⚡️ Tommy's LAST Morph into a Power Ranger! @morphinshorts ​

[@mikey724]

Old man Tommy wouldve been the peak of power rangers damn still saddened by the lost jason frank

[@XmrcaptainbobX]

My partner made a big deal of seeing him at gencon. She was embarrassed but he called her over and gave her free stuff. He passed that year. Cant imagine what his life was like. Seemed genuine and easy going.

[@itfigurescomics6704]

Yeah.. 😢😢😢 💚🤍❤️🖤

[@Anthonydavis65]

I met him back in 2013 at my very first convention my friend took me when we were in Philly for it that's where I bought my first figuart of the white ranger from MMPR he signed it and got a photo with him glad I decided to meet him

[@Cole205]

Sad we'll never get a movie version of this

[@delinquents00]

It’s hard for me to even read the comics knowing he’s gone.

[@LeonMooky]

@@delinquents00 I know how you feel 😢

[@delinquents00]

@@LeonMooky I got to meet him at a con in 2016. Such a genuinely nice person. I gave him a little Dragonzord keychain I made and he gave me every poster he had on his table, signed them, took pictures, and didn’t charge me a dime. Said, “you brought me something, man. So I’m giving you something.” He liked my green/white fused morpher so much that he asked if he could use it for the next couple pictures. He took like five with it and handed it back.

[@blazesaber1383]

We still could get a movie, but it would never be as good without Jason David Frank.

[@casellpeterson7424]

​@@delinquents00me too it still hurts to this day

[@Tiger-makhulu]

This would have made for a high quality power rangers movie. Good writing, grit ,exploration and heart. They could create animated movies which would allow classic rangers to still exist

[@namarg815]

Sad he's not here to make a live action anymore That guy was my childhood

[@Tiger-makhulu]

@namarg815 I think jdf wanted to take power rangers to the next level but hasbro dosnt which is why he decided to make his own movie

[@namarg815]

@@Tiger-makhulu true jdf could have taken power rangers to a new heights but instead we got boring and repetitive power rangers

[@JamesRobinson-z3c]

The Master Morpher has to be one of the coolest things ever.

Rest in piece jdf

May the power protect you… Always Tommy. R.I.P. J.D.F.

[@b3ans4eva]

You didn’t mention the mean facial hair he grew over those 20 years.

[@MB-te9xw]

The school is shutting down its science department? What kind of bs is that

[@uchecuhkwudaniel7673]

Cost-cutting bs that greedy overseers pull.

Have you seen our educational system lately? Cuts are made all over...

[@Kylel0519]

Probably just cutting chunks of funding and he was one the highest paid teachers so they let him go

[@horrorking1000]

Rest in Peace brother

[@Wolftron-k3e]

Wait, hold on guys this means is that Power Rangers SPD doesn’t take place in a separate universe

[@Cole205]

Everything is a separate universe. Until it isn't.

[@alexandernix9681]

I feel like up tell magafores is when they did the split

[@thetrocch365]

Well considering they had two crossovers with the dino team and it was explained as time travel both times it was never a separate universe

[@immapotato1]

only in this version

[@CorpoHawkWasabi]

Not at all.

[@GrandTheFirst]

Idk why but this reminds me of the movie logan

[@jacobmillenbach2561]

I have that book and it was so I can keep the memory of Jason David frank alive

[@whunt5533]

Which is 100% not what tommy would've done

[@SamSun300z]

JDF is the GOAT❤😢

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

Imagine your master morpher (on your front side) breaks from a back injury lmao Edit: obviously not a joke at the expense of JDF, just pointing out the continuity flub, rest in peace, and may the power protect you Mr. Frank

[@henrysullivan6341]

I would've figured it cracked due the strain of trying to absorb or mitigate fatal damage. That or he got hit in the front too since in that panel part of the helmet or visor was damaged

[@JamesRobinson-z3c]

Concussive force can be deadly. You can be a good distance from something like an explosion and have your organs turned into liquid from the concussive force of the shockwave.

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

@@JamesRobinson-z3c yeah but I’m taking the space tech not his back, that’s fair

[@JamesRobinson-z3c]

@@gabrieldevoogel6225 I understand I was suggesting that the kinetic force traveled through his body and damaged the Master Morpher. And of course the damage to the mother could’ve happened earlier in the fight which is why he took so much damage from the attack to his back.

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

@@JamesRobinson-z3c I mean maybe, I just wish it was more concrete, like the morpher was slashed when he was thrown back, or got impaled on a piece of cliff and broke partially, and why does it break worse than Adam’s from the OG show? Is that cliff canonically stronger then zedd by default now because it broke a morpher worse and ended up destroying five power coins lmao, obviously this is all mostly joking at this point but you get my point

[@sarascrambles3707]

So wait, he simultaneously got tenure and got fired? That makes literally no sense

[@LittleAl016]

He wasn't fired. He was laid off via department shutdown. There's a difference.

[@sarascrambles3707]

​@@LittleAl016 that makes sense. I was just going off of what they said in the video

[@Wolftron-k3e]

Put what about the modern power, rangers series, power, rangers samurai Dino, thunder and beast Morphers

[@DullyPrimary]

I imagine they also retired entrusting SPD to do everything as it is a galaxy wide organization.

[@rykerhoppe4789]

Different universe than show

Where can I read this???

[@chrissangenette6359]

Really he ends up with Kat and not Kimberly wtf.

I'm guessing you didn't watch the last two anniversary specials

@@souleblade32790 no ibtched Mmpr and Dino thinder and both movies.

[@benchipman453]

More like 30 years. 20 years after the events of Dino Thunder would be 2024. SPD takes place in 2025, and because sky is now SPD earth supreme commander, this has to take place later than the events of SPD.

[@Christina-dz5qf]

He would have never married Kat. He always loved Kimberly. Also R.I.P JDF

[@BaronSengir1008]

Tommy and Kat has always been canon...

[@MMZERO9]

What Tommy and Kim had was special, but that didn’t mean the latter was Tommy’s soulmate. As my own parents taught me from their own experience, sometimes the one you’re meant for is the one you least expect. To coin a Spider-Man phrase, Katherine was the Mary-Jane to Tommy’s Peter Parker.

@@BaronSengir1008 course i did lol did you watch MMPR ? or zero ? or even turbo ? at what point did tommy have an interest in dinosaurs - he didn’t even have a dinosaur in mmpr. doesn’t add up. saw a thing was they wanted him for ninja storm maybe as the instructor ? that would have made alll the sense in the world

[@BaronSengir1008]
