Okay, Power Rangers fans, let's talk Dino Charge. Specifically, let's talk about Kendall Morgan.
Kendall as the Purple Ranger: An Unpopular Opinion?
I'm going to say it. I always thought Kendall should've stayed the brains of the operation. There, I said it! Fight me. (Just kidding... mostly.)
Don't get me wrong. I love a good Ranger transformation. But sometimes, you just have a character who *shines* in their support role. And for me, that was Kendall.
Let's be real. She was basically the Q of the Dino Charge team. The gadget guru. The problem solver. Always one step ahead. The unsung hero!
The Scientist's Strength
Seeing her behind the lab equipment was just... satisfying. She had this cool, calm demeanor. Even when everything was going haywire. Total #ScienceGoals.
Did we *really* need another Ranger in the field? I mean, the Dino Charge team was already pretty stacked. Maybe it was just me, but I liked the balance.
Plus, think about it! Kendall staying as the coordinator added a layer of strategy. She could analyze the situation. Give the Rangers real-time intel. Things a Ranger can't do mid-battle.
Purple Power: Necessary?
Look, the Purple Ranger suit looked great on her. No denying that! Purple is an awesome color. And Kendall totally rocked it.
But I couldn't shake the feeling that it was a bit... forced? Like, "Oh, we need to give her something more to do." But she already had so much to do!
Was it really about giving her more screen time, or about changing her role entirely? That's my question.
My Ideal Scenario
Imagine this: Kendall develops a super-powered exosuit. She's still calling the shots from the base. But now she can *also* jump into the fray if needed.
Think Iron Man, but with more dinosaurs! Okay, maybe not *exactly* Iron Man. But you get the idea. She maintains her unique skillset. Plus gets to kick some butt!
It's just... I valued her intelligence and tactical thinking more than her physical strength. Plus having her in the base allowed for some funny reaction shots. Who is going to roll their eyes at the team doing something stupid now?
The Legacy of the Lab Coat
So, yeah. I'm standing by my opinion. Kendall Morgan, the super-smart scientist, was perfect just the way she was.
Maybe it's just that I'm a sucker for the brains behind the operation. The ones who don't need to morph to be powerful. And, yes, I will die on this hill.
Am I alone in this? Let me know what you think! Maybe I'm completely off my rocker. Maybe you agree. Either way, let's discuss in the comments!
In conclusion, while the Purple Ranger was a cool addition, I will always prefer Kendall Morgan the brilliant scientist, innovator and brains of the Dino Charge team.
