What is your opinion Dino Fury?
Thoughts given here:
Most loved Rider season?
Gaim: This was the season that brought back what I loved about early Heisei and did it excellently.
A great story, great cast, a lot of serialization, good twists, and manages to be pretty dark.
Other than the movie tie-in episodes, this show is fantastic is one of the reason I consider it peak fiction.
What do you think makes for a good idiot protagonist?
A good writing, a personality, and having something about them that makes them admirable in some way. Even if they don't go through the most changes, there should be at least SOMETHING in there that can grab the audience. Whether or not they go through change, or if they're just fun in their own way.
This is why characters like Takaharu, Lucky, Tagiru, and Sougo don't work. They're basically those characters, but without any of those things, and instead being replaced with traits that make them insufferable and flat out unlikable.
Thoughts on Fourze?
Fourze Is as a good example of a show being positive, but positive in a good way. Despite the show being goofy and chaotic, it didn't constantly get in the way of the story, nor having its moments of being genuinely sincere. Its demonstrates it message about how even in its tough times, we can always push through it together, and doesn't treat its audience like idiots like certain other shows do.
(Cough Ghost. Cough Sabers first half)
Thoughts on Cure Honey/Yuko?
Yuko is a great character, my second fave of the Happiness Charge team. She doesn't have much in terms of character development, but much like Ageha in Hirogaru Sky, she didn't need to cause she was great in her own way. Very sweet, sincere, and does provide some interesting insight on a lot of things. A lot of people tend to forget you can have characters not develop, but still shine through with her own traits, and with Yuko, she constantly showed those traits. She served her role as the team Mom well, and I really love that song of hers.
which series is worse to sit through Ninninger or Kyuranger?
Thoughts on the Kyutama from Kyuranger?
Okay, so these things I will admit look, nice, and I do like the slide to match the image thing its got going on.
My issue with them is they have abilities that range from useful to useless.
You got stuff like creating a shield, enhancing vision, summoning a giant claw on your arm, duplicating yourself, okay fine.
But then you got stuff like summoning a fish, cross-dressing, playing music, making a crown appear, summoning doves, allowing you to paint, summoning drinking glasses, transforming people into baseball players, summoning measuring tools, just...why? I don't get it.
None of these provide any sort of good use other than just shove in more bad comedy, and it just screams "KYORYUGER DID IT, KYORYUGER DID IT!", and not understanding why it worked in Kyoryuger in the first place.
All the Zyudenchi in Kyoryuger, despite having silly abilities, but they practical use. Sure they had ones like Ovirapoo, which was presented as fart, but they do explain and show that it IS tear gas.
Where as with these Kyutama's its just another dumb excuse to pander to five year olds.
Why don't you like Ninninger?
Ninninger was purely unbearable garbage.
Nothing resembling a story, and anything that does resemble a story is only in a smallest percentage because all of it gets ignored bad pandering down to the lowest common denominator comedy. The characters range from bland, to annoying, to just flat out unlikable, especially its red Takaharu, who's not only a horrible actor, but a spotlight hog on top of everything. The crossover episodes are all awful because they glorify the Ninningers while giving a slap to the face to the past ones. And the villains are all idiots who keep coming up with stupid plans that have nothing to do with their goals.
And it sucks too cause I love a lot of the suit designs, and I love stuff thats silly and chaotic, but Jesus Christ this was pushing it.
Who is worse? Takaharu from Ninninger, Megumi from Happiness Charge, Troy from Megaforce or Takeru from Ghost?
Thoughts on Ben and Betty from Beast Morphers?
favorite blue ranger in the Disney era
which Protag is worse Takaharu Megumi from Happiness Charge or Troy from Megaforce?
Do you recommend Kamen Rider Saber, given how it improves in the second half?
Its kinda hard for me to recommend it given how awful the first half it is.
I guess maybe if you love fairy tales and books, or maybe if you like the comedy, speeches, then yeah, I'd say check it out if you want.
For me though, there's other series that are good from start to finish that are much more worth recommending.
