Awesome!
sidebar: Is there a reason we’re assuming Green is the genderswap? I mean I know it probs isn’t Red but the only one that looks like it needs to be male is Black.

^ Same reason I assumed Dino Charge Green would be female, it's the closest equivalent to yellow.

Well if it's fury cast reveal at that virtual con. Be nice to get official reveal. As for gender swap I really don't see the point to do it. When in general now days we usually do have 2 female rangers. Heck for all we know maybe green won't be gender swap and this other lady if this is the cast could be mentor or a supporting cast character.

Excellent detective work by Illuminerdi!
My only questions are
1. When the site posted the first five names they said they were unsure of their respective colours. Why are they sure Fite is playing Gold and not one of the core five colours?
2. How do we know one of the colours is being gender swapped when one of the women could be playing a mentor role like Kendall?
3. Why do people think Green is the most likely to be gender-swapped rather than blue or black? Is it because of the Sentai footage?
I guess my main concern is that gender-swapping in 2021 seems quite ridiculous because it always looked silly and unbelievable on screen. I never once bought the idea as a child that a fairly petit/athletic actress became as large and butch as her male team mates after she morphed whilst the Pink (or White) ranger always looked more... realistic. I’m Gen-Z and grew up with the Disney seasons so the only time I encountered it was when I watched old episodes. I highly doubt children in 2021 would take it seriously either.

Ya and counting of the footage could be weird seeing a gender swap when you don't need it or it make any sense. When sure we may not have 2 female rangers. Doesn't mean we can't have a ranger alley, mentor or a female villain be any number of the female roles.

“Why do women need to be lead characters? Can’t they just be happy just being in lesser roles?” 😒

Hey I am not saying they can't be lead characters. I just at this time don't see a gender swap since we haven't had once in such a long time. Plus we don't even know what secondary or villain or original made characters the series going to have.

WHy do you think people are triggered by women? Or you are projecting insecurities in other people? LOL zarius has a point, if you bothered to read the article. The whole idea of representation sound empty if people scream 24/7 about it without understanding the meaning. This is the thing: Power Rangers already did the swap genders in older seasons, newer seasons didn't do it, because, I don't know. The belief a swap change can make automatically a season better, or the World gonna become a better place, or some surreal compression of reality, it makes me laugh. I'm telling you from somebody who said I want a female green, I'm open to the idea, but if people don't want it, or think it doesn't matter, is their opinion. I don't gonna start attacking them just using "trigger" or whatever the c2rap word is being used right now in Twitter. Power Rangers was always diverse and progressive (in some way). The fact there is people asking "more diversity" in a show like this, it seems stupid. It just a deflecion of real problems, like good writing, direction or plotting. This is the crux of franchise like Star Wars or STar Trek right now: sh2tt1 writing, horrible characters, awful plot, calling the fans "bigots", but hey! they have diversity right now....(in case of Star Trek, is a joke. Star Trek always have diversity).

Regarding the rumours that are being spread at the moment regarding the cast, I'm taking it with a grain of salt. but if the rumours of the gender swap for one of the Rangers DOES turn out to be true, then it will be the first season since Power Rangers Wild Force to change the gender of a Ranger, albeit the first gender change that is not a Yellow Ranger. And on a personal note, I think we need more female Rangers.

Ya hard to know what is what same we don't even know what the non ranger villain and supporting characters are for the season. For all we know the actress folks think could be female green could end up being a villain like roxy or a supporting role to rangers like betty. Hopefully the cast will be revealed at the pulsecon. Plus with u knowing filming starts next week. If it's not revealed then once first outdoor filming starts we will know rangers just by either them in civilians clothes or if they are in suit without mask onset or what not.
