I think after the whole Morphin' Madness debacle, he lost a ton of fans with me being one of them.

That was pretty much when I quit giving a crap about him myself. I see on twitter every now and then people post stupid stuff he does on Instagram, but I just laugh at most of the stupidity.

After hearing all the stories, it just makes me further my belief that Johnny Yong Bosch is my favorite MMPR Ranger and that JDF was overhyped.

Y'know, I'm not a defender of the man but I do find it funny how fickle and easily swayed audiences are.

It's always blown my mind that guys like Mark Whalberg or Downey JR are allowed the careers they have, and the millions they make, despite the pasts they have had. Why should they be forgiven?

Likewise it sounds like JDF is a total dick, and everyone is rallying against him but I almost feel like saying 'who cares?'. I've gotten angry at him at this shit too before I realised that his personal life is none of my business and if you expect the character and the actor to be the same person then you're bound to be disappointed.

And sure he talks a lot of shit, but what celebrity doesn't? Every celebrity strokes and promotes that is just what they do, some are certainly more subtle and generally better than JDF at it but I think considering he's never blinded a veteran or had the police chase him across the state in a drug fuelled haze he's not worth raging over.

And maybe this acceptance that this is "just how it is" is actually the whole problem here but I'm not going to be able to change that.

he does have sound point here, sure JDF may not be perfect but he dose but a lot of energy out to keeps his fans happy. He most likely let his ego go out of control lately but give him time he can still redeem him self

[decepticusprime]

The sad truth is, the fans are the ones that have fed his ego, and perhaps what bothers me most is hearing he is like this and yet a supposed born again(of course who am I to judge a persons faith? lest I be judged) but it would seem to contradict a tattoo he openly has.

[avcprime]

I don't want to meet him, really. When I was a boy I was a fan of his character Tommy, not him. He wants to play a ranger in the new movie, please, this just shows how much he is in it too for the money. He wanted to be an mma fighter and wanted people to forget he was the power ranger, but as soon as his mma career did not take off guess what he is back to the fandom he loves. Leaves a lot to say about him.

[Kamen Rider Meteor]

Can't speak for JDF . Despite my love of Tommy , all of these horror stories of people meeting him and being left with a bad taste in their mouth has made me not want to meet him. I have a spent way too much on Green Ranger merch and have a Green Ranger tattoo on my arm. If he leaves a bad taste in my mouth in any way , I am kinda screwed.

But i can speak for Austin St.John , Walter Jones and Karen Ashley. All 3 of them were incredibly friendly to me and took pictures of my Power Ranger tattoos and complimented my artist and fan dedication. David Yost was kinda eh , but it was a weird situation how i met him. So i don't really have a bad impression , just not a very good one.

You weren't one of the fans that met David in a bathroom were you?
