Why did Scorpina leave?

It was never explained why she left after Zedd showed up. And then she showed up for one random episode, only to disappear for good.

Re: Why did Scorpina leave?

It had to do with not having the original suit for use in the American Scenes.

Re: Why did Scorpina leave?

yea the suit was already seen in original footage

Re: Why did Scorpina leave?

The writers probably ran out of ideas. She wasn't a very good character and only existed because of this Sentai footage.

They should have made Goldar and Scorpina the main villains in season 2.

They were too cheap to make a new one.

I would have brought Scorpina back in season 4.

Maybe she could have become a Ranger like Karone.

Re: Why did Scorpina leave?

Scorpina didn't have any redeemable qualities. Astronema had her moments before turning good.

Re: Why did Scorpina leave?

I think she could have felt bad for what she did to Adam and switch sides. I thought she and Adam made a good couple until the ruse was discovered. I could see Scorpina realizing she was really in love with Adam. Who wouldn't be?

Re: Why did Scorpina leave?

If Disney was in charge they would have kept Scorpina and made their own suit.

I do wish they have a better reason to write her off.

they did have one they just didn't want to use her for whatever reason and by the time they decided to bring her back they had hired Sabrina for the role but she only did the 1 ep and was too busy to do more they did have plans for Scorpina but the movie's production issues scrapped them.

Re: Why did Scorpina leave?

It was probably a cheap suit that they didn't want to fix.

nope since they had to make a new one for Sabrina Lu the one they would've received would've been either the hero one that Ami wore or the stunt one.

I wish she would have stuck around.

Re: Why did Scorpina leave?

I thought it was wierd how she disappeared for no reason twice. They didn't even have the Rangers defeat her in her season 2 appearance. But I guess behind the scenes reasons explain all this.

Re: Why did Scorpina leave?

I would have liked to have seen them use the season 2 suit more than one time.

Re: Why did Scorpina leave?

Maybe the suit turned out to be hard to film with?

Jen's Revenge

Re: Why did Scorpina leave?

I think she was overrated. And was an odd fit in season 1 . Since they never explained who she was and why she wasn't trapped with Rita like the others.

no it was because they didn't have a suitable actress for her in fact here's a message I posted that's dated for 2012 which hopefully accurately details what happened

Here's the link which appears to be perfectly safe since Norton Anti-Virus doesn't see anything wrong with it.

I found the link by googling Sabrina Lu, the actress that played the in-suit Scorpina in Season 2's "Goldar's Vice Versa."

Apparently Wendee told the fan that the studio wanted more Scorpina and after her Zyuranger footage ran out, they tried tracking down Ami (the Zyuranger actress) but they weren't able to so eventually they had to handle with a replacement and that would be Sabrina Lu.

I don't know how truthful this is but it is an interesting story and I thought I would share it. I would assume it's truthful since it's something Wendee apparently stated.

Re: Why did Scorpina leave?

That is an interesting story. I wish they would have kept going with the new actor and new suit.

This is unacceptable! If I had the power I had now ,the person that made that decision would have been fired!

Re: Why did Scorpina leave?

It is a shame they couldn't keep the second actor around. There was a lot more they could have done with Scorpina. She could have had an interesting rivalery with Aishia. Also it would have been interesting to see her clash with Adam again.

Red With Evil

Re: Why did Scorpina leave?

It would have been overkill to keep Scorpina around with so many new characters and events going on. She deserved a better write odd though. The Adam episode would have been perfect.

It's just onws of those things that slipped through the cracks. MMPR was a crazy time behind the scenes.

Zordon's Legacy Exposed

Re: Why did Scorpina leave?

Lord Zedd banished Scorpina in the past. Thats why she wasn't with Rita when she got sealed in the dumpster. Rita was able to call her back during GWE. But she knew Zedd could kill her once he returned, so she left. Somehow Goldar convinced Zedd to give Scorpina one more chance. Once she failed, she ran again. And this time Zedd wasn't going to spare her ( or just banish her).

you have no power so no you wouldn't have and such stuff was out of their control anyway

It is a shame , since Scorpina was fun and a huge part of season 1...

Re: Why did Scorpina leave?

I always thought it was weird she disappeared with no real explanation. I guess she is just one of those forgotten things.

Re: Why did Scorpina leave?

She was just a throwaway character anyway. She didn't do much besides help to defeat the megazord during then Green With Evil Eclipse battle . I didn't really miss her and was surprised them bothered with her in season 2.

She probably got taken out by Zordon's Wave anyway.

No they wouldn’t have, they spent money only to sacrifice what made the show great which were the fight scenes but they still used the same suits or looks if it suited them

Look at Kapri and Marah from Ninja Storm, they are both wearing the same exact wardrobe as their Sentai counterparts. Why? Simple so they could edit them around Japanese fight footage unfortunately their attempt to hide it was very noticeable

Hard to know but you are probably right
