What are you watching? (Kamen Rider Edition)

Wheezart 9: Hairytoes has a dragon inside him. He should get that looked at.

I like birdman better now that he's fucking doing something. Also he is an atorney at law. Shit, all he and Medusa do is piss fart around. Glad to see someone's doing something with his life. You know, with W the villains were running a business on top of being public figures, so it's wholey undertsandable why they didn't get into that many confrontations. In OOO, it was made clear that the Greeed were at varying power levels due to all their lost medals, so they also got a big free pass for slumming it and not fighting OOO that much directly. There were no main villains in Den-O. But here? I mean, why the hell have these two chumpstyles not gotten directly involved before now? Birdman has the flimsiest of flimsy excuses, but what about Medusa? If birdman schooled him that bad, they could both kill him instantly. If she's so powerful and intelligent, why hasn't she won? Stupid villains, I hate stupid villains.

I'm surprised you're remembering Medusa's actual name.

Medusa does nothing for the entire series, I think she has three extremely brief fights and they all take place in the first quarter of the series. After that she spends the rest of the series just standing around with a face like a smacked arse. Phoenix is even worse.

Honestly in general Wizard has really shit villains, with most of their human halves being far more interesting than their monster halves and very few of the Phantoms have a particularly interesting fighting style or power which is only made even more obvious and disappointing by the sheer flamboyance of the two main riders.

There is nothing funny I can twist "Medusa" into.

I was gonna call her Bargain Bin Betty because of her "outfit" but it doesn't roll of the tounge very well.

Still, she's better than Wise Ass who's this big bad who just sits in the shadows doing somehow even less than birdman and Medusa.

Matrixbeast · 05-23-2013, 09:29 PM

It's because Medusa needs to stand around pouting.
We can't have an episode pass by without that, god forbid.

Locke · 05-23-2013, 10:13 PM

That is kind of the thing with Wizard, it's so loud, colourful and fun, so when you're watching like five episodes a day it's easy to be swept up in the thing and look past a lot of the flaws. But then the more you consume of the show, and the more you have to look back on the more you realise just how flawed a show it is.

I mean don't get me wrong, I love Wizard and I will defend Haruto to the gates of Hell but it's far, far from a perfect series and there are some pretty glaring problems that should never have existed in the first place.

Dr Kain · 05-23-2013, 10:40 PM

Anyone that says Medusa does nothing for the series hasn't watched the last 15 or so episodes.

I agree Wizard is a flawed show, but most series are. I cannot say there is a single Kamen Rider series that does anything flawlessly. It is impossible for any series that is 50 episodes long to be flawless no matter how great the end product is as a whole.

I suppose. You're pretty close to Meteor's introduction though.
