Which doesn?t hold up entirely, given the existence of Giant Robo and Kamen Rider Stronger having had a giant monster as the final boss.

Either way, it really did end up working out for them in the end. Though I will say that if the suit really was stolen, then they atleast put in the effort to recreate Leopardon's' weaponry.

Not sure if you did it on purpose, but thank you for referencing my favorite Spider-Man movie.

But yeah, this is definitely one of those shows I really need to get around to at some point. It's always felt to me like a series that has a really underappreciated, very genuinely important legacy, and it's cool that lately, it seems like more people are becoming aware of that.

Yeah. The documentary that Disney+ did for the show felt really genuine, and I hope it helped to spread the word on just how great this show actually is.

(Also! One of the many half-formed ideas I had for a thread after Kuuga? Watching this show, but writing all the posts about it in the style of Stan Lee narration. But it only took a little bit of further thinking to realize how much work that would actually be to do authentically. For one thing, I'd have to take like a whole history course about 50's/60's pop culture figures and celebrities just to make sure I don't run out of outdated references when I'm making quips. I could only get away with talking about how Takuya ate his Wheaties this morning so many times before I need to change the tune, you know?)

Not gonna lie, that sounds like an amazing idea. Die's the local comics guy, maybe he could help? Haha. Regardless, I do hope that you check it out one day. Very much worth the time, I feel.
