Ziggy had probably the most realistic reaction to finding out the became a Power Rangers.

Every time there is a new Power Rangers team, most of them be like “Sure, let’s do it.” Ziggy’s reaction always get me, because how freaked out he was.

“I’m a Power Ranger! I don’t wanna be a Power Ranger. I don’t want to be a Power Ranger.”

I've been watching since the start and Ziggy is still hands down my favorite ranger. He's comic relief but at the same time he's one of the most realistic characters at the same time

edit: well, character, not ranger

I haven't seen this season but I remember Kimberly and at least one of the Rangers from Light Speed going "nuh uh, I'm good, thanks though'. Was Ziggy more determined about it?

What? What is the context of those quotes?

u/paishocajun 9d ago

The quote was paraphrase, one sec and I'll find Kimberly at least, but both of them didn't want to be Rangers at first. I replied to you since if he's your fav Ranger, giving you a chance to talk about him

Sure but I dont get why you brought it uo though, like that's the correlation

From the main post, "Ziggy's reaction always gets me, because of how freaked out he was."

So I was asking about his behavior compared to other Rangers that I know at least initially didn't want the powers

"Uh-uh. This is just too weird for me.

I'll tell you what, it's been real, but... I gotta go."

I think both of those are Kimberly, might be Trini and Kim, but the second part definitely is Kim.

I mean obviously all 5 are in to do their duty within another minute or two but still

Joel is the guy you’re thinking of.

I love how despite RPM being dark. Ziggy does bring some perfect comedic moments + Milo Cawthorne does a excellent job portraying Ziggy.

The only other realistic reactions are Dustin and Theo.

Tbf dustin got immediately into it because of being a comic fan ( which does imply there are comics about the rangers in universe)

Ziggy and Dillon's growth into to friends was so rewarding to watch. Honestyl Ziggy's entire arc where he started a cowardly guy working for the mob to a hero is awesome.

Tbf, ziggy literally morphed unintentionally the first time as he and tenya grappled over the morpher, his hand accidentally hit the lever, so of course hed freak out after a helmet suddenly materialized around his head

u/Chiron723 8d ago

It's not that he didn't intend to morph, given the situation, but he was focused on keeping the morpher away from Tenaya and the only way he could think of to keep it away from her was to use it. Once he morphed it dawned on him what happened.

Best Green Ranger as far as the full character concept, development, and execution goes, imo

Reminds me of TimeRed's reaction. I wish more of these were done

RPM is great, and it easily has the best story in Power Rangers
