First of all, the show has debuted and I swear it's what is saving the Power Rangers franchise. Good acting, funny plots, Koda's hilarious, and the Green Ranger didn't appear until the second episode and I didn't notice. I would just see preview clips on YouTube that said 'First scene Kendall Tyler Kelsey Chase Koda' or something and I saw five names and thought 'Oh the five Rangers yeah.' Then I found out RILEY was the Green Ranger.
There's an update on the Power Ranger team. Look!
Dino Charge Red Ranger Tyler Navarro
Dino Charge Black Ranger Chase Randall
Dino Charge Blue Ranger Koda
Dino Charge Green Ranger Riley Griffin
Dino Charge Pink Ranger Shelby Watkins
Dino Charge Gold Ranger Ivan
Dino Charge Aqua Ranger ???
Dino Charge Graphite Ranger Prince Phillip
Dino Charge Purple Ranger ??? ► Kendall Morgan ??? ► Claire Blackwelder
Dino Charge Silver Ranger ???
Dino Charge Talon Ranger ???
Notice something different~?
MATT is not a Ranger. Prince Phillip is. Apparently "Prince Phillip is an admirer of the Dino Charge Rangers and aspires to be like them. He then goes on his own quest to find the Graphite Energem and eventually becomes the Dino Charge Graphite Ranger of the Dino Charge Rangers" according to the Wiki Page about him. There's a trivia statement that says: "Originally, Matt Griffin was slated to be the Graphite Ranger as per casting scripts. However, the toys revealed the change in the character's profile."
(Ignore the text)
My only question is....WHY?!
I was looking forward to MATT GRIFFIN being the one who found the Energem.
What do you guys think?
