Can't help to wonder that more people would support this guy's idea if he was not just friendlier, but understanding. Criticism is best taken in good light, cuz from what I read in this thread, there's a larger amount of people not liking this project. Not saying bend to people's will cuz then you're never pleasing everyone, but don't exactly retort rudely.

The MMPR Film is not a topic of discussion that is allowed at RangerBoard or at RangerCrew. Things went south between Dom and RangerBoard, rather notoriously, and RangerCrew ended up shutting down discussion when things got very heated.

THE FOLLOWING IS HERE-SAY. THE INFORMATION ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE SECOND-HAND, AND MOST OF THE DISCUSSIONS ON THIS TOPIC FROM OTHER SITES ARE REMOVED. PLEASE TAKE THE FOLLOWING AS A GRAIN OF SALT - THESE ARE NOT BEING STATED AS FACTS, ONLY AS STICKING POINTS TO THOSE WHO ARE VERY, VERY AGAINST THIS PROJECT.

The points of debate (I do not know reasoning) - that Dom raised more than his goal on the initial KickStarter, then opened a second fundraiser on another website, which irked many of the fans. Another reason was this was promised as a film - it's has now changed in to a "series of web-isodes". Third was a revelation from a college buddy of Dom that stated that he is only in this for exposure and for what he hopes is an eventual payday, that he decided to use "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" because the franchise has picked up popularity lately and he hopes to cash in on the nostalgia. An interview with Morphin Legacy had Dom answer the question about haters in which he stated (paraphrasing) - "They don't bug me. They're going to watch it either way." Then a report came out that the actors of the film were going to hospitals and telling disabled kids they were the Power Rangers (which, technically, they aren't).

Now - I tried to initiate an interview with Dom a long time ago. I was ignored. Don Money, who is really a great guy with a good heart (and posts here), set me up directly with Dom for an interview. There has been no contact since then, and that was a couple of months ago.

I want to give Dom a chance to address some of the negativity that's been cast upon him and this project in an unbiased and professional manner. Everyone deserves the right to defend themselves against accusations on their character. I want to like this project - the crew involved seem like really awesome people who love to interact with the community. And I would love to be able to promote their work with clear conscience. But before I can do that I need, and I think the community needs, some of those questions answered.

So here's to hoping
