First of all, Maximum Gamer is one of my favorite Rider powerups ever. I love the gimmick of Ex-Aid having his own power armor. I love that they actually built a suit that bulky, and I
love
the gimmick of having him eject out of it to get more use out of the base form even way late in the show. Everything about it is just awesome and I could go like this for a while.
Second of all, I think I might be the only person on the planet who was totally satisfied with True Ending. I guess everybody just has the problem I had with the Den-O movie back when I first watched it, but I really think everyone's expectations don't match up with why it's actually called True Ending. It's literally just because it's set after the finale and they probably didn't know Another Ending would be a thing when they decided on the title.
It acts as a nice, simple coda to the show that encapsulates its themes really nicely while delivering some big action you can't get on TV. The fact that it didn't concern itself with tying up loose ends (which Ex-Aid didn't leave a lot of), or advancing character arcs that were already over is the biggest point in its favor to me. It's the exact opposite of what went wrong with the Ghost movie. My guy Yuuya Takahashi knows what he can comfortably fit in an hour and also knew better than to try and make the TV finale the "fake" ending. So don't get too hung up on the "True" part of the title. Comparisons to 100% completion bonus endings or post-game content in video games are very warranted, and I think viewing it through that lens, it becomes easier to see what they were going for. Just a little extra Ex-Aid for the road.
It's honestly my favorite summer movie (which I'll admit is weird in a world where W A to Z and Surprise Future both exist), so it bums me out how underwhelmed so many people seem to be with it, given how popular Ex-Aid as a whole is.
