Uh... why not?

Obviously, having never seen these series, I can't speak in detail... But maybe Battlizer thinks Kamen Rider shouldn't always be put through the logical ringer. Maybe he thinks the storytelling in Kamen Rider is more impressionistic and subjective than steadfastly logical and literal.

There's more than one way to experience a story. In fact, I believe there are about 7 billion ways.

It's called suspension of disbelief. It's the same way I can accept that a man can fly and have super speed, but not that he can juggle moons.

How about planets?

Logistics still work within absurd concepts. You can visualise someone turning into a superhero. You can visualise them kicking and killing a monster. You cannot, in any way that does not look ridiculously implausible, visualise them destroying a planet by KICKING it.

True, for sure. But I don't know that you can apply the same logistical scale when judging Kamen Rider as you would when judging, say, The Wire. (You kind of even have to adjust the scale between Rider series, TBH.)

I mean, you can. But I don't know that it would result in anything other than frustration.
