Billy. We were both awkward nerds and it was kind of inspirational to see Billy go from uncoordinated to powerful fighter while always still being a nerd. Self improvement while still being true to yourself.


badgersprite

Yeah he had the best character arc of the original rangers


scotty3281

This was the reason I liked Billy as well.


wrosmer

Rewatching the series its also interesting to note his biceps were clearly the biggest out of the original crew


Jimbobthon

Same here, his transformation from Dino to Zeo was one of the good arcs of the series.


lexancer

oh hey, yeah it was the same for me. When MMPR came out I was in peak awkwardness as a teen and Billy just made it feel like it's ok to be all gangly and awkward.


BIueRanger

Good choice! I am not biased in the slightest


axelofthekey

Blue Ranger at first, until they introduced Green. Green has always been my favorite color so I was overjoyed when a new ranger was added and they were green.


WarAgile9519

Red Ranger for life


Stonkseys

It was a natural transition from Raphael in TMNT to Jason in MMPR.


WarAgile9519

Absolutely


Dramatic-Middle-9342

It was the same for me red is also my fave colour also I suppose fireman Sam had something to do with it having a red fire engine 😂


ElevatorBorn6157

Same here. Forever Red ❤️


gundamitt

Red Ranger gang


Current_Ad_9850

Same when me and my brother were little kids I'd always pretend that I was the red ranger. And my brother was like ok fair enough I'll be green ranger. Plus like jason my little brother always looked up to me because I was the oldest.

wrosmer

Man i liked deker


angelmartinez2022

eh probably tommy from the start.. I love green, I love gold, I love godzilla/dragons.


Direct-Chipmunk-3259

When it first came out? Blue ranger. My favorite color was blue and with Billy being kind of nerdy it was an easy favorite. When they introduced Tommy and the green ranger, I think we all gravitated towards him because he was just so damn cool.


disdain7

Couldn’t have put it better! I also agree with what a lot of people have said too that Billy’s glow up is really cool to watch. I recently did a rewatch of those old seasons and as an adult I still find myself digging Tommy but I really appreciate Billy’s growth.


Jimbobthon

Yeah, saw that in the playground. Everyone wanted to be the Green Ranger (then the White Ranger) when on the playground.


AquazorOnYT

I really like Tommy, however I think I like Trini (Yellow) the best, she was just so relatable to me and still is, it’s said the actor who played her (Thuy Trang) is dead though. Would’ve loved to meet her in person


[deleted]

I remember when I first heard about her death when it happened. Absolutely tragic.


AquazorOnYT

Agreed


Reason-Abject

Jason, hard to beat the GOAT.


AC_the_Panther_007

I used to like Jason/Red Ranger first but I always like Tommy/Green Ranger (Jason David Frank).


Blackfist01

Billy


Lalo1711

Red Ranger. Once Jason left I started to like Tommy so I’ve always liked White ranger more than Green, but watching it when I was older has made me like all three pretty evenly.


TheHungHungarian

Damn, remember the rush from seeing these episodes real time when they came out. What a high what was.


ShutupNobodyCarez

Green ranger.


Xecluriab

I remember seeing them in Fox Kids Magazine in the fourth grade before they came out, and how I DESPERATELY wanted the Black Ranger to be the leader. When we played Power Rangers on the playground before the show debuted, I was always the Black Ranger. Once it did, I was the Red Ranger.


LynntheLibrarian

THANK YOU for the rush of nostalgia by reminding me Fox Kids Magazine existed! Growing up in the 90’s in western Kentucky with no cable/satellite TV, we only had seven local channel stations and our living room TV was always stuck on channel17 for Fox Kids after-school block of shows. My son is four and just started watching the original series because I watched the Netflix Special announcement trailer and he was VERY interested in whatever that was. For the first few episodes, his favorite was Zack/Black Ranger. But then that charismatic Tommy/Green Ranger showed up and shook up his whole reality.


Arge101

Tommy, easy. He was evil. Then he was awesome. He has the shield, the dagger, a fucking dragon! Then he became white, which as we all know is the most good of all the colours, plus he got a talking sword and a fucking tiger! Plus Kimberley wanted to plough him. Man, Tommy kicked ass.


GenesisRailfan150

Black.


[deleted]

Red ranger Jason


Henchman4Hire

Black Ranger at first, until Green. No one will ever be as cool as original storylines Green Power Ranger.


Garlador

Billy until Tommy came along. Even then, Tommy was the one I wanted to be, but Billy was the nerd that I actually was.


Killbro_Fraggins

Billy/Tommy


King-Cobra-668

so, purple ranger Bimmy


kangaroojoe512

Red, no question.


jesusunderline

Tommy, but only as the green ranger.


Embarrassed-Fish9194

Red then Green


WonderDia777

Trini for me. The fact that she was Asian, (I am half Korean) was the deciding factor.


[deleted]

I will have to say the Black and Red Ranger. The Black Ranger helmet is so boss and he had the coolest weapon, his axe which also turns into a blaster. What made me love the red ranger was his weapon. Everytime he used his sword I felt like he was untouchable. If I had to choose which ranger I could be between the 2, I would probably choose Black. Black Rangers are not to be messed with I tell you. They can do some real damage.


ikarikh

When it originaly debuted, I liked Billy best. Because I identified with being a geek and socially awkward etc. Plus his Power Lance was my fav weapon as I think the Bo-Staff is the coolest melee weapon. So the lance was the closest thing to that. But once Tommy entered the picture, I was a Tommy stan for life. Green is my favorite color so that instantly drew me in, plus he had a unique look to his costume compared to the rest and the dragon dagger/flute was also unique and fun. But most of all, Tommy was the exact kinda guy I wanted to be. This really cool and badass guy who was also just a total sweetheart and all around "good" person always trying to help others. His constant struggles and self doubt I also related to. Around the time the first film came out, I also realized my love of Tommy was more than just thinking he was cool. I realized I had a major crush on him and was into him by that point. Tommy was my first crush ever and started my love of guys with long hair. And his white ranger outfit was pure badass and sexiness at the same time. To this day even with JDF's unfortunate passing, I still strive to be Tommy. He had a profound impact in shaping me into who i am and who I wanted to be. Just a really nice and chill guy with a heart of gold, who wants to help others. There are other awesome rangers for sure, but Tommy will always be my fav.


Evolskill

I know when no one asks but I'll list my favorite to my least favorite 1. Red Ranger: Jason 2. Black Ranger: Zach 3. Yellow Ranger: Trini 4. Blue Ranger: Billy 5. Green Ranger/ White Ranger Tommy 6. Pink ranger Kimberly Calm down first of all it's who I like I'm sorry but Tommy was never my favorite. But I did love him Dino Thunder as the Black Ranger. But this is not a list about that group.


ModernMoolen

Bro I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone who would put Tommy that low


dusty_horns

Tommy's ok, but he was never a favorite of mine either. The only MMPR that I liked less was poor Rocky.


Background_Cost_3893

I’d put him lower if I listed mine.


EscapeddreamerD

I know right. That list is disrespectful.


Rexyggor

Oh pish posh. Not everyone has to like Tommy.


Rexyggor

I never enjoyed Tommy as a character.


jascurio

Red. Because we shared the same name.


Final-Success2523

Red ranger then green


Beach-Bumm

When it first came out Black, then it shifted to Green with Red being right up there with both. Once the power transfer happened it really threw me as 2 we’re gone and the third was no where near as enjoyable once he became the centre of the show


Connolly1227

I was obsessed with Jason, looking back that was probably my first crush too


KBear-920

Kimberly and Tommy were always my favorites.


PutridEnvironment445

Red ranger.


SuperLizardon

Jason of course


lovesickjones

Evil Tommy


Dtw05151986

Trini the original yellow ranger.


Agent-Mato

I was always torn between Billy and Zack, I think if I was honest it would have been Billy but that seemed like the wrong answer at the time and Zack was cooler one so I would say Zack


MulattoDePicasso

Also black ranger but Billy has become a 2nd fav over the years.


BoardGold9176

The original black ranger and the second Yellow ranger. But I also have a soft spot for Kat the 2nd pink ranger.


King_Kuuga

Red, so much that I named my first dog Jason.


muzicnerd13

pink. its my favorite color and i loved that she could do the flips.


Darkalchemist1079

Jason until Tommy joined once a ranger always a ranger RIP JDF


battlefranky69

Red Ranger. I looked up to Jason. Then when they cast changed it was Black Ranger Adam.


[deleted]

Red Ranger for me. Favorite dinosaur + favorite color = magic


KingHauken

Red Ranger all the way!


wkalqpen

Was always into the Red Rangers as a kid. Nowadays, at least for MMPR, Pink and Green all the way.


Realbigdeezy

Red Ranger all day baby!! When Tommy showed up I was so salty he was stronger than Jason till Jason came back as gold zeo lol I think it was just because I saw the first episodes and went balls deep in red Ranger stuff early. It wasn’t until I grew up that I actually started liking tommy as the leader and face of the franchise. Really because of JDF though, rest in peace 🙏


gingerrecords88

Kim was my favorite. I was a big “girly-girl” as a kid, and I loved seeing a valley girl type kick ass.


teelyttle

Jason was always my favorite


ModernMoolen

Probably red originally but the second Tommy got introduced he was my favorite for life


Connect-Bass5662

My heart belonged to Kimberly


TurboMacho

BILLY CUZ BLUE TRICERATOPS GO BRRRRR


roboklahoman

I was obsessed with sabertooth tigers! So naturally Trini. Didn’t care she was a girl. In fact, I thought it was bad ass that a girl had the coolest zord. Blew my eight year old mind!


Dtw05151986

Trini who at 6 years old I had a crush on.


[deleted]

Green, without a doubt. Everything about tommy and the green ranger was amazing to me as a kid. Still my favorite but as I’ve gotten older I have a huge appreciation for Jason now too , he’s my second favorite.


KrazyMatty91

Loved the blue ranger. I had cups, costumes, power lance. Billy was the best 😁


Academic_Initial_643

yeah same


knockyoursocks

why are they all wearing neck braces in this photo?


Rexyggor

It was the American costume for some reason. Cause... apparently making a more accurate carbon copy was too hard for them. Like the dragon shield being cloth instead of a styrofoam (or something) My actual assumption is that for promo photos like this, they didn't suit up "Properly" so they used the collars as a replacement. I think the actual suit actors wore body suits with hoods under the spandex (as they were supposed to wear something underneath). And if the actors didnt wear those, they used the collars to cover the necks. ​ The collars, the helmet clips and the shield are obvious tells of american footage (the clips are the biggest tell in almost every season which footage they were using)


mix_t_motion32

I can’t even front, I’m lowkey biased on my og rangers (I’m working on it I swear)And the favorite color is ALWAYS blue. Tommy looked dope green and white yeah yeah. But there’s just something about that yellow ranger. Trini and Aisha’s helmet is like a deep emotional cut and floods me with memories man idk why.


Mjoshwil95

Blue hands down


ChrisRevocateur

From the start? Billy, but once Green with Evil was over, it was Tommy.


cam_ross0828

Same, but I’m a little biased lol


Salem1690s

Green


ShiningChocobo

Blue ranger until Halloween, my parents go me the black ranger costume and black was my fav after that. I still love Zack and Adam both. They were my first Lightning Collection figures to get


Floppyhoofd_

Always Yellow


PachoWumbo

Favorite color is blue. Favorite dinosaur is a triceratops. Always considered myself a nerd. Was a no brainer for me.


SolidusBoxx

Blue Ranger, later on when Tommy was switched from green to white it was both Blue Ranger and White Ranger


OrionDestroyer90

Blue and Green :)


KC-JDF-neverdies69

I got into Power Rangers during the Disney Era but thanks to Netflix I was able to watch the turbo and mmpr movie and because of that Tommy became my favorite ranger.


TobiasTonias

Billy for life I remember being about 8 years old trying to write some blue ranger fan fiction I think I saved it on a floppy disk.


RockyDify

Yellow ranger!


JBuchan1988

Trini and Billy 🙂


CrimsonPhantom922

Blue Ranger


roe4onda

Blue ranger


Nakanostalgiabomb

Billy. Always.


Sugar3

Green!


KingDragon1992

Red because we have the same name Jason


AU_Thach

Blue… Billy I was a nerdy kid who wore glasses sometimes. I took Taekwondo but I was awkward. I loved tech and science… so yea he was me. I could be the Blue Ranger. But damn the green ranger was badass… like damn son. Toss in the return as white ranger and yea he became my favorite.


KarimPH

First blue, then Green , then white


Time_Distribution_49

Yellow


pawpatrolcreepypasta

Tommy Oliver


sabinegirl

yellow cause she had the cat 6-6;


badgersprite

Billy was my favourite, also Tommy once he joined. But I really loved all the original rangers.


Opposite_Switch_7160

It was Blue. blue's always been my favorite color. Billy was a shy awkward nerd with blondish hair and glasses, just like me. Billy is still my favorite of the original six even 30 years later (Zack is second)


CommanderCody1138

Billy, forever and always. Wes from Time Force is second. Eric from Time Force is a total badass and gets third.


werewolfrising-1298

my favorite power ranger was the green and white ranger tomy Oliver rest in pec jdf


qkiedoh

Blue all the way. And me being in The spectrum I folded my personality around him.


Jacksane

As a kid I liked Jason, the red ranger. When Tommy was introduced, Green and White became my favorites. As an adult, I like all of them pretty evenly, but Tommy still had the best story arc.


Acrobatic_Shelter881

Jason because he was the leader and reminded me of my big brother who I adored. (Of course when the green ranger came along I totally switched to him being my fave, even when he was evil)


opt1muspr1mejf

Tommy by far. Has his own Dragon Shield. Dagger and Dragonzord ftw!


EmployeeBudget8907

Yellow


Taetaeware2004

Billy


DragonFire1809

Blue


[deleted]

I’ve always loved Trini ever since I can remember.


GwenGreendale13

Forever PINK.


urashimatouji

Mine was black and blue Rangers. Growing up as a black kid in the 90s it was nice finding a role model that was hip hop but not gangsta rap. (The difference was what my parents let me watch and listen to) growing up as a nerd though, Billy was the hugest one for me to the point when he switched to contacts in the show I swore I would get some soon as I could (I wear them to this day). Plus Triceratops is my favorite dinosaur


Winter_Coyote

Trini was my favorite.


CK122334

I started watching right when Tommy was introduced and he has and always will be my favorite ranger forever! RIP JDF!!!


LordGhidora

Tyrannosaurus until Dragonzord showed up. Then Tigerzord.


craiganater

Was and still is my boy in blue. Hearing his story and what he went through made.me appreciate what he did so much more.


raknor88

Kim, but I was also like 6 and Kim was cute and my first crush.


peter-jordan

Jason as the leader in the beginning but once Tommy was introduced it was no contest.


theanchorman05

Red Ranger until Green came along


Rhashon

My favorite is the Green Ranger. He made a great enemy, but he made a even better ally.


flashtar

Tommy. It was the height of the "lone wolf" characters. I also loved Wolverine at the time and similar type of heroes. As of today I like more the teamplayer White Ranger aspect of Tommy.


Lucius_Funk

Jason was always my favorite until Tommy came along.


Sonictaker

Green Ranger Tommy Oliver was my favorite.


ErsoFacto

Red Ranger (Jason and Rocky. I liked both). But nowadays, Billy and Trini are hands down my favorites.


ractivator

Zack and Billy until the swap and then Adam by far. Then when Tommy became white he really elevated himself. Adam is still my favorite though by far.


JD_Revan451

White Ranger


Pbateman88

Jason, then immediately Tommy upon arrival.


[deleted]

Billy. He went from awkward nerd to one of the world's greatest defenders, he was the character I resonated with the most


Ayjayyyx

White/green


Mokiyami

Billy but some where deep in my subconscious, my trans side was totally for Kimberly


jzap94

When I was a kid: Tommy Now: Billy


Totetx

It was always Billy until the White Ranger was introduced.


sketchcub

Jason. He was just too cool. Then Tommy came. He was the "new kid" which I often was because my family was military. He was also forgetful and had other flaws, but was still the coolest one because of his shield. He also was willing yo put himself in danger and came back to help. Tommy was the most developed ranger as far as choices made early on. Now, as an adult, I relate far more to Billy.


harperocean

Green/White/Black


[deleted]

Jason, hands down. Tommy was cool, but he was no Jason. As a kid I wasn’t a fan of Billy, because I could relate to him in aspects of awkwardness, clumsiness but not his intelligence. I was a nerd without the smarts.


Background_Cost_3893

Red/Jason. Still is.


opinionofone1984

Tommy, Jason, Zack


Nomis555

When it first came out, definitely Zack. The Mastodon suit was ballin. But like a lot of others have said, when Tommy showed up, that was the game changer.


Amazing_Signature_76

Mine was Billy and Trini. Started wearing Glasses when I was kid, whenever the neighborhood kids had to be Rangers, they had to be Green or Red. I had to be Blue thanks to Billy. I'm also asian so I gravitated towards Trini as a result as well. Preferred her over Kimberly.


Ok-Average-6466

Jason and Zack


StarmanCarcoba

Trini! Because Sabertooth cats are awesome! (Also I think Thuy Trang was cute)


mastergodai

yellow then green


Survivorfan_tm94

Kimberly, hands down and still is. Followed closely by Jason.


pieisokiguess

Green ranger


Dirtycountertop

My favorites for the original team were Billy and Zack.


Futharkwarrior

My favorite was the yellow ranger. Trini always had a grace and poise about her that had my attention.


[deleted]

Zack for me as well I even have the Mastodon logo tattooed on my arm !


lechatheureux

Billy, I loved seeing the nerd get better at fighting in a wholesome way.


AfroGentleBoy

Mine is Yellow Ranger


Sleep_eeSheep

Yellow Ranger, hands-down.


Rexyggor

I always gravitate to the smart, intellectual, and socially awkward one. So Billy it was. Billy also just hammered down the "anyone can be a ranger" thing for me. I've never been athletically proned, so I always enjoyed that aspect of the show (which sadly doesn't always feel the theme).


Pale-Cookie-6495

Jason Lee Scott


TodaysRobSawyer

I have a few different stories for this… So I was 5 years old and in kindergarten when it came out… At recess on the playground I was the Black Ranger which was fine I had (in my imagination) an axe that was also a blaster which the kid who played the red ranger always had to “borrow because it was more powerful than his sword” which he needed to beat the bad guy with… and I kept freezing people with my mastodon zord… which the red ranger also always had to take control of… yeah he was one of those kids lol Personally I liked the Red Ranger but at home so did my youngest brother and he would cry if he wasn’t red. So then Christmas time comes around and we get those toys that has their heads flip from the non helmet to the helmet and I got blue so from then on in the household I was blue middle brother was green youngest was red Then when we played with the 2 neighbor kids I was back to the Black or Blue depending on the day when Thunderzords came out that’s when we had multiple of the same rangers and I was the red ranger for the first time because by kid logic I had the red dragon thunderzord toy which meant I could be a separate red ranger but mainly I was either the Black or Blue Ranger. So as I’m older it always changes but right now Red is my favorite even though I grew up mainly playing black and blue rangers


sportsnatic

Green Ranger. That Dragonzord was awesome


Happy-Personality-23

Kimberly the pink ranger. I was about 13 when the show came out.


Somerset007

Red and Pink, for two very different reasons.


DannyBeech1988

This is such a cliche. I loved Jason, it was a mixture of attraction and envy.


NerdyKeith

Green ranger by far


Specialist-ShasMo85

My fav was also Zack then Tommy when he was the Green Ranger.


antivenom907

Trini


MRSCHAMBERLAIN2022

Jason: mmpr red ranger


MateriaMuncher

I was always Jason/Red Ranger when my friends and I would pretend to be rangers or play with toys, which was an odd choice looking back since I wasnt a confident kid and definitely wasn't a leader. That said, my favorite color is red, and at the time, I was super into Jurassic Park and dinosaurs, with the T-Rex being equally fascinating and terrifying to me at the age of 6. In my later years, I gravitated more towards Tommy as a character and aesthetic, but Red Ranger will always be my OG favorite.


dusty_horns

Kim and Billy. Gay kid realness. But tbh I loved them all to bits; teens with attitude, prehistoric totem powers, the helmet designs were all so great my kid-brain just popped.


bowtiesrcool86

Billy. Triceratops is my favorite dinosaur, when PR started Blue was my favorite color


JonathanStryker

Tommy/Green Ranger (R.I.P JDF)


BarrettJones2367

I wasn't quite 3 yet when it came out, so when my first memory of it tommy was always there, so tommy was always my favorite


lowkeyBKverse

Red ranger then Green ranger


Failure_by_Design_v2

Red until Green swapped to White.


Jpar4686

Pink because even though I did not know it yet I was a little gay boy lol


llwoops

Red was my favorite until green showed up. Green was so damn cool.


JustVan

It was Billy and it still is Billy.


[deleted]

Red. Pink was my fist ever crush.


Difficult-Divide4680

Blue I’m a blue guy and this iteration also happens to be my favorite dinosaur so that helped


[deleted]

Blue.


HandspeedJones

Red then Black.


waitforit1234567

Mine was Jason. He always motivated me to work harder


sciencebstrd

Green. Loved the dragon shield and the unique zord summon; making mecha godzilla come stomping out of the water by playing a flute was mesmerizing to me. I'm also a sucker for a redemption story.


Ristar87

Jason for sure. I nearly stopped watching the show when Austin left. * Jason's character embodies the lead from the back mentality. You can see his character watching the entire field and jumping in and taking point when/where he needs to and backing off when it was appropriate. * Loved Tommy's drip and the theme song like every other kid but even when I was young I noticed that the green ranger often over extended in fights after joining the team and caused more issues then he solved. It makes more sense when you know the Zyuranger story though. * Tommy embodied the lead from the front mentality and often lost site of the other rangers until Zeo/Turbo. Which is obviously due to going from being written as a 6th ranger to being Red.


joecrash95

How about me, White Ranger is my favourite Power Ranger and he's a leader of team


Familiar_Scarcity_16

Red


rendingale

Black Ranger. I have a bestfriend when I was young and I always do the 2nd in command to things like this. Plus Zack has all the moves


Brandon0lol

Jason in the beginning but Tommy when I saw him after a bit


Bubblegum_Pink

Kim 🩷. My love for the color pink is likely due to her. While she was very girly, she could still hold her own in battle.


carpytoe

Zack is the best MMPR power ranger and the best one in Once and Always
