It's fine for the narrative to shortcut that stuff on a second run-thru, I think?

I think they tried to squeeze too much in to this story, by making it Geiz's origin and his extra final form debut and New Sougo's and Tsukuyomi's origin, even though their only contribution here is being Geiz's friends instead of having their own reasons. There was no commitment to doing this origin story for everybody. Maybe there should've been a time skip, where Kamen Rider Zi-O, Geiz and Tsukuyomi are already active after getting their powers offscreen, so you could just pick up Geiz's development from there and leave the rest to the imagination.

Not exactly a V-Cinema, but we did get Rider Time Zi-O VS Decade, which continues their story in a way that even I enjoyed. Look forward to that!
