Blaze Dragon posted:Honestly I'm not sure what those upgrades could be. Desire Driver spoilers: the only sounds left in the Driver, according to KR wiki, are Fantasy and Boost Mk-III. The latter is obviously for Ace so he can have his nine tails, and Fantasy is unlikely to go for both even though it'd fit either. I kind of expect Neon to get nothing. Going by Revice and Zero One, all three eventually got upgrades so I'd expect the trend to stay the same for the secondary and tertiary

I don't think you can take either as an example. I hope you're right and Neon gets something but I think it's far more likely Fantasy is Keiwa's final form, Boost Mk-III is Ace's and Neon gets nothing above Fever Beat/Beat Boost. She didn't even get a chance to use Command which the other three protagonists did.

Schwarzwald posted:cross posting from the CD kaiju thread: To follow up on this (several months later (because the 92 Shin was bad and it turned me off)) I watched ZO and J. ZO (93):   This is Terminator 2 in a third of the run time, produced with a percentage of the budget, and with a guy in a suit instead of Arnold. Surprisingly, it rules..?   Loving father/evil scientist Dr. Mochizuki is researching the creation of a perfect life form, unbounded by morality or whatever else. (A decent enough hobby.) After deciding against pointless creating evil monsters, he's imprisoned by the nearly finished but then discarded Doras. Doras plots to kidnap his son as leverage to coerce the doctor into completing it. Trapped within a Giger-techno-flesh prison, the doctor issues a telepathic plea to an earlier experiment of his that had escaped -- the mostly human Kamen Rider ZO -- to protect his son.   The film's suit game is on point, and most of the action is quite good, including a few commendable fights between the suit actor and a stop motion creature. There is goop and there is vinyl and it's all pleasantly gross. It's also kind of lowkey horny for the male body in a manner I wasn't quite expecting. There's more than a little shirtless male bondage, and ZO bonding with the son of the man who experimented on him kinda sorta has some "awkwardly introducing yourself as dad's gay partner" vibes, even if that's not quite what's going on.  Less positively, there's some cruft. We spend a lot of time being introduced to the son's family and friends, including his eccentric inventor uncle and some teenage karateka, but while they take up some screentime they pretty much don't matter. This isn't necessarily a problem, but its weird we get that instead of any insight into the Dr. Mochizuki's changing motivations. If Shin ('92) was 45 minutes of film painfully stretched twice this time, then ZO is a 26 episode series cropped to the bare essentials. In this case, that made for a tremendously better film. Kamen Rider ZO is a very enjoyable way to kill 50 minutes, even if it isn't quite the fully package. (That would be '95s Hakaider.) J (94) is a very different beast:   Where ZO was set in a contemporary Japanese city, J is set in the isolated wilderness of the mountains as its encroached upon by modern development. It's all spiritual and very Ferngully.   The Fog, migratory aliens who last visited the planet 66 million years ago when they ravenously wiped out the dinosaurs, have returned. They're about to hatch a new brood which will wipe out human life, however before they do so they must first sacrifice a human. To that purpose they find two people camping in the mountains, Kana and Kouji. They kidnap Kana, while Kouji gets tossed over a cliff. Kouji is saved by spirits of the Earth, who grant him the J Power with which he can transform into Kamen Rider J. He goes off to stop the Fog and save Kana, accompanied by awful puppet grasshopper, Barry.   J travels from unspoiled wilderness into more developed and polluted terrain, fighting each enemy minion in turn, as he journeys to Less pleasantly, the film's treatment of Kana is weird. For the first half I presumed she was Kouji's younger sister, but then its revealed that she's just some wandering child he happened to meet while camping? And who has since joined him to live at his camp? And while the film doesn't makes this explicit, her sacrifice to the Fog is presented more than a little sexually. I think she's also meant to represent Mother Earth? It's not great!  Even beyond all that, I didn't think it quite measured up to ZO. It's probably the best produced of the three '90s films (and the best paced) but the setting is so removed and the villains are so disconnected that it's hard to care about the conflict. It's all immaterial. (For comparison, ZO had Dr. Mochizuki build an evil science base in a processing plant in the middle of a open-pit mine, and had Doras built itself a robot body out of metal detritus in a junkyard. In J, the movie about the despoiling of nature, but it all amounts to some images of wilderness and vague sexual danger against a preteen.) Still a better watch than Shin '92. Like, considerably so.

ZO and J were a product of Shinichiro Shirakura and Keita Amemiya deciding to not continue the Shin Kamen Rider project after the prologue for a variety of reasons (Surprisingly sales wasn't one of them - it apparently did well for a direct-to-video production) and leaving a bunch of budget and production plans in the hands of Amemiya. That's also why they're both visual treats with very distinct aesthetics you only really see in Amemiya's 90s fantasy stuff. If you haven't, I highly recommend watching Mechanical Violator Hakaider and Zeiram for more of that.

Isn’t it all but confirmed that he’s the upcoming silver rival ranger at this point (it’s literally a recolor of his brother’s suit after all and the end of the last episode revealed Racles had his own Zord now)?

For those of you who were keeping your eyes on Shin Ultraman theater stuff stateside: what's the likelyhood of Shin Kamen Rider being picked up by Cinemark? The nearest AMC theater currently listed for me is like a half hour away. How long should I be waiting before pulling the trigger on tickets, here?

I watched Ultraman at a Cinemark. I don't think you can even actually buy the AMC tickets yet. We'll probably get an official announcement sometime next week or so and then the full theater lists will be released.

Geats ep. 31: I joked about it last week that when Sara was put in danger we should be worried about Keiwa's safety instead. I was proven right. Turned out the whole DGP "granting your wish" bussiness is a zero-sum game. This also explains why the retired players' desires would get eliminated and why ordinary people won't return when every rider is eliminated. If they still plan to redeem Michinaga, they must try even harder now after this episode. Heaven and Hell game was organized with his consent, and he mocked and then kicked out someone wishing others' happiness. I don't think some cheap redemption arc is going to make up for what he has been doing. Daichi is making some nice faces in this episode. I come to like him a little more.

I feel kind of like Baron's motivation was "When I'm on top, I'll do away with the things I dislike" whereas Buffa's is more along the lines of "I'll do away with everything, and that way none of the stuff I hate will be a problem" Like he's condemning the very concept of wanting things at this point, he's basically the Kamen Rider version of  Which also makes me think we're headed for some kind of Madoka ending, or y'know, I guess technically a Ryuki ending (Utena ending?)
