It really doesn't matter what the content is if the surface-level presentation looks the way it is. Especially when its competitors are much larger empires like Marvel, DC, and Star Wars.

I never seen any toku fans bringing up debates about why fantasy/sci-fi K-dramas and wuxia C-dramas were able to gain more English-speaking audiences in the US then tokusatsu shows like Kamen Rider and Ultraman.

I mean have you ever watch any K-dramas? Have you ever watched any wuxia/kung fu drama from China? Have you ever watched any sci-fi/fantasy shows that isn't in English and not from Japan?

That's why I revive this topic, it's because South Korea has been making fantasy/sci-fi TV dramas that borderline to tokusatsu territory. The same can be said about wuxia C-dramas.

Netflix has been picking those shows/dramas up for worldwide audiences, and yet tokusatsu fandom are falling behind while US and English-speaking audiences are enjoying Korean fantasy/sci-fi shows/dramas and Chinese-language wuxia shows on Netflix (and other streaming platform).

You're telling me this doesn't bother you at all?
