I crave a Shin Godzilla-esque take on Dai-Shocker, where we delve into the administration of this world. I want to know more about the Shocker Combatman who serves as a school superintendent. I want it more than I want the next two episodes of Decade!

That is a pretty terrific/funny/terrifically-funny monster design.

I thought this one had a clearer emotional arc for the Legend Rider, which puts it ahead of the Black/RX stuff for me. It was leveraging Amazon's specific worldview in a way that was easy to invest in, even if the actor was a massive obstacle. I got what was happening, why it was happening, and why the characters cared about it. That may sound like a pathetically low bar to clear, but not every Decade story has managed to clear it!
