We had too much focus on the Gate's to be fair, but it was nice to understand them, so the people Haruto were saving didn't just function as window dressing. Sure Kuuga was full of carnage and gore, but it also had no soul or heart either, as it never focused on the people inside the carnage and what they were feeling, they had no faces, no names and we had no reason to care about the individual, or the mass either.
That's an entirely valid point. Personally, though, I prefer my Riders to be the sole hero (or small group of heroes) holding back the seemingly unstoppable tide of evil. If I have to pick between Shocker trying to take over the world or Gamou wanting to meet aliens, I want Shocker. Not that the other story isn't valid, I just like the other one more.
