Her actress is still doofy and terrible at her job.

Medusa is just dumb and awful in every way.

It's a shame as well because she was quite badass at the beginning but they diluted her role so much that now all she does is stand around looking like she just smelt someone's yeast infection.

So morally I had no real idea what was going on in OOO 32 but it was still a great episode. No surprise there though, it was a character focused episode, and OOO may not be the best written story in the world but it knows how to write great characters.

Eiji was the one thing I liked in the show as I slogged up to Date's appearance and this really confirms why. The more we learn about him, the more interesting he becomes and I love the way they tied him and the new Purple Medals together.

Plus I love his attitude, it may not be as heroic as say Gen's but at least he admits he can't save everyone and focuses on those he knows he can and actually has a solid reason for his attitude.

ALSO his Mighty Morphin transformation was awesome, he even had the Power Axe! Just a shame the CGI was absolute cack, I swear that is the worst this series looked. The fish combo looked pretty terrible but not that bad and TaJaDor had a sky battle as well and that actually looked great so the fuck happened?

It is also pretty funny that these new Yummy are more competent than any of the Greed so far.

Putotyra is, like, the perfect fusion between cool and retarded combined into one for maximum meh-itude. For one, all his attacks sound great on paper, but like you said the CGI is weirdly pap. And then you get to the abilities themselves and realise they're just klind of ridiculous in execution.

Wings that freeze enemies with blasts of ice age? Sounds cool, but the catch is that the wings are basically giant ears. Shoulder spikes that impale enemies? Sounds cool, but instead of growing out they stretch the model like putty with makes it look really cheap. Tail that can smash and thrash baddies? Sounds cool, until to realise it seems to phase out of his butt with a weird gradiant instead of, ya know, just being attached to his back.

Putotyra itself is also a bit goofy looking. The white is a weird contrast to the rest of his suit, only really being on his legs, and his big elf ears and flappity-flap cape pieces just make him look silly. The SIC is way the hell cooler.

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

That's why I said he's both interesting and dull

Libra you seriously have to look at from more than just face value.

Medusa has been disappointment after disappointment for me. If Wiseman told her to kill herself, she'd do it, she's such a boring ass pawn of a character.
Mayu proves her actress does know how to act (I'm assuming Misa and Mayu are played by the same actress pulling double duty, and not real life twins/different people with a really good make up job), but the stoic thing she can't pull off...

And don't worry about PuToTyra's CG. I don't recall them doing CG battles with that form very often.

Yeah, she doesn't do much.

In case no one got it, I was joking about her lips.

Yeah it's weird that the effects on his attacks look so bad because as far as a Kamen Rider show goes, the CGI has been very solid and if their budget was drying up or something you'd think they'd just leave out another form for him. TaJaDor worked very well visually and storywise as the ultimate form for the series, the Mighty Morphin form feels a little bit like overkill in and outside of the production even if it is awesome.

I don't even know why the dinosaur form has ice age powers but oh well fuck it these shows seem to always assume that T-Rex's and mammoths just went round each others houses for tea.

That SIC is AMAZING! Why are they so expensive?

I assumed so, because as a human they are huge and as a Phantom she has none

SPLIT LIP · 06-28-2013, 05:41 PM

Tajador is basically his "final" form. It visually resembles an upgraded Tatoba (having the head change for the combo and keeping the gold "O" on his chest intact which no other combo outside Putotyra does, and even then it's different on that one) and is basically treated as such in the show.

Putotyra really exists more to forward the Greed plot and explanation than be an asset to OOO.

I guess that makes sense, it's just a shame an otherwise awesome form gets the shaft a little bit.

Also so now the Chairman's end game is starting to take motion, anyone got any suggestions what should come next after Fourze? I'd love to watch a series with the same likeability as Fourze and also a series that mixes things up much like Fourze did as well, what I don't want from Fourze is its over sentimentality and lack of focus.

SPLIT LIP · 06-28-2013, 05:44 PM

Tajador gets it's day in court, don't worry.
