So they basically rigged the results to put JDF ahead? We 'haters' are punished for supporting Rangers other than his and his true fan cheating battalion takes home the win?

Bandai go fuck yourself. Saban go fuck yourself. JDF go fuck yourself. Anybody involved in this "reset/justice" please go fuck yourself.

It's Death in the Family all over again. Only us fans are Jason Todd, and JDF has the crowbar.

Of course the guy who openly condoned, supported, and enabled a cheat of the system isn't reprimanded in any way shape or form. And the rest of us just get the big middle finger. I'm sick to death of these so called "true" fans.

Do they really think that reversing the ballots is gonna make people happier? Maybe the minority. Do they think that people like us are just gonna take this lying down?

They're damn wrong if they think we are. Even if BoA is against us, I won't stop supporting the underdog rangers. They deserve our love way more than any of JDF's rangers and it's time we stand up for them and prove that you can't keep us down.

1.) I am slowly considering becoming a Sentai Purist (with still some lover for Titanium Ranger and Phantom Ranger)

2.) Any and all MMPR merchandise has been removed from my shelves.

I get you're upset, we are all, but that might be a little extreme :lol

Ok, let me rephrase that. Any and all TOMMY merchandise has been removed from my shelves.

Yeah, just remove the Green Ranger merch. :P

No, but while this is unfortunate, I've decided not to give up...I can only hope everyone else here doesn't either. Trent, Trey and Andros need us now more than ever.

Much more reasonable.

At least Titanium is still winning. Let's get Phantom Ranger and RJ back to winning, and I may become happy again

Plus, unless another Ranger actor shows up to Dallas Comic-Con Fan Days in October, I may not be going to that. At least the main one in May has the underdog of all underdogs: Steve Cardenas, a.k.a. Rocky the Red Ranger.

I hope at least some people come out of this having learned what a sad, insecure, little man he is.

JDF couldn't get ahead legitimately, by bribery, or by cheating. So, in the end, he went crying to Bandai/Saban and they rolled over to protect the ego of their golden calf.

It's pathetic that one man can effectively hijack the entire Power Rangers franchise to bolster up his own self-worth. It's bad form on a personal and business front and I will be damned if BOA or Saban brands gets a nickel of my money or a minute of my time after this underhanded and disdainful (of their customer base) action.

I'ma just call my Green Ranger Burai and leave it at that :lol

Ah yes, the old "switched at birth" trope.

Oh, the guy who got killed by a candle :lol

Burai is a better character anyway and his actor isn't an ego stroking jackass, so good call. :lol

He can't be since he's retired from acting IIRC :lol

... So, what you're saying is JDF convinced Bandai to switch the poll results of the Rangers so that all of his forms that are still in the tournament are winning against their opponents. That's sad, but not the end of the—

*Sees Trent is losing.*

... This just became personal.

Jason David Frank, whatever your contributions to the franchise may have been, you no longer deserve to be a Power Ranger. Say what you will about how trite the series and its morals can be, but a Ranger never cheats. A Ranger always pulls through by their own strength and volition. What we have hear is a very infantile tactic to achieve an end that will probably be fairly irrelevant in the future. Shame on you, JDF, for such childish behavior; and shame on you, Bandai, for being so complacent.

That explains why he didn't come back for Kyoryuger vs Go-Busters. Oh well, still, it's nice to know that Japan doesn't have a crazy egotistical Green Ranger.

Well. Crap. That's it. But I also think they changed more than just Tommy's matches.

• Trini is beating Udonna
• Time Force Red is slightly above Jungle Fury Wolf
• They changed Titanium so it's more closer
• A certain Green Samurai is now beating our Phantom (delivers Plutonium to BOA)
• RPM Gold now has no chance

How in the world is Troy a better character than Gem? Say what you will about Gem, but at least he had a child-like charm to him. Troy barely has anything.

We can still pull through, KRX. JDF can't hold a burning green candle up to Trent.

#DragoTrumpsTiger

ugh

Great. Now we need to promote Phantom Ranger even more. TO THE WMM!!

This fucking sucks.

Udonna was down by 12% when I last voted this morning. Trini's been winning for at least a day.
Titanium was also only ahead by about 3% last I saw.
And RPM Gold has been down since day one (Like, seriously. Ever since round 2 started, RPM Gold has been losing).

The rest are news to me, however.

Sadly, Bandai will continue this sort of behavior as long as they have the finances to back up whatever they do.

If you really want to make a difference in the way Power Rangers is handled, then vote with dollars- not Keys.

I can guarantee they won't be getting any of my money in the relative future.

They won't be getting my money. I don't have any.

And Mighty Morphin Red winning I've no problem with. Austin's new fanpage has been pushing for him by asking people to vote, not by asking them to cheat for the promises of autographs, so if he wins I'm good.

Business ethics is probably a foreign concept around the BOA offices.

One side discourages cheating at every turn and the other advocates it when he realizes he can't win without it. Which side is penalized when it comes down to it?

I am, just a tad, bitter about this whole thing. One of my biggest pet peeves is people who feel entitled to take what they want because of who they are and whine until they get it, without earning it. Especially when they pass over people who may be far more deserving of that goal.

The handling of this situation has been insulting at best.

I can't believe that this happening over one actor being peeved about the votes. Its one guy! Sure its the "face" of Power Rangers but its not like sales were going to plummet over tommy not being one of the five keys. t's just stupid and a betrayal to all the fans

Wow. That's it. BoA has done a lot of shitty stuff with their toys but this just goes to far. WHAT ON EARTH ARE THEY THINKING?

Wow. I am actually speachless about this. I mean..just...wow Bandai.

They weren't thinking. Not one bit.

And unsurprisingly, I can't seem to find the post where JDF tells his fans to outright cheat.

Has anyone saved an image of that or something? I think we should show it everywhere and send it BoA's way.

Hang on. All is not as it seems.

I'm reading this and feel as though I missed something, or maybe I'm not understanding. Because me. But are they rigging votes or is this because JDF encouraged people to cheat?

Apparently BOA took a good chunk of the Votes away from all Rangers that were paired against Tommy Rangers.

I really hope its neither of those but i'm afraid it might be the latter

This should surprise me more than it should.
