Yes, so much yes.

Then how come every other hand gesture he did where he pressed his fingers to his palm didn't work?

Seems like a really contrived explanation for the hand gesture when none was needed.

Peter actually has to double tap to release the webs, which was how the web shooter gadget he invented in the comic was done because he kept pressing it by accident. Many Spidey purists got mad when the movie made the webs organic, but I think they still followed the double tap rule.

Nope, he just fired them with one press. Sometimes he didn't even look like he did it right.

Like I said, it was basically a silly, unecessary "explanation" for why he pulls off the spidey devilhorns thing (really any depression of the palm should work, including his thumbs-up. Heck, one of the hand moves he tries is actually the same devilhorns pose, just flipped over, but it doesn't work) instead of the far more logical "it's just how he likes to do it, there's no need to force an explanation" like how they did in Amazing.

It was always one of many things that bugged me about the original Spidering-boy movie.

I liked the first episode of Gaim already but this one knocks it out of the park for me. Yeah it was pretty generic in terms of story progression and Pine Arms is pretty fugly when it moves but damn I really like how the charackters are developing.
Kouta is pretty much what I would be if I had magic fruit padlocks that would let me transform into a samurai orange. I really dig how the term henshin is invented by him and not just something he is obligated to say cause every rider before him did it. He pretty much gives me flashbacks of Godai who also was really passionate about being a hero.

I also really like Kaito so far. My biggest fear was that we get another Kaixa with his charackter but so far this does not seem to be the case. Yes he is still kind of a jerk to Kouta and he will fight him more than probably necessary but at least he feals like someone who can justify this kind of behaviour.

The characters are pretty great, I really do like them. With other series it did take time to warm up to them, but here I get them immediately. Also welcome to the forum!

The only character in the show so far who seems pretty boring is the kid who becomes Ryugen. He had one line or so in all of two episodes

And with episode 2 I'm all aboard .

I was FINALLY able to see this. Henshin Fever is really letting the side down.

But I absolutely loved it. Pine Arms was hillarious, especially since the Final Kick makes the enemy into a Pineapple Ring But the best part of this episode was him trying different Henshin poses and that stupid grin
