You know, the frustrating thing about Toei is that, despite constantly forcing crossovers down our throat every year, they never really go all the way with it. Kamen Rider kind of exists in a connected world... except it doesn't. New Kamen Riders use the powers and abilities of old riders but they rarely have any meaningful interaction them. Even worse, old Kamen Riders never really talk with their Kouhai about meaning of the title and the sacrifices they would have to make by taking it.

I'm not asking for special where Build and Ex-Aid are forced to come to terms with the fact they will now be fighting Shocker for all eternity, because lord knows that even if something were to happened to them they will be brought back from the dead every single time those damn zombies come back, I just want something that shows that they actually give a damn about their legacy. Say what you will about Ultraman's crossovers, at least they give you a reason to give a damn about its heroes.

As for the movie itself... I didn't hate it. It was exactly what I expected from a Super Hero Taisen movie. I kind of want to say that the video game versions of these characters shouldn't be compared so closely to their real life counterparts, maybe this version of Kagura is an adult?, but I don't really want to give this movie that much credit so...
