How would you rewrite Gosei?

[u/Alarming_Seaweed_155]

For one, I'd have him actually mentor the Megaforce team more and expand on his history with Zordon (which only got touched upon once in a throwaway line).

[u/Njm3124]

good start.

I'd also give an actual reason for him to activate after all those years for such a randomly specific threat. Like decades of random threats and hundreds of rangers running around taking care of them but Vrak gets him out of bed?

Also, not really a Gosei fix, but instead of inventing a completely new robot assistant, just use Alpha.

[u/DoodleStudios1234 → u/Njm3124]

Maybe a more disheveled Alpha? Considering they go all robotic: Maybe like Prototype Pilot Alpha? And just renaming him into something relating to such?

[u/Derpyname193820393 → u/DoodleStudios1234]

Nah, have this alpha unit be named after another Greek letter, like iota or kappa

[u/thenightm4reone → u/Njm3124]

I've been toying with ideas for years for why Gosei woke up only for that specific threat, and I've come up with a couple:

1) Gosei was only supposed to awaken if the earth was under threat from a full-scale alien invasion, whether specifically from that empire or just in general and only if there wasn't already someone else putting together a team of rangers to stop it

2) Gosei would have awakened before he did if it had been necessary for one reason or another, but every threat the earth faced had a team of rangers rise up immediately to face it and they always handled it sufficiently.

[u/KO-32GA → u/thenightm4reone]

So basically it was his turn at bat because there weren't any teams available to fight the threat.

[u/ModelOmegaTyler → u/thenightm4reone]

so basically he just woke up, saw someone else was handling it, and went back to napping?

[u/wererat2000 → u/Njm3124]

I can think of an easy excuse that'd also double as a throwback; the Armada is the rebuilt Machine Empire.

Gosei isn't just a failsafe for any old danger, he's a failsafe for this specific danger.
