My friends and I were discussing earlier how being a Power Ranger seems to be a curse, between gay bashing behind the scenes, oddly high rates of death by cancer, former rangers going crazy and stabbing people to death...

Now Hitler quotes

The fuck is up with Power Rangers? Is it a cursed role or something?

I mean given how absolutely unlikely that a "teenagers with attitude" martial arts children's show, not just based off, but using existing Japanese footage became one of the most successful franchises of the 90s and continues on until today... Maybe this is some weird monkey's paw shit...

I recently found out Saban is a Zionist billionaire and not just a person making kids shows.

Also power ranger actors are a step above child actors... Essentially no names for whom this is their "big break", who then "retire" into making yearly appearances at the power rangers convention. Yeah I'm not surprised when one goes crazy.

Seconded for Haim Saban being a piece of shit. I'd like to add that Austin St John, Walter Jones and Thuy Trang were fired for asking for more money. They were essentially making minimum wage while being the stars of one of the biggest children's shows of the 90s.

From what I understand, Yost was wanting to walk as well, but was worried that Saban or another coworker would out him in retaliation.
