And do you think that the reason why there're a lot of views on negative reviews is because there're tons of people bickering in the comments? It's not always just people agreeing wholesale with the review.

The purpose of a review isn't to make people agree with you, but rather to generate constructive discussion and debate that can encourage people to look from different perspectives and hopefully find insight in them, regardless of whether it's acclaim or criticism. For the reviewer, it's a way to process their independent thoughts and feelings. If those are complaints, then it's better to vent than to let them ferment in the bottle until it shatters. Especially for us niche Tokusatsu fans, we don't have many people with whom to talk about it IRL.

If yes, then I think you misunderstood something. You said "their lives", but can you call their lives lives if even their deaths can be easily toyed with and manipulated? Like I said in the same post: Repetition/quantity debases something. Repeated death debases death, thus debases life itself. Death is what makes life worth living. Our lives is worth living, precisely because each of us only have one life. When it ends, it ends. No Goddess of Creation, no wish-granting entities, no buts, no ifs, it just ends. End of story, literally.

Yeah, it's their lives, the only lives they've ever known. How would you act if you lived in such a world? Would you just resign to fake existence bereft of meaning? That would be nihilism. The whole point of the Saboten Jyamato finale was Ace learning from Michinaga the value of determination against a losing scenario, which sounds like the opposite of nihilism to me. Death is a destination, but life is a journey. If you're set on meeting your destination by any means necessary, then your journey will suck.

I've elaborated this point in my first post in this thread.

From our limited perspective, sure. But looking in a hypothetical way, if time travel is influencing our world, we wouldn't know about it, since our memories would've been altered. How can any of us truly understand reality when we're only looking from the inside out?
