A 30-ish year old hero instead of someone who is barely legal?

Except most of the actors they get for these shows are actually in fairly good shape. They're just lean, which isn't particularly uncommon for athletic Japanese men and considering how agile some of these Riders are suppose to be, it makes sense. Also, the audience that this show primarily targets prefers younger superheroes.

And Peter Parker IS a superhero, so I don't see where you're getting this whole "looks like a superhero" thing from. Peter Parker just has more speed, agility and flexibility than raw strength (even though he is strong). That doesn't make him less of a superhero.

You also have to keep in mind that all of these Riders have the same suit actors so the body types have to match up at least somewhat.
