[DreamSword]

Currently halfway through Super-1, and also saw the movie.

First off, the movie was quite the spectacle. It was like this fusion of Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, and Godzilla, and MAN was it a fun ride!

The scene where all the previous Riders jump in to help out of is of course the best part of the whole thing, but special mention to the scene where Super-1 freezes a Zord whole and then drives his bike directly through its head. Awesome.

As for the show itself, I'm still pretty consistently having a blast with is. The last few episodes of the first half I actually felt worked so well as a finale that I honestly wouldn't've minded if the show had ended right then and there. Especially considering episode 22.

I actually rather liked the backstory that they gave General Megaal. He's not exactly sympathetic or anything like that, but the story of one man's ambition ultimately leading him down a path sorrow, and then straight into madness, was rather interesting, and helped me to kinda appreciate this otherwise one-note character a bit more.

Terror Macrow, given the bigger context of everything, also worked pretty solid as the Big Bad, which makes me fear I won't get nearly as much enjoyment out of these new "Jin Dogma" goons that episode 23 introduces almost literally at the last minute. But, I'm remaining optimistic. So far the show's been a good ride, and I hope it keeps it up. Though I think it'll be hard to rival the episode about a phone monster disintegrating people with smoke.
