I’m building a ‘Warrior’ line, where I will go back in history from pre-greek days, as far back as I can,” the actor explained. “I’m gonna have famous quotes from warriors of all ilks, including the terrible ones. Hitler was, you know, a demon on steroids, but he had some pretty good one-liners. So everybody from the great ones to the infamous and terrible ones.”

Ah, creating fake controversy to drum up publicity for your bs, got it.

Hitler wasn’t a warrior. He was a coward.

I mean, far be it from me to defend the guy, but he did fight in the first world war. So technically, I suppose you could say he was a warrior. Don’t know if he saw any actual combat though.

He was wounded by a grenade fragment in 1915 and when the war ended on 11/11/1918, he was in a field hospital, treated for temporary blindness caused by a poison gas attack.

That said, he spent his war as a “Meldegänger”, a messenger. He was not among those in the trenches at the immediate front and had it relatively easy.

It could be fake controversy, or it could be a fake excuse to sell Hitler junk. Maybe it’s both. Either way, sounds like they’re not a very good person.

While it’s not a large market, high quality products featuring hitler quotes have a very dedicated and passionate base that you can guarantee a return on.

Exactly, and if you can portray it as just a coincidence then you can keep selling it without everyone coming against you.

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 who “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.

A movie about the actors who played the Power Rangers would be much more interesting than another Power Rangers movie.

I prefer the original Pork Lips Now. It’s about literal grocery clerks who send a literal errand boy to literally collect on a bill.
