NightOwlAmy Jo Johnson shades 'Power Rangers' costar Austin St. John for selling t-shirts with Hitler quotes
M500Title is a bit misleading. He recognizes that hitler was evil. He just wants to take quotes from the good and the bad and put them on t-shirts.
treadfulIf you’re walking around with a shirt with a Hitler quote on it, I’m gonna assume you’re a nazi.
FuglyDuckand we all know what we do with nazis.
It’s morphin time
kindenoughElect them?
i am from a timeline we shaved their heads.
Punch them.
Shaving heads requires shears….and don’t really want to carry shears around,
chemical_cutthroatIf I get to use them on a Nazi I think I can find room in my EDC.
FartsWithAnAccentBest I can do is some dull safety scissors, this is going to take a while.
MinnesotaGoddamIf I’m taking the time to carry around shears I’m doing a lil snipping
I’m not a Hitler supporter and I don’t think the actor is either. I think he just didn’t think about what he was doing. He even denounced Hitler in the article.
snooggumsThe title is 100% accurate, she is responding to the thing he is doing. It doesn’t matter what he thinks about Hitler if he is putting Hitler quotes on shirts.
I didn’t say it was inaccurate, I said it was misleading. I’m not a Hitler supporter and I don’t think the actor is either. I think he just didn’t think about what he was doing. He even denounced Hitler in the article.
If you had read further than just the title you would’ve also seen this:
As of publication, no merchandise with Hitler quotes is featured on St. John’s website. A rep for the actor did not immediately respond to EW’s request for comment.
It’s literally not 100% accurate. He is not selling the shirts…as of yet.
This is just a fact check, not a defense of Idiot Ranger.
Austin is that you? I thought I could smell shit…
Your edit is a bad take. It doesn’t matter if he’s also selling shirts with MLK quotes. Nazi shit is Nazi shit. Doing Nazi shit makes literally everything else he does irrelevant.
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.
He was a world champion Hitler assassin
Well shit, you got em there.
When you’re right, you’re right.
“It turns out the only one kräftig enough to kill me… is me!” (*proceeds to splatter brain all over the bunker wall)
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’s a warrior.
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.
So someone should have shot the messenger.
British soldier allegedly spares the life of an injured Adolf Hitler
On September 28, 1918, in an incident that would go down in the lore of World War I history—although the details of the event are still unclear—Private Henry Tandey, a British soldier serving near the French village of Marcoing, reportedly encounters a wounded German soldier and declines to shoot him, sparing the life of 29-year-old […]
If you want to shine like the sun, you have to burn first.
Carighan MaconarTechnically not correct, you have to undergo exothermic fusion which is not the same.
Tell that to Hitler.
He already underwent rapid cranial disassembly.
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.
I thought Tommy was the White Power Ranger?
You win
Oh! …oh…Oh!
Wow. I get it now.
Holy shit 11/10.
A movie about the actors who played the Power Rangers would be much more interesting than another Power Rangers movie.
Apeman42“Ever seen Hearts of Darkness? Way better than Apocalypse Now.”
No, thanks for the recommendation though.
I haven’t either, lol. It’s just a semi-related quote from the show Community.
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.
DocMcStuffinEver see the Authorized Bootleg Universe?
POWER/RANGERS UNAUTHORIZED [BOOTLEG UNIVERSE]
I saw power rangers many years later and was amazed at how horrible it was. Why did we ever think this was fun?
THCDentonSick guitar solos and giant robots?
Tbf the face actors were probably the weakest part of the show (excluding Zordon, ironically)
Imagine having to portray every emotion using nothing but the varying frenzy of your arm wavings.
That would probably be because they hired martial artists to act instead of teaching actors to do martial arts. For better or worse I respect their decision. Even if Haim Saban is a homophobic Zionist piece of shit.
A_Random_Idiotcause we were dumb kids and had the power of imagination.
Now we’re adults with failing health, beaten down by life and full of regret, and we cast a longing eye back to our better days and can only see the flaws,as we have long since lost the wonder.

When readers hate the word “slams”, but you still need a word that fits the same role.
“Shades” means protecting something from the sun. Isn’t there a better word that doesn’t mean “protects”? Lol
Well slamming means closing a door so it also means protects.
It is, unfortunately, a property of the English language that every word means everything.
Slamming means closing something hard. It has an exclusively negative connotation unless you’re talking about sex, I guess.
Slam dunk
Good point! Not protecting, but definitely a positive connotation.
