Find your tribe in a Sea of Creativity
I kinda like how Dino Charge kind of shows that Chase was the leader before Tyler got there. Like Chase and Koda had been fighting Fury together for a while so it would make sense for them to have a deeper bond off rip than the other rangers, something I wish we saw more of, but it also makes sense that Chase would pull forward as a leader of the two. He knows the present time, unlike Koda.
In the episode “A fools Hour” you can see Chase still in his leadership role. His little riff with Tyler and all, while primarily about Tyler not sticking with the team, but it could also be bc Chase is having trouble a) working with so many people and b) realizing Tyler is supposed to lead them.
Chase didn’t have much reason to trust Tyler other than the Energem choosing him, he had no reason to trust his theory, no reason to give up his command, to put the life of Koda (his only battlefield partner) on the line just because Tyler had a “hunch” .
Anyway, I’m sure I’ll read this later and realized I forgot/misremembered something bc it’s 12 am right now, but all this to say, I wish we saw more Leader!Chase come into play.
