And I meant his suit design, one of the least threatening looking villains ever, he looked absolutely ridiculous.

Oh pfft, why didn't you just say so? Yeah, he does look kinda silly, because of his headdress. (which does something pretty cool, though) But the final villain design is incredible, so I can forgive him.

Well awesome in your opinion, I thought the fight choreography was really bad, it had no sense of motion and no fluidity, it was more akin to the brawling of an 80s action film than the kind of martial arts stunts I've seen elsewhere.

The fact that he used more than two different moves already puts him above most Toku.

And unlike most series, the gimmick really improves the fight scenes. The switching of halves and mixing of powers really makes the fight scenes fun to watch in a way I can't describe because I can't honestly believe anyone couldn't understand themselves.

I'm not much of a KR guy so I can't really comment on others but all other Toku I've watched the heroes of the show are specifically designed to fight the monsters, here the heroes just kinda stumbled into their fights.

Yeah, that's BS. I don't even see how you could say W "stumbles" into fights so I can't even argue it because it, well, nonsense.

Quote:

Because the life saving and monster fighting was a very small portion of the show. I would have liked more action, less Scooby Doo.

Again, this is just false. W has just as much action as any given series. It has to, because they're always getting themselves in trouble because of the so-called "Scooby-Doo." Yeah, maybe if Scooby-Doo turned into Bruce Lee every time old man Wilken's showed up dressed as Leatherface.

And again, better than the heroes just sort of hanging around when not fighting.

Eh, I think that's fair. Again, I'm not saying he has to like it, or watch it. (why waste time watching something you don't like?) But his reasons are kind of BS. Calling it Scooby-Doo and saying the hero "stumbles" into battle is, well, nonsense and I'm sure he knows it.
