Now, I am only focusing on the heroes' portion of this article since the villains' portion is a bit too easy. In my opinion, I don't think that characters like Zhane (In Space) and Tyzonn (Operation Overdrive) deserved to be considered as the most-"hated" characters when we have so many other characters that are considered to be more hated than them *cough!!* (Leelee Pimvare) *cough!!* (Gosei) *cough!!*. For these two characters, it's either the production of the show was being limited to the amount of Sentai footage that was being given to them, or they didn't give the actors any real direction on how the characters should be presented on TV. For Troy's character in Megaforce or lack thereof, I'd say it's the fault of the former Neo-Saban era show-runner/executive producer, Jonathan Tzachor for being incompetent and for having the mindset of a two-year old despite him being in his 60's. Now, according to an interview with the former Power Rangers story-editor, James W. Bates, we were supposed to have a chosen one narrative arc for Troy's character and it would have explained why he was like that and his little "Super Saiyan" moment in "Vrak is Back, Part II" was supposed to be him harnessing all of the life energy from the Universal Morphing Grid just to knock some sense back into Robo Knight. But again, Mr. Tzachor said no to all of that because again he had the mindset of a two-year old and thought it was "too boring and it would get in the way of all the cool fight scenes." Which is B.S., if you'd ask me. So, I don't know if we are going to get see Troy's actor return to the show, but if he does, I think Hasbro and the newer show-runner, Simon Bennett can do better for his character. But, I wouldn't give my hopes up. And last but not least, Justin. *facepalm!!* What in God's name was Shuki Levy even thinking back in the 90's?! *sigh!* Let's just pray and hope that if Kyuuranger does get adapted into Power Rangers, they would actually do better at correcting the mistakes that were made in Power Rangers Turbo with Koutarou/Kouguma Sky Blue's US counterpart since he actually is a child-character in that particular Sentai series. But try not to make him annoying.
