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.

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.

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.

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.
