I do not get objections to drives designs.
He's basically a slim Autobot. And the car instead of a bike thing is a trivial difference unless you're thinking harder about the premise of kamen rider than probably even the writers are these days.

It's not a bad design, it just did not appeal to me. Design aesthetic remains one of the core reasons why I still watch some tokusatsu. The only tech rider design I ever loved 100% was G3. Also, I'm not really into any Transformers either.

The boiled down premise of Kamen Rider is some dude with a handful of allies fighting against an evil organization/civilization/race while sharing a similar power origin. The riding element has been unimportant for a long time now. Why would I ghost who can fly need a motorcycle? The premise I was referring to in Drive was short-staffed paranormal investigation unit fighting against evil car/number robots that can stop time. This did not seem all that refreshing or interesting after the crazy train that was Gaim. Yet it was done really well, taken to some neat places and was overall really enjoyable.

The heroic spirits in Ghost could have been done really well if written by a history nerd or something. Instead, they are all just one-note macguffins with personalities based on one famous thing they did in their legends (with catchphrases!). The premise was that they all have an important lesson to impart to Takeru, to have him come into his own as a true hero. So then it happened that what he learned from them was that being a true hero meant staying as a one note character who spouts a catchphrase. Or maybe there was something important about the spirits of the dead remaining static forever I must have missed.

Most of the Eyecons have had basically the same speech for Takeru anyway.

'Your Justice is what you want, and sometimes that's hard, but that's okay. you do your Justice. No matter what do your Justice. That's Justice. Justice is what you make, because not everyone agrees'.

I think that means that Faiz and Decade are the only heisei shows without a scrub going? (This is assuming Sub Vent and OrangeLion are still committed to Ryuki and Den-O)

Truth be told that's really only been Billy and Robin, and Billy's was skewed more towards the whole doing what's right when a friend goes off the rails because you're their friend.

I get that it probably blends all together sometimes but yeah, unequivocally wrong there.

From what I saw it's actually not that bad. It's nothing like the Taisen films, there's no shoehorned in Zyuohger cameo and the only other Rider characters that show up are the Ghost cast.

Speaking of Zyuohger, a certain pirate was spotted on the set recently:

Not sure if this is for an upcoming episode or a VS Super Sentai movie (possibily the former since Zyuohger 29 will be the 2000th episode of Super Sentai overall) but still, nice to see him back.

Apparently we'll also be seeing some familiar faces in the summer movie too!



Also, isn't Zyuohger supposed to have its own Super Hero Year movie?

So not only will Marvelous be making an appearence in Zyuohger apparently it's going to be a full fledged teamup with Gokaiger that will occur during the 29th and 30th episodes.

Also the VS Super Sentai this year is apparently going to be a Special exclusive to the DVDs, not sure what this means for the eventual movie but you can see the trailer here.
