If convicted, he and the others involved go away for 20 years. They always got Rocky.

Well we will have to see if this is true or not. Illumnerdi hasn't had the best track record. As for Austin stuff. Ya if he gets jail time. He not going to be here but that is not bad to bring Steve in as backup.

Well, Austin ST John posted in his social media, claiming his innocence. So we have to wait and see. But so far, the "reunion" seems a little farfetched now.....

We don't even know if the mmpr stuff is even true. So what ever may or may not happen is all big question mark.

Not as farfetched, more like unnecessary I was being sarcastic, but oh well... ....and I won't call it unnecessary. So far Power Rangers, since Neo Saban era, has been taking the anniversaries very lightly. In fact, I really believe they treat he anniversaries as more of a obligation, than something to celebrate. And I think they treat the fans with contempt, and at the same time, treat them as big ATM that can buy any single product. I'm little tired of that, because I saw the results in other franchises. Fine. Probably the "effort" of bringing back the original actors were too much, but I think an anniversary like this deserve it.

Anyway, Im sick and tired of being labeled as the bad guy because I don't like Hasbro's current plans. I Love Power Rangers. I love it more than any other franchise. My top 3 beloved franchises are Power Rangers, Pokemon and One Piece, but I get labeled as a crackpot bigot because I don't blindly accept every new thing that comes out. I simply DO NOT want Power Rangers to end up like Marvel and DC. I still watch them, but more times than not, them along with other western entertainment companies make terrible things for diversity's sake. They race or gender swap characters for no reason other than being woke (The Boys and Invincible race and gender swap characters, but their characters kick-ass) and any new character they make, their gimmick is all about being gay. And if you have a problem with that, you're labeled a racist, bigoted homophobe. With the trend that current day Hollywood is following, I promise you, that is Power Rangers' future...and it's already starting with the comics. Hasbro distancing themselves from Toei will legit be the downfall of PR. So far I’ve seen 0 creativity and no attention towards the new seasons, instead we’re continuing to get the same MMPR merch and even the possibility of a cancellation on the actual show. Where does that make me a racist, bigoted homophobe?

On one hand, some recent movies/comics/shows do make a big deal out of the characters basing most of their angst on their identities, gender, sexuality etc, rather than problems everyone reading or watching can understand mutually. The same things often try to even state some races. genders, or sexualities are 'superior' to others in terms of morality and capability, when we should be teaching kids that we are all equals in life, we're all good at some things and bad at others. Nobody should be made to feel 'inferior'.
On the other hand, Power Rangers has handled the Izzy situation very well, and hasn't made a big deal out of her being gay, instead treating it as if it were just part of the furniture and with the same everyday issues as anyone else would face...and it's not every single episode.

Where does that make me a racist, bigoted homophobe? I don't think you are a bad guy. But the diversity "thing" is the new trend. it serves the companies with a shield to criticism for bad takes, bad characterization or stupid plots, in comics, TV or movies. Power Rangers always has been diverse. But it never used diversity or politics like a shield. They never were preachy or hamfisted, in the way politics are now. (Aside Power Rangers are hamfisted in other things, but in political spectrum, it was always a show for everyone). I think Hasbro is really stupid if treats MMPR like they treat Transformers, in making every 2 or 3 years G1 but with new shiny colors. Power Rangers is more than the first season, more than the first 3 seasons, and more than just reunion episodes or team ups. I'm like you, tatsuranger, Hasbro is not very original. Yes, Dino Fury is an improvement, but slightly. . I don't think he's bigoted, I think it's very frustating in actual DC or Marvel shoving all these characters, and not knowing what to do with them, and sincerely just for an excuse for diversity and taking classic version asides. And the use of emotional "blackmail". "You are a fan of X, then you have to love this character or if you don't you are something-phobe". I think he has the right to dislike the changes or interpretations of any character. Or new versions. I was fan of Wally West as the Flash, I'm still am, but I understand, when Barry Allen died in Crisis on Infinite Earths, some people were very pissed. Now, Barry is back, they shoved aside Wally West, and I was the one that was pissed. the same with the introduction of an African-American Wally West (that started his carrer as...a thief! Very significative for an african american), but the character wasn't the one I liked it: He wasn't married, he didn't have two children......It was awful. Also, he came back...and they transform him in a murderer in Heroes in Crisis. Terrible. How to respond to this? I heard people is pissed for the take on the Master Chief character in the Halo tv series. People are sad for how they treated Picard in the tv series. Luke Skywalker? People saying it's a great take on the character in the Last Jedi? He was going to kill his own nephew in his sleep? Because he sense somethng wrong? WTF? It's really frustating how actual writers from mayor franchises, with big budget, treat the properties fans love and turned into something that is not. So, I think HE'S NOT A BAD GUY. There is a lot of precedents. I think you take is correct. I think they treated Izzy character pretty fair. But I still don't believe she's an interesting character.

The part where you don’t like characters being different races or gay. My favorite gay cartoon characters are, Garnet from Steven Universe and Sasha Waybright from Amphibia. My favorite gay toku characters are Dino Fury Green, Kamen Rider Bravo and Kamen Rider Naki. My favorite gay manga/anime character is Mr. 2 Bon Clay from One Piece. Out of any of these characters I named, NONE of their entire point of existing is to be gay. Good, evil, misguided, weak, powerful, going through heartache, defeat, failure, coming back stronger and fighting through their personal demons to help their friends, teammates and the world. That's what makes these characters awesome. Compelling storytelling, compelling characters and their development and good writing. But according to you, because I don't think them being LGBTQ only makes them awesome, I'm a bigot.
