Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

It seemed to me that it was too easy for the clone to get access to the Green Powers. Especially since they were supposed to be lost forever?

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

perhaps but it was magical energy due to the Ghost of Darkness conjuring up the Wizard of Deception and with magic anything is possible.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

The wizard was way too powerful. It made no sense to me.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

I think the Ghost of Darkness and the Wizard's powers were supposed to rival Zordon's powers prior to his trapping.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

But it was odd because Rita created the ghost , who created the Wizard...But they acted like he was Zordon 's rival.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

Rita had most of the old Powers but couldn't use them until the Wizard made the clone. I am only surprised the Wizard didn't overthrow Rita years ago, if he was so powerful.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

I always assumed his power were another powerful allusion and that was why the clone had to put Dragonzord under an evil spell.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

exactly but they can still say the Wizard was one of Zordon's rivals even though the Wizard was just a creation that came from the Ghost of Darkness of which Rita herself created

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

I thought so. The wizard shouldn't be that powerful to create a real Green Ranger. Besides, Rita should have been able to do it herself if he could.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

keep in mind that Zordon himself said that the Wizard himself has the power to make illusions become a reality so it wasn't a "real" Ranger but an illusioned one that became a reality

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

Yes, the second Green Ranger was a fake. Just a very good one.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

It makes you wonder why Rita didn't use the Wizard in season 1?

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

It was too easy. The wizard shouldn't have had the power to give the clone the old Green Ranger Powers. Which were already gone. It was just an excuse to do White Ranger versus Green Ranger. They didn't put much thought into it.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

perhaps the Ghost was a recent creation or perhaps using him results in using too much power so she doesn't use the Ghost? I mean look at how often we saw her use spells in the first season practically never it was usually just Finster making Putties and monsters.

I don't think the White vs Green was the main reason they just wanted to do something that didn't involve much work since they weren't back in California due to being stuck in Australia due to a bunch of constant delays with the movie's production.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

Yes the movie and the fact they did these episodes in Australia,played a big role on this.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

I always assumed the wizard just used the power Rita took with the Green Candle. I don't know why she didn't summon the wizard to do this before.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

I don't think they were the real powers. Just a really good recreation. They were all tied into the Wizard's Wand.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

I found it odd at first. But figured it was due to the Green Candle. However the thepery the powers came from the Wizard himself is a good one.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

it couldn't be because of the Green Candle since Zedd claimed he had used the last of its remnants to drain the other Rangers' powers.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

I thought it made no sense and was unneeded. The Green Powers storyline was done. And we already had way too much of Tommy. The only good part was the drama in the zord dight of whether to destroy Dragonzord or not. I just wish Tommy stayed with the clone in the past.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

I was just glad we had the the show down. It made perfect sense.Tommy facing Tommy was really cool.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

the only bad thing is it was Zyuranger, Zyu2 and Dairanger footage they didn't do any original footage with the zords likely because they didn't have the Zyuranger mecha BUT that's cold wishing the real Tommy would've stayed in the past just because you despise him that much for hogging the spotlight.

very true it's just disappointing that it wasn't a fair fight.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

Tommy staying in the past would have been a good thing for him. He could have let those settlers know Angel Grove was supposed to be in California.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

still cold of you and very funny about that other part.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

I know your kidding about the Angel Grove part. But there is nothing in that episode to set up Tommy staying in colonial Angel Grove. The clone has a reason, since he wants to create his own legacy. Heck Adam has more of a reason to stay than the real Tommy. Since he actually connects with a young woman.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

Maybe the Wizard was on the outs with Zedd. And Rita wasn't allowed to use him in Season 1? This could be why she didn't make a clone after Green Candle.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

or perhaps she hadn't made the Ghost yet? we don't know when he was created do we? or even perhaps he had to be re-created and it took a lot of time and magic to do so?

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

It could be the the Dragonzord Powers weren't avalible to Rita until Tommy lost his powers in " Green No More". But only the Wizard could allow Rita to use the powers. And he needed to make a Tommy Clone as well. But lets not forget Rita wasn't around again until "The Wedding". And "Return of Green Ranger" is not long after that.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

Rita had no access to the Green Powers while Jason held the coin or Tommy lost his recharged powers. Which didn't happen until after her banishment. So considering she used the wizard soon after her comeback, I think we have our reason.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

The Wizard should have had to use the Green Candle to make the new coin. It did make little sense.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

It really shouldn't have been so easy. Not even Zordon and Alpha could fix Tommy's Powers.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

I think White Ranger Tommy should have stayed in the past so Green Ranger Clone could take his place. Tommy was always more interesting as Green Ranger.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

I thought it was too easy for Tommy to get his powers back in the first place.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

Well he did almost die in the process. So I wouldn't call that easy. Green Ranger Clone had it ten times easier. Except for the evil slave thing.

Re: Was it too easy for Tommy Clone to become Green Ranger?
 

It was a big continuity error that made Tommy's power loss storyline not make sense.
