You know I still really don't understand the hate Ex-Aid's suit designs get. Like I understand that they're the exact opposite of traditionally cool, and I didn't much care for them at first myself, but they're so well thought out it their craziness, and so perfect for the show they're a part of, I just lost the ability to look at them with anything but fondness around 5 episodes in.

I find it so weird how they don't spell it "crusade." |

For me it's a combination of a large array of factors:
- The big anime eyes generally look really bad. - Ex-Aid's helmet with the funky anime hair (and the various Ex-Aid repaints by extension) - Everything about the level 1 suits (which, thankfully, rarely show up any more) - Almost every suit is a mishmash of garish and clashing colors: magenta and lime green, navy and neon yellow, canary yellow and pink, neon blue and neon orange, etc. - Most of the power-ups consist of attaching giant blocks of stuff to the base Rider suit. The vast majority of them do not color match the Rider they're attaching to (Ex-Aid and Snipe's red armor, Brave's yellow, Genm's pink and green). Several of them also fail to match up thematically, Brave's baseball cap and turntable being the worst offender. - The proportions on Maximum Mighty X and the fact that it's just regular Ex-Aid wearing a big suit. - The sparkly dreadlocked wtf-ery that is Muteki. To be fair, there are some suits I like - most of Brave's power ups, for example. Out of the entire show, though, there's only one suit that I would say is legitimately great: Dangerous Zombie. *See pretty much ALL Batman figure lines 1992-1999

Well, a lot of your problems seem to be against the show's overarching 90's 16bit console / action figure aesthetic which was incredibly garish, stupid and OTT*. If you weren't around to experience these things, thereby getting a nostalgic kick out of it - yeah, I can see the obnoxiousness being on the annoying side.

Why is Batman wearing a quilt?
At any rate, the 90s action figure aesthetic is not a good look. That's the same reason why I've always hate Sasword's Masked Form: it is every terrible 90s action figure design decision rolled up into one awful suit. |

Eh, it's an acquired taste.

Yes and a bad one, at that! But, what can I say? I love me some bad taste!
