I'd... contest a few things about that TV Tropes post.

Like, for one thing, where's the "plenty of viewers had gotten sick of her and wanted her replaced" thing come from? Because unless it's based on an actual amount of Japanese viewers protesting that, it's hard to not read it as the writer projecting their own opinions beyond themselves.

The second point about Gentarou... is not flanderisation? He-- he just befriends beings outside the school. Extraordinary beings that stretch disbelief beyond just 'classmates', sure, but he's not exactly flanderised or portrayed weirdly here. If anything some of his best scenes involve befriending Nadeshiko and the Space Station, and it's a testament to his character! Kamen Rider, ESPECIALLY Fourze; delves into the fantastic and the incredible on a daily basis, and dialing things up to 11 is just something the movies always do. If Gentarou befriending a space station is done well, then hell yeah, he's befriending a space station!

As for the third... it's not entirely wrong, but that's the Super Hero Taisen movies. Like. Just about no-one was portrayed great there. Y'all wanna talk about what the heck the Showa Riders are thinking in KRT? At least Gentarou in that movie was barely a cameo!
And beyond them, it's inaccurate. Wizard x Fourze, while I didn't particularly enjoy; actually has some of its strengths lie in the Fourze section for showing how every character including Gentarou has developed and grown up. Once again some of Gentarou's best scenes are in that movie and there's a fair amount of nuance to him as a teacher. As for his other major crossover appearance? Heisei Generations Final does similarly incredible work!

I just don't understand where a lot of this is coming from, I guess. When Gentarou has a major role he's written to act like he always has and doesn't lose any of his nuance. I can understand arguments for Yuki, but certainly not Gentarou himself.
