So with Switchblade formally withdrawing from rewatching Super Hero Taisen as part of going back through Fourze, I figured I'd do my part to keep the experience complete and rewatch it for everyone. I mean, I haven't seen it since it got subbed, but, hey, what's the worst that could happen, right?
Well, it didn't literally kill me, so that's a positive.
I
was
bored out of my mind though. It actually gave me a newfound appreciation for Chou Super Hero Taisen,
which was at least fun to roast
, an experience I was hoping to repeat here, but man, this movie is so
dull
. The direction is utterly lifeless for the most part, a common complaint I remember not understanding back in the day, but now that I've had years to develop a better sense of this stuff,
oh man does it look bland
. There are probably Hyper Battle Videos out there with more dynamic cinematography. And that story! I'm not even gonna try and comment on it, except to say that this movie's greatest legacy for me personally will always be cementing in my mind that Kaitou is definitely in love with Tsukasa. The whole thing is just such a mess. It's like the magnum opus of the bizarre genre of cynical nostalgia Toei had going with Rider for so long where I guess, as fans, we're supposed to be excited when a suit we know gets slaughtered with as much dignity as the average Sentai mook.
I think the most fun I had was hearing Meteor transform for the first time in a while. It slipped my mind just how groovy that music is. The fun got cut short when I realized how much more fun it would've been to just have a proper Fourze/Go-Busters crossover instead. Imagine the chemistry there! Gentarou could get himself wrapped up in some Vaglass plot and have to work with the Busters, and the whole time Youko would be all like "are we sure this guy's brain works right?", and Hiromu would just be actively insulted at the notion of having to work with some random punk high-schooler, saying nothing but constantly giving him dirty looks. Then Ryuuji would be desperately trying to keep the peace, while secretly being the most flustered of anyone by Gentarou's youthful exuberance, because Ryuuji is an old man who can't keep up with the kids these days.
I mean,
I
think there's potential there, anyway. But I guess having them on-screen together for maybe a minute or two tops is just as good, right?

Oooooohhh
,
that
frequently despised Inoue show, I get it. Still, definitely some people out there (and around here!) who love Kiva. I
think
I'm one of them, but Kiva is also my favorite Rider show to make fun of, so I'm not sure that counts.
