2020's toku shows predictions ?

This is probably just wishful thinking, but could we have an actual time travel sentai?! I realise that it's kind of the point that it's in the present day but they haven't really attempted to do it other than Timeranger and some bits in Gokaiger and I would actually like to see it, maybe something like that show Flint the Time Detective!

That cartoon wasn't that popular back in day and Toei usually use popular shows/movies as their inspiration.

I hope we will get some type of official streaming for Kamen Rider. It seems like Bluefin is really trying to push Kamen Rider back in the NA market again. When I was doing volunteer work for them in 2017, I told them "How come you guys don't promote your Kamen Rider figuarts anymore" and they were like "Umm...." with no clear no answer.

A new brand and original american toku.

A female main Rider sounds too good to be true, but I hope for at least more female side Riders, maybe even the second rider.

Do you mean American shows that are a homage to Henshin heroes than that would be cool. Otherwise, pretty much any American show with special effects are American Toku.

I don't consider myself a feminist but it is getting ridiculous now how often female riders either die or turn out to be evil. I think magical girl shows can also be sexist but they should have a female second rider, maybe even from episode 1.

Unless, they're superheroes.

I do consider myself a feminist and could get into a whole spiel about how that term has been twisted and distorted, but this isn't the right forum for that

Anyway yeah, a female second rider who was there from the start (and stayed alive and heroic the whole time) would be awesome!

Technically, toku just means live-action with heavy use of special effects. A lot of western superhero shows and movies fit that criteria, they just have a different style than Japanese superheroes.
