It probably doesn't help that everything about Gavan is terrible. He summons his armour so dramatically but it looks like they had about one yen and five minutes to chuck it together, also making it out of a material that attracts fingerprints and smudges for HILARIOUS effect whenever he stepped out of the shadows. Then what? He leaps in his shitty...whatever that bike thing was meant to be. Which fit with his theme of cheap and unfinished.

Even the completely solid Gobus production values couldn't seem to make him interesting as he fired lifeless finger beams and span around a sword without a single identifiable detail on its design other than 'wow this is boring in every way'.

Maybe THE POINT was for him to look like he stepped right off the set of a 70s toku show - I dunno the context honestly - but Kamen Rider found ways of making the original Riders exciting (seeing them fly through the air, and send enemies flying completely no nonsense was BADASS even alongside all the crazy forms and powers of the Heisei Riders). It just felt like they didn't try with Gavan.

I dunno, maybe with the flagging Gobus show they wanted to show just how shit he could be.
