Speaking of Twitter, how do people feel about Amelia being the red ranger?
I'm seeing a lot of discourse about how Zayto, who's played by a half-black half-Asian actor, got demoted and pushed out of focus like the previous black red rangers, and how the rest of the rangers, who are all POC, got pushed aside to make the one white girl in the cast red.
I get the argument, but it's not anything I'm upset over. Realistically, Aiyon should have been the leader since he came to the team challenging Zayto for the spot, but the rest of the season portrayed him like an idiot, so that wouldn't have worked. Izzy seemed like the character who had more leadership capabilities than Amelia, if they really wanted a female red.
