Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted November 12, 2022 Paid Members Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) Well, I assume I was pissed. No other excuse other than idiocy, and my posting history doesn't suggest that. Well. OK. Yeah. Worst thing is, I fucking checked before I posted. ? Edited November 12, 2022 by ReturnOfTheMack

Paid Members DEF Posted November 20, 2022 Paid Members Posted November 20, 2022 Just read Jason David Frank aka the Green Ranger has died.
Merzbow Posted November 20, 2022 Posted November 20, 2022 Shit, wasn't he still in the more current shows too? Seemed to be the one guy who really hung on to the Power Ranger fame.
Paid Members DEF Posted November 20, 2022 Paid Members Posted November 20, 2022 Yeah did loads of the spin offs. Always my favourite ranger by a long shot.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted November 20, 2022 Paid Members Posted November 20, 2022 He was ostensibly the face of Power Rangers. He appeared in I think 7 different PR series as 5 different rangers. He was also the lead in the original pilot of VR Troopers when it was called Cybertron. He'd been fighting in MMA, and kept challenging CM Punk to a match, which had potential to be quite a draw, even if it hadn't necessarily been the greatest of fights. It's a heck of a loss to the PR fans, and the show. I would imagine there'll be some kind of tribute in the next series, and Johnny Yong Bosch will probably become their go-to guy given Austin St John's recent legal troubles. Unless they want to reach out to David Yost, AJJ or Walter Jones. If anything was impetus to start making my way through the show again it's this. Power Rangers was a huge part of my misspent youth. I was shocked to see the news.
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted November 20, 2022 Awards Moderator Posted November 20, 2022 We are very sadly getting to the point where we could do with a memorial section on here for members passed on.

David, Walter and Johnny are all coming back for a 30th anniversary special on Netflix next year along with Steve Cardenas, Karan Ashley and Catherine Sutherland, unfortunately (for legal reasons) Austin St John won’t be nor Amy but they’ll be honoring Thuy Trang by having a young actress play Trini’s daughter. JDF had only recently announced he was retiring from the franchise for reasons unknown but he’d been going through a divorce lately amid cheating allegations and sadly it sounds like that played a big part in his death
