But even so, I'm sorry but including some stuff just for the sake of getting a broader audience is a big no no.
That's what has been done for some mangas,animes and video games, and now these things are utter trash.

RE is just but a shadow of what it previously was because it tried to cater to a strictly american audience (hey, sorry...)

Sonic Team has beaten to death the Sonic Franchise by incorporating useless stuff like the Original Character Do Not Steal in Forces. (DeviantArt fandom)

Star Wars went full on misandry, shat on its original fanbase, and is now utter crap if it wasn't for the spin off on Disney +.

Dragon Ball/Super....Tried to cater to mainly the american audience in terms of fanservice, is void of any substance there could be...

The original Nier sold greatly in Japan but Square Enix America told the Japanese branch that Replicant wouldn't work in the west because the hero was a brother wanting to save his sister.
The original American Nier sold poorly and we are now, 11 years later with the Replicant version, THE OG, and it's outsolding the American Nier.
And you know what SQEXUSA said to Japan? " Oh well sorry, the american audience prefers the brother instead of the father in the end, we fucked up you should have gone with your original vision"


Why are people trying to fix what's not broken?
If your formula worked for some westerners and your main fandom AKA Japan, then WHY the hell do you want to take cues from the USA?!

Also...Really? Taking cues from the US...FOR THE REST of the world? European culture is vastly different from the american one.
The african culture is also vastly different from the american one.
Why do we have to have japanese stuff with silly decisions made by the US?
We just want the original experience, what japanese people would experience if there was no input from foreigners. (still need the sub though >.>)

And I don't think that most western tokusatsu fans want to see more americanized japanese stuff.

It's like, it would never come to my mind to give my opinion about some american stuff and say "change that, it's crap". I don't like it, I don't watch it, it doesn't need to cater to me.

Look, Kamen Rider Saber is its own thing, I watched 3 to 5 episodes, it didn't click to me, you never see me talk about it nor give my opinion on it.
I'm just like "Ho well, it isn't for me, move on"

When it comes to making things readily available, I'm ok with the US or any westerner taking part in the plan, but straight up telling Toei or the japanese to change their way they view things is just....errrr... just clean in front of your door before telling to others to clean theirs.

I really don't understand that mindset. (And as most can tell...yeah I'm pissed off >.> so sorry if I hurted anyone.)

Damn right, you tell it as it is dude. I completely agree with you. Targeting a broader audience and changing the product to fit it that makes it lose its identity and the product suffers greatly from it, and then fans start to leave it.
