Sure, now Poppy's bugster background is being given more plot relevance, but that's because Poppy is more relevant in the story now.

Also, Kamen Rider is a kid's show, but even ignoring that, how is any of this relevant to the show becoming too "kid-friendly"?

Nobody's saying they don't care. You just seem to have this idea that Emu can't mope over Poppy's betrayal unless they've already had a Godai/Ichijou level bromance, nevermind that Emu reacted similarly to when Kiriya, a guy he's barely known for a day or two, also lied to/deceived him.

I'm trying to say it goes way too light hearted and it kind of overshadow the seriousness of the show. I don't need the show to be like KR Amazons, but it's definitely a level below Gaim. I don't know why some people still think Ex aid is similar to it. It's still better than Ghost though.

I wonder if the show would be better if Brave or Snipe is the main protagonist instead of ExAid. However, nowadays the main rider and red senshi needs to be the unrealistic and positive all out nice guy.
Guess Emu needs to be Mary Sue. He's heroic and shiny at the same time.
