That poo poo looks loving BRUTAL, which I understand is true to the source material. God, I want official subs so I can show it to people.

CW superhero shows are the fabed "American Tokusatsu" and are wildly successful. There's absolutely ample room for a Kamen Rider series to succeed over here, complete with Rider Kicks and actual transformations. What there isn't room for is a footage-recycling Saban project, or for a toyetic merchandizing vehicle. It'd have to be pointed at the Flarrow demographic. Relationship drama mixed with stunt action and big character-actor seasonal villains and wink-nudge references. A full remake of Double would probably be the best route to success, especially if they just let Phillip and Shotaro date. That'd fly pretty well in 2018.

The Gaia Memories aren't too toyetic, to be honest. Not any more toyetic that Arrow's twice-a-season gear upgrades or, uh, drugs (for the Dopant Memories). Plus they establish a strong Monster-of-the-Week engine while also opening opportunities for twists. Will this week's Memory just be a monster or will it be a power-up to get excited for? You don't have to like the actual writing or production of any given DC CW show to recognize that it's the ideal format for Kamen Rider in the west. No dubs, no Saban-type recycling. Just a localized ground-up remake, ideally of Double or Kabuto or another of the series that trended towards gravitas. And Doctor Who proves that if you give each Rider at least two television seasons you can deffo get away with adapting a new series every couple of years. You can even do rider crossovers - Doctor Who anniversaries and Flarrow crossovers prove there's a market for that. We already have a thriving American Tokusatsu, is what I'm saying. Why not use its methods?

So are the OZC-live BDs of Kamen Rider W the same subs as Over-Time or what? My first watch years ago was as a TV-N watching moron.

It's true, I'd never be caught dead in a fedora. I'm not hard-boiled enough to get away with that. I paid 90bux for the Driver incl shipping and I did it because I ascribe my Smash Bros character picks to Double forms. Roy is HeatMetal. Sonic is FangJoker. Samus (Fusion Suit) is LunaTrigger. So now I'll be able to bring the Memories to torneys and make obnoxious noises to signify my character picks.

No I haven't sprung for Fang yet. I'd rather have the T2 Fang anyway for practical purposes but that's part of an expensive set so WELP. Looking forward to activating METAL BRANDING whenever I get a shield break with Roy though.

The Coat is unmistakably a Thing. At a glance across the convention floor, you can tell it's part of a costume. Some skinny white fucker in a fedora, vest, and tie? Not so much.

Cyphoderus posted:Finally done with Kamen Rider W. Very fun, I totally see why people recommend it so much here. The middle episodes don't even feel much like filler, and the movies are great. The second one, with the A-to-Z memories stuff, is a perfect feel-good Saturday afternoon popcorn action flick. Part of what I really liked about W was how it leveraged its formula to make every episode worthwhile. The two-parter format is excellent for binge-watching because the cliffhangers are really well-constructed and strongly based upon the audience AND the characters discovering new information that reframes the existing plot. The mystery-of-the-fortnight structure also does a great job of making the monsters feel meaningful. Two episodes/45 minutes gives you time to get used to the characters of each story, become invested in their needs, and want the best for them. I'd often find myself genuinely disappointed - but narratively satisfied- when a likable character turned out to be a Dopant. Plus having only ~25 stories meant that filler didn't really exist. The first 2/3rds of the show introduce new characters, powers, and tools at an even pace, and by the time the heroes have their full arsenal of abilities, the show is ready to focus on setting up the board for the ideological and practical conflicts leading up through the finale - it never has to spin its wheels. Plus the villains were excellent. The Sonozaki family (and their wonderful little lietmotif) were unmistakably villainous without being embodiments of petty malice, and the family politics are paced fantastically. The dichotomy of antiheroic Nasca and detestable Weather was great. W's powers were really well executed too. Apart from the toyetic garbage with the bike in early episodes, W's powers felt genuinely versatile and necessary, and were used intelligently. At one point I wondered if Philip and Shotaro would or could morph straight into HeatJoker, and they actually discussed and implemented that strategy. Xtreme being a bit of a Win Button was weak, but its acquisition felt earned and seeing Philip and Shotaro fully unite was really satisfying, and FangJoker was a fun mixup that was smartly limited by its body switcheroo. Great cast, great management of its toyetics, and exactly as much story as it needed.

Maybe it's because I binged it, but that kind of goes away when you consider each 2-parter as a single 45-minute episode.

Shaezerus posted:Wizard's toy gimmick is definitely the easiest to take seriously out of everything Rider's put out in roughly a decade. The last five years alone have been video game cartridges wielded by doctors, eyeballs that summon ghosts made of coats, tiny sentient cars, samurai fruit padlocks, and then there's Wizard with magic rings. that's why you show Double people are primed for Gaia Memories because the Switch just came out
