What a Kamen Rider should be is heroic. I heard that Kamen Riders have only started being more explicitly heroic post-Decade, but I like this change. You can be heroic in a dark universe (I heard Ryuki was this, but I haven't watched it yet), but I'd really hate for borderline evil superheroes. Heck, even Accel, Ankh and Meteor became heroes/anti-heroes in their own right.

If Fourze killed off all the students at Amanogawa High, without a really, really good reason, I will divorce myself from that series altogether.

Ryuki is super dark. Even the 3 guys who think they're being "heroic" by doing what they do are some evil bastards. It's the guys (like Ryuki himself) who fight to protect that wind up being truly heroic in that world.
