>>13399475>They were adapting Timeranger's suit footage, but not the actual story.Now you're just getting caught in the particulars. Time Force is literally an adaptation of Timeranger and most of its story.
But the big takeaway from that is that ethnicity only rarely is pivotal to a character.
It's not vital that Tatsuya Asami is a Asian man, as much as it does matter that he was a man that refused to resign to his fate and be his father's successor at his company, and chose to control his destiny as a Ranger.
These character beats matter more.
Should someone like Black Panther never be a Latina chick? Almost certainly. But in the case of Rangers, it never really mattered who was what ethnicity. There was never one big episode where they sat down and talked about Zack's race. What did matter was that one of them was the leader, the brains, the cool guy, the silent type, and the valley girl, and that as a unit, they were all this weird, multicultural team who talked to a giant head and fought clay dudes.
