I will agree that the plot was stagnant until Nitou showed up, but every Kamen Rider from W on has been that way until the second rider appears, so I've come to expect that.

It didn't have a plot purpose, but it was important to his character.

As for Maki as a character, you're free to feel whatever you want.

I fail to see why I should care what the doll was supposed to symbolize, it was just there for stupid comedy, something that OOO could have used a little less of. I'm not saying it had to get completely serious, but it needed to take things a lot more seriously than it did.

Anyway, on to Wizard, it's had subpar villains (Both in terms of generals on MOTWs), pointless characters, and all the gates stories (Ungrateful assholes who don't take the fact that a monster is trying to murder them until the last 8 minutes where something redeems them) have all been the same.

I would take Phoenix, Medusa, and Gremlin over Uva, Mezool, and Kizaru any day of the week. And subpar MOTW? What about Beelzebub, Spriggan, Gargoyle, Legion, and Argos? Those were pretty awesome MOTW.

You say the show has pointless characters, but again, that is every Kamen Rider series. Wizard has Shunpei and Koyomi. OOO had the girl assistant. Fourze had half of its cast. W had the useless cops. Decade had the grandfather and Natsumi, Den-O had Naomi, Hana, and Ryotaro's sister, 555 had the likes of Keitaro, etc.
