OMG!!! Is this fanart? Your art? Someone's art? Props to the artist! I'd hang this on a wall in a heartbeat.

As for the doc itself, I too thought it was full of emotion and detail in a way I never would've expected. Of all the Tokusatsu which could be addressed in an hour-long retrospective...

It's exactly the format someone would want if they were addressing Kamen Rider Black or Gokaiger or Dairanger. It was also chock full of toku references which helped acknowledge it's relations and origins. They didn't bother to use the phrase "tokusatsu" as I recall, but they covered the slack in ways that are excusable.

The amount of heart from the people involved is very deep. You really can't look at Toei Spider-Man the same way again!

The fact that they made this the very first episode of the 616 series is most gratifying. From a marketing standpoint, it's probably Marvel's oblique way to try and get in on the recent "tokusatsu is a hot sell in the West" trend we've been seeing lately. The Marvel Ultraman comic is definitely symptomatic of that trend (though they didn't reference Ultraman for what are obvious reasons).

This will most likely lead to the Toei Spider-Man being licensed for Disney+ as they made reference to the 2009 online release of the series (which I believe is an outdated and defunct release). I wouldn't mind a Blu-Ray disc, but I'm not holding my breath right now.

My biggest desire out of all of them is if Leopardon is in Spider-Verse 2! If that assumption is proven to be true, then a figure won't be far behind! Even a small Marvel Legends figure of Toei Spider-Man or Leopardon would be acceptable.

They made such a deal of this series never getting past Japan back in the day. If only the Executives back then could've gotten a glimpse of the future...
