I love the designs in Shin, and what they were trying to do with the story was okay but... it just fell apart when they tried to execute it. I’ve tried watching it twice now and have fallen asleep both times. :T

I don't hate it, but it's definitely not the best execution of the ideas within. The effect work is gorgeous, but the plotting is messy, the characters are a little bland, and the fact it never gets a definite ending is a misstep in hindsight. That being said, Shin (the character) is one of my favourite riders in recent years, mainly due to how much pity a Decade web-movie can give.

I like the ending theme song of Shin. It suits the film. Flop or not it had its moments. Funny thing Ishinomori considered BLACK Kamen Rider 0 in terms of back to basics like I said before but apparently according to the Japanese wikipedia page he also dubbed this no.0 later on from what I picked up at a glance. It is interesting to see him be fixated on this whole back to basics thing during his late years. Fun fact his son Joe Onodera who was Kotaro's friend in RX also appears as a support role this time again as one of Shin's buddies, but different person from RX.

I like Shin for a lot of the same reasons I like The Next,..the horror movie elements in a Rider story.

If you guys could add one guest character in the Climax Fighters for the PS4, who would it be? I would pick Skullman or 009 from Cyborg 009 because I feel like those two have some connection to Kamen Rider.

Supaidaman would be neat.

Other Tokusatsu heroes, in general, could be fun. Add Ultraman with a miniature city-level so it seems like giants are fighting, add a Sentai Red who summons his team for attacks, a Metal Hero of sorts etc.

I feel in recent years, Toei love to make some of funny general villains. Example:

1. Brain (Drive)
2. Igor (Ghost)
3. Ren Amagasaki (Ex-Aid)
4. The 3 Smash Generals from Hokuto (Build)

Maybe Toei want to make story to become not too serious and not too dark?

possibly, their last attempt at making a more child friendly series (Fourze) wasn-t too good

sometimes a comedy can enhance a horrific situation. For example if dracula walk down a stair case then tripped but was completely unhurt by the fall. it would be momentarily funny but you would then realize that this guy didn't get hurt at all and is only mildly annoyed meaning hitting him won't help because crashing down stairs barely phases him.

the 3 hard smash are the same thing their morons but then you realize one they turned into smash of their own will and 2 they know what their doing with all that power means your in trouble. Granted these 3 don't know anything more complicated that hit something till it dies and all 3 attack at once so far but their dangerous enough as is. and that their idiots means they could do something catastrophic and not realize they have done it until its too late so giving 3 idiots super human powers is funny but horrifying at the same time. Same with igor hes an idiot but his science is more like a child playing with insects and pulling their legs and claiming he is a scientist.
