@Just Wayne
The anime that’s supposed to be ending?

No better time to catch up, I guess.

I’d suggest adding fangames to your Best Ways To Enjoy the Franchise.

Anyone here seen TG:M?

Rumors are floating around that Jason Frank, the actor known for Tommy the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger has died.
The rumors appear to have started from a relatively unknown Twitter account saying they received a phone call informing them. No official sources or relatives have confirmed the news at this time.

@Dex Stewart
Would be a shame if it turns out to be true.

@Dex Stewart
Desperately hoping it’s not true but it’s not looking good, as it some people like his trainer and BossLogic, the artist who’s been working with him, posted about it. There’s also this post by the director of the movie he was working on

Power Rangers was my childhood and he was the Power Ranger. I even had the luck to meet him at LA Comic Con last year

@Kiryu-Chan
Apparently an agent of his has confirmed it,

I was 3 in 1993. I remember watching power rangers the day it aired. They were my first heroes and Tommy was my fave. Godspeed to a 90’s icon and my childhood hero.

First Batman dies, Pokémon drops a deuce and tries to pass it off as a game and now the Green Ranger dies.

My childhood is taking a beating this week.

@Thanotos Omega
Blake Foster(Turbo’s Justin) made a post about it, but later deleted it. Some sites reporting has also deleted it, likely because, well, nothing has been confirmed yet

Walter Jones also confirms….

It’s officially been confirmed that Jason David Frank has passed away

Well that’s depressing. He was the best Ranger.

Rest in Power, Ranger.

I still remember the day he made his return as the White Ranger, one of the most hype moments in the whole franchise

Rest In Power, king

So, finally watched Wakanda Forever. I liked it. It’s actually really emotional. Of course multiple YouTube videos are already talking about how bad it is. Such is the way for every single thing Marvel puts out nowadays.

I also watched Black Adam, which is funnily getting the same treatment on YouTube. I think the beginning feels a little weak but it picks itself up as it goes along. I also find it pretty fun to watch.

What’s the trope called where a Woman makes fun of two Men fighting for petty reasons?

Usually she’ll say something like:

@CaptainXtra
I don’t think that one has a name.

Closest would be related to Dump Them All.

Still shocked. My brother and I always thought he was the coolest Power Ranger (My favorites were him as the Green Mighty Morphin Ranger and the Black Dino Thunder Ranger). I hope wherever he is now he can see all the love and tributes from all of us. RIP

Since Iger is back at Disney to replace Chapek, it’s only a matter of time before WBD can fire David Zaslav and Hasbro can bring back Stephen Davis or Darren Throop (if he leaves eOne) to replace Chris Cocks since Cocks never believed in Brian Goldner’s vision, God rest his soul.

The whole saga at Disney is somewhat indicative that at least some executives there give a shit about the company, somewhat. Chapek was starting to give Zaslav vibes.

There’s a manga influenced Popeye comic being made.
