Should Eric have died?
 

Would Eric's story be more powerful if he died like his counterpart?

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

People shouldn't die in Power Rangers. Even the inferior seasons mostly follow this. I do think Eric should have got his powers taken from him. Since he wasn't a worthy Ranhse.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

Rinshee was part of Samurai if I remember correctly. Eric was Time Force. Since he did come around and worked with Wes, I have to say no to both. He did become worthy of his Ranger powers and no he shouldn't of died. He had a lot of baggage so of course he was angry.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

I think he should have died like his counterpart did in the Sentai. It would have made his story mean more and be more tragic.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

Eric should never have been a Ranger. Such a selfish person should never have become a Ranger. He only stayed friends with Wes to remain a Silver Guardian.. He should have been a random person that becomes a Ranger like in Ninja Steel. Of course in this case its a random famous person that becomes the Sixth. Its smart because no Sixth can ever live up to Tommy.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

I agree. He was such a mean person and had no sense of honor.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

Eric's storyline was great all around. Having him die would have been a good close to his story and made it mean more. But if he was going to live they handled the end well. Having them become friends made sense.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

He couldn't die..It would have upset the children. As well as some of us older fans.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

Time Force wasn't really written for children.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

And thats why it failed. Disney had to take over to bring the franchise back it its roots after years of misteps.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

Time Force was still very much written for a young audience. Every pr season has been. Just because the story felt more sophisticated at times, don't confuse that with it being a shoe for grown ups.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

I don't.think he should have died. Wes should have defeated him to take his morpher. I don't buy him suddenly becoming Wes's friend.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

He didn't suddenly become Wes'.friend..Their storyline went throughout the whole season..They gradually earned respect for each other and slowly became allies. By the end , actually becoming real friends.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

Eric was a lot nicer in the team up.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

Except when he gave Taylor a speeding ticket. lol

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

Which was stupid since Taylor was so responsible she would never speed like that. It was poor writing for convenience.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

I think it would have made for a powerful plot point. It would have been sad but would have made Time Force even more sophisticated.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

I think you could go either way. But the fact Eric survived did not diminish his story. And it was probably good to do something different with Sentai. It also allowed Eric to be a part of the team up. It wouldn't have been the same without him.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

Probably but it didn't ruin his storyline..

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

Just because Sentai did it, doesn't mean PR had to go the same route. Eric did not need to die to make his story work. In a lot of ways he was the best written character. Certainly he most three dimensional Ranger ever.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

The company censors would never have gone for this.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

I thought so at the time but I think they handled the end of his storyline well now. He didn't need to die to be a good character.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

It would have been a disgrace..Characters shouldn't die on Plwer Rangers.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

I think Wes should have sacrificed himself to save Eric. To make up for being such a scene hogging tool the whole season.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

Yes, that would have made it a tragic story and finished off Time Force being a masterpiece. Having Eric survive and become Wes' friend was a cop out. Really the end of Time Force was kinda weak. Which shows you how good he bulk of it was because I still consider it tied for the best with RPM.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

That would be silly. Eric was always going to become Wes' friend. Since Power Rangers is about teamwork.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

Eric's storyline was handled well and wasn't rushed to a finish in the finalie. Plus they got to use him again in the two WF team ups.

Re: Should Eric have died?
 

Way to dark of an idea, sorry.
