Former 'Power Rangers" head writer Tony Oliver says he now views the decision to cast a Black actor as the Black Ranger and an Asian actress as the Yellow Ranger as 'such a mistake.'
No? Pink is a “girl” color. And even in the original sentai source material, Pink was a girl (hence the skirt). Yellow was a dude which is why you can really tell what scenes were filmed with the US stunt team/actors and what were from the original (hint: Is the bulge in the crotch or the chest?).
Not just the costumes, much of the footage used was just re-editted footage straight from Japan’s Super Sentai series (specifically their 16th iteration). The only footage that was American made, for the most part, was stuff in the command center and where you can see the actors’ faces. The monster fights, the zords, the stuff with Rita on the moon, etc. was all Super Sentai footage.
And the reason that the yellow ranger didn’t have a skirt like the pink ranger did despite being played by a woman is becuase they weren’t played by a woman in Japan. The yellow ranger was a guy in the original Super Sentai series and was only made a girl in the US.
Pink ranger must have been an accident, too.

The costumes came before the US casting, and it already had a skirt.
So either they turned extremely progressive for a children show on the 90s or they cast a Scottish
