I'm gonna be honest, I'm rather apprehensive about what hitting the back half of a Rider show seems to mean at this point. Like, we've got
another
big scary evil Kamen Rider in the vein of Gold Drive, and now we're probably hitting that point where we'll never see the heroes actually fighting monsters and saving people again as they instead fight the same evil Kamen Riders and other boss characters over and over again, with old forms completely falling to the wayside along with the variety that used to accompany them, and... okay, you know, let me stop myself right here. It's not really fair to Revice for me to be unloading all my frustrations with recent Kamen Rider shows on it before I've even seen where it's actually going for itself first.
I do wanna complain about one other thing with Vail first though -- the stock music playing throughout his debut. I've seen so many movie trailers in my life than I can recognize the swells where shot transitions are supposed to be happening, and when he does his finishing move, it's clearly the usual "build up to title card followed by release date" spot, and like,
it was messing with my brain a little!
Definitely not something that will be an issue for the majority of the audience, and it's not exactly unfitting music, but I couldn't help but be distracted.
And speaking of getting distracted, I sure am whining about this episode a lot, huh? It probably sounds like I have major beef with it at this point, but really, it's very specifically those two things that worry/bother me, respectively. This is a very well-placed turning point for the series, and it's definitely compelling seeing where all the mysteries are going. It does a lot right in how it adds new questions in the process of resolving the old ones, and I mean, having the main heroes literally be the children of the main bad guy is quite possibly the most direct take I've seen on the classic Kamen Rider trope of the heroes coming from the same source as the villains. (Although this *is* also why I think of Ultraman Geed as one of the best Kamen Rider shows in recent memory.) Plenty of good lore in here, a fun enough fight scene with the three siblings, and Olteca is still horrible. Not much more I could ask for from an episode of Revice, I suppose.
(It does seem a little brazen to immediately announce a TTFC spinoff for Vail though.)
