A Kamen Rider Parody Season! Like Carranger, but with Bugmen that kick stuff.

Yeah,but after that they started veering away from the whole insect motif.First OOO didnt start with one,but he did get a form completely devoted to it.Then Fourze who didnt even have a insect form but had the eyes and antenna.Now Wizard,who the only thing he has the same about him is the antenna.

I understand why they had to do it(there's only so many insects in the world),I'm just saying I miss the feel of it,and that the riders lately have gotten more complicated.Heck you barely see any of them use Rider Kicks anymore.

Replace "theme" with "gimmick" and you have my wish in a nutshell. Rider (and Sentai) are being over gimmicked to sell toys. I'm not saying the product placement should go away completely, but rather it needs to be better balanced and the gimmick needs to actually complement the show.

Also, the formula needs to be changed up. Instead of insane amounts of power ups and forms and a single additional Rider that's pointless, let's have few form changes and many Riders that exit when no longer needed. Kind of like Ryuki, but less Highlander-y please. That would be a good change of pace and still have plenty of toys for them to sell.




PS I'd also like the darker tones of the early Heisei back (pretty much any show from Kuuga to Kabuto, give or take), but I don't see that happening anytime soon. *sigh* I miss when people were stuffed into trees in Kamen Rider.

Totally agree.I love the darker,more gritty storyline.Some of my favorite series were Faiz,Kabuto,Ryuki,and Kiva.

I would love another Kuuga.

You know, it is Kamen Rider not Mushi Rider. Shotaro Ishinomori's original concept wasn't even bug themed.

Even so,bug concept or no,the rider series has gotten more about product placement then the series.I did like Fourze,and I am liking Wizard,I'm just sayin the more simple riders were better.It gave them the ability to focus more on the story and less on "Here's a 3 episode arc to reveal a form" feel to it.

I'd like to see a Kamen Rider based on emotions. Like the forms are Anger, Joy, Fear, Love etc. Mostly because the first thing I ever knew about Decade was that he had a form called Violent Emotion and it sounded insanely cool(I realize now it's not, but the NAME of it is cool).

That is an awesome idea. But I don't see Toei doing two emotionally themed Toku at the same time. (The DeBoss from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger)
