Oh Eddie was going to get away with it. RPM was able to get away with a lot of things because Disney was just playing out the string. Eddie had more creative license then anyone since Doug Sloan. And arguable could still get away with more. The only thing that sunk him was production almost stalling. Which wouldnhave cost money and forced even the apathetic Disney's hand. Why spend more good money after bad at that point? ™If it weren't for this "Ranger Black" likely would have preceeded pretty closely with Eddie' vision.

RPM was better for the production change. Judd riegned things in and made RPM more tolerable as a PR season. Eddie had talent but he tried to change too much too fast. I find RPM to be overrated and an example of why grim dark Power Rangers is less than ideal.

"Ranger Black" may have worked for another franchise. But for a show like Power Rangers, it would have been a disaster. Power Rangers is supposed to be uplifting. The tragady of the Rangers having to defeat a fake friend would have just not been a place Power Rangers could go. Its scary how close it was to happening and how it was almost the last episode.
