Movie Time! Party (P-A-R-T-Y!) Edition!

-This movie is a really wild "What If?" story of an "ending" for Zi-O...If Heigen Forever was like, this sentimental event reflecting on the Heisei era, Over Quartzer is like, the bizzare farewell party that you can only half-remember the next day?

-It's hard to explain why I like this movie: it's isn't a solid all-rounder like A to Z, doesn't have the bombastic thrill of Megamax, nor a solid emotional core like TDS, but like....I think I love this movie, because it's a really fun mess?

-First off, I kinda adore the slighty more jokey tone this movie has? Considering this is technically our Drive tribute, this kinda flavor of humor fits?

-Speaking of Drive, it's Krim! and Gou! However brief and little involved they were in this plot, it was nice to seem them again!

-Geiz wearing his little vest while in costume and Tsukuyomi trading her cape for a veil, that's adorable?

-The Giant Crowd in this movie is a real minor thing but it kinda helps elevate things here and there, super fun.

-I know the premise of this movie is incredibly silly (what if there a another Tokiwa Sougo who was the real baddie all along, and our Sougo was never meant to be king) but I think it leads to a really cool idea to Sougo to ponder on for a beat?

-I mean, maaaaaybe it's because I was so tired of Swartz I was open to anyone else stepping up to the plate, but I really enjoyed the jail scene between Sougo and Woz? Just hit all the right buttons for me.

-I love how it's all "generic "All Rider" Sequence".....and then Brain shows up. Zangetsu? The GoRiders?! G?????? Manga Kuuga?????? Picking and choosing what to remember is no good concerning history, you gotta take all of it in! Even the bits you hide away in closets, or only find inbetween the cushions of your couch after years and years?

-I think the final form Rider Kick is good, not because its hype or anything, but the cut screams being sewn together so bizzarely ("AHehOUAUGHHE-"), it makes me laugh.

-Seems like a certain Rider has hopped into view! It's a story we haven't started yet, so I don't wanna jump to dicussing in detail, but I can just say? I do like the first look at Zero-One is a nightmare of Sougo's, and the second is him immediately slamming into a garage door!? What a stunning first impact for our rising hero, wouldn't you say?

-A bit of a shame you didn't enjoy this one, but totally understandable! OQ to me is just a little hour-or-so outing into the wild lands of AU territory, and I tend to take things like that a whole deal less seriously?
