Did they confirm the Legacy Morpher will not be sold outside SDCC?

Not that I know of, but I would be REALLY surprised if they had any left-over after the con.

[SPLIT LIP]

Green Ranger is comparable to Wolverine's popularity in the fandoms?

That's completely unfair and inaccurate. I'm sure there's more actual fans that like Green Ranger than that, and he's not as obnoxiously over-exposed in the fiction.

I wouldn't mind a Green Ranger one-shot. Like a DTD movie or TV special/miniseries. Green Ranger's cool (though I prefer White's costume) and hey, maybe it could help with people who says he's too bland of a character if he had a chance to grow by himself instead of being the after-the-fact ranger.

Also, I've all but sold myself on the Legacy Morpher, but I'd be 100 times more down for a mass release gold morpher for White Ranger.

So if that is the reason I can understand why JDF would be pissed.

The thing is, sometimes they don't have a choice. They're not big name actors, or very good ones. If they can't be paid enough to make ends meet, they need to find other work that does. It's not a form of tantrum, it's "I can't afford my bills doing this, so I need to get a new job."

I'm sure that's not always the case, but not everyone leaves because they're greedy.

Yeah, it's kind of sad that something as... innocent as PR has such crap in the BTS.

He has, and any arrogance he displays I think is just a combination of him over-estimating his popularity (though not by much, plenty of fans DO love him) and him getting really excited about these things because he genuinely seems to love the character and fans. I'm sure he absolutely thinks himself somewhat more important than your avergae anger cats member, but he kind of is.

something makes me think a lot of people would do the exact same thing.

when you're getting paid the same.. but the company and other people are getting paid a lot more.. for something you're staring in can be extremely frustrating.

plus, when it comes to entertainment.. a lot of times it's not about the money, it's about what the money says. it gives you respect, status, all of the things that you've been trying to achieve your entire life.

it's like college football.. the schools are making TONS of money off of players and the players aren't getting paid anything. problem is, they don't really have a choice, whereas actors sometimes do.

anyways. i completely agree that the green ranger could be compared to wolverine.. i'd LOVE to see a tv series or movie based on him though i would like to see the other rangers in it as well.. if only for zord purposes.

There's so much wrong in this thread, I don't know where to begin.

First off, Jason David Frank isn't the "face" of Power Rangers. The Red Ranger helmet is the literal "face" of Power Rangers.

Secondly, Kickback, I highly doubt it's Amy Jo Johnson. She doesn't need to capitalize on anything and "only just came out of the woodwork" because Flashpoint is over and she's moving onto another project. During her time on Flashpoint, she wouldn't have had any time to work on it.

Lastly, Austin St. John left Power Rangers because his mother was ill, not because of financial differences though he did say he would have liked to make more money to help his mother out. This came from him, in an interview from the first Power Morphicon.

The Red Ranger helmet may be the image of the franchise but JDF has become the face of it. Dunno how you can even argue it.

Jason Geiger is also a notorious liar, at least his fellow actors say. He may have said he left because his mother was ill, but we have JDF stating the three wanted more money and Saban chose to go a different direction which started the entire idea from the actors that "if you ask Saban for something, you're going to a peace conference".

I just assumed AJJ because he mentioned "coming out of the woodwork after 20 years" and suddenly needing/wanting your help/social media sharing/money for their stuff because no one else will find their projects. But I also posted "I assume" and not stating it as fact.

Yeah I've ONLY heard of ASJ, Walter Jones and Thuy Trang leaving because of greed, I've never heard this stuff about his mother before but then I try to avoid as much off screen drama as possible as learning that actors are horrible people often impacts my enjoyment of their characters even when I know it shouldn't, this is especially true of when I relate an actor to a single character.

And maybe they did have just cause to leave but all I know is, everyone else stayed until their time was up and as far as I'm aware there was no bitching from them, so based on the evidence it's safe to assume it was their greed rather than Saban's stinginess.
