Because he's a walking stereotype of what people from our region of the south look and act like and I'm embarrassed every time I see him. Please don't relate him to me, that crushes me

I get that what he does is an act, but as someone from the deep rural south I'm frankly offended by him.

I'm agreeing with Den on this one.

Okay then... I honestly have never thought that, I just have always took it as a way to make people laugh. Ive loved all of his stuff since I was young. I'll respect that and wont make that comparison again. So if you dont like him, Im guessing your opinion of Jeff and Bill is the same?

You don't need to take me crazy seriously. I really don't like the guy for those reasons, but don't me ruin it for you or anyone. And I honestly thought Ron White was the only funny one in the group. His solo stand up is hilarious.

I wont let you ruin it for me, like I said, Ive been a fan since I was young I somewhat like Ron White, but the other three have always been my favorites, with Larry at #1!

Finally got around to listening to this, I loved listening to you ripping into Thomas Sentai for fifteen minutes, then saying "we aren't bashing it"

It gave me a lot to think about as well, because I guess I never really thought about the ramifications. Sentai has just been this...unmovable...thing. Where even low ratings can't seem to stop it, where they literally have no gaps between the shows - same with Kamen Rider - and it's just always been there. And although you never out right said it, the possibility that in ten years there may be no Sentai or Kamen Rider is kinda scary, and it's kinda scary to think that the shows may literally run out of ideas before they run out of viewers.

In terms of Gaim, I'll be interested further down the line, how people react to the show. I personally think because of the (largely, unfairly) hatred for Wizard, Gaim is flying on a hype train. I'm not saying Gaim is a bad show, but people treat it like the second coming which I just don't agree on. So I'll be interested to see if this matures into a truly great show as the hype suggests, or if the hype will wear off and people will turn sour later down the line.

Thank you for articulating this. I've been feeling the same way about Gaim for awhile now and it's actually the main thing that's been holding the show back for me. It's a good show and a nice breath of fresh air after the last few increasingly formulaic seasons, but it weirds me out a little to see so many people declaring it the best Rider show ever when it's not even a quarter of the way through.

You're welcome

It's funny as well, how this hype is apparently "accepted" by the community, where in other places it isn't..? Like people are hating on Trainranger already and maybe it's a little early to make up your mind, but no one tried to stop people claiming Gaim was "the greatest Kamen Rider ever made" after seeing one blurry mobile phone capture.

I suspect some of that is down to the previous show's reputation. Wizard was deeply unpopular (which is a pity as, while far from being a great show, there were some very good elements in it), so the chance to have something new and, most importantly, different in every way is considered fantastic. To be fair, some of these are very welcome and needed changes, but there's a definite feeling of "not Wizard = awesome," especially looking back at early responses.

I think that can also extend, in part, to why Tokkyuger already seems unpopular. Yeah, most of the negativity is based on the designs, which are, in fairness... let's be charitable and say "odd." At the same time, though, a lot of what we've seen about the show looks really, really unoriginal. The characters seem to be old archetypes we've had before and the production staff is entirely made up of people who've done past Sentai series (hell, it has the same writer as Go-Busters, and that was just a year ago). It's hard to imagine that there will be anything new or creative this year and when you combine that with unpopular designs, it's hard to get excited by anything, especially coming off of a season that was pretty popular for a lot of viewers (who aren't me).
