And that’s basically it!
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 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.
So someone should have shot the messenger.
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.
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.
A movie about the actors who played the Power Rangers would be much more interesting than another Power Rangers movie.
Pink Ranger staying #1 forever and always
My first celebrity crush and she continues to not disappoint
shades
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
The expressions "throw shade", "throwing shade", or simply "shade", are slang terms for a certain type of insult, often nonverbal. Journalist Anna Holmes called shade "the art of the sidelong insult". Merriam-Webster defines it as "subtle, sneering expression of contempt for or disgust with someone—sometimes verbal, and sometimes not"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throw_shade
Its been used for hundreds of years mate, get with the times.
Thanks for that!
I'm not from the US, and the usage from the 1800s was "to throw a shade on", and all the other usages on Wikipedia's article are from the 1980's and later. I don't think it's fair to say it's been used for hundreds of years.
The 2015 popularization sounds about right for when I first started hearing "throwing shade", but this is legitimately my first time seeing "shades" used like this in its own.
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.
"Hitler was, you know, a demon on steroids, but he had some pretty good one-liners."
Wtaf
that's a very interesting "hobby"
I saw power rangers many years later and was amazed at how horrible it was. Why did we ever think this was fun?
Sick 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.
cause 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.
This is just bizarre
