    I saw him at a convention not even a month ago. Man, this really hits.

    It goes without saying this news f**kin sucks. And it's another example of how you can never tell who's fighting their inner struggles. And it's none of our place to speculate as why or what.

    My heart goes out to Jason's friends and family at a time like this. And to *anyone* who may see this news and struggle with thoughts of their own, know there is help.

    In the US, dial 988 for the Suicide Prevention Hotline.

    When a spark ignites, There is great joy.


    When a spark goes out, The universe weeps.

    Rest in peace Jason

    Damn, he must have not been that old...
    I honestly don\'t even remember who Emissary was. That was the name of Cerebros/ Spike maybe? Of course I knew him as Jason.

    Emissary is the titan master for Cerebros from the Titans Return Fort Max. So a replacement for the original figure's Spike.

    The year 1994, watching power rangers on tv, before there was even a green ranger on tv I said I was the green ranger, green was my favorite color, still is, me and my friends would pick colors that hadn't been used by show, so when a green ranger turned up I was over the moon, everyone of my childhood friends where angry at the time, in an instant that week I became the villian, then when he turned hero things changed again.

    For context I'm in New Zealand power rangers took a weebit to get here.

    Honestly this one hurts

    Man, this is such a shame. I loved this show growing up, it holds such fond memories to me. RIP Jason, you’ll be missed.

    And FWIW I can empathise with this, as someone who constantly suffers these thoughts (even tried it earlier this week, not that anyone else knows - I actually post pretty regularly here, & have done for years; I just don’t want people to know this about me) I know just what he’s going through.

    RIP.

    I like Tommy. The character means a lot to me. I know a lot of people got tired of him always appearing, and I get that too. JDF wasn't a perfect man, and he definitely had his hatedom (/m/ comes to mind), but this is an awful way for him to go.

    Oh, tragic to hear. The Dino Thunder season was the main season of PR I used to watch as a kid.

    Condolences to his friends and family.

    That's unexpected, rest in peace. He was the only cool thing about Power Rangers with his Dragonzord.

    Kevin Conroy is dead? :(

    I loved the Green Ranger arcs, and Dino Thunder was the only post-In Space series I watched. This just fucking hurts. We never know what others struggle with, do we. :(  RIP.

    I was already working on a tribute to Kevin Conroy and upon hearing of Jason David Frank, I drew this...

    Rest in peace to both of them.
