So what you're saying is franchises can't change or be experimental?

But also this and all of your writing thus far has just given me one point of view of this entire situation. You have a vision of what Kamen Rider should be in your head and anything that strays from that vision is "bad writing". Just say that a Rider series isn't for you and just move on at this point.

That's also not getting into how just... terrible this statement reads at all. And your attempt at elaborating still does not make this read any better btw.

You're going to refute this point btw, and tell me I'm wrong. I really don't care tbh. But I know what I see because I see the same in a lot of Rider fans. And I'm just putting this out here for anyone who comes across it to see. Because it's a damn problem in this fandom that needs to be addressed and it's tiring to see people try and promote their personal distaste for a series as objective criticism. A rigidness of people unwilling to realize that times are changing and that things will be different than what they originally saw.
