There go my heroes…
I’ve been trying to find the right words to say about these tragic passings. It’s hard. I imagine a lot of people these past few weeks have had a similar dilemma trying to formulate their thoughts, trying to express their grief for these two huge losses.
Now, I think it’s my turn.
Growing up, & I imagine a few people will relate, I was bullied. I was made fun of for my weight, my love of reading (I’m not kidding) & my love of things that, when I was a kid, most girls didn’t like. This included the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, wrestling, & certain TV shows. Included in that regard was Batman: The Animated Series (& later Batman Beyond) & Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (& several later versions, of course).
Let’s start with Batman. I watched a LOT of BTAS & Batman Beyond growing up. I’m amazed I didn’t drive my mother crazy with it, honestly. I probably wouldn’t have cared regardless, given how deep my love for the shows ran. Obviously I loved the stories, the fight scenes, & the characters but, of course, the standout of the show was Kevin Conroy’s incredible performance as Batman/Bruce Wayne. He gave the character emotion & depth that made his portrayal of the Dark Knight the all-time best. Most will agree that Conroy’s Batman is one of the best, and that includes myself. His repeated portrayals of Batman were all amazing, but that original performance remains the greatest in my eyes. It helped shaped my childhood & made me feel better when I was having a bad day. It also helped me become braver when it came to dealing with my bullies. I will be eternally grateful for that.
Tumblr media
Now for the Green Ranger. Well, also the White Ranger, the Red Ranger (twice) & the Black Ranger. To say that Jason David Frank was the definitive Power Ranger is a hell of an understatement. He’s a legend in the Power Ranger franchise & for damn good reason. His love for the franchise & its fans was clear, as he always seemed so happy to meet fans & hear about their own love for the Rangers. I first was introduced to JDF’s Tommy Oliver on MMPR as a kid, & he instantly became my favorite Ranger (besides Kimberly, the Pink Ranger). I watched the following series that he was in until I fell off the Ranger train for a while. Until Dino Thunder started airing on Jetix (oof, there’s a throwback). I couldn’t believe that Tommy was back as a school teacher & mentor to the new Rangers, but it was awesome to see him back. Of course, it only got better when he became the Black Dino Ranger. I was so happy my favorite character was back & kicking butt again, & I watched Dino Thunder repeatedly because of it. I always loved how strong Tommy was, & it encouraged me to be stronger too. When I lost my grandmother & cousin back in 2010 & 2011, respectively, I found myself rewatching Power Rangers, because I felt I needed to draw from their strength to help me feel better. Of course, I mostly drew from Tommy’s strength & it helped a lot. Just like with Conroy’s Batman helping me, I will be eternally grateful for JDF’s Tommy helping me too.
Tumblr media
Sadly, I never got the chance to meet JDF or Kevin Conroy, so I never got to tell them about how much their characters helped me. Now is my chance. Gentlemen, thank you so much for helping shape my childhood. You helped make me feel better on bad days, you helped me deal with my grief when I lost my loved ones, & you helped me become a better person. No words will ever be able to fully describe how grateful I am for everything you did for me & many, many others. Rest easy, both of you. You will never be forgotten.
RIP Kevin Conroy - 11/30/1955 - 11/10/2022 🖤💛
RIP Jason David Frank - 9/4/1973 - 11/19/2022 💚🤍♥️♥️🖤

Being a scrawny and weird 5-year-old boy sucked. I went to a school I hated, got beat up by other kids and dealt with issues no kid that age should have to deal with. Not to say it was always miserable and that I didn’t have a *few* people to talk to and call “friends”, but for the most part, I learned at a very early age to go it alone. 
My best memories from that time period was coming home to our house by the river, turning on the T.V and watching Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers and Batman: The Animated Series on Fox Kids. Two separate worlds I could get lost in. Two worlds where anything could happen and two worlds where evil never triumphed. The villains and monsters always got their due and the bad guys never won.
Then I’d go outside, and pretend to be those heroes. I’d go to the river bank by our house, and practice my karate and crime fighting skills on trees. Using nearby sticks that served as my weapons, I’d strike the branches, kick at the roots with loud “HI-YAH”s, and strike at the river water that always gave way to whatever impact I introduced to it. 
At the end of the day, I know that these are fairy-tales and myths made simply to pass the time but when you come home daily from an unforgiving world, they mean so much more. 
Kevin Conroy and Jason David Frank were voices and faces of those times. They were talented human beings blessed enough to turn their passions to careers, but their passions inspired hope and bravery for those of us too little to fight our villains head-on like we wanted. They helped shape a world where good could win. Those stories kept me going and let me know I could survive another day of school, another day of getting beat-up, and verbally torn up. 
Rest In Peace guys. Thank you for being there.

Film after film: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (dir. Frank Oz, 1987)

I saw this film as a child and didn't remember how effortlessly funny it was. Headly is a scene-stealer in what could otherwise seem like a display of the comic bravado of Caine and Martin. Her last-scene heavily-accented return is a peak of how her character is smartly developed from a possible victim of both "scoundrels" to a fascinating mastermind. The scene of Caine mercilessly whipping Martin's fake-paralyzed legs is one of the funniest scenes ever. Harris, Conroy, and Ivey have pleasant one-two-scene cameos.
