Yeah, not a fan of this one either; the movie, that is; the episode I literally have nothing to say beyond, probably a bit early for the "I trust you Vice!" moment, but yeah. Rest was forgettable.

The movie, though?

Had a lot of the same problems as you. Century really rubbed me the wrong way, given the "deadbeat dad ran out on us and broke his promises" angle the movie is going for; he really learns jack shit.

He still makes promises he seemingly knows he can't keep and manipulates his son into reconciling before disappearing again. It really rubs me the wrong way how this all resolves and puts into question if he learned anything at all.

That said, I don't have a problem with the former Shocker scientist becoming a Rider.

Wouldn't be the first time since Riderman has pretty much the same backstory, and the only reason he started fighting the evil organization he was from, Destron, was because he wanted to take revenge on the guy who had betrayed him.

So, in general, no problem with the plot in general they just screwed it up.

So, yeah, sadly, by far my least favorite Generations movie.

Oh! Also, Diabolo is an idiot. Just, in general, but specifically given how often he lets people run away when they are like, 20 meters away from him when they are off screen. That movie really suffers from anything that isn't on screen is not existent. Probably some of the worst offender in that regard.
