Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

Would it have been more interesting if Merrick was actually a reformed Org...And not a former worrier under the power of the Zen-Aku curse?

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

So Zan-Aku starts of as a pure Org that somehow becomes a human Ranger?

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

I'm glad they followed the Sentai and did Marrick like GaoSilver.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

Actually, this idea would have been much more interesting. Plus it would have put an original spin on the adapted character.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

I don't think an Org could really have a heart.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

I've thought about this myself. That's what I thought they might be going for when I first heard about the Sentai. It would have been an interesting way to go. He could have been an Org cursed with a Soul or something. That would be why he was so different in this scenario.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

Would have been better than a brooding Merrick who acted like a cry baby. At least the series was decent though. Which is more than I can say for what has come after.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

I thought Merrick was too mean to the other Rangers. They just wanted to help him.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

I liked Merrick. He was an imperfect character with a guilty past. The op's idea does sound like an interesting alternative.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

Wouldn't it be a bit arrogant to have him have to become human to be good?

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

They already established that almost every Org was pure evil anyway.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

I think Merrick was fine like he was. I like that he didn't hog the spotlight like other Sixth's have done at times.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

I agree Orgs were evil. Merrick was never going to be a real Org.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

They should have kept Zen-Aku as his own entity after Merrick got free. I mean as a regular as opposed to only seeing him a few times like we did afterwards.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

The real Zen-Aku seemed to turn good in the end anyway....

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

They could have done the same thing with Tyzonn if they wanted too.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

I'd also shorten the Zen-Aku arch, it was way too long.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

Merrick and Shayla were just a carbon copy of Wes and Jen. So I wouldn't mind doing things differently.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

Jindrax and Toxica say hello.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

Sounds too wierd to me. I think they were better off doing what they did.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

He felt guilty for all the bad things he did. He also had to deal with living in a completeky new time.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

He was fighting a war not worried about hurting people's feelings.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

not at all. I thought it was a lot cooler with Merrick being under a curse that was a result of him wanting to help out his friends in the past.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

nothing was ever said that stated they had a heart they just didn't want to work for Master Org since he was a human so they were willing to go against him and without Master Org around they can't really do much.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

But he would have even more reason to want to atone for his past sins if he was a reformed Org?

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

true but what we got was a better story since he had no control over what he did since he was asleep for years so the curse became stronger on him over time.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

I think redeemed heroes are more interesting when their past actions were done under there own power.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

technically Zen-Aku was done under Merrick's own power it's no different than Rita casting a spell over Tommy or Kat.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

Right....But Zen-Aku doing all those evil acts without being under some spell or curse makes him a more flawed character. And gives him more reasons to feel guilty and have the need to redeem himself. He would be more like Karone and Ryan in this case.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

The last thing we needed was another fake redeemed Power Ranger. I am glad they went with the Merrick storyline. At least he didn't remember who he was. So he isn't realky evil like so called Rangers.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

Matt's right....Zen-Aku 's redemption was much better the way they did it with Merrick and the curse.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

They had to stick with the sentai storyline.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

I still can't think of a way of making Zen-Aku turn human.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

Animus curses Zen-Aku as a punishment for some evil act. As a result he has a soul or heart. Shortly after he was imprisioned and is later released during WF. Zen-Aku battles the Rangers but is conflicted because of his soul. He eventually becomes good and loses his Org powers. As a reward Animus saves him by making him human. Now renamed Merrico, he winds up becoming the Lunar Wolf Ranger.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

I would have rather them just come up with an original plot with a fully human Ranger. Zen-Aku was boring.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

Wild Force was pretty blah times.. Merrick's back story is one of the more interesting plots though.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

I just wish they made Wild Force its own thing like Galaxy was to its Sentai.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

Orgism at its finest.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

I think it was very interesting. Wild Force is one of the best American Sentai's for how it imports a lot of Gaoranger over. I can even forgive Cole being different and Master Org being original. Gotta love the Gorma suit anyway.

Re: Missed opertunity in Wild Force
 

But Taylor said Orgs don't have hearts? They are the embodiment of evil spirits. Zen-Aku going good would make him no longer an Org.
