Why did Rocky get demoted to Blue? - Page 2

I don't think Rocky was supposed to have any kind of a rank. He became Zeo Blue because that was the shard he bonded with. It wasn't a demotion. Tommy was the leader by the time Rocky joined.

The only rank is the leadership position. And even that was unofficial sometimes.

Why is being made blue demoting anyone?

Well Blue does clearly rank less than Red in SPD.

Rocky was never second in Command. He inherited Jason's powers, not his place in the command hierarchy. Rocky was never meant to have any real power over the rest of the team. He was just a good soldier like the rest of the team under Tommy. It was ridiculous that Jason was demoted. But thats another matter.

I think its because Red is usually so important. When a character changes to blue or another color after being red, it feels like a demotion.

I don't think he was a strong enough character to be leader. Zordon probably thought he was a better fit for Blue. Tommy was perfect for Red since he was already the leader.

The new Rangers were never going to be given leadership positions right away. Rocky was just best suited to taken over Jason's powers. And probably felt pressure to fill Jason's shoes. Once he heard more about the former's role. Which is part of why he was so insecure when. Jason came back. Rocky could be an insure guy at times. Which is one of the reasons why he was never leadership material. But in any case, Tommy was always the leader when Rocky was around.

I always liked Jason better. Not that Rocky was bad, but he wasn't a good leader.

Rocky really wasn't even a good character. He had no real personality of his own. And was just there to be the generic Red Ranger. He comes off even more poorly following Jason. His lack of personality is why he was glorified comic relief in Zeo. Which is the only way they could make him work.
