Teaser synopsis:

Obviously, we have to wait and see till the actual special drops but I'm weary by the info that's come out about it so far. I'm very torn on drawing upon Thuy Trang's real life death to inform her PR character. This goes for all shows that do so. It's a very thin line between honoring the dearly departed and exploiting them.

Considering Trini Kwan is one of my favourite Rangers in the franchise, as well as being my favourite Yellow Ranger, I can't help but feel a twinge of dread. Especially since it's implied this special takes place in the present day....and it's been almost ten years since the Legendary Battle.

I'm open to the idea of this special blowing me away, but given Hasbro's current track record and what we know so far, plus the fact that we just lost Jason David Frank, you'll forgive me if I say that I have a very bad feeling about this.

Given that it's been 5 years, the implications of this worrisome summary, the uncertainty of Cosmic Fury, and the video that was recently shared in the "JDF Has Passed Away" Thread, I have to admit that this will be year that decides it all.

2023 will answer the question: will Hasbro sell the franchise!? 2023 may also answer another uncomfortable (albeit less likely) question: will Power Rangers come to a sudden end!?

I believe in the possibility of the former rather than the latter.

All that said, I NEVER want Saban to have a hand in direct ownership...EVER AGAIN!!!

And the worst part? I saw it all coming from a mile away.

I hope Universal gets their hands on it.

At this point, I can't see them doing any worse than Hasbro.

What are you guys talking about? Are there signs of Hasbro selling pr?

No, people are just scared for the future of the franchise given everything that's been piling up ever since Hasbro bought the rights. Not just the perceived quality of the seasons themselves but also how Hasbro has treated its relationship with fans, the rumors of breaking off from Toei, and now most recently the news that broke on how Hasbro was essentially trying to steal/kill off JDF's' "White Dragon" passion project. So understandably, fans are very weary of the near future.

I'm surprised that Jason isn't returning.
