How come Super Sentai seems to do much better at getting previous actors back for their old roles, even years later, than Kamen Rider does? This has always baffled me.

This is complete speculation on my part but my hunch? Rider shows are less "team-based" which means individual characters/actors get to stand out more, thus more exposure, thus more roles, thus not having the free time to come back.

I know that for Tendou, Ryotaro and Godai's actors, they've all had great careers since leaving the franchise.

But Rider shows are the ones I want people back the most for...

Something I've always wondered, has there ever been any official word or confirmation as to the legal status of Kamen Rider G? I always assumed either Bandai/Toei doesn't fully own the rights to him due to collaborating with SMAP, or his suit was demolished for parts, or both.

Although if his suit was demolished but they own the rights, kinda surprised he didn't make it into All Rider Revolution, since even the First and Next riders made it, and he seems pretty popular, even if he is a parody.

I think it's because it's an unofficial character. It's also why we don't see the Akibarangers showing up for big gatherings on the Sentai side of things.

How do you feel about Kamen Rider Genm getting a MASSIVE NUCLEAR HEAT from fans and audience for KILLING OFF LAZER

According to this twitter account, https://mobile.twitter.com/OfShangri...08615383822336 One two-and-a-half-year-old was so angred by this, he took his toy Gashacon Sparrow and told his dad he was going to hunt Genm down to bring Lazer back.

If you don't know about Nuclear heat/"X-Pac heat". It's basically a wrestling term

While other methods of heat try to draw disdain, "nuclear heat" (also known as "X-Pac heat", due to X-Pac becoming a notorious example of the concept) is when the fans legitimately dislike the character (and sometimes the person playing that character). This kind of heat can often be piled onto wrestlers who are viewed negatively, either for their booking, their character or even actions outside of the show.

I have multiple feelings for this, On one hand, it's great as Genm was my favourite and he's showing he's not a dumbass villain as he dealt with his problem as soon as he found out
On the other hand, Genm's actor said 'wow zombie gamer was cool' with everyone making Gaim references in the replies
In that case, the writers are doing a good job, making the villain a scumbag you hate on purpose is something writers are supposed to be good at (See Umbridge from Harry Potter, the pink bitch)
Only criticism I have is how awful the timing was for the episode Killing Kiriya is fine, it advances the plot and shows us a tragic moment, but doing it on Christmas, a holiday about good things and all, wasn't the best idea. Otherwise you get situations like that kid

Maybe the writer did that on purpose. He think killing a fan-favorite character by a villain Rider would to let the audience know that was true beginning of a darker direction of the show.

How can you let the Audience to know that Ex-Aid will be darker than Ghost?

That's why he doesn't want people to like Genm so much.

First of all, edit spoilers in the post, because it's really inconsistent when you spoiled it in your last post. Second, one must remember that the entire franchise with the exception of Amazonz is meant for kids too, Japanese parents weren't happy with the decision of having that in a Christmas episode. You can let the audience know it's getting darker without a dark Christmas special. Genm Zombie's concept alone makes Ex-Aid darker than Ghost, an immortal enemy who's intelligent and the big bad fighting against people who CAN die makes Genm more dark than most, if not all Ghost's villains. And that last part would forget a major detail. People LOVE villains when they're done right. Have you SEEN the positive reception to Yoshikage Kira?

Something can be for kids, but can have a dark storyline. I felt like Gaim handle things perfectly with a dark story and still having funny humor here and there. I admit that I haven't follow much from Ex-Aid so far, but it looks like the show's tone has changed since the first few episodes.
