Adam is overrated

Adam was dull, he did hardly anything and stood in the background most of the time. Even Johnny Young Bosch himself refers to Adam as ''The background ranger''. Adam is one of the most overrated Power Rangers ever, and I think the only reason why he's loved so much is because Johnny Young Bosch is a cool guy.

How anyone can say Adam is better than Zack is beyond me. Zack was fun, had charisma,and he often stepped up as 2nd in command, and a lot of times he came up with suggestions on how to defeat the monster of the day in the Megazord. Zack added far more to the team than what Adam did

In MMPR, I'd agree with you, Adam did pretty much nothing. But in Zeo and Turbo, he became a much more rounded and likeable character. And I disagree with the assertion that people only love him because of Johnny Yong Bosch - I've always liked Adam and I never knew anything about the actors in the show. I like Zack as well though, both of them are two of my favourite rangers.

I liked Adam and Zack. Adam's likability, and eventually watching Walter Jones on Space Cases helped me get over Zack's departure. During the later seasons, I still missed him.

It was easy for me to relate to Adam because of how he started out as timid, then came out of his shell in positive ways. The episodes when he met Scorpina and found out about Skull's musical talents are good examples. The episodes of Turbo and In Space when he influenced Carlos were other episodes that showcased him well. Despite his limited dialog in Power Rangers The Movie, his "I'm a frog line" was one of the best scenes. Although Adam was soft-spoken, he could be assertive without his character coming off as too forced.

Reboot, restart or re-imagining is another word for remake

When I was watching MMPR as a kid, Adam was the boring one. I was surprised when I came across some newer PR seasons a few months ago to find that Adam had been elevated as a legendary ranger for the new generation. But, I guess the kids who were too young or hadn't been born yet don't know that he was kind of a backseat ranger on MMPR to the more prominent rangers. To be fair, I didn't really watch Zeo or Turbo on a regular basis so, I don't know if the character stepped up or not.

He did, yes, hence why he became more popular. In MMPR, he didn't really do anything. It wasn't until Zeo he became an actual character.

The future is sh*t, just like the past...

Saddly
Adam is the Only MMPR Ranger to be appeared in Power Rangers In Space on Always a Chance (the one with that Ugly Lizard Monster that scared the Kids)

I prefer Zack as well. Walter was the better actor and I thought he had the most entertaining fight scenes with the putties.

He got better over the years,In Space and Once a Ranger in OO is proof of that. Adam was the Ranger I was most excited to see in Once a Ranger. I was a fan of Zack as well.

I do watch Anime and have seen much of Johnny's work,but I did not start keeping with his voice acting til about 05 or 06,To me he will always be Adam Park,I know others only think of him as Vash,Ichigo,Lelouch ETC. I will never forgot that Johnny played Adam

If there is anybody I did note care for it was Rocky
