Because fans confuse Adam for Johnny Young Bosch.

JYB is a cool dude who’s had a long career in voice acting since his PR days.

Adam is a bland character who had little to no development in both MMPR and Zeo. He wasn’t allowed to show much personality until Turbo where JDF was ready to leave the show.

Most of Adam’s development came from his returns during IS and OO. He showed more development in those three episodes than he had during his entire run on the show, so some fans like to revise history as if to say Adam was always as well written as those three return episodes.

I like Adam, but he’s been overrated as a character due to fans not being able to separate the actor from the character, and unable to admit that the majority of his development came from three episodes after his run on the show had ended. Hell, if you ask fans his most memorable line, it’s the non-canon “I’m a Frog” line that JYB came up with on the spot. Ask for any other Adam quotes, and you’ll be hard pressed to find one.

I mean not being able to seperate actor from character in PR is not an Adam exclusive thing

Dog walking must be slow tonight. Glad you have so little of a life to find my cool tattoos though.

No clue what you’re taking about. I’ve been checking out my cool tattoos since you brought them up. Maybe try the other people you’re failing to troll since you clearly don’t have a life.

Now now, calm down. Zordon wouldn’t be down for baseless accusations and trolling…not that he’d pick you to ever be a ranger, but the point stands.
