Bad time to mention I adore Fourze, and without it I wouldn't like Kamen Rider as much as I do > . >?

Though, there is a funny trend I've been noticing.

Show gets any praise?
"This show is shit. Overrated trash."
Show gets decried as poor?
"I don't see what's going on. This show is the greatest!"

It is true, it is clear I have very different tastes to the wider community on this site but it's been like this most of my life, I've rarely had tastes similar to the masses and I get slapped with words like 'pretentious' or they say I'm doing it for attention...which I'm not, I just obviously have very unique tastes.

Still though, I still refuse to accept that twenty minutes of a young boy on a bicycle is 'one of Wizard's best episodes' when in the same series one of the villains got kicked into the sun.

Eh. Happened to me with Decade.

But I will forever stand by that episode as one of Wizard's best.

I didn't even know you liked Kamen Rider at all

Fourze 34: It feels like FOREVER since we've had a proper plot focused episode and this one was a really good one, even if it answered more questions I wasn't asking than the ones I actually was.

I mean I guess technically the Aries two parter was a story focused episode as well but it was all over in a flash and very little of what happened in it seems to have had any kind of impact.

And Leo is pretty badass but I kinda wish Aries stayed around a lot longer because he actually had a devastating and interesting power which set him apart. Most of the other Horoscopes are just generic powerful villains.

And I didn't think I'd say it...but I miss those horrible CGI monstrosities. They looked like shit but they at least suggested something happened when they went Supernova. All Aries got was bigger horns which did nothing and although Libra's is really useful it has absolutely no visual effect at all apart from an eye animation when it is used.

Also that ugly girl that wants Gen's dick can fuck off, I hate characters who exist simply to get in the way rather than anything else, they are easily worst of the toku archetype side characters. At least they made suspenders useful in the end.

I mean I think we're supposed to assume that she cares about him but as Gen took up the duty to battle the Horoscopes, it would only be selfish of him to relax on holiday while they ran amuck, why can characters in these shows never see that? Grr.

Be careful what you wish for?

Anyway, I actually like Libra's supernova. He was never a gigantic bruiser type character. While I wish his power could be expanded beyond seeing one's inner constellation, the idea that Libra's supernova is actually a non-offensive ability was interesting.

I suppose but it just kinda supported Libra's...nothingness. When used sparingly, he is badass. But he has never used his powers in any truly interesting ways, he doesn't seem all that strong as a fighter and honestly doesn't really seem to have smarts to make up for where he lacks in combat.

He's more of a pathetic worm, scheming and taking advantage to scape by which would be fine but it really doesn't fit with his attitude and personality.

You actually kind of nailed Libra. He's only around because of his Supernova, he's a man who thinks himself to be powerful (Both in position (High school principal, 1 of the Horoscopes) and strength), but really isn't, and he's a background player grasping at the main character straw.
The show makes Libra a combination of both interesting and dull, in my opinion.

I guess that actually makes sense of Libra's antagonism, if we do a deep theoretical read of his character, we can assume he is constantly battling for self worth and fears his own lack of importance, which only further perpetuates it. And so he became a principle and one of the Horoscopes to almost prove to himself he isn't worthless and that is also why he is so keen to get into fights. This is about no one but himself, I guess that would also be a big reason as to why he hated Cancer so much, because Cancer rejected his authority and would have surpassed him if he continued as he was.

That would also suggest why his Supernova awoke just before he was about to be 'killed' because it would mean he would be deemed worthless and would scrape fingers bleeding to avoid that.

Wow my own deep reading of the character makes me love him
