Then again, despite some great moments, Act 1 of Gobus was pretty equal hit and miss. So I dunno, maybe Act 2 will be way better. I hope it will be!

No, it's still the same show. It's just that the plot shifts away from the tower defense plot they had been doing.

Gobus 31. What is more lame, Gavan or reusing the old Metaroid suits and just colouring them in different?

I guess at least Gavan being as lame as he was, he didn't end up overshadowing the heroes in their own show, which tends to happen in stuff like this. Plus, yay Suzuka Morita. She is SO GORGEOUS and I have missed her terribly since I got bored of Shinkenger.

Can you really cite that as a Gobuster problem when I've yet to see a Sentai that hasn't done that before at one point or another?

I don't think I've ever seen it done this blatantly before though.

Funny thing is the Gavan cameo eps were more interesting than that movie ever was

Gekiranger didn't reuse suits. Well, I guess you could argue the RinRinShi or the Bettle Warriors, but one is the non-battle mode of the MOTW and the other a more advanced mook.

This 80s sentai series I'm working on.

I can't recall being so bored with a movie in my entire life.

It probably doesn't help that everything about Gavan is terrible. He summons his armour so dramatically but it looks like they had about one yen and five minutes to chuck it together, also making it out of a material that attracts fingerprints and smudges for HILARIOUS effect whenever he stepped out of the shadows. Then what? He leaps in his shitty...whatever that bike thing was meant to be. Which fit with his theme of cheap and unfinished.

Even the completely solid Gobus production values couldn't seem to make him interesting as he fired lifeless finger beams and span around a sword without a single identifiable detail on its design other than 'wow this is boring in every way'.

Maybe THE POINT was for him to look like he stepped right off the set of a 70s toku show - I dunno the context honestly - but Kamen Rider found ways of making the original Riders exciting (seeing them fly through the air, and send enemies flying completely no nonsense was BADASS even alongside all the crazy forms and powers of the Heisei Riders). It just felt like they didn't try with Gavan.

I dunno, maybe with the flagging Gobus show they wanted to show just how shit he could be.

That's because Gekiranger did everything right.
(That, and I thought the 2nd Toad fist user (It may have been Frog fist) was a repainted Maga. I could be entirely wrong, though
