That was a rather unfortunate consequence of not reading ahead in the material. Not much they could do about it either, since they wouldn’t have the budget to film enough of their own scenes in the costumes until much later.
While the color coding could have been unfortunate coincidences, David Yost, the actor for the first blue ranger was bullied off the production for being gay.
According to Yost, he was often called a “removed”, and the producers frequently questioned other cast members in private about his sexuality. Yost left late in the fourth season after a week of contemplation and thoughts of suicide instead of continuing work another six months into the second film. He stated that the co-workers involved with writing, filming, and producing the show considered him “not worthy” to be where he was and that he “could not be a superhero” because of his homosexuality.
It’s a consequence of the director being a publicly verified twat, but otherwise yeah. It certainly wasn’t the intent of the original Japanese show runners.
You can also just add words to rasict graf
Ranger
The guy who was as strong as the whole team of normal Rangers?
The team where they were literally color coded by race btw, except for the gay boy in blue.
Maybe less of a recapture because of direct directorial mandates than you would hope is all I’m saying
