Dexie posted:W, OOO, and Fourze will always have the loose thread that is Foundation X hanging over their heads because Toei dropped the metaplot entirely. Eh, I think it works in W's case because Foundation X are basically an ongoing villain organization but W's plot ends with the clear idea that Kamen Rider will always stand against them. (I also think W's ending is extremely good, even if the ending of the second-to-last episode is also extremely good.)

Start with Zyuranger and then move on through the 90s. 90s Sentai best Sentai.

SpiderHyphenMan posted:Zyuranger is actually bad though, unless you really like child actors. Nah. It's both strong from a thematic perspective and really fun to watch, plus it goes on the road to shows like Kaku, Mega and Car which are all excellent. (I'm not that big on Dai but some people are.) Even Ohranger owns for about 7 episodes before Terrorism happened. You can also step back towards Jetman if you're willing to get some terminal doses of Inoue. The 90s era of Sentai was almost pure gold. I haven't seen GoGoFive and Fiveman was kinda blah but the rest are kind of great. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Oct 23, 2015 |

Meteor has two major problems. His arc takes for-loving-ever and it eats the show while it is going on. Just a small eternity of him being a secret poo poo and the show focusing on it instead of anything else. The other is that he really is a light rehash of Accel but executed more poorly, right down to his secret mentor actually being one of the villains seeking to drive the heroes to embrace the dark side in order to defeat the unstoppable chairman. Oh, wait, and his upgrade is absolutely hideous so that's three problems.

She made a lot of sense as "the character who really legitimately loves space but has a dorky way of showing it" until the lovely astronaut episode where they revealed she is actually a loving moron. Despite the fact that episode would have made a lot more sense otherwise.

Other shows have individual strong things but what I think makes W work is that everything is competent and coherent. A big thing for me in W that no other show has hit is that the powers *make sense.* He has a lot of forms but they're all based off a combination of two different powers, plus Fang which has a distinct use of its own (Philip can henshin instead of Shotaro.) And the show is smart about using those powers and so when the character swaps between abilities it makes sense. Every show since has felt like they just tacked on power after power after power and rather than a sensible arsenal they just had a giant collection of poo poo and randomly used it whenever. W has good villains, good heroes, a sensible and coherent plot, good use of its Rider gimmicks and powers, strong fights, mostly does a good job with CGI, has a secondary Rider who fits well in the show and is useful and well-implemented without being poo poo on and in general is just smart.

Also because Blue Beetle owns. Edit: Also "nobody cares about (niche superhero) in 2016" is kinda silly in a world where loving Ant-Man made millions of dollars at the box office and Big Hero 6 was a large hit.

Literally The Worst posted:dc puts out a lot of dumb bullshit. they put out batwing a few years ago. remember batwing? it sucked. it was literally a brand new character that had appeared maybe once before, if that, and i'm pretty sure it was actually brand spanking new as of Batwing #1 by Judd "Everyone Has AIDS" Winnick. i don't know why they do things, but they do. it's pretty much always stupid as gently caress in the last five years, too. I like how you just glossed over Big Hero 6. You're really stretching for you "nobody cares about this character" thing, especially when said character is pretty relevant in a lot of ways in some form or another. (If just, at bare minimum, because Nite Owl was inspired by Blue Beetle and Watchmen is a pretty relevant comic.) ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 02:43 on May 28, 2016 |

The problem with bad subs is that unless you have knowledge of them the end result is that you're getting wrong characterization and information which can significantly impact how you view a show. Not even OT or whatnot are immune to this because translation a show as it airs means you can miss hints or context you wouldn't necessarily notice but with TVN if it 'looks' right people will take it right even if it literally gets plot info wrong. That is a reason why it is worse than nothing.

Cliff Racer posted:Getting a slightly off version of a show is better than nothing. My personal peeve as far as them "changing stuff" was that adding visual gimmicks to the role-calls and attacks names changed the meaning of them, pumping up fights that were often times just quickie filler and meant to be viewed as such by the audiance. Still better than still waiting on something which I decided to watch years ago to be subbed. It isn't a case of 'slightly off.' They've actively reversed character motivations or ignored very important things. It is, in fact, worse than nothing unless you care more about it sounding right than being right. Like from your description you literally don't care about the show, just that whatever text is below is close enough to readable and sounds right even if it is objectively wrong.

Cliff Racer posted:I want something to watch on TV, see what the characters are saying, and have it actually make sense. So yes. You don't actually care if what the characters are saying is right, just that it 'makes sense' to you. I mean that's your choice but it means you're being upfront about the fact you don't care about characterization, writing or plot, just that dialogue looks right to you. Most people are probably not going to feel that way and that is why it is recommended they avoid TVN. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 04:45 on Jul 7, 2016 |

Man, I could not disagree more. The Burai plot is several thousand times better than the Tommy plot and I say this as someone with a ton of nostalgia for MMPR who first saw Zyuranger recently. Zyuranger is better in almost every way.

Burkion posted:I wish more toku series would be willing to do just loving insane things like having a massive marriage ceremony that has all of the old monsters show up or have a hero get randomly thrown back in time and meet wild west counterparts of themselves. Those both sounds like things that happen pretty regularly in super sentai to be honest. Like Jetman has a plot where Yellow Owl goes back to caveman times and multiple shows have Monster Weddings.
