REVIVAL POST!! Shin trailer dropped.

My unhealthy obsession with trench coats has convinced me that I need to watch this movie.

I like how the marketing seems to come from Shocker themselves, I know they're going for a more Happy Science thing than the nazis but I feel this would be done by Ishinomori himself if he were alive and working today, kinda gives Shocker a more... Familiar, friendly vibe which would be an accurate way of showing his anti fascist views by being a metaphor for how some truly awful people can be 'that friendly person across the street' or whatever by being a massive chud

There is a very Showa feel in this that I love, yet also very modern action movie but Tokusatsu to the core.

It looks as though the trench coat might be functioning as a "disguise" and the "transformations," which I thought at first was going to be nanomachines, son, is probably going to be similar to The First where they just pop on the helmet.

And this modern take on Shocker is very interesting, it's not the comical take-over-the-world, mustache twirling villains they've been 50 years ago, but still has that feel to them even without the evil facade, and that honestly makes them feel more terrifying. They're not trying to spread fear in the open but operating from the shadows and possibly having a presence in the everyday world manipulating things to their design.

I'm excited for when this appears next yet, but first, there's Shin Ultraman to look forward to.

Now all we need is an official announcement for Shin Super Sentai and we're officially very good to go! :D

I hope we get some Eva x KR stuff similar how they did with Shin Godzilla. Having a SHF Ichigo figure with Eva 01 colors would be cool.

Alright, so I'm absolutely in love with about 90% of this.

But I will say that what little action we see looks a bit... jarring. It reads more like what you'd see on Revice or Saber or Zero-One than what you'd expect from a cinematic Kamen Rider production. That's not a slight to modern Kamen Rider series, I'd just expect that with a movie budget comes movie action.

Otherwise, this is giving me big Shiki-Jitsu vibes, and I am here for it.

I'm honestly of the exact opposite mindset, but after 80$ Eva lobsters, they'd probably be down to slap the Eva logo on anything so people would buy it

Honestly the whole teaser felt that way. It's weird to have such somber, serious cinematography and then hard cut to the old goofy Rider 1 design doing the poses. It's jarring and kind of silly.

This movie looks like a great balance between modern and classic. I love it.
