Its not fun :( can we just make a thread about tokusatsu's cast scandal or anything and move the problem there? Let's just focus on the show guys.

I can agree with this.

I will say, I think the people freaking out over "cancel culture" are overreacting just as much, if not more, than anyone saying they won't watch Revice because of this or that they wish Toei would hire someone else for the role. But I'll spare you all that soapbox speech.

Kids live in the social media age though now, i'm quite confident in saying many kids follow their favourite celebs on social media

If we're talking about 5 year olds then yeah they probabaky won't ever notice, but if we're talking about kids 10 and up a lot of them will probabaly look him up and follow him on social media, I don't think thats unlikely at all really

I grew up in the early 2000s and even I would look up the celebrities I liked as early as when I was like 8 years old, and so did most of my friends, it was already common then

I think this is the exact sort of situation a lot of people are worried about, even if he's not physically in the show being a Kamen Rider means there will be a chunk of kids who associate him with being a hero, and that just feels kind of gross

I'd agree that it's unreasonable conceptually to expect toei to care what any of us think, but it just feels overall weeeeiiird, while I get why some people can shrug it off, I also get why this is enough for others to not even feel comfortable pirating the show

It's just a very specific situation, I don't think anyone has an achievable solution on our end of things, or answer that'll work for everyone, so it just kinda sucks

EDIT: I agree this probabaly deserves its own thread or it'll totally overwhelm any other talk about the show from here on

I’d agree on moving it to its own thread, though I think we’ve all more or less said our piece.

Kamen Rider Revice Soundtrack Ver.0 released nice to hear some horns

Yeah, everybody's said what they had to say, myself included, we should get back to talking about this exciting new season. I'm way too young and hip to read through more pages of this controversy.

Anyway... Looks quite good, although I'd like to see some alternate forms before I give my verdict. I hope it doesn't look good enough to buy a whole 'nother year of Sodo.

My only complaint about Revice is the color-scheme. Another Anniversary Rider, another Pink-toned Rider. I guess this is going to be the norm now?

Seeing as the two riders are split into different names: Revi & Vice, are we gonna get some Ultraman R/B vibes on them?

Like Ultraman Rosso + Ultraman Blu = Ultraman Reube?
