To be honest, the giant monsters body shape in Kiramager and Zenkaiger are really similar to giant monsters from Ultraman because the giant monsters in Kiramager and Zenkaiger are has kaiju-type body.

The reason they're doing it they way they are now is that they can reuse the monster bodies every episode and just make new heads to plop on top. Unless Sentai's budget goes up, I wouldn't count on that changing anytime soon.

Not really sure there are going to even be many giant monster fights this year, what with the Alters taking the place of traditional mechs and those fights taking place in a CGI alternate universe (if the rumors are true).

Yea, it's the same with Kamen Rider monsters, in that they use the same lower bodies with some new bits on the upper torso. And even then the monsters slowly get phased out for villainous Kamen Riders, since they're easily more marketable, and they stick around for much longer than monsters to begin with.

This is because the monster is obviously doomed to fail. But with Ryder, options are possible. At the very least, he can die or be corrected. Therefore, it is more interesting to watch them.

Not really. In the last decade we've had many, many Riders who essentially just do the same thing as a final boss kaijin would do (Solomon, Evolt, Cronus etc), and in the past we've had many monsters like in Faiz, W and Kuuga who stuck around for a lot longer -- some even over the course of the entire show. There's no real rule to this beyond Riders being more marketable.

Yes, because they are his replacement, evolution. For kaijin no longer seems like a worthy threat.

And at least one of them survived? Kaijin in this show is doomed from the start: he or the villain who will be slain; or an ally monster. For the most part, Rider's fate is hidden in the fog. Well, yes, let's say you can predict that if the evil Rider appears 5-10 episodes before the end, then he is just the final boss, but (taking Ex-Aid as an example) you initially expect more from Parado than from Grafite.

Then Toei would have filmed a season without kaijins, where in each episode the enemy is a new evil Rider. But in this case, it will no longer be so interesting. But I agree that this is not a rule, but a trend that is bound to change.

That said, I kinda wish there was either a sentai or rider show where the villains are like the Vyram from Jetman but also have budget issues. I hope this show is the one that does it.
:lolol

It would be cool if there were human-looking villains in the show with inhuman rangers.

You mean like, the villains themselves are running out of budget to make monsters?

Cause if that's what you mean, I fucking LOVE that idea.

That's exactly what I mean. :lolol
Mid-season it would be them just trying out all sorts of ponzi schemes and repeatedly fail until their boss steps in Thanos style.
