This made me realize why I hate Power Rangers so much now.
They never shut the fuck up.
Like, a little banter is fine, naming weapons and attacks is fine, but jesus, they just keep talking, and talking, and talking...
"Dude, this new Power is spectacular! Hiya! Like I can move with the wind! Yeah! Prism Spark Rod! And I can hit like a tornado, too! Don't believe me? Check this out! Electric Power Slash! Haha! Yeah, see ya tomorrow, creeper! This is totally amazing! How about you Troy?"

Rewatching Ryuki because...it's my all time favorite show so why not?

Up to episode..13 I think. Yeah, still as awesome as I remember it being. Think this is my third time rewatching the whole season start to finish, with a few partial watches or random episodes here and there.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love Zolda and he is the best character in Rider ever? Sure I have. Also Kitaoka and Gorou-chan, best bromance ever.

OMG that is awful, I haven't really bothered much with the newer seasons and just...damn, they really just do not stop fucking talking.

Really makes me appreciate fight scenes in Kamen Rider where there may be a line or two here or there, but for the most part they aren't monologuing the entire damn time.

Also, what a waste that they just call them all "legendary ranger mode" instead of taking half a second to come up with some sort of name/call for them.

I personally wasn't even aware other toku adaptations by Saban like Beetleborgs or Masked Rider existed until the past couple of years that I've been learning more about tokusatsu in general. I'm not even sure that any of them aired in Mexico, so I may not have even had the chance to watch them. Even if they did, I was born in 96, so most of those 90's shows are just before my time. Earliest I can really concretely remember watching Power Rangers is around Lost Galaxy, and not very well at that. My only exposure to adaptations from that era has happened recently, and I certainly can't say I'm a fan. I tried to watch some Mighty Morphin a while ago. Pretty unbearable too.
This opinion. It is a correct opinion. I share this opinion.

You mean to tell me I've actually been watching Riderman this WHOLE TIME?! NOOOOO!

I really need to re-watch Ryuki. I loved it, but so many of the finer details I can't remember, just the main plot beats.
I might decide to give it a re-watch, too, once I finish Gingaman.

Yeah. When I went back and watched Turbo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, and Time Force, I realized that I wasn't really bothered by bad acting, so I couldn't pin down why current day PR bothered me so much, but that one clip kind of hit the nail on the head and helped me realize what my issue was :lol

And yeah...One of SMF's many missteps.

I was going to say the same thing. It's like they're afraid the audience will get bored if someone isn't talking every single second of the fight scenes.

Yeah, but that's what's weird about it. MMPR gets a pass for being first and having actual charm, I get that, but stuff like VR Troopers never seems to provoke the same level of instant disgust from people as Masked Rider for some reason.

Oh man, no kidding. Audio is huge part of creating *atmosphere* in film of any kind so the nonstop banter in newer PR really takes me out of the experience. I think it may have genuinely given me a headache at one point or another.

I made an attempt at rewatching Ryuki in full a while ago. I sort of petered out around when Raia showed up (I think?), but it wasn't because I didn't enjoy it. If anything, I was really impressed by just how many early episodes of Ryuki are really good. I think there's a general sentiment that Rider shows usually take a bit to get in gear but Ryuki seemed to know what it was doing almost right away.

FACT: If every one of Super Megaforce's missteps were treated as equivalent to an average human footstep, they would circle the globe roughly 72 times.

Maybe don't check the math on that one. :lol

Yeah that's wrong. It's obviously more.

Couldn't that be simply because more people are into Kamen Rider? Metal Hero isn't as popular, so there just won't be as many people around to see an old crappy adaption as a personal affront, like there are for Rider.

Also, does VR Troopers have anything like Ferbus? Cause like. That may play a part. Just throwing that out there.

But well, that's just my thought. Who knows.
