ToQger Episode 2 "We Are Here!" Discussion

I dunno I find the motivations of the villains the weakest aspect, I get that it's train themed but the characters aren't ignorant to other forms of transportation so it seems really odd the villains would pick a form of transportation that is the most limiting, I think the only thing worse would be if they had Shadow Dodgems.

Although I'm not really even sure how it all works anyway, they need to create more track, by converting emotions, by creation stop stations? How'd they take over towns in the first place? And can't they just magic track out of the air?

The Deboss Legion weren't very good, but their goal of 'revive our leader' was simple enough to work as a general excuse for what they were doing.

I was hoping a Wolverine shinkansen fastball was homaged but still a good ep.

It seems these guys want to almost teraform Earth in darkness, possibly to make it hospitable for their leader. But anyway what's a more versatile form of transportation than a giant flying magic train?

They kidnap children or make adults despair by doing horrible things to them. This concentration of dark emotions in turn allows them to take control of areas and stabilize them as new stations on the Shadow Line. In much the same way that the normal everyday world of human emotions sustains the Rainbow Line.

How about something that flies in the first place? Like an Apache?

Oh man when you put it in perspective, that is so messed up, everything about this show is fucked up.

Enjoyed this episode quite a lot too. I must say, Wagon's a nigh bit creepy. Especially having sculpted and painted lips on her visor-thing.

Oh and the MOTW was pretty dark this week. His modus operandi was almost Hunger Games-like and it was a bit shocking.

Not much really to say that hasn't already been said. Great episode and I'm still loving the hell out of this show.

Can I claim Madame Noire this year like Sentai did for Candelira?

I love her design. She may very well be my favorite Sentai villain design of all time.

You got yourself a deal.

Mio is pretty cool though ( I'm pretty sure that's her name. It's only been 2 episodes so I'm not 100% sure yet ) it's starting to look like it's between her and blue as my favorite team member thus far.

I got dibs on General Schwarz! Easily the most badass/metal/evil villain design I think I've ever seen.
