Like seriously, there's an actual hand puppet as a character.

Your argument was half that you dislike the side characters/Sennin and half that you dislike Yurusen and the dancing parkas. I acknowledged that you could make the argument for the ghosts to say that it's more childish, but nothing about the characters has any real bearing on that. You dislike them, for a host of perfectly good reasons, but disliking the characters doesn't naturally lead to "this series is aimed at a younger audience."

And yes, I know one of the characters is an actual hand puppet.

That's a weak-ass cover for a weak-ass jab at Gaim simply because you know I like it better. The fruit armour didn't talk or anything, nor was it actual fruit, but armour that looks like fruit. That's in no way comparable to dancing hoodie ghosts or talking toy cars. The armour was armour, used as armour and treated like armour. All Kamen Riders wear armour of some kind, they do not all have puppet companions or talking toys.

I mentioned both the Drive and Gaim things because they are the most recent, and only recent, Kamen Riders I've seen, it wasn't some attempt at a 'gotcha' because you like it or whatever (and it'd definitely be a pretty weak-ass one if it was since Gaim is my favorite too.) And it isn't a 'jab,' because I don't dislike any of those things.

It was just me expressing the opinion that a dancing ghost hoodie isn't necessarily any sillier than a giant metal banana falling on a dude's head during transformation. Because a giant metal banana falling on a dude's head during a transformation is silly, and actually kind of stupid. All Kamen Riders have armor, but not all have it delivered by head-fruits, just as not all of them have ghosts dancing around them while they're in the process of transforming. Different strokes or something like that.

Now, this is a weak-ass cover, but when I mentioned the shift cars I meant to compare those to Yurusen, and when I mentioned the armor I meant to compare those to the parkas. Not necessarily both to both, because they're pretty different things.

Either way, my point was merely that, as Diamondmatter said, nothing about Ghost's tone is new, so I don't get how one can say that it's aimed at a lower audience or toddlers or something.

It's a perfectly simple and unnecessary point to make, really, but I had to go and made a big deal out of it and waste all of our time, so, you know, bleh. :I
