(Fish Sandwich also watched Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever)

I remembered I wanted to talk about how much I love the Den-O scene in this movie, and the sense of deja vu I was getting thinking of what I wanted to say led me to also remember I have said this stuff before. Sometimes it's kind of hard to find threads for movies and stuff, since we don't have any consistent format for that on the forum, which means I never know if I should be digging through old thread titles or just through the general "what are you watching" thread, and-- you know, this isn't really that important. I don't want to make it sound like this is work for me, because it's the exact opposite.

Anyways, that scene with Ryoutarou! I still really do love everything about it, but it's that last line from Momotaros that clinches it for me. You might remember that in my rant about Chou Super Hero Taisen, I took an outdated potshot at how Toei never gets Takeru Satoh back, frustrated with how they keep pretending Momotaros by himself is Den-O, and that made that moment in this movie so very cathartic for me. Like, yeah, how could you ever forget Ryoutarou? That dude is the coolest, just like the show he came from, and that's why these rainbow-colored cartoon goofballs haven't stopped showing up in stuff since 2007. It's such a touching little tribute to one of Rider's biggest success stories in the middle of a film that was already doing a pretty dang solid job paying tribute to Kamen Rider, and it was wonderful to see.
