That's not what I said, I said it's shallow to only like how the belts were being drowned out and not the rest of what made the scene great such as the camera shots, the symbolic nature of Sento fighting Stalk where Soichi found him post amnesia, the rain shots, the moments in which they just stare at eachother before fighting, it brings out emotion and although Stalk's shown he's an irredeemable bastard, you can read Sento's thoughts of "I wish this wasn't happening, why did it come to this?" and Stalk seemingly feeling slight remorse about the situation, as he DID feel guilty about tricking the cast a few times despite it being part of his plan. The scene has depth, Showa VS Heisei's stupid reason for the Riders fighting is another example of showing off a bit of depth, as OOO looks away due to guilt as the Showa Rider's were calling him out on trying to not have to move forward. OOO didn't even have a major role in the movie, so that level of depth can be appreciated even if there wasn't anything good in the movie other than that

You really want to see people killed with real weapons, huh? You'll love Kuuga...

But yeah I didn't care about anything else in that Rain scene, I have zero emotional investment in this series due to the clunky, hamfisted pacing and storytelling. You seem really invested though and I'm happy for you.
