Medina and Deker
 

Why didn't they have Medina play Cole in Samurai?

Re: Medina and Deker
 

Because they wanted him to be a villian. Cole wasn't a villian. Also Deker's backstory didn't align with Cole's.

I'm surprised they don't have more former Rangers come back to play other characters. Especially with the show being in New Zealand.

Re: Medina and Deker
 

I thought for sure Medina was Cole. I figured he was gonna be possessed by a Nighlok spirit in a similar situation Merrick was in. But thats not the route they went. I was surprised since they went to the trouble to fly Medina to New Zealand.

I don't see that working. It would be kind of out of left field. Using Merricm would have made more sense.

Re: Medina and Deker
 

Cole wasn't evil like Deker or Merrick.

Re: Medina and Deker
 

I don't think the character would fit in Samurai. Which didn't have any direct ties to Wild Force. Besides being in the same continuity. I can't see a reason for using Cole. So Medina as a new character made far more sense.

Re: Medina and Deker
 

Merrick wasn't evil either it was Zen-Aku who was doing all that evil stuff basically Zen-Aku's wolf mask had cursed him

Re: Medina and Deker
 

He was in more control then he let on. All of Zen-Aku's deeds were his fault. Plus he let Zen-Aku follow him in the end. And he wasn't a very nice person as Merrick anyway.

Re: Medina and Deker
 

I don't know if Merrick was evil but he was a bad guy and should never have been a Ranger. Zordon never would have tolerwted his loner behaviour.

Re: Medina and Deker
 

don't be ridiculous oh wait that's your shtick to be as ridiculous as possible. He had no control over the mask the mask is evil and cursed and only someone without a brain or any smarts would think otherwise. Merrick was a lone wolf he didn't have to be "friendly" but that doesn't equate to "not being nice"
you think everyone under an evil spell is naturally evil except for the ones you're obsessed with. oh where's your fair bashing of Tommy? you can't do it because you play favorites and that's just pathetic

Re: Medina and Deker
 

She is right though. Merrick is evil!

Re: Medina and Deker
 

Thats silly. Merrick felt guilt all season for all the evil things he did while cursed.
