You're telling me. I just... HOW did Eternal get his own movie? Just how?

W Forever was rather popular, I guess that at the time a spin-off of it sounded like a good idea.

Because Eternal is awesome.

You're funny.

But he isn't. He's literally awful in every way. He has no personality, no character, he's a terrible rider deisgn, and not even very attractive.

He fails on every level.

I'm allowed to like him >_<

I liked him too, at the very least he was an entertaining antagonist. And a villanous Kamen Rider in W opened some very interesting discussion over what means to be a Rider.

Then again I love everything W related. :p

I have no idea who this is. So I looked him up, and that has to be one of the worst Rider designs I have ever seen. He looks like a mock up, a prototype, completely unfinished. I clicked across hoping Red Flare was just the base form, but then the other ones just added a cape and green glow. How shit.

Red Flare it's mean to look incomplete since it's not the true form of Eternal, but it is bland as heck; as for Blue Flare and his Super Mode personally I like them, but they are basically the W suit in white and without the cool details so I can understand why you hate it.

Because it's 90 minutes of Minase Yashiro in tiny shorts and that is awesome.

Her sexiness can't even save that film. Eternal was a non-character in A-Z anyway, so seeing him star in his own movie was just about the most random thing I could have imagined at the time. To start the costume's a fairly simple pallet swap and remold of the base W body, but not in the same way that made Skull awesome, Eternal came off generic and cheap looking. But he was characterized so poorly in his first film, then it was like Toei decided he needed to be some kind of badass anti-hero for the V-Cinema which made no sense. And he really wasn't either.

If you're out there and you like Eternal that's cool, I just don't share the sentiment. Would I own his figure one day to fill out my W display? Sure. But I really don't care for the guy enough to seek the SHF out.
