No, he looks like a children’s Tokusatsu character. That's what they all look like.

And people also flipped their shit once they saw a "Fruit Ninja" who transforms by getting his head replaced by a giant fruit. Turns out the show was good. So no, you can’t judge a show by its design.

No they are not. Drive is a solid show. Ghost is trash, but Drive was good. You just had to stick around a bit to witness it, which sucks, but the show wasn’t as bad as Ghost.

I’m sure Toei’s marketing board is shedding a collective tear because a grown ass man in America isn’t taking Kamen Rider serious anymore.

What? How do you now it can only work through comedy? Are we ignoring the countless shows that worked without heavy comedy or…? Oh I forgot, the suits look a bit silly and the theme is videogames, there's no way they could make that work without relying heavily on comedy, right? Much like they couldn’t make street dancing fruit warriors work without relying heavily on comedy?

Watch Amazons.

Nope. Even with Ghost's heavy focus on silliness, Den-O was a lot more silly and soap opera-ish. Unlike Den-O both Drive and Ghost also have a working set of antagonists and a story that goes somewhere as opposed to Den-O's nonexistent plot.

How strange, because Zyuohger's actually good.

With Ghost that’s the case yeah, but Drive was much more mature than Ninninger. And just because the design of the suits could interest younger kids doesn’t mean the show will be lighthearted.

Also I hear the "Sentai and Kamen Rider target different audiences"-argument a lot but I never saw a source for that. I’m pretty sure it’s not really the case for a long time now, if it ever has been.

I grew up in the 90's and have fond memories of them, wacky colors and fashion are not among those. The suit colors of Ex-Aid are horrible.
