Oh ready? When the last time we have a Main Kamen Rider who not only inadvertently created the villain group but created his own belt and become Kamen Rider?!

It's been done before. That's all.

But let's not focus on how the name is clever or anything and just instead again get defensive because it's been done before.

I judged Ghost and Drive on their designs and I was right. Both of those are garbage and childish, especially Ghost.

I just can't take this Kamen Rider seriously. This series has to be an all out comedy one because that is the only way it will work, and I'm tired of light hearted, comedic Kamen Ride series. I want the show to go back to being more mature like Agito, Blade, Hibiki, and Kiva. Ever since Gaim ended the show is just trying to be Den-O 2.0. Toei has now put Kamen Rider into the same safe zone they have put Sentai, which defies the whole point for the two shows airing back to back. One was supposed to be for kids and more childish while the other was supposed to be for a slightly older demographic with more mature storytelling. Now, there is no difference between the two.

Can someone explain the name to me? "Emu"/"M" isn't really making much sense...

As far as cliche goes, I think pretty much every Kamen Rider series is conceptually cliched -- it's the execution of the cliches that makes each series special. I've never seen Kamen Rider do this configuration (main rider responsible for the baddies, also for creating the Rider tech himself), which is about as fresh as you can hope for from a 45 year old franchise, IMO...
