*To Jason* Okay then, Zordan—now your ass is really going on this mat!
Kim, look—no one knows more than me how it feels. When I lost Green...I’d wished I’d died. But...you were there for me. I want to help...but you keep running away, and I can’t understand why.
Nice Zamasu/Goku Black vibes, which I can't deny isn't one my main sources of inspiration behind MMPR '96's Drakkon.I just wanted to share a couple items I added to the main project page after you submitted just FYI. Namely, I will be keeping casting open until I have solid choices for all the EP1 principal cast, or maybe divided between a couple waves (like all Rangers first, etc). I'm a complete boy scout at this whole entire casting thing, so it's all very learning on the job situation.The other thing is I added a Tommy/Drakkon character pitch to the role info to attempt to provide more clarity about the potential storyline/direction. I apologize for the rough draft shoddiness of the writing itself, as all the intended subtility/slow-burn is lost, but I hope it's still somewhat informative.TL;DR: Black-suit Spider Tommy arc.Thanks for submitting!"Lord Drakkon is many things: Elegant, graceful, charming, visionary, all-powerful, benevolent, forgiving, commanding, certain, calculating, poised, cunning, lethal, iron-clad--perfection. He has everything that befits his stature--everything that is, except Pink Ronin.
In another reality, Tommy Oliver's life has never been in more stressed turmoil. His ex-Ranger girlfriend's dumped him and run away to Paris, he's constantly walking a tightrope around the new Pink Ranger Kat, pretending he doesn't know that she thinks that he doesn't know about her feelings for him that enabled Rita's and Zedd's manipulation in stealing the Pink Power coin, or the fact it's an inner tug-o-war keeping his own growing attraction to Kat in check.
However, after striking the death blow on Drakkon, the Ranger Slayer by re-absorbing his previously stolen green ranger energy embedded in Drakkon by Zedd, his previous worries start fading and seem rather unworthy of his concern compared to more pressing matters. Like Kat's fumbling mistakes in the heat of battle, Zordon's backwards and self-defeating moralistic handcuffs, or Jason's clear incompetence at playing leader.
Being the most powerful Ranger now makes it all more tempting to put Jason in his place for good and take command, or even better, maybe it's time to finally cut ties with them all and go solo..."
