Power Rangers Reunion Goes KA-POW After Blue Ranger Snubs It Over Abuse!

power rangers reunion not happening

No, no Power Rangers!

Although it'd be a total dream come true, a Power Rangers reunion ain't on the menu!

But a whole lotta dissing is being served up!

After executives tried to get the original cast to reunite for an episode of Power Rangers Megaforce, one of our fave heroes from back in the day put the kibosh on the possibility.

David Yost or as we all really know him, the Blue Power Ranger, apparently flat out refused to take part after enduring horrible timez on set in the past.

As an openly gay actor, he suffered verbal abuse from various people on set as he has claimed in the past that producers called him the f-word. He eventually quit the show in 1996 due to this, and it sounds like he wants to stay done with the show!

Buuuut…that might not quite be the case!

While that has been the report going around, David recently tweeted somewhat of a different explanation:

Megaforce=No 4 me. They lost me when the offer started "Dear Power Ranger" & had several grammatical errors. #donewithabusiverelationships

Never spoke w/@tmz on any matter. They make it sound as if I did. If they knew me they would know forgiveness is key. #stillapainintheass

Sooo, no reunion because of the letter or abuse??

We hate all this crypticness!

Just tell us, should we return that Power Ranger suit we bought for a possible Power Rangers reunion viewing party?

Not a single correct article on what happened, the only one who would be willing to do this is the green, the others likely said no for other reasons

Good for him & fuck those clowns who abused him in the past! I knew I loved the blue ranger for a reason! Glad to know I saw a role model in without knowing the real deal while growing up.

So many mistakes in this article. It's a Power Rangers reunion. That includes all 20 seasons. Not just David's seasons. Also it's still happening.

I heard that the original yellow ranger passed away in a car accident

This article is so fail, Saban has been trying to get a lot of former power rangers from the past seasons to appear, not just the original 5, and the other originals are likely to turn down the offer as well (the yellow ranger died long time ago so this isn't even possible). Fans asked David if he would return and he said no and gave his reasons, some of the others have also done so for various reasons.

Things have come around a lot since those days. He should consider it, as a better and alternate experience could help him put it to rest in a better way mentally. The coin might be good, too. Forgiveness is more for him than for the offenders, and the crew would likely be completely different. Go in for a positive experience instead, and shed those old ghosts.
