I cannot express how much I love that Miyauchi still has that outfit.

But,

what make western afraid to adapt more kamen rider? Masked rider maybe is a failure, but, dragon knight do quite good, isn't it?

Dragon Knight did poorly on TV with the bad timeslots and poor marketing as other people said already. It's also divisive with fans, you either like it or hate it depending on who you ask.

Same. Very 70s/iconic outfit that screams Shiro Kazami for me. I believe that was his de facto civilian attire in Spirits as well. Off topic though, man cannot get enough of Fujioka's perm.

Actually the RX series was just recycling the old concept of having a group of Kaijin follow certain traits depending on who their leader or "chief" is. In the first Kamen Rider series,once Black Shogun took control, the Kaijin were no more made of one type of Kaijin but a mix of two animals. In Kamen Rider v3,Doctor G's Kaijins were a mix of a mechanical object and an animal. Baron Fang had prehistoric(or was it mythical?)Kaijin,Marshall Armor had animals with hard shells while Archbishop Wing's Kaijin were animals with wings.

In the case of Kamen Rider Black RX, each of the four leaders(generals?) had their own different monster that they were in charge of,Maribaron with the supernatural monsters,Gedorian with his alien beast lifeforms etc . Only difference now(in RX) is instead of letting one general die and then the next one take over like in Kamen Rider and Kamen Rider V3,all the generals were alive all at once and took turns to send in a different monster.

Yeah, it’s very reminiscent of Metalder, both in concept and in the fact that they had Keita Amemiya doing the monster designs.

You know what would be a great James Gunn Kamen Rider adaptation? Kamen Rider OOO. And get Michael Rooker as Kougami.
Seriously though I would love to see James Gunn's interpretation of Tatoba combo.

“Adaptions” are just… very much a relic of an older age, especially in a post-internet world. I don’t think we should see them again

Yeah, it's just that after hearing that Gunn likes Kamen Rider I thought OOO would fit well with him. It has monsters, has humor, the works.

Vulcan and Horobi doing a spicy noodle challenge together.

This was from way back when Zero-One was about 8 episodes in it seems. If you wanna cut to the chase, start at about 6:50.
