RIP Thuy Trang :(

I should be playing Zelda or something but I'm watching Power Rangers. Or was until the stream stopped!

Think I'll bail once the Alien Ranger BS starts and tune back in after. God. I really hated the Alien Ranger/kid arc so much as a child. Complete trash! But I loved the ninja powers and Ninjor. He was dope.

I was just googling Thuy Trang earlier this morning & saw those pictures. Man, she was taken too soon. :( I was in love with Kimberly as a kid, so I never realized how pretty Trini was as well.

Same.

Everyone in the OG group was hot. No wonder the show did so well, we all found our first crushes while watching.

The actress for Trini passed away?

That saddens me GAF, ow...

A few days before 9/11 in a car crash.

The whole original cast was at her funeral except for the actor that played Tommy. His brother died a couple months earlier and he was apparently in a bad place for a while mentally.

What a shitty time for those guys.

These guys made more money for Saban than the new movie will and they got paid scraps.

They really did man. If Saban did what they were supposed to do. All of them would have still been making money off of this show with merch and syndication.


Well this probably gives me a chance to get a shower in real quick.

Merchandising for the show was making billions and the actors were working 12-16 hours a day 6 days a week and getting paid a bit more than minimum wage, apparently. And then got fired for asking for more.

For some reason, Kat just never sat well with me. It wasn't that she was replacing Kimberly, she just didn't fit in my young mind

Kat felt like Kimberly-lite, and Adam and Rocky were super vanilla.

Plus, the racial diversity of the original time was more impressive for the eye, after the change, most of the team was white

wtf, yeah this was on purpose right? so they did pay tribute to the old cast with this break?

Pretty awesome if true.

Yes, I admit I avoid hearing the behind the scenes of my favorite live shows, there's usually sadness or conflicts.

Might as well learn of those things today of my childhood show the Power Rangers.
 
Oh no a repeat

I wouldn't go there. Lost an asian and black actor but got an asian, black, and latino actor in return. :p
