Just like the Amazon Jungler. But it didn't leak into the previous remake, so I wasn't expecting anything like that in this one at first.

This is a weak excuse. It's called Kamen Rider Black. How could people not expect it to be like Kamen Rider Black? What's the purpose of remaking Black specifically if you completely change it?

It's called Kamen Rider Black Sun. Not even Kamen Rider Black 2022 or Kamen Rider Kuro. And no, I didn't expect it to be like a show from the late 80s, because we have examples of Hideaki Anno, who, with all his efforts, still cannot make his Shin films look like the originals.
Again, all of this outrage would make sense if it was a direct sequel that takes into account all the events of the original show. But we are dealing unequivocally with a parallel reality and I don?t see much point in being outraged by it. The original Black is doing well and will appear in big crossovers more than once. True, probably only in a suit.

Also people have historically disliked things like The First/Next and Amazons. You'd think Toei would learn from their previous works, not repeat the same mistakes on a larger scale.

Alas, we live in the age of streaming. Opinions are nothing, the main thing is views. And, judging by this site, this show managed to take the audience away from the current rider, which means they have achieved views. But if a second season is suddenly announced (which is unlikely, given how the story ended), you can not watch it, because now you already know for sure that you won?t like it.
