With Faiz the best way to handle it is to only watch about halfway through and then watch Paradise Lost to act as a finale(I'm kinda biased though as Paradise Lost was one of my first exposures to Rider, and I'm still of the opinion that it's one of the best pre-Decade Rider movies) Also with Decade, there's an edit of Movie Wars 2010(that cuts out the Double and Crossover segments of the movie) that someone made that I need to dig up that acts as a final episode for Decade that actually works pretty well in that context, with All Riders vs Dai-Shocker being moved to after the series instead of during it

Well I've already watched some of Boukenger, really hope someone besides TVN subs it someday, especially since it has some of my favorite Suit and Mecha designs in the franchise(Ultimate Dai-Bouken is still probably the best full combination mech the franchise has had)

After his father sold the factory, he basically became a drunk (whether it was due to the loss of the factory or the suitcase full of money or both is left vague) and abused him and his mother and drove her to suicide by overdose. Kaito's father in turn does the same, but by hanging. wow that's dark

wut also got the Shout Factory Zyuranger set for Christmas, and so far it's pretty good, up to episode 5, and it's surprising that they haven't gotten to Daizyujin yet, also Dora Sphinx is rather interesting(the amount of emphasis on his human form leads me to assume it's played by some celebrity, if so does anyone have more info), and Bandora is an amazingly petty villain(it's interesting that she manages to both be more of a threat compared to Rita, but is much goofier too)

For me at least a good Toku fight is one with a good usage of the character's gimmicks, Lord knows how irritating it is seeing a character who's supposed to be primarily a gun user spend most of the fight using it as an extremely awkward club, this is one of the main things I disliked about OOO, that show was awful in regards to both fight choreography and gimmick usage

Zyuranger has so far had pretty good fight choreography, also for being incredibly goofy, Dora Circe is also pretty drat terrifying, think it has to do with how it's victims react to it's actions(also that fat kid's pants falling off is hilarious)

15 episodes into Zyuranger and it continues to be most excellent, Witch Bandora and the Dora Monsters are shaping up to be my favorite Sentai villains, and a serious competitor for favorite Toku villains(got some serious competition from the Kamen Rider side of things though)

Burkion posted:I agree whole heartedly. It's a huge reason why I'm glad the design did change, and is more bulky. It's a sign of respect towards the actor. It's worth noting that part of the reason for the new suit is probably so they can do a mask off scene, the new suit would look a lot better on him than the original suit would these days Also it's kinda hilarious that apparently the new Shocker offshoot's main shtick is apparently being in control of World Finances, makes me wonder if a new version of Big Machine will be in charge of it

Larryb posted:They'll probably just go with regular Shocker like usual. Also out of curiousity, where exactly did the Skull Suit grunts commanly associated with Shocker come from? As I seem to remember the grunts in the original Kamen Rider being red-suited men with no masks. In fact I don't remember any of the grunts in the Showa era Kamen Riders looking quite like that (though Destron from V3 is kind of close). Now admitedly I haven't seen the first series all the way through (just what's been subbed and the final episode) so correct me if I'm wrong. Same page that revealed Rider 1's new suit also revealed that two different Shocker factions are involved this time around, OG Shocker(lead by Ambassador Hell), and Nova Shocker, whose evil specialty is apparently running the global economy from the shadows, also the two don't get along, as for the iconic Shocker grunts, they first appear with a Shocker Commander from Mexico, although they stick around after his defeat until the Original Shocker is replaced by Gel Shocker

As far as I'm aware none of the Grongi kill more than a couple dozen people(not counting that one that goes nuclear for some reason when it blows up), Spider Dopant kills at least several hundred people during his final rampage, possibly even several thousand depending on how many people got killed by the explosions he caused(and this is just with a basic Gaia Memory, can't imagine how much stronger Spider would be using that belt that Nazca uses, or a T2 version)

gourdcaptain posted:Ugh, the Spider Dopant thing has always annoyed me because well, it depends on those spider bomb things not going away when the monster is defeated, like happens in most Toku series, and even W itself. Entirely as a justification for Akiko's dad being right in being an absentee father, because you see, otherwise the spider bombs would blow him and her up. Mind you, it's nowhere near the worst thing in Movie Wars Core, but it's annoying. I just assumed that most of those redirected nukes, while still hitting American territory, mostly hit uninhabited areas(for example most of Nevada and Alaska are uninhabited by humans), cause remember the United States is freaking huge, so assuming Roshuo didn't have a specific target in mind, statistically he probably didn't cause all that much damage(at least in terms of lives lost, probably quite a bit of environmental damage though)

nerdman42 posted:Got a little burned out on W, so I watched some of the original series to try and reinvigorate myself. There's a lot more emphasis on the "Rider" part of Kamen Rider in this version. Also I'm starting to realize that all the Riders I've seen have gotten their powers from evil people and used it for good. That's an awesome overarching premise. Pretty much the only main Riders who don't have a direct connection to their antagonist group are Super-1, Black RX, and J off the top of my head

Is it weird that overall I've preferred the Mecha designs in TOQger, Nininger, and Jyuohger over Go-Busters', and similarly preferred Goseiger's over Gokaiger's, and while I like the three main robots in Shikenger overall(along with the extra robots), I feel any combinations involving more than one of them were incredibly mediocre and half-assed Overall it just feels that the mecha aspects to Go-Busters and Gokaiger were complete afterthoughts during development and writing to an extent not seen since Dairanger(and at least the ones from Dairanger look good), same with any of the multi mech combinations from Shikenger

Cliff Racer posted:I think that a "Kamen Rider" type show could easily survive in the US, at least for a few years. Just not the type of stuff that Toei is currently airing, with the overly talkative belts and questionable suit design changes. I honestly think a show with more MotW seventies style plot beats would do better. That's not necessarily true, it could work it would just have to be a regular kids show if the regular shows get brought over, although you'd probably have to lean on connections with Power Rangers pretty hard for the first season or two to help establish it Hell considering how pretty much all toys these days connect to some sort of Web or phone game, the collectable aspect to Rider toylines would work perfectly for that sort of thing

Serious Frolicking posted:Kamen rider is alternately too toyetic and too serious. Market it for adults and they won't care about all the plastic crap it is hawking. Market it for kids and it would end up heavily censored. There's not really much that you'd need to tone down from the original shows actually, at least for the post Decade series, just edit out the occasional reference to murder and death out as most of them aren't actually all that important to the plots, really you guys are overstating the "maturity" of the franchise, after all the primary demographic for it in Japan is the same demographic as Adventure Time's here in the States

Serious Frolicking posted:But really, who is gonna go through all that trouble for a property that would likely never be a huge success? There are still hundreds of unused superhero properties to go through before trying to tap into the superhero boom with some karate bugmen people associate with a lovely, short-lived children's show if they recognize them at all. The only people asking for a kamen rider adaptation are kamen rider fans, and that isn't exactly a large group even among internet nerds. I'd say there's room for another Live Action Superhero show for kids, currently Power Rangers is the only one on the market, so if Saban can find the opportunity to try again with Kamen Rider you bet they'll take it(probably through a rebrand as Power Rider, especially since they still have the trademark on that to my knowledge, it avoids the stigma that both Masked Rider and unfortunately Kamen Rider have from the previous attempts, and it deepens the ties with Power Rangers that it will need to get started), same if Metal Heroes ever got another TV series that they could twist into a new VR Troopers or Beetleborgs series(hell if necessary Saban could always just use one of those names for a new attempt at Kamen Rider if Power Rider became unavailable for some reason)

Worth mentioning about the Tiga dub; 4Kids only brought it to the states for two reasons, one was that it was ridiculously cheap to do so(thus allowing them to fill a slot in Fox Box for a couple months till they could get something else ready), and the other was to explain a random 2 second gag in an episode of the Kirby anime where he puts on an Ultraman mask, guess they felt it would have been too confusing otherwise (and despite all the other edits they did to their series they didn't just edit that gag out)This is why Tiga's dub is shoddy even by Tokusatsu standards, and also why Tiga only ran for about 10 episodes or so till they quietly canned it
