Re: How could Antonio become a Ranger on his own?
 

Antonio was a spaz, who was way over rated. He was a moron and not deserving of being a Samurai Ranger. Ji and Jayden should have stuck to their guns and kicked him off the team before he had a chance to join. It made no sense that he was brought in. His first battle was just beginners luck. Its unbelievable that Ji would have let young Antonio keep the Octo Zord once he found out Jayden gave it to him.

Six Rangers just aren't as good as they used to be. They are usually just the wierd whacky guys of the group. And really don't come off as more special than a normal Ranger. There is no real great Sixth Rangers anymore. They are all generic and don't really stand out. The last great Sixth was Eric.

Re: How could Antonio become a Ranger on his own?
 

I completely disagree to a point.

Nina Storm = Cam was the genius of the group and he was so smart that he created a virtual replicant to help with his duties at Ninja Ops while he was busy being a Ranger. Also keep in mind that his Dad had banned him from becoming a ninja due to the promise he had made to his previous wife which was obviously hurting Cam emotionally.

Dino Thunder = Trent was a good friend to the team but when he was bonded to the gem the gem's evil energies had corrupted it and had forced control on himself and it took a bit for someone to trust him again once the gem's evil control was neutralized.

S.P.D. = Cruger was an emotionally battered police Commander who was still dealing with what he had thought was the death of his wife.
I will agree that Omega was a pathetic 6th Ranger though.

Mystic Force = Daggeron. He was one of the warriors that had fought in the Ancient Battle and had discovered that a good friend of theirs; Calindor had betrayed them so he fought him until their energies collided and they were cursed and of course because of the curse he was cursed to become a frog until Maddie had kissed him to break the curse. Daggeron then took over as a Mentor figure.

Overdrive, Jungle Fury, RPM, Samurai and Megaforce = I do remember with Tyzonn, Dominic, Gem and Gemma and Antonio not being the best. Robo Knight was okay but Orion wasn't that good.

Ivan was good for a 6th Ranger in Dino Charge.

Re: How could Antonio become a Ranger on his own?
 

I don't entirely agree with you there.

Ninja Storm = Tori she was the smartest of the Wind Rangers but that's not really saying much when you compare her to Dustin and Shane.

Dino Thunder = Ethan was a genius who didn't care originally about the consequences of his inventious acts and yes I know inventious isn't a word.

S.P.D. = Sky was a Ranger who had looked up to his Dad (a previous S.P.D. Red Ranger) who had been hurting emotionally because of Cruger's decision to not give him the Red Ranger powers because he felt only he was worthy enough to be a Red Ranger and was too cocky about it but eventually accepted the decision over time and soon became the Red Ranger and then the Earth Commander.

Mystic Force = Madison enjoyed shooting things with her camera mostly of her friends because it was what she had enjoyed doing.

Overdrive = Dax. Now he wasn't a good Blue Ranger.
Jungle Fury = Definitely not a good Blue Ranger.
RPM = Flynn he was a Ranger who was willing to risk his life to get people inside Corinth and he also co-created a zord.
Samurai = Kevin wasn't a good Blue Ranger one of the reasons is because he was rather annoying.
Megaforce = Noah was a genius but other than that not much else. He created the Cannon in Super Megaforce but otherwise he did nothing that was real impressive.
Dino Charge = Koda. He has real character because of being a caveman and because he's been struggling with the current times which makes him a good Blue Ranger.

Re: How could Antonio become a Ranger on his own?
 

Trent's storyline started out good. But they droped the evil Ranger gimmick too quickly. They didn't let the Evil Ranger storyline play out long enough. And Trent didnt have much to do afterwards. The drama of him keeping Anton's secret also had a bad payoff. Nothing happened, just an excuse for a clip show.

Re: How could Antonio become a Ranger on his own?
 

I agree with Matt that not all the recent Sixth Rangers have been bad. But they do seem rather lacking at times these days.

Re: How could Antonio become a Ranger on his own?
 

The Octozord gave him the power to be a Ranger.

Re: How could Antonio become a Ranger on his own?
 

Six Rangers will never live up to Tommy. Thats why most of them fell bleh.

Re: How could Antonio become a Ranger on his own?
 

the writers had no control over the evil Ranger thing since it was a Disney mandate that they didn't want a Ranger to remain evil.

Re: How could Antonio become a Ranger on his own?
 

And that just shows why just about all the disney seasons sucked. Not that the new Saban seasons have been much better.
