Joke's on you! The only thing I have to say about that is the White Wizard isn't a Kamen Rider, and nobody, including Toei, can ever convince me otherwise. He's in the same boat as Shadow Moon. He's just a guy with the same powers as Wizard, and that's not the same thing in my eyes.
Why, you might ask? Well, because quite frankly, I kind of hate the notion of evil Kamen Riders in a broad sense? It was perfect in Ryuki, which was making a deliberate attempt to defile tradition, and also had a clear and specific definition for what a Rider actually
was
, but in general, I feel flooding the franchise with so many movie villains and Genms and Evols dilutes the entire notion Kamen Rider started out with, which is one of the things I love so much about it.
You can't have an evil Kamen Rider, because all Kamen Rider is to begin with is a
good
monster.
On a case-to-case basis, I don't really have any issues with guys like Genm, for example, or your Thousers and Kaixas who still oppose the show's main villains, but in general, I really wish the franchise would put more thought into what that name gets attached to. If all Kamen Rider means is "person who transforms with a fun toy", I think that's more than a little sad.
