You're probably right to be concerned, as this material is highly flammable. (Long story short: your perspective will resonate with some people and will do whatever the reverse of resonating is with other people. I'm happy to talk about it via PM.) It's probably best to steer this conversation back to Kamen Rider ZiO as quickly as possible.

Some people have noticed the silhouettes we've seen so far have been relatively slight, plus a specific rumor was talking about a female main Rider this year; that's where this came from. My suspicion is that if said silhouettes do reflect something like this, I still think it's more likely that this year's Rider is considerably younger, maybe a 'tween.

With long-running properties, people tend to want to see said property do something different from time to time. "Something different" could also apply to, say, a middle-aged protagonist. With late-teens-early-20's males, narratives tend to stick to a relatively small subset of shounen-hero types.

Rider has tried a few personality types I hadn't seen before in the past, which has sometimes been received well (Den-O: "the Rider is a wimp!") and sometimes, less well (Kiva: "the Rider is a shut-in!".) YMMV. I always hope for something a little new when a new series debuts.

I have to say that now people have pointed out the Rolex thing, I can't unsee it.
