I liked Ep 1 but in its rush to establish itself tonally,it does the actual origin story a disservice Shoulda been a two parter I'm still looking forward to more, the groundwork they've lain here is fairly interesting

Okay yeah they're definitely going for a lighter tone and I'm liking it so far. I could use a lighter rider show right now!

Between the shoddy wirework and the recycled effects I'm sort of worried about ghost's budget.

That said, if this show is about saving people from demonic possession with the power of hugs? I can't be too mad at it.

I think Ghost is GOING to be good, it's just front-loading most of the setup that normally takes most toku shows like 25 episodes to get across.

I think part of it is that ghost lore and mythology is just different in Japan? It's not a 1:1 thing from there to Poltergeist.

It's actually a really hard thing to do in a serialised show. We've finished our first arc and returned to our status quo from the start of the show, but none of the character growth we've seen has been invalidated.

I think that the old sage guy and Yurusen are the weakest parts of Ghost so far: they have a chance to add to scenes or give Takeru some direction to help flesh him out and...they're just there saying vague poo poo.

Specifically I'm glad we spent so much time with Tokusatsu Special Unit 2. It made the overwhelming power of Alpha feel really weighty and important.

I have no idea where I heard this but wasn't the Foundation X plot originally intended to be a much bigger factor in all three shows?

nerdman42 posted:The villains immediately seem a lot more interesting at least. The only thing I remember liking about the Greed was Weird Puppet Guy and the Green Jacket rear end in a top hat becoming the most devious and interesting one. Weird puppet guy is in Amazons and is the Hot Dad analogue in Ultraman X

The thing that bugs me about them is that they push a lot of the defining elements of the zyuranger costumes to the background in lieu of elements seen in modern western superheroes: accenting instead of contrast, techno-organic imagery, and so on. The only thing the old costumes really kept as a primary design element were the sculpted lips, which I found terrible to begin with.

They never really committed to it, which made every token appearance even worse.

It was DEFINITELY intentional, to show how goddamn serious the Ganma take themselves (when they should not be taken seriously, just like basically every character on this show.)

I hope that KR and Sentai continue to lean into the weird English and Americanisms of the past few series. Give me more fat Japanese-Canadian dudes like Ramires.

So I finished amazons, and I really like it overall. But it feels like a show that for a bunch of hasty rewrites in the back half when they realize they had a season 2. Is that just me?

Ghost's first half was super compelling to me, because they introduced as many toys as quickly as they could, just to get them out of the way so they could get into the proper plot. And then after the first arc was finished, they just dragged their heels forever. Igor is not a villain that needed to be around for more than 5 episodes, the Demia project plot is nothing. And because they're dragging it out so long you start to see that their characterization of Takeru is super thin! They could have been doing a lot more with the character and it's mostly squandered. The cast has good chemistry and it's got a lot of style, so I'm still comfortable saying I like Ghost a fair amount. But it's such a waste of heh potential

So a group picked up Kiva recently and seem to be committed to getting it done 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) John McClane fucked around with this message at 11:28 on Aug 10, 2016 |
