamaster the production was non-union so in short they didn't have the benefits a regular union production would have so they weren't taken care of as they should have and it came to a point that Austin, Thuy and Walter wanted to be compensated more than what they were given.

[@SolarDNA]

@@flowrebaz6189 That's not true. Jason was there when Tommy was revealed as White Ranger and Zordon immediately said something like "Meet the new leader of the Power Rangers" with Jason having to act like he was happy or it was no biggie to him. Go rewatch that scene. 👍

[@C.Johnson9714]

They should've had Jason remain as leader when Tommy became the white ranger and then when Rocky, Adam and Aisha became rangers that should've been the moment that Tommy becomes the new leader of the team.

[@stephenholloway6893]

You have to look at it from both a story and production side of things. Production wise it makes sense nothing against Billy or Kimberly but neither of them felt leader like despite being rangers longer then Tommy. Plus those last remaining episodes they filmed before leaving for good (at the time with Jason's case) did help make the switchover easy. Especially when they no longer appeared at all, and had to use either doubles or stock footage for a little bit. But far as story goes yeah once Jason Trini and Zack left then Tommy earned the leadership role. Though to be fair had they stayed, I would suspect that Tommy would be promoted anyway but to 2nd in command over Zack. Similar to how it went in Zeo when Jason returned.

[@tannerh2010]

I want all versions of Tommy Oliver’s ranger forms talked about in individual videos also!!

[@jacobwright4966]

Seems it was more of a behind the scenes decision more than storytelling! White ranger was way flashier than the others so let’s make him the leader! I think we can all agree that he should’ve become the leader when Jason got to do the peace summit! Would’ve liked seeing Tommy struggle taking on the mantle of leadership after Jason

[@silverbolt9439]

Agreed that's how most of us feel, Jason got done dirty.

[@BalorShield]

Tommy as the Green Ranger.. he was more the Solo Sixth.. lost his powers.. came back, but imo weaker in power.. Zordon then made him the the Most Powerful Ranger at that time, forcing the leadership role onto Tommy seemed more like a test or learning experience in team work,controlling his new powers responsibly. Jason still somewhat lead the other 4 rangers (group special attacks, MegaZord Formation and operation) while Tommy was lead the attack. it's like how Cruger made Jack the Red Ranger Leader over Sky, even tho Sky had been the leader of the other cadets before. Jack had alot of learning to do, and had a decent character arc.

[@cloudthedj]

The transition to the zeo would be sick

[@sewnmind1786]

Tommy is just the leader of all the rangers every where.

[@mattlinkous4356]

Just in terms of storytelling it would have made more sense for Tommy to take over as leader after Jason,Zack, and Trini left for the conference. As is it just seems like Jason is kicked off the position for no clear reason and IIRC Jason doesn't even have a reaction about it.

[@Shadothecat]

Yet they couldn't do that cause they were already splicing scenes with those three in it and hiring people to stand in for them

The White Ranger will always be my favorite form of my favorite character Tommy, no other ranger is powered by the "White Light of Goodness", which gives Tommy a paladin vibe and a nice contrast to the Green Ranger. As for your questions, The change in leadership IMO is weird, it has no impact on the team and its a throw away line at that. They should've waited for the replacements where it would've made more sense. Despite this, it doesn't bring down the episode for me and considering Jason and Tommy's rivalry there does seem to be more to it than Tommy got a powerup. On the bright side this does set up Tommy's future endeavors. As for Tom I'm not surprised if that theory was true, after all PR has frequently screwed over time.

I like the story of Tommy Oliver, the light arc compared to his only dark counterpart Lord Drakkon is only a mental choice difference but it shows that him as Drakkon was stagnant in his power and unwavering in his decisions until Shattered Grid where he practically became a God, while as him as light shows a maturity and acceptance throughout his life, though personally I would have liked seeing moments where Tommy had some of his old Dark moments since the spell on him was repeated twice when he was green ranger.

[@lukegranger5098]

I personally feel that Tommy should have only become leader after Jason left the team. Side note: I hate the fact the Rocky was made red ranger (2nd in command) I think Billy should have been made red ranger and Rocky should have become blue ranger which would have worked perfect for when he became blue zeo ranger. Sorry for the rant

[@hackman669]

Makes sense, don't know why the actor that played Billy was treated so badly? Especially after all the dedication to the series. He was the longest to serve in the Power Rangers. If they ever do a reboot, or a continuation, would be nice to see Billy's character, with the original actor, again as lead Ranger or even as the creator of new powers.

[@realwildracer28]

Paraphrasing spiderman with great power comes great responsibility

[@rossy9095]

Actually Tommy was never meant to be the leader. The line about him becoming leader was added in post production of the Episode following Austin thuy and Walter leaving the show, as the following episode would feature the remaining rangers more prominently I guess it made more sense for the leader to be shown both morphed and unmorphed. The production of this show was a mess at times it’s any wonder how it’s endured for so long! Haha!

[@deviousj5868]

My take is Zordon demoted Jason because he was to focus on his studies due to being selected for the Peace Conference. By the time they were done with Switzerland, they would have been high school seniors.

It was said that Jason, Zack and Trini's last episode was "Opposites Attract. If you look at the next 7 episodes, which are The ninja encounter part 1,2,and 3, A Monster of Global Proportions, Zedd Waves, The Power Transfer part 1 and 2 they are using stock footage for Jason, Zack, and Trini. The clothes that they are wearing gives it away, and Zack's hair went from being braided back to a haircut. The Power Transfer episodes is Stock footage of the episodes "Green No More" and The Ninja Encounter episodes are stock footage of the "Song of Guitardo". It took me a while to figure this out, but I had remembered the clothes the rangers wore in past episodes. Also "The Ninja Encounter" episodes are also stock footage of "Birds of A Feather" episode from season 1.

@@otaviousnewsome4267 good eye.

[@SwabySean1]

@@otaviousnewsome4267 I noticed all of that. Also Tommy had to wear green clothes to match some of that stock footage.

My first experience digesting Power Rangers was with season 2/3 so the white ranger is always Tommy in my brain. Although going back and rewatching Season 1 as an adult, Green is chill too

[@hackman669]

Seems to me that the Green Ranger suit inspired the White Ranger. They appear to be similar but different.

[@ElPhenomenon]

Idk tbh I’m rewatching it/ watching it for the first time , it always seemed like tommy was either treated like the superior ranger / always seemed like he was going to be the leader . Jason was a good leader , but from day 1 when tommy showed up I knew he was gonna end up the main guy

[@ryanbruce]

Jason should have remained leader until the power transfer. It was a damn popularity contest.

[@inhumanhyena]

Yeah I don't agree with Zordon making Tommy the leader because his awarded power, but I wasn't madd at thr time because the Green Ranger was my Ranger and in my friend group I was the "Tommy" 😆 - the charecter was also very well marketed, though the Green Ranger will forever be the best

[@gauravashokjain]

I love the green ranger- the gold shield the dragon dagger dragon dagger flute 2 tunes and the dragonzord

[@landshark9992]

Yeah, I felt bad for Jason. He was the original leader and a damn good one at that! It wasn't right to give leadership duties over to Tommy. He should've remained the wild card like he was as the Green Ranger

For those who don’t know that Kat was plan to come back to power rangers Dino thunder as Elsa but the actress who played her was pregnant at the time so she could not come back and why didn’t they wore those awesome shirts from abaranger
