No one is even exaggerating here either, it seems that Saban plans to keep inviting actors up to the day the shooting starts - and perhaps afterwards - and then be surprised when people can't just step out of their lives at literally a moments notice.
Maybe Saban has got so wrapped up in Power Rangers he's forgotten that not everything in life is a jump cut away.

Or maybe Saban is forgetting that these aren't inexperienced newbies, but people who have dealt with his BS before...

I'm not spinning anything. What I'm saying is what the actors have said. Please try to keep up. I don't care if you think it can be done, but the actors who are living their lives are saying it's not. Take a minute to read what's being said instead of pointing fingers.
Also, you keep avoiding the questions I'm asking. Stuff like, you know, your age... and if you can just afford to stop what you're doing to go to New Zealand for a few days with nothing to show for it except OMG! FANZ0RS SATISFACTION! But please, continue to put part of the blame on the actors instead, because you love and respect them so much. Look around you kid. The people in the thread are saying the same thing I'm saying. The same things I've said. The same thing the actors have said. There is no compromise. Regardless, it's not the actors job to clean up Saban's mess. It's not their responsibility to pay attention to social media and get ready to phone in to go back to the show that most aren't happy with in the first place. Wow. Let's point some fingers some more here. You don't know what I care about. If I was truly apathetic, do you think I would even spend time having this senseless debate with you? At the end of the day, it's going to do what? Not a damn thing. I'll continue to see that this is one big mess that is without a doubt Saban's fault, and you'll continue to rattle on and on about compromise and how everyone should stop what they're doing because you want them to, to go film a 22 minute show because you want it. You'll continue to take it personally how just because people moved on from different careers and fields, that you should still think they need to put on cape and mask because "that's what superheroes do." Please. Grow up son. That's right. You got something right for once in this discussion. It's not their job to fix Saban's goof ups. But it's a not a scapegoat if the reason that all this happens falls on Saban. Wow. I like seeing the fire. Based on your second sentence in that paragraph, it shows me you haven't read any of the comments at all really. Most aren't "airing their dirty laundry" and have provided the fandom with very civil and polite answers. Also, let me just point out another fallacy in your argument. If it's about the money, you want them to say no thanks. Yet, you want them to compromise if it's about the money. But, you don't want them airing their dirty laundry. But if it's about the money, you want them to own that decision. The reason the money is an issue is because of Saban. The reason the actors don't want to go back due to poor conditions on the set is Saban. The reason invites were sent out at the last minute is because of Saban. The reason invites were sent out and taken back, was because of Saban. The reason some didn't get invites at all, is because, once again, of Saban. We've come full circle as to why it's Saban's fault. None of the things that's been said by the actors via social media is nothing new. We've known about the issues working with Power Rangers for years now. The actors feelings haven't changed, but because you think they should stop what they're doing, to go be on a kid's show, because it's "the superhero thing to do", suddenly the actors need to go to Saban and figure out how to make it all right, just... JUST for this instance. If the majority of the actors have nothing good to say about Saban, even the great JDF himself, have nothing good to say about Saban, why would they try to "fix things?" What do I know, I'm just a guy that hates Megaforce, and likes to add fuel to the fire. Or, no... could it be I'm 32 years old, and I have a job, bills, school and also a single parent and know what "life" really is instead. Nah. Couldn't be. EDIT: I'm finished here. Everyone in the thread is pretty much saying the same thing I am, which is the same thing the actors are saying. Don't pin the blame on the actors because "it's their duty" to stop what they're doing and live the life you want them to lead. Civil and polite answers do not include veiled barbs or outright gripes about a former employer. If someone makes you an offer you don't like, where I'm from you either say "no thank you" or you come back with an offer of your own. I don't know what planet it's acceptable to publicly declare "they did a shitty job of preparing their offer, so it's their fault that I turned it down." That just seems like pushing the blame for one's own decision on to someone else, rather than just owning it themselves. As I said, there's a number of good options, so it's saddening to see so many choose to pass the buck. Simply repeating a mantra of "it's all Saban's fault" helps nobody. It does zero good. If somebody screws up at your job, do you simply say "it was there fault" and refuse to help solve the problem? I sure hope not. Whether it's your boss, a subordinate, or even somebody outside your company, in the real world you're expected to pitch in to fix it. I don't know what kind of world you live in where it's preferable to sit and pout instead. You keep calling me a kid, but one of these days I hope you'll learn that being a responsible adult means often being responsible for more than just yourself. Okay, so Saban screwed up. We acknowledge that, and the ball is in the actors' court. And they don't have to lift a finger if they don't want to. But they know full well that the Power Rangers fandom is watching. And I'm not trying to guilt trip them into accepting a bad offer, but as a fan, I'm kinda disappointed to see some of them make that choice not to do anything. If even one person was watching me, I'd at least like to show some effort for them.

Society in general would be absolute shit if everyone had your attitude. If everybody just said "That's not my job" or "I don't give a shit if I'm not getting paid to do it" literally nothing would be possible. I'm not blaming the actors for anything, I just think they could be part of the solution. Yet everybody absolutely balks at the idea of the actors ever trying to engage with Saban for a compromise. And I'm the immature one for suggesting it? I don't care what the people around here think of Saban or anything else, but I've always got more respect for someone that tries to address a problem rather than just sitting around whining about it or blaming someone else.

Since you have all the answers, please, go be the mediator and use the precious social media to tell everyone what they should with their lives and the best course of action since, you know, you have it figured out. You go be responsible for having the actors clean up Saban's mess. Go on, be responsible. I hope you get your way. EDIT: I want to add that you do realize that the sentence I bolded is widely the reason the actors aren't going. They're too busy taking care of other people, their families, their lives. The same damn thing I've said since the beginning. They're not worried about running off to play superhero one last time. You've negated yourself. Again. And come full circle. Again. Post editted for abusive language. Last edited by MnemonicSyntax; 05-12-2013 at 10:23 PM.. |

Wasn't going to respond until I got here. I take care of my son and my family, while juggling full time college and work. I know how to take care of people besides myself.

While you've continually tried to make this whole debate about me, you're awfully sensitive yourself. After insulting me in just about every post and then flying into a rage when I point out how much differently the real world works from your version of it, you don't exactly look like the perfectly reasonable one here. It's not like you know the personal schedules and family obligations of every former Power Ranger, so I don't know why you continue to insist that participating or even entertaining the idea of dealing with Saban would amount to an instant abandonment of everyone else in their lives, but that's not any more accurate now than it was the first time you pulled that one.

Hey guys.
I haven't had to give out a single infraction in over a year. I refuse to let it happen today of all days. Agree to disagree and move on. No need to take this onto a total personal level and levy insults back and forth.
