Listen, don't worry too much about it okay. I think I over-reacted a little, I'm sorry about that. The holidays are kind of a tough season for me. Me trying to act like I'm so much smarter is probably dumb too, if that makes sense. We're all a little dumb in our unique way, is my point I suppose haha, so its not strange.

If it makes you feel any better, I've said a lot of dumb and embarrassing and even mean things in a lot of places and I've been banned from places i really liked for it, I think thats why I over-reacted.

We'll both be better next year, I'm sure. Happy Holidays to you.

EDIT: Also just wanna add that i was wrong before in our chat about sentai ending haha, I think i laid out good evidence, but I like to admit when I'm wrong

I had forgotten that detail, and i think its really insightful to bring up. I always found it interesting, people point to it as one of the greats but it also ended up as an experiment at the end of the Showa Era (at least for the series, the subsequent Rider movies might be considered the continuation of that experiment).

I guess my thought is that we had something very similar with Super Sentai, right as its ending we got a few really a-typical series, with odd approaches to continuity, and homage. TV was really rapidly changing then, similar to the way it is now moving towards streaming, and some of the instability is due to Japans economy and world politics as well. I have to wonder if this will have a similar outcome, I think the Heisei era of Rider was fantastic and made all the necessary changes to move forward.

Lets hope that this break will lead to a patch of weird cool other stuff for a moment, and then a powerful revival. And maybe this means Gavan: Infinity will be as cool as KR Black lol? Fingers crossed!
