The Flaw of Wizard
 

While I have been enjoying Kamen Rider Wizard thus far, I do think its somewhat bland in comparison to other Rider shows.

After talking it over with some other viewers we agreed on one major problem right now:

Haruto is a BORING main character.

We came to that conclusion because so far, Haruto has no apparent outside interests. He's either fighting Phantoms or hunting for new Phantoms.

Meanwhile, most Riders before Haruto have had a job or secondary purpose beyond the costume (Gentaro was a student, Eiji was a busboy/waiter, Shotaro a detective, Tsukasa took photos, etc.)

Does anyone else agree? Would exploring Haruto's interests and motivations like that be a good thing for the series?

Yes!

Why it would it really doesn't fit with well a Wizard. Playing a lot of Table top RPG has though me that Wizards love magic and that is generally about it, Wizards spend most of there life studying to master magic and use there magic to either help / mess around with people or be just plan crazy. Also I like Haruto basic character he is just a guy who want to save the world and bring hope to all and that is Haruto's character he is basic but I dont fell he needs to be anymore complicated then a crazy magician.

That's been my main problem all along. Haruto is bland, bland, bland. Compare to ANY of the recent riders and he may as well be in a coma. Contrast that with the costumed actor - all style and personality.

If they were trying to show that Haruto only becomes emotive when he's dressed as Wizard, that'd be an interesting characteristic. But they've never even hinted at that and right now it's like there's two different people. Haruto being boring and indifferent, Wizard being stylish and awesome.

Haven't I been saying this for the past 6 weeks?
Haruto is boring. He seems more content just sitting on his ass and waiting for the CotW's story to move the plot along rather than doing so himself.

This ^^ .Haruto is perfect as is

No, he's not. Unless the perfect character to you is dull, flat, lifeless, and uninteresting.

I'm waiting for him to crack. I'm hoping they play that sooner than later.
Just give us a Gate or 2 that he can't save and has to put down and maybe he'll start losing control of Dragon as he slips into the despair of not being able to be everyone's hope.

This is something I can see happening. We are only a 11 episodes or so in. They are still setting everything up, selling a few toys , establishing bad guys. Character development can still happen.

He doesn't need a personality, his belt has a good enough to carry this whole season. Shabadoobie!
