The first episodes of Blade confused the fuck out of me. Why the swarm of bugs at BOARD HQ? Why the spontaneously combusting mementos? Why Peacock Neo having PMCs?
And I agree. But I'd save it until Nago gets Rising. Then you can show both on screen together, Megumi getting her own IXA gear and Nago getting Rising. Plus it keeps the "IXA needs to be a guy because little boy demographic" thing while also giving us a badass lady Rider. And with Yuri, just give her more IXA moments in the 80's and justify her not immediately getting IXA then because of "you're better for Aozora when you aren't testing power armor that has a tendency to explode but once we work out that bug you can IXA all you want." Also show Yuri's death. And make it a badass "killed saving 10-year-old Megumi from a Fangire attack which leads to Aozora beginning her Training, even showing that Yuri and Megumi are part of a special covert task force with several members meant to be able to fend off Fangire on a moment's notice until IXA can dispactch." I think that'd work nicely. I guess that would be a fair trade off. I think Yuri getting more Ixa moments in the 80's would be what I want most. I was really disappointed how she only got that knife, but did so well, and yet the Ixa armor was given to someone else so she ended up getting sidelined too often because a knife is still just a knife, even if it's a knife-whip. Well, Philip passes for a woman so easily I doubt they'd have to get a new actor.

Kuuga: Show the first battle between Kuuga and Daguva. The episode just opened with the city burning, Godai lying defeated on the street and they never really explained what happened. I was so confused I thought I skipped an episode by accident. Another thing: I love the idea from the books that Mika becomes a Rider. I wish they handled that plot in the show. Agito: The whole thing with the seed of god is crap. It doesn’t work for me, at all. I really would’ve preferred if Agito was a direct sequel to Kuuga instead of a maybe-but-not-really-sequel and that the enemies are the Linto tribe from Kuuga and not "Angels". Give us some more backstory for the lore and have Agito be Kuuga's true successor. Ryuki: The way the Mirror Monsters are created as well as the final episodes make little to no sense. I mean, I can buy that Yui created them but... it's just not that good. I would've preferred if Yui and Shiro only found a portal to the mirror world and freed the monsters instead of basically creating them, and if Ryuki won the Rider War and used his wish to go back in time and save little Yui and Shiro from their shitty parents so they don’t find their way into Mirror World and unleash the monsters. Kabuto: I hate how they shafted Hiyori. She's just a price for Kabuto to fight for and she never found her own resolutions. I wish Hiyori would've had more screentime and found her own resolve without Tendo. They even handled the "How human can a worm be?"-question with the female worm general. Which is cool and all, but why? Why not use Hiyori for that instead? Similarly Dark Kabuto needs more screentime. I always wanted him to basically meet his own supporting cast; people who don’t know Tendo already so that he can be human and learn more about himself. Which would've played way better into his ending. Den-O: The whole endgame is shit. Kai sucks. They could’ve handled the story a lot better. W: I already said it, the ending does nothing for me. Philip should’ve stayed dead. Another thing is that Skull/Sokichi ties into the story very poorly. During the first 10 or so episodes Shotaro is frightened to tell Akiko the truth about her father, then that gets dropped completely and much later when the former friend of Sokichi is released from prison and comes to the agency Akiko herself tells him "He passed away". Wut? When did you learn about that? I realize it was probably done through a movie but I hadn't watched that one at the time so I was super confused. And this is not a thing you should handle through a movie; it's an essential question for the show, especially if you use time from the show to set it all up. But W is infamous for handling important stuff through movies I guess. And of course, Akiko herself is annoying as hell. She's miles better than Onari but she's still a major pain in the ass most of the time. OOO: The final boss should've been Kougami as King OOO. That's all. Gaim: Yoko sucks. Completely mishandled character. I have some more pet peeves like Ryoma pulling the Yomotsuheguri Lockseed out of his ass and all the useless tie-ins, but as far as story and character goes I would only really changed Yoko. She should’ve realized that she should only follow herself and oppose Lord Baron, not because of what he’s doing is wrong but because she’s done being a toy. |

Akiko finds out her dad is dead in Begin Nights when Shotaro can't fight the Dummy Dopant who's mimicked Skull. W did the same with NEVER and how Futo Tower got destroyed in AtoZ

And the A to Z thing is actually something I prefer - a small easter egg for people who watched the movie. It’s not taking anything away from people who couldn’t watch the movie in time. |

Yeah but I think that kinda sucks. They should’ve at least handled the question about if Akiko gets told about her dad in the show, they can still have the plot with the Fake Skull aka Dummy Dopant in the movie.

So as far as I can tell people are just listing all the Rider seasons they've watched instead of just the ones they liked, so I will too.
Kuuga: Godai needed a bit more internal conflict, as he comes across as too perfect (and not in a fun Tendou way). I also think the Grongi are pretty flat villains, even though I love the whole concept of them playing a serial murder game. It was also too episodic for my taste. Agito: I really disliked most of this show. I think it would need an almost total rewrite and cast replacement. Someone on staff also liked bad camera filters waaaay too much. Ryuki: This show really should have been called Kamen Rider Knight, just saying. Also the explanation for the Mirror Monsters is brain-meltingly nonsensical. Then the whole show gets retconned out of existence by some Time Vent nonsense. I like this show but a lot of the parts of the endgame were just bad. 555: Fix the gaping plotholes and make Delta actually relevant. Blade: I personally don't like Kenzaki much because you never get a very good look at why he is the way he is and his motivations. I think the show would be greatly improved if they went into that. I think they should have just killed Leangle too, seeing as he contributed almost nothing to the show besides being terrible but characters are always going out of their way to save him. Kabuto: I think it is great how the Worms are mimics and pretend to be humans but beyond that pretty much every worm is the show is extremely samey. So maybe change up the Worms and give them more and varied powers would be good. Den-O: The plot is just bad. I know there is a greater focus on comedy in this season but the comedy really didn't do it for me either. I ultimately wasn't left with much to like in the end. I think a stronger emphasis on an overarching plot would have helped a lot. W: The CGI is really eye searing on occasion and just looks bad. Besides that I wish they would get rid of those darn doll episodes and I felt like a lot of episodes focused on Ryu ended up being weaker, so those could be rewritten. OOO: I don't like Eiji at all after the whole PuToTyranno thing, and I found myself longing for Date to suddenly become the lead. But seriously, I wish we had a different protagonist for this show. I also found the action sequences really weak in this one, so that could be fixed. Fourze: Easily the biggest issue with this show is how much most of the KRC ends up falling into the background as the show goes on. It really feels like wasted potential that you have this massive cast but they hardly do anything after a while. I also think the ending with Kengo coming back could have been explained better, I had to look up what the heck happened. Wizard: I think they should have played up the drama on this one. Most of the show feels like fluff but then you have episodes that are really interesting like with Gremlin being a serial killer and Haruto losing his powers but none of it REALLY goes anywhere. A bit of drama to add tension would have worked wonders. Gaim: Almost everyone in this show has very weak character development and it really drags it down for me. Just cut out those other episodes about soccer and Kikaida and go into the cast a little bit for heaven's sake!

So what if Kamen Rider got a English dub on TV in the 1970's in the US similar what happen with Ultraman in the 1960's? Do you think Kamen Rider would be more well known today or things would be the same as is now. In the 1970's, cyborg theme shows like The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman where pretty popular. So it would be interesting if Kamen Rider 1971 did got a English dub around that time period.
In the 1970's, we did got Specterman from P Productions dubbed in English. So I always wonder why no one wanted to bring Kamen Rider over in the US around that time. I know Hawaii had V3 on TV. I see people believe that the Hawaii TV channel that air V3 had the TV rights to Kamen Rider at the time period or that the TV shows could be view as too violent for kids at the time.

All this talk of what to change about riders seasons got me thinking that endings tend to be one of the weaker points of quite alot of rider seasons.
With that in mind what would guys say are the better endings to individual rider seasons?
