When it comes to Sentai...

...what do you prefer?

Green or Black Ranger? I personally prefer Green because to me it flows better with the other ranger's colors. Black might look cooler in most cases but Green just adds more to the team.

Blue Ranger as 2nd in command or Green/Black? I prefer blue because it just seems more of a 2nd in command color.

Yellow as girl or boy? I prefer girl. Mainly because I'm used to it, but also because yellow is a more feminine color to me. I associate it with sunflowers, lemonade, and sunshine.

With some exceptions (like Burai, or AbareBlack) Green and Black Rangers tend to fall into certain character types:

Green - childish, lively and young (Mido Ranger, ShinkenGreen, Go-on Green, Green Rhino, TimeGreen)
Or eccentric (MagiGreen, DekaGreen, Green Racer, GingaGreen)

Black - determined, belligerent, clashes with the Red (Black Condor, Go-on Black, BoukenBlack)
Or serious, intelligent and competent (Black Mask, MegaBlack, GaoBlack, Ninja Black)

So which one of those you go for depends on the other characters and the mood of the show. I prefer Blacks, personally. Alternatively, have both, like Liveman or Go-onger

Green or Black, it depends on their personalities (and bonus if he's a good looking actor!). I always prefer Green though.
Blue is always best as a guy since he's either the cool guy or the guy who takes charge after Red.
Yellow, if it's a girl, she has to be a tough tomboy. if it's a guy, well, he still has to be the tough one. :laugh: but I'd love to see a male Yellow again.

I dislike the idea that female Rangers must always wear "feminine" colours: pink, yellow, white, if she's a Blue it's got to be pastel blue. Also, girl Blues seem to have to "compensate" for wearing blue by being very girlie. For that reason I prefer male Blues, but a tough, competent female Blue would be awesome. I like tomboyish female Yellows, too - Yellow Mask, GekiYellow, GoseiYellow, AbareYellow, Yellow Racer ...

I personally like Blue as second in command because I love Blues, but having Black as second in command and Blue be a different character type (like Megaranger, Jetman, Maskman) can work really well. Alternatively, the team leader is female and Red is her second in command. I hope we'll see another series like that soon

Doesn't really matter to me.

I prefer Black Ranger as part of the core five, Yellow Ranger as second-in-command and either gender for Yellow.

Blue Dolphin, Magi Blue, & probably Hurricane Blue would like a word with you on that. They were mostly serious characters, especially in battle, & didn't have much ditzy personalities like Magi Pink, Deka Pink, & Mega Pink. The only exception is Blue Swallow, in which she had a child-like personality (probably due to her being in high school), if that's what you're referring to.

^ agreed. whenever the female pairs are Blue and Pink, Pink will always be the ditzier one of the two, except Blue Swallow of course. gawd, I hated her and still do.

Hurricane Blue was ditzy and flirty, MagiBlue was a super Stepford housewife type. So, they were very girlie. Blue Dolphin was the first female Blue and she was more like a male Blue character-wise (also, her suit was dark blue.) That was before the shows became all about viewer fanservice
