Saw this shot rewatching Movie War Ultimatum and only just realized after a decade that Kamen Rider Meteor's shoes have his logo worked into the design.
Or maybe it's something I used to know and just forgot about somewhere over the years, but endearingly silly details like this are the kind of thing that usually sticks with me once I notice them!

The Meteor suit in general is just genius in terms of design, which makes it such a shame that Meteor Storm is so lackluster in comparison.

Which reminds me I remember back when the show aired in Japan I couldn't help but laugh at how the basic Meteor helmet looks like Suneo the rich kid from Doraemon while Meteor Storm looks like Super Saiyan Trunks.

Meteor is so cool and could have easily been the star of his own series, no pun intended. Meteor Storm was a travesty. It feels like the designer of Meteor knew they couldn't logically top the base suit and just phoned in a very obvious upgrade.
Usually when I don't like a Rider suit, I convince myself I'll like it far far into the future. Like how I've finally come around to liking the Blade suit. But I still think Meteor Storm is mediocre.

I think it's the colours that ruin it.

Funnily enough, this is exactly my story with Meteor Storm. I vividly remember immediately hating it back in 2012 for all the usual reasons everyone does, but I'm just sorta... over it, now, I guess? Like, it is just Meteor+, at the end of the day. If I like one suit a ton, I figure I might as well like the other suit at least a bit. Though it is still an upgrade suit I'd hesitate to call an upgrade, admittedly, which is always the hurdle there.

I just never understood the helmet. Is it supposed to be two meteors colliding? How are their two trails going in different directions?
Also clear yellow always looks cheaper than clear blue, and Storm's helmet looked especially plastic and toy-like. I think if they had swapped the yellow/gold for a light bluish silver and clear white, making the whole suit an overall brighter version of his base form, it'd look a lot better. |

Or if they made the base suit white and the yellow parts orange, like an explosion.

To add insult to injury, Meteor Storm's pull string top thing is the silliest and worst weapon upgrade in Rider

I wasn't going to chime in but now I have to.
Here to slide in to say that Meteor getting a pole shaft in which the finisher for it is letting loose a cosmic Beyblade against the opponent? One of the coolest things in Rider hands down. Last edited by Enchilada645; 03-16-2023 at 08:16 PM.. |
