S***... you mean I could've just said that 30 posts ago? Now I just feel silly.

I don't know, I'm pretty cynical about the odds of this ever not being a niche interest myself but sometimes people surprise you. Infinite Potential™ and such (I'll make that a thing yet!).

I dunno. The show would be hard to continue given that Kanzaki reset the world to a state where the riders do not need to exist.

Point A: 100%!

Point B: true toku will always be niche. Now, that's not to say that some American show trying their hand at an "adult" take on a Power Rangers type show couldn't happen. We need to keep our eyes on how this movie doe$...

Yeah and that ending was so right. It could be another alternate scenario film but it would be pretty tough as the Battle was very much a timed situation; it would be highly unlikely to still be going on fifteen years later.

Maybe it would be that the Rider War never happened, and the Mirror World is now seeping into our world, and the people who were Riders in the war in the show/movies got the decks somehow to stop it.

Yeah... it's hard coming up with a scenario after Ryuki for them to be Riders.

I think some kind of actionless, character-drama epilogue could be written in the context of the TV show ending but being as focused on thematics as I am I really do struggle to think what the point of it would be.

The characters are walking around fifteen years later and... they talk? About what? To what end? If you just have the conflict start up again it sort of invalidates the whole point of the ending in the first place, so that's a no go. Even if you do some kind of AU thing it's the same problem. The characters are fighting and... they die? They live? Why? How? What makes it any different from the show you already watched?

I wouldn't mind seeing new Ryuki stuff but thinking about it, it might be the single hardest Kamen Rider show to do any sort of epilogue for.

Frankly I say wait another year and put that hypothetical budget towards the Faiz 15th anniversary special where Takumi and Mihara actually defeat the Orphenoch King and then Takumi can die or whatever.

I'm a lot cooler with Faiz's ending than most but it's hard to argue some more closure wouldn't be nice. If it's well written I'd love to see it.

(Cue joke about Faiz not being well written)

A proper Faiz ending would be nice although I'm sure they'll Handwave away that Takumi should have disintegrated away given the stuff implied at the end and the fact that Orphenochs seem to disintegrate after a certain period of time.

Honestly that's not the important part. They can do that either way and have it work but leaving the main villain of the show around yet not even doing so much as a "the adventure continues" kind of ending was the whole problem with Faiz's finale in the first place.

Or at least it was my problem with it? I always see people say the ending sucked but I never see them elaborate on that so for all I know they could just think it sucked by virtue of being Faiz.

The plot of Faiz is definitely an issue in general. The ending being probably the biggest one of them all. Honestly it is a series that almost demands a V-Cinema or a continuation of some sort, as while the final scene of Takumi stating his dream was nice, Lobster Orphnoch is still out there with the King. She could always easily start making new Orphnochs and continue trying to take over the world. I'd gladly pay out of pocket to see a continuation happen.

Spoilers?

But anyway, that's a feeling I don't really remember having with Faiz. Its endgame has some pretty weakly executed stuff but in general I think its story is fine. Of course I'm me...

It probably sucked.

Which Kamen Rider show that killed the dark tone of Heisei Kamen Rider?

If you watched Kuuga, Agito and Ryuki. Those 3 show were darker than recent Kamen Rider show but how come we don't get those dark tone anymore?

Because FAIZ KILLED IT! Faiz is the most boring show ever because I couldn't watch it! I even don't know if Blade was dark Kamen Rider show but I know Faiz was the reason of why Toei decides to make Recent Kamen Rider show a more kid show like Super Sentai!

Hibiki was a confusing mess because apparently I think Hibiki was original to be a dark Kamen Rider but NO! Toei decides to mess around because they wanted more toy! and they didn't want to waste their money on location! Even Hibiki's actor was complained about Toei changing the PLANNED SERIES FINALE of Hibiki! Apparently Toei didn't learn a lesson from Batman & Forever aka Toy Commercial film!

Sure, Gaim was a dark show but the ending was more happy one than most of Gen Urobuchi's project! It got over-the-top moment with Bravo!

I feel Onari was added to Ghost because Toei wants over-the-top comic relief because they need a freaking clown to make little childrens laugh! I don't even know if they add a Comic Relief to Ex-Aid! I think a pink-hair girl could be that comic relief! I hope they don't make her OVER-THE-TOP!

Toei always care about MONEY! They don't care about story-telling but lot of money!
