      I dont know if Austin st John would agree but I for one definitely appreciate his dedication to the franchise.
      I enjoyed him coming back for Dino-Thunder and paying fan service with the Master Morpher.
      JDF always made himself available for the show and even independent fan films, which is amazing. Imagine doing a marvel superhero fan fic and Robert Downey Jr agree to have a few scenes in your own personal superhero story.
      Hollywood is a hard place to grow up and personalities will often clash but some actors do it for themselves, others do it for us, the fans.
      JDF got up every day and was always available to do something for us. He was trying to make it in MMA for himself but never left his fans behind. Always came back when you called, if you needed him.
      May the power protect you JDF

      that time? only the 2 game boy games i played back to back my girlfriend to. 4 or 5 times
      even the super nes game where you have to put a password in to unlock green was epic.
      scool brawls in the past and the teacher forbid people to watch the series because of that. 7 people beaded up everyone untill someone had enough of it. boom. never ever again the words power rangers was spoken.
      those people watched it then at home. and those people became my best friends and i have still contact with them. 1 of them was the first that says: yo the green one has died. i was like what? are you serious?
      yeah the person that blows on his sword to summon dragonzord in the series. and then it hit me.
      it was during curfew that we come together and watch all through mmpr and still do. that player was great no, epic.

    For us who grew up on power rangers. Millennials. All of this hits in a weird way that I cant explain. Or expected. I feel this sense that we have to carry the torch. The torch of doing what's right in the face of hard truths. Having to protect and educate the generation coming after us, as their generation did for us. They entertained us. Made us laugh. Made us feel like we belonged. Taught us about friendship. Love. Loss. Unity. As we got older, we began to discover who we were. Where we fit into this parade that is life. We had ups and downs. Went into separate directions. And, for many of us, we forgot our purpose. We forgot we weren't alone. I won't forget, Susie Q, the lessons your generation shared with us. The sacrifices that it took to be in the public eye. To have the pressure of so many people looking to you all for the answers on where to belong. I'm sorry I didnt wake up sooner. I'm sorry I never said thank you. Jason, I won't say RIP. May you stay as wild as the wind. I hope you're living out your next life in the wildest fantasies that only a child can dream.

      I remember that moment too. For me the finale of the green ranger 5-part saga as well as the "white light" episode were huge chapters in the story. No other television series at the time had me so hopelessly ensnared as my young self had never been that emotionally invested in the characters that the show brought before us. JDF played a really big part in my childhood since I looked up to him as the older brother I never had but always wanted to have, as well as the keeper of the green power coin, wielder of Saba, and even going on to become Zeo ranger 5. The guy had such an amazing run in the series and brought so much life energy to the show. He really did leave a lasting impression on all of us and was a true hero to fans everywhere. He will be missed greatly.

    Never was a Power Rangers fan, but my heart grieves for the loss here of those who did care. Add to this the loss of Kevin Conroy, and it’s been a rough month for 90’s kids.

    My thoughts and prayers are with Amy right now because she will miss her best friend.

    I heard about MMPR one day in 2nd grade and I went home that day and watched it and I WAS HOOKED!! It was such a big part of my life back then. I remember having the "Green With Evil" episodes on tape and also getting The Green Ranger Kata video for Christmas, along with 500 other types of MMPR toys. Tommy was the first superhero I remember watching as a kid. This is heartbreaking news. Thanks for being my hero, JDF 💔

      Yeah Green Ranger was awesome especially around 1994 or 95 when he turned into the white Ranger that was insane! So awesome for 5 year Olds. I was one of them too. GO GO POWER RANGEERRSS!

    When your in a neurotic state you have reactions to situations that seem extreme or unreasonable to people with a healthy mind and I believe with all my heart he simply made a mistake that he unfortunately couldn’t take back. I truly feel the world has lost someone more important than most realize. He taught so many of us to be tenacious and brave.
