People have a habit of pointing out aspects as if they standalone, not remembering that all these terms like 'pacing' go together to make the show what it is, and they all affect eachother. If anything you are just reinforcing my arguement taht teh show has no redeemign factros if it's pacing is affecting an otherwise acceptable character.
Except it isn't, and you can't even come close to saying that. I just went on an abridged tirade about Shotaro's character and what we find out about him in the first sixteen episodes. Ditto Shinji. Haruto has no excuse.
Except you see, I feel like that would be the easy and typical way out. Hell, you yourself complained about Eiji's initial strain from combos.
Oh wow, you actually used "it's not the show, it's you." Almost word-for-word.
Haruto does not have a wry sense of humour, he has
no
sense of humour unless it's to the really silly stuff. And even then it's forced and unnatural. To put it bluntly, you're making up excuses and character aspects that
don't exist
.
Yeah, I'm sure that's it.
Well, that doesn't help your point, since you've only seen like, what, four? five?
It also doesn't help that you never mention which series you've seen. And the way you talk you basically imply you've seen, like, the entire Heisei era when you list off, like, four riders and then say "much, much more."
And the thing is, you mention you've seen more "goofs" then Haruto and Eiji, which basically means you're callign Gentaro, Shotaro, Ryoutaro and Godai "goofs." Can't speak for Godai and I'll give you Gen, but no way in any sensible hell are Shotaro and Ryoutaro "goofs." Again, do yourself a MASSIVE favoure and at least check out the W portion of the W and Decade movie so you can finally at least get a hint of what's to immediately come in W. You could not have picked a worse time to bail on that show. Ryoutaro is far from a goof. Even when he's meek and timid he's not a goof. He's got terrible luck and is the butt end of slapstick, but he himself is not goofy, just terribly unfortunate,
I will be the first to admit Wizard is poorly paced but I've yet to watch a Toku series that isn't. Most Kamen Rider series I've seen would have worked just as well with half the episodes, normally the middle section being a painful and slow crawl until the show realises it needs to wrap things up.
OOO is really the only one that booked the trend so far by having awful and bland episodes for the first third of the series, then really getting its act together in the middle.
ONCE AGAIN all of the Rider I HAVE SEEN. Why do I need to keep reminding that bit? Isn't that a given? Using examples from shows I haven't watched doesn't prove anything, maybe if I watched that then I wouldn't like him as much but as I haven't...I do like him as much as I do.
Did I complain about Eiji's initial strain? I don't really remember, I eat those words then because I appreciate that Gen and Fourze feel like the same person and that Eiji and Os feel like the same person but they are really the only Rider's I have come across yet that do.
Saying Haruto's humour flat out doesn't exist because it went over your head is just as flippant as well.
I've caught up to one show, completed two others, almost finished a further two. But I've also tried out like ten others on top of that.
I meant much much more in terms of Haruto being whatever I was talking about in that context not much more Riders.
Godai wasn't just a goof, he was a frustrating moron. My least favourite Rider so far.
I said I'll get back to W eventually but I have stuff I actually want to watch first.
