While I don't question the subtle aspects of making the "black ranger" the "blue ranger", what exactly would your alternatives be?
Black Yellow Ranger like Aisha? She had zero personality but at least she looked good.I can hear the bedwench and/or stereotypical loudmouth chick complaints already, while upset there's no black male representation.
Black Black Ranger like Zack? c00n that's dancing and hasn't evolved and a sidekick train coming right up.
Black Red Ranger? The Jason being black backlash from fanboys would take away from shyt and really just piss me off to be honest. It'd be a good look but the bytching would just be annoying, outside of whatever the movie is like.
Black Blue Ranger? Like Billy in the original, made the communicators, the Rad-Bug, brain/rationale of the team who was really only a nerd for Bulk and Skull and had to be on some Clark Kent shyt to not rise suspicion. In retrospect, he was the most relied upon and stable. All that ruined because the real-life person was gay.
Black Green Ranger - I actually really like that idea. Wish they'd do it, the Jason being black argument withstanding. I agree it'd be nice to see an alpha presentation versus settling/rationalizing for brains. Although I'm sure someone will complain he had to be put under some spell and weak or some shyt.
Talking about it realistically, no shyt, no one as a child wanted to be Billy. It's Tommy, Jason or Zack, or bust - that's not lost on me. As an adult, having a black character potentially serve as the brains of the team is a better representation than having the record skip and scratch whenever he walks on the screen or throws a punch. He's not a leader like Leonardo or an alpha like Raphael, but I'll take a black Donatello in this climate and not feel any extra ways about it. Billy's the nerd, it shows Billy being a nerd in the trailer. Whether or not that persists for the entire movie is still open. I'm not saying there aren't insidious reasons behind it, but consider the alternatives. For all we know, he's the meek nerd to begin and becomes an alpha once he gets his powers. This trailer, in real time, literally covers what the show did in the first episode. There's plenty more to come of it.
Man get the ENTIRE fukk outta here with this drivel.
Zack wasn't a c00n because he liked to dance. The brother was headstrong, determined, and had a BLACK girlfriend on the show. He wasn't tap dancing for Cacs. Billy had ZERO swag. Got ZERO girls. And was the meekest of the bunch. They had entire episodes dedicated to this dude being two steps away from pathetic and everyone had to help boost his confidence. fukk that. We already got that in Star Wars: The Finn Sleeps. If you compare the trailer to Finn's representation it's almost the EXACT same character except it looks like they threw this black Billy a pity win against one of the bullies (Finn got ZERO wins the entire movie). shyt is fukking ridiculous. Even they wanted to make him the "brains" of the group there are much better wars of doing it then turning this nikka into Steve fukking Urkel
why is Jason kissing tommy's bytch?
