The stripe of red being both the eyes and the open jaws, the mane-shoulder-armour thingy. Maybe it just doesn't look amazing in motion, idk.

For me the main issue with both is how the Base Suits are honestly fantastic for me. Whoever designed Meteor's' Base Form suit is a genius, and I DO like the Matador theme of Beast, it's just unfortunately attached to a character who I've grown to dislike. Plus, Hyper Beast proved itself unneeded not only when it was shown that its gun can be used at any time(even unmorphed), but by having Wizard's' Infinity Form debut literally right after.

Toss in the RNG nature of his weapon and he tends to feel more like a joke character than a major hero.

And you know? I'd be fine with all that if not for how Shunpei is literally right there, having already filled the goofball role of the cast(and doing it way better), ontop of having way better chemistry with the rest of the cast than Kosuke ever will. Seriously, Kosuke just feels so redundant in every way and it's unfortunate.

Same here. That movie is awesome.
