    What I like is that the Dino Rangers, namely Connor, slowly started being able to fight back instead of getting stomped the whole way through while still making the White Ranger seem strong. Connor quickly became the strongest ranger due to Triassic Mode and his battlizer, but Trent never felt like he got shafted power wise.
    They managed to make the Dino Rangers catch up while still maintaining the White Ranger's prestige.

    What I love about Trent and Tommy's relationship is that the two of them have both been white rangers before and have both been corrupted by an evil source into fighting their own friends as evil rangers. In Tommy's case, that's Rita's Dark Magic. In Trent's case, that's Mesogog's tampering with the White Dino Gem. I felt for both of them during their internal struggles, but I'm glad that Trent wasn't immediately forgiven for his past misdeeds, it was a gradual build to regaining his self-composure, his independence outside of the gem's influence and their trust, which was written in a believable manner. Tommy's redemption felt too fast, imo. I'm glad he was redeemed but there was hardly any trust issues that erupted from their conflicts. I guess that's why I'll always prefer Dino Thunder over Mighty Morphin'. Which honestly makes it a great sequel series.

      @DOLLAMAC190 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +114

      Two things wrong with your gripe. Tommy was forgiven fast because they know for a fact, it was Rita who caused all of that. He never made them believe not once he was on their side. He went head first under that spell. While Trent was initially good being forced to be evil by the gem. While under it's control, he pretended to be on their side, only to double cross them. It was constant betrayal. That's why it took longer to trust Trent. He would say and do another. That's untrustworthy. Though they were similar situations, it was different. Both played out like it was supposed to.

      @wadeyhyena1657 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +25

      On top of this, Trent was clearly tossed under the ringer even when he was on the team in comparison to Tommy because the direction was written to be more realistic when compared to Mighty Morphin' which was inspired by Saved By The Bell. I understand that Tommy Oliver is a fan favourite, but his redemption felt too easily earned when compared to other sixth rangers, such as Merrick, Leanbow and Eric. Like he isn't devoid of criticism. Especially in Dino Thunder since he was the one who created the Biozords and the Tyrannodrones.

Tommy also hung back always preferring to be called in when needed either it be workouts or martial arts practice pre green candle. All which due to how he felt being under Rita's spell. Jason felt guilt for not saving green rangers powers that lasted half way into the second season haunting him and staggering his confidence. The evil green ranger arc had the most impact during and after all was said and done.

    I love this trilogy. It's almost poetic. Tommy was the evil green ranger then became the good white ranger. With Trent it's opposite. What's also interesting is that originally they toyed with Trent dying like Mikoto did in Abaranger, but Disney wouldn't have it, so they split the white ranger into two which made the story better. Also, amberizing Doctor O, had the effects of the rangers having to rely on each other. Originally this was not part of the plan. JDF (RIP) had to go run his schools. Thankfully we also got Legacy of Power and Fighting Spirit. Dino Thunder was such a great season. I only wish the producers had stuck around for SPD. That season would've been WAY BETTER!

    The way they adapted the story of Abarekiller was honestly really well done. Still, it would have been a little truer to the original character to keep him as a lone wolf antihero-type once he freed himself, given that the lack of participatory footage from Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger created the sole drawback of Trent's later presence in the series- his minimal presence in fights once he turned good.

    This. This is why I kept watching Dino Thunder. I started it because Tommy was back, but I kept watching because of the character development, and episodes like "White Thunder", which took familiar elements from Mighty Morphin, like an evil Ranger, but turning it on its head so that it's not so familiar. Unlike Tommy, who was introduced in the very episode he became the Green Ranger, we were introduced to Trent in the third episode of the season, and so we had six episodes (he wasn't in episodes 4 and 5) to get to know him before he became the White Ranger. It just added that extra lair of drama that Mighty Morphin tried to go for with Tommy being the Evil Green Ranger, but ultimately failed to land. It also added that extra suspense for us as the audience because "Green with Evil" wrapped up in five days and then Tommy joined the team. But with Trent, we had to wait weeks to see if the Dino Gem's evil influence on him would be shaken or not. I loved it.

    What I like most about this arc is the parallels between Trent and Anton. They are both forcibly taken over by a power beyond their control.
    But in Anton's case, he still retains a lot of himself, who he really is, despite his monstrous alter-ego. Trent isn't so lucky, slowly losing himself to the white gems influence until he is unrecognisable.
    Because of this, we see Anton's best qualities start to shine through. Before now, he seemed rather cold and uncaring. But he does care for Trent and would never want him to go through the same thing he does with Mezagog. And it's _because_ of Mezagog that Trent is going through this in the first place.
    This culminates in Anton eventually being the one to free his son of the gems influence. Very fitting. Trent was turned bad because of Mezagog, but is saved from this curse by his father. The good side winning out over the bad side.

I like Abakiller in Bakryu Sentai Abaranger a bit more than Trent (especially given his motivation to be "evil" isn't from a generic "you're good I'm bad but more so "It's my life, I'll do whatever I want. I have power and therefor am free to do what I want) but Trent is still a great character that is worthy to hold up the mantle. But damn if you think the beat down the rangers got in Dino Thunder? That's just the censored version. If you see what Abakiller does to the other Abarangers in Sentai, bruh...It could've gotten WAY WORSE for everyone involved.

    When I was a teenager and watched PRDT on TV, this trilogy and the whole evil White Ranger arc blew my mind. Not only he has one of the best suits ever in PR (even until now), but it was so well written and kept me in the edge of the chair. I think Trent redemption and how the White Ranger was nerfed after that is kind of depressing, but at least he got a good conclusion. Years later, when I saw the Super Sentai counterpart, Abaranger, even tho I think Abare Killer (White Ranger's counterpart) was a bit more interesting because he was evil not being controlled or anything, just because he wanted to, I still thought evil Trent was as good arc and I still love it. I remember in a panel, Jeffrey Parazzo (Trent actor) said that he watched the Super Sentai counterpart and wanted to look like AbareKiller and expected, like him, to be evil till the very end.

    I remember being a kid who's first series was wild force so I had a bit of idea of extra rangers but seeing the white ranger for the first time absolutely annilalating a monster that would've taken a whole episode for the main trio to beat then seeing him take down the trio with such ease was such a core memory. It really ingrained in me how good a anti-hero could be at such a young age even though I didn't have the exact words for what the white ranger was at that time.
    It was a different type of beat down compared to the ones the wildforce and ninjastorm rangers experienced for the first time.
    Despite it being sentai footage, to this day I have never felt a anti-hero debut as powerful as the one the white ranger showed.
    Trent's struggle to "control" his power was also probably my first time into learning about super powered evil sides with emphasize on the "super". Not to mention the clone of him that fought a experienced and powered up Conner that almost effortless defeated the clone to show how far the trio had come and all of this climaxing to Trent not only mastering his powers but even having to fight a clone of him who could also enter super dino mode was probably what helped make this my fav series of power rangers.

    There are exceptions to why I love Dino Thunder and it’s rooted in it being a legacy season/spiritual successor to Mighty Morphin, let’s just say if the penultimate clips show was going to pan out the way it did, maybe red Ranger should have been the one to free Trent, if not, exactly what Trent did should’ve been dealt with as a consequence to writing him off as no longer good and just abandoning him.

      The issue is, this crew was always a bit more blunt and narrow minded than other Ranger groups. They were always thinking elimination first, "can they be redeemed" second, ESPECIALLY Connor. Heck Connor was always way more serious than the rest, and usually lacked patience until way later when he really started to grow into his leader role. Which is interesting, since Trent was very reasonable but at the mercy of a possessing force, making redemption an irrelevant question. It flows much better with these characters, whereas in Mighty Morphin the Rangers were way more reasonable but Tommy was straight mind controlled, and thus not reasonable at all.
      The arcs contrast each other and play on the strengths/weaknesses of each cast quite well. The Dino Thunder crew are especially slow to trust, and they keep that consistent. But in alot of ways it's also not a flaw, since they're knowingly dealing with shapeshifters and psychic villains. Trent just happened to get caught in a warzone rather than a slice of life.

    The entire season was great and the slow build up and reveal of mesagog and who he was really made the series stand out to me . Then we have this arc with the white ranger and how dark it truly was ell trent in some parts of the arc looked like a drug user strung out with how pale they made him look and sickly. to me it very closely showed what a drug could to do to a person and change them in a short time then eventually them over coming said use and atoning for their sins. This was such a well written arc for power rangers that not many other things in the franchise surpass it. The subtle hints we slowly get during this really made this series so bloody good. I wish we got something like this again with it being so gritty.
    then we have the main villain for this like you said its was unsettling just how much they came off as truly evil and made his showing up even more dramatic

    Something I always wanted to see, was a Lord Drakkon version of Trent's White Ranger Clone. I think that would've made a perfect Anti-hero/Villain Character had it been expanded upon. Could've taken it a step further with the Clone stealing all of Mezagog's powers to turn into someone much worse. *Overlord Thundar*.

    I have a theory that The White Drago Morpher, while being at it's "evil" stage, worked just like Venom to Spider-Man, an symbiont. Basically, the White Drago Morpher was made to just an strong being (Mesogog) controll the true power of the Dino Gem, and since Trent (an human weak being) took the Morpher for himself without knowing, as he wasn't about to controll the Morpher Power, the Morpher used the energy of the Dino Gem to impose it's will over Trent and so, to release bad emotions and behavior over Trent to cause him this destructive behavior over everyone. In the end, what the Electro Bolt of Mesogogs lab did to Trents Morpher, was destroying the Morpher will over it's user, and so, killing the Symbiotic Morpher. If that never happened, and Trent continued using the evil version of the Morpher, probably, he would end up dying and his Dino Gem would explode, and that explosion, being chaotic to all of Reefside (just like what happened in Super Sentai). That's my theory.
