As a kid, I'd rather have fun seeing the heroes beat up the bad guys and save the day while begging my parents for the new toys, not be confused by some dark and complex plot that I can't really follow until I'm older. Just because the show isn't very serious or complex, it doesn't mean that it is dumbed down, it means that more people can enjoy it, from fans to the kids who are watching it every Sunday. At the end of the day, it's really about what works for the kids, not us.

I'm not expecting adult serious, but the purpose of Kamen Rider was to be the opposite of Sentai. Sentai is meant to be fully kiddy, Kamen Rider is meant to be more adult. That is why Toei paired them up many years ago. Now, you can hardly tell the difference. And don't the ratings prove that kids are not enjoying Kamen Rider? And obviously adults aren't watching it that much either.
