It would seem that using the Power Rangers model of recycling action footage, if Masked Rider and Dragon Knight are to be believed, won't work for Kamen Rider. So don't even think about that as an issue.
We're saying just do an entirely American adaptation of a Kamen Rider script / concept (a common enough practice, see the American version of the British original The Office). Or what Switchblade is suggesting, use the bones of a Kamen Rider series (in his, Black) and put it into a format that is 'easy to understand' (wandering hero). But have it produced, top to bottom, stateside. An aside: even as a seven year old, I found the Incredible Hulk to be repetitive and boring. You can only watch the Hulk beat up corrupt construction workers or hired thugs so many times!

Yeah, but those are the exception to the rule, aren't they? Ultimately, while it's cheaper to recycle, it sacrifices tonal continuity. That doesn't matter for Power Rangers because your average pre-teen doesn't care about production values - teens / young adults, who are generally angst ridden, do. Plus, recycling forces certain narratives which could hamper a writer.
I used to work in TV , folks (advertising - awful, awful stuff) - I know this stuff!

I think the preferable way to make a Rider show is to have Toei to ship off the props/costumes to a western studio and they make all original footage and use none of the stuff from the original. But if we are trying to get the reputation of Rider up, would it be a kids show on Nick or something? Or would it be on more mainstream channels/online platforms? If it's the latter, using my idea of reusing props wouldn't work, because modern Rider has such a flashy kid targeted design that not a lot of people would take it seriously. |

How would you even get the reputation of KR up? It's still, at the end of the day, a kids show. You're gonna miss your target demo if you aim to air it on Fox or whatever...

Look at your avi Not like 'kids show' stopped shows having fans outside the target demo before In alk seriousness, if they make an adaptation of Kabuto, they need to bring his original actor back, as he speaks fluent English

That's an inverse of the situation. Mine is a kid's show with a periphery demographic that comes in. Taking a kid's show and tossing it on a network that doesn't commonly air kid's shows (Probably at best airing family comedies) in hopes of disassociating itself with Power Rangers and Nick wouldn't be the right way to go about it.

Doctor Who is a show that can expect you to chuckle at something ridiculous one moment and then expect you to take it seriously the next. Sometimes it even expects both at the same time. It's a very unique sort of style and I think that's why it's occasionally hard for people to get into. Kamen Rider is very much the same way. Moments like the penultimate episode of Gaim come to mind, where (this really isn't a spoiler but I think it'll be a fun surprise if you haven't seen the show) Kouta takes a big hit and recoils dramatically while CG "fruit energy" flies out of the wound. Or Necrom's finishing attack as Sanzou that first gets used during a really tense moment.
