Calm down, I'm not going to press on this topic. But it's a serious unpopular opinion and something that legitimately should've been talked about more and more when it comes to trying to get people that watch foreign-language dramas (including wuxia drama, and fantasy K-dramas) to crossover to tokusatsu.

But again, I find it disturbing on Tokunation forum that I seem to be the only one that watched tokusatsu, wuxia drama, K-dramas (including sci-fi and fantasy K-dramas), and somehow beside me, nobody on this forum was not be able to form a similar thought set and approach like me about why tokusatsu genre is less popular in the US other genre that have similar thing in tokusatsu have gained mainstream popularity with those audiences demographic.

There should've been a massive crossover of K-drama fans that watched wuxia/Xianxia genre crossing over to tokusatsu already. In other word, there should've been already a jump in toku fanbase from people that watched sci-fi and fantasy K-dramas and wuxia and xianxia drama genre.

I mean as I said, it's easy for toku fans to crossover to wuxia and xianxia and probably also fantasy K-drama, and yes the opposite is true, you can have wuxia/xianxia fans crossover to tokusatsu easily because of the similarities between tokusatsu and wuxia genre.

So something's wrong here, we have more tokusatsu catalog in the US recently in the last few years, but I have not seen evidence of fanbases of fantasy K-drama and wuxia/xianxia crossover to tokusatsu. There should've been a massive crossover of that already given that a lot of foreign-language dramas have gained popularity in the US for the last few years and that include K-dramas and I assume a large crossover of people that watch fantasy K-dramas watching wuxia and xianxia drama genre.

That's what I find very disturbing and I'll end this talk here. But please keep that in mind when all of you finished reading my post.
