Replace "theme" with "gimmick" and you have my wish in a nutshell. Rider (and Sentai) are being over gimmicked to sell toys. I'm not saying the product placement should go away completely, but rather it needs to be better balanced and the gimmick needs to actually complement the show.

Also, the formula needs to be changed up. Instead of insane amounts of power ups and forms and a single additional Rider that's pointless, let's have few form changes and many Riders that exit when no longer needed. Kind of like Ryuki, but less Highlander-y please. That would be a good change of pace and still have plenty of toys for them to sell.




PS I'd also like the darker tones of the early Heisei back (pretty much any show from Kuuga to Kabuto, give or take), but I don't see that happening anytime soon. *sigh* I miss when people were stuffed into trees in Kamen Rider.
