It might be helpful to address the content of a post before assuming the poster is a dimwit.
There definitely was more to discuss about the show than what we saw with the toy releases at the time (i.e. the production staff), and I was sincerely curious how Toei doing something unprecedented behind the scenes impacted the perception that they are playing it safe with Ryusoulger the show as opposed to Ryusoulger the toyline. I still am curious.

I never made any assumptions nor did I insinuate that you were a dimwit though? I visit a different forum where this literally happened too with the guy I was arguing yelling that I'm holding a grudge against him and can't stand him having an opinion, so forgive me for not understanding why people assume I hold grudges against them just because I disagree with them on the internet
"Do you think hiring a head writer from outside of the established tokusatsu writer pool for literally the first time in franchise history indicates an effort on Toei's part to play it safe?" That is the question I asked and which you still haven't engaged with. I didn't ask why people think Toei is playing it safe. If you have half a brain, the answer to that is extremely obvious. So obvious I included the reasoning in my initial post. Yet that is the question you answered, twice, as though I was an idiot who couldn't comprehend basic facts. And that is why I interpreted your post as part of a grudge -- because you seemed to aggressively approach my post from the position that I was a dimwit who didn't understand something extremely obvious. We're not even disagreeing because I still don't know your answer to the question I posed. I don't really care if you and I agree. I'm not here to debate you, I'm here to read other people's perspectives on things, especially when they're different from my own. |

I mean, there's no doubt that conceptually -- as far as the look and the toys are concerned -- they are treading on familiar ground. But I'm not sure that will have much impact on the actual show, given the apparent effort to bring in a fresh voice to steer the ship.

Here's the thing. You're framing this as an argument. I'm not trying to argue, I'm trying to facilitate discussion. Maybe that argumentative mindset is why some people think you're holding a grudge.

I think in terms of themes and concepts they are playing it safe as previous dino teams performed well sales-wise, but in terms of writing I feel like they are taking somewhat of a chance to try and get some new perspective and try to improve the story/show. The approach did wonders for Build I felt so I hope it does the same for this season.
But as the show actually unfolded, we saw that the creators weren't interested in playing things safe; they just saved the risks they were going to take for the story they wanted to tell and the characters they wanted to develop. Build ended up being one of the freshest, boldest, and most original Kamen Rider series I've seen -- despite, conceptually, seeming extremely safe at the outset. (I'd even suggest that it's because the concepts and gimmicks were safe that Build was able to get away with taking its biggest narrative risks.) Because of the writer Toei has chosen to spearhead it, I fully expect the same to happen with Ryusoulger. The concepts may be safe and the set-up may be well-worn, but that doesn't mean the the show will necessarily be a copy of anything we've seen in the past. The familiarity of the premise will probably allow the writers to experiment and take risks with the things that actually matter: the story and the characters. So, yeah, I'm super optimistic. |
