Larryb posted:They'll probably just go with regular Shocker like usual. Also out of curiousity, where exactly did the Skull Suit grunts commanly associated with Shocker come from? As I seem to remember the grunts in the original Kamen Rider being red-suited men with no masks. In fact I don't remember any of the grunts in the Showa era Kamen Riders looking quite like that (though Destron from V3 is kind of close). Now admitedly I haven't seen the first series all the way through (just what's been subbed and the final episode) so correct me if I'm wrong. Same page that revealed Rider 1's new suit also revealed that two different Shocker factions are involved this time around, OG Shocker(lead by Ambassador Hell), and Nova Shocker, whose evil specialty is apparently running the global economy from the shadows, also the two don't get along, as for the iconic Shocker grunts, they first appear with a Shocker Commander from Mexico, although they stick around after his defeat until the Original Shocker is replaced by Gel Shocker

So is this new Rider 1 movie a standalone reboot deal like The First/Next or is it in "continuity"?

I still find it interesting that his new form is based on the relatively obscure second Ichigo form. It's my personal favorite just because I love the color scheme, so I can't complain.

I know it's been said many times before, but holy poo poo is Ninninger bad. Gabi Raizou is back, the general they defeated the fasted and easiest, when they were just starting out. Now that they're much stronger now, they should be able to easily handle him, right? Nope, they get their asses kicked, until Takaharu shows up, and defeats Gabi Raizou immediately after he appears. Kyuuemon seals their Ninpo. Could this be an actual threat? Wait, no, they just pull some new Ninpo out of their asses and easily defeat him. Grandpa goes up against Kibaoni, but since he's not part of the team he's obviously doomed to fail. And since the series has been constantly talking about how the Ninningers have all surpassed Grandpa, that means any potential threat Kibaoni would have presented is gone. And while I know that killing Grandpa was obviously never going to happen, because this is Sentai and that's just how it works, the fact that it was never even a conflict just makes the whole thing boring and pointless. The Ninningers are so much better than Grandpa, why would they even need to kill him anyway? In Gokaiger, when the treasure offered the chance to defeat the Zangyack at the cost of erasing the past Sentai teams, the team was conflicted about whether or not to use it. Especially when it looked like there wasn't any way to win without it, and Gai even was convinced that they should use it. It was obvious they weren't going to, but the show presented a situation where it looked necessary and the team even thought they should. But in Ninninger? They have no reason to kill Grandpa and all of them just go "Yep it's not even worth considering!" I mean maybe I'm being a bit too hasty, there are two episodes left and I suppose next episode could be the moment where they go "Maybe we should" but given how this show has been I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen.

Twelve by Pies posted:I know it's been said many times before, but holy poo poo is Ninninger bad. No there is no drama in it. I complained about it last week too. There's even less Drama now because the 'Super Ninja' has officially joined the team; no enemy has ever been a direct, physical threat to the Ninningers except Raziou, they've all been only victorious because of handicaps or trickery, and now there's another Ninja who was called a 'prodigy', PLUS Grandpa apparently also turning into a Ninninger, which he never did before because.....? There's no threat or even any ability to feel like it's a threat, because the team has never been in danger and are now even less in danger because they have even more members now. And you can tell that Grandpa and Dadranger are gonna carry their weight because they're Red, which is the best and strongest color. Though they might not be as good as Takaharu. If there's only two episodes left I'm super excited because it means that in the next episode they're going to kill Gabi Raizou, Ariake No Kata, and one of Kibaoni and Kyuuemon, so that the last episode can be about that fight. Or maybe even everyone will get killed next episode and the last will be a 30 minute wrap up. Which is really going to put the nail in what I've been saying; all the villains are so unthreatening that even the bosses all get killed in a single episode.

Takaharu made allies with Lion Ha-Oh, which Grandpa couldn't do. Takaharu made new Ninja Allies, which Grandpa couldn't do. Takaharu made new Ninpo, which Grandpa couldn't do. Takaharu refused to kill an old man, which Grandpa couldn't do.

The theme of this whole show is "Takaharu is better". It got annoying by episode 3, and it has only gotten worse with time. I have no doubts that Takaharu will fight Gengetsu alone and win, while the rest serve as his cheerleaders. It'd only be the third Sentai in a row to pull that bullshit! Though, it'd be even worse here because at least Daigo and Right were likable. Takaharu might be the single worst Ranger in history. I'm pretty sure Ninninger would've been greatly improved by removing him entirely. It still would not be a good show because it has several more flaws, but at least it wouldn't have Takaharu. Also I don't get why Tsumuji was constantly shown in grey if they were going to make him red anyways. I get why he's red, because we need to make it even more clear how Takaharu is the best and so the super prodigy and the Last Ninja share his colour, but it's still ridiculous. Also ridiculous: grandpa can transform. He never did it before, including fighting the ultimate enemy of the series, because...reasons? Never explained! Oh, and talking about ridiculous, it's amazing how Kyuemon's backstory fails completely. We're meant to see him taking the Youkai power as this big event that clearly proves either his conviction or the weakness of his heart, and that'd definitely work! For Izayoi Kyuemon, that is. Because it doesn't work at all for Kibaoni Kyuemon Shingetsu, son of the biggest youkai in existance, destined to lead him to glory and completely devoted to said goal, and who has literally no reason to not be a youkai himself. Zyuohger's opening is great and its premise sounds much better than this. I dislike every design but that won't stop me from enjoying it if it is better than Ninninger.

That part confused me too, it's like there were two different writing teams for Kyuuemon's character who never spoke to each other, and then a third guy got brought in this episode and went "Wait how are both of these backstories supposed to be true at the same time?" and then just decided gently caress it whatever. The only thing that makes "sense" is if Kibaoni's son was somehow a normal human and just happened to decide to turn himself into a youkai, the problem with that is why would he have been a normal human if he's the son of Kibaoni Gengetsu?

Kyuuemon was interesting when he was an examination of how people could fail in their path. He became less interesting when it was revealed that, in actuality, he was doomed to fail the entire time. Especially with the more recent stuff. Why was Grandpa even upset with Kyuuemon at all for taking Tsumiji's Nintality? That kind of brutal ruthless conviction is exactly what was required to be Last Ninja in the first place. For some reason Grandpa was like 'I can't believe he's done this' when the entire premise of Last Ninja apparently involves doing just that. It speaks that this last minute 'reveal' of what it takes to be the Last Ninja was cobbled together to try and add tension.

Even if right was most of the final battle in toqger, it was at least a long struggle that he nearly lost and that he still needed his friends for.

Otherwise, once that's done, it'll be Ghost quarterly like you said, and on to Wizard once Fourze is done, with Gaim after that.

I managed to capture them off of a streaming site from Singapore, but while they repeated the entire series after the weekly run ended, they didn't re-post the episodes so I couldn't get any of the earlier ones. I released Episode 34 with it already, and I posted a couple short samples of it on Twitter. It's as bad as you might expect, so I'm basically just including it for laughs. https://twitter.com/OZCLive/status/684675080433999872 https://twitter.com/OZCLive/status/685015302954848256

Being red-centric isn't an issue if the show is written well, Kyoryuger keeps getting brought up because it straight up said "Daigo has no flaws or weaknesses and is the best ever" and it was still really good. He also came off as a far better character than Takaharu on top of that.
