I think James Gunn getting people into Kamen Rider is a good thing. People who like gatekeeping is a bad thing because they want things all to themselves.

Franchises thrive on success to keep itself alive. To push people who show interest out is a self-destructive move for a fandom (looking at you hardcore Star Wars Expanded Universe fans).

One of my biggest gripes of today's world is that there are some people who claim to be inclusive but actually aren't, and there are people who claim to be tolerant but aren't.

Let us try our best to be inclusive here. At the end of the day were here to watch people in suits shoot colorful bursts of CGI and pyrotechnics at each other.

Whoa, really?!? That's news to me!

The more this conversation goes on, the more I have to wonder if anyone complaining about social justice types have actually... met any... because in my experience, a lot of them reject very obvious pandering attempts; have wildly varying opinions on media like SU and RWBY; and those that actually know about Toku tend to adore it. Just a very different picture from what's being imagined here is all I'm saying.

A little more on topic:

James Gunn for Kamen Rider Zero-One American adaptation. :rock:

Yeah! I believe they discovered it, or at least came out, relatively recently!

That's been my experience too.

I don't know why, I feel like James Gunn is more likely to direct an Ultraman adaptation more than a Kamen Rider adaptation.

Mostly because Ultraman is aggressively pushing their western push while Kamen Rider is barely starting. Plus Gunn feels more fitting to be with Ultraman I think.

Yeah, i remember reading a YouTube comment where a guy said that whenever his sister watched Power Rangers, she couldn’t care less about Trini or Kimberly. Her favourite was always Tommy. And even then, she was more a fan of Sailor Moon than Power Rangers, which probably says something, but I’m not sure what.

I'd be down for a Gunn directed Ultraman film.
There's always just been something about Ultraman that really keeps me from getting hooked.
