Tommy in Forever Red and DT
 

Did anyone get the vibe that the Tommy we got in DT seemed a lot different from the Tommy we got in Forever Red?

Amit had a very different idea for Tommy then Doug. In Forever Red, Tommy was supposed to be a rich celebrety. Also the leader of Hexagon. Some of this would have been followed up on in Amit's version of Ninja Storm.

By the time of DT it was a completely different production team and Doug had his own ideas for Tommy. Plus in this case Tommy was diffiently coming back full time so the dynamics changed. Plus they had to adapt things to shoot the Abaranger footage.

At least Sloan was still open to the idea of Hexagon. Even if he rejected all the civil war stuff Hexagon NS would have entailed.

I think a lot of Amit's plans for NS would have been scaled down by Tzachor or the studio. I can't see them going as far as Amit wanted. Jonathon probably would have wanted to follow the Sentai Footage pretty closely, like he did with Wild Force.

But the idea of Hexagon still works. Even without the civil war stuff, the idea of Tommy leading a secret organization to help Ranger teams works. And nothing really contradicts it on screen anyway.

Tzachor's NS would have been superior to the the version Disney gave us.

No doubt since Saban would have still been in charge.

I don't see much of a difference really. Tommy was just being more mysterious in Forever Red because they were on a top secret mission.

Re: Tommy in Forever Red and DT
 

The idea Tommy was some rich celebrity made no sense. Especially when he becomes a mild mannered teacher in DinoThunder.

Re: Tommy in Forever Red and DT
 

We had way too much Tommy overkill by that point

Re: Tommy in Forever Red and DT
 

How could you say that? By those points Tommy had been gone for years. Even DT took place a few years after Wild Force.
