Agreed, it's a fantastic actions sequence, sloppy and dirty, exactly what would happen if you give a former street brawler a reason to hate your guts, a power scaling operation and a fisher price glock.

It's far removed from the flashy, clean debuts secondary Riders can have, Riders who are immediately and flawlessly able to master their new powers, win their first fight and then go on like nothing happened.

Not our chocolate man, he gets in there hurt badly, he wins because he's too angry to loose, and knows he screwed up by giving in to the one thing the very person he did all of this for warned him about.

Although the team-up can still and most likely will happen in the future, but yeah, it's funny how things work right now

That might just be Suga though. Valen is his lab rat right now, who knows to what end.

All valid points!
