By the way, saying something is just an opinion is another thing I hate in the fandom. Yes, it's an opinion.... And? You need more substance than just saying "well that's your opinion, other people like/hate XYZ".



This is another problem: perception. Amazons is more like Garo than Kamen Rider? Huh? Amazons is basically a more developed version of Shin Kamen Rider with an Amazon Rider veneer. And Shin was essentially based on Ishinomori's original idea for what Kamen Rider was. How is Amazons not true to Rider? Your statement makes no sense. Besides, there's a lot of difference between Garo and Amazons even stylistically.

Maybe fans are just so used to modern Toei's way of making shows that they consider that the standard?



Well Ryotaro is a "metahuman" (immune to distortions in space-time), the Imajin were the antagonists (the Taros just defected), Yuuto's story is essentially tragic (even though it's glossed over for the sake of Taro antics; incidentally I found Yuuto and Deneb funnier overall than the Taros)... Den-O has the "typical" Rider material, Kobayashi just didn't develop the plot and lore well enough, and the focus was more on the comedy.



My point was that that statement is always used to silence people whenever they criticize the way a show is written too much for certain fans to take. Basically a "just shut up". Being a kids' show doesn't really invalidate most of the criticisms lobbed at Toei anyway. (And let's be frank, it's mostly Toei that's the guilty party here; Tsuburaya has been much better at striking a balance with Ultraman over the past two decades.)

I dunno, your "LIGHTHEARTED DOESN'T FIT KAMEN RIDER" came across real fucking easy. I genuinely do not get why you're making such a big deal. All you're doing ia crying at discussion of the possibility of a more lighthearted season. Maybe instead of throwing a hissyfit about how your opinion is absolutely correct and that Japan needs to take your opinion into account more than, y'know, the target audience, the kids at home watching the people in suits who go "Mummy! Daddy! I want that toy!".
