I think this is probably an unpopular opinion.

The Hiden Zero One Driver gives the worst suits, with maybe like two exceptions.

It's because the characters are so locked into certain roles that they make decisions that don't actually make any sense, just because it's what their role requires. Kouta was always the tragic, self-sacrificing hero even when there was no need for that, so instead of a noble martyr he came off as an idiot with a death wish. Kaito was always the power-hungry rival, so instead of keeping his philosophy and motivation consistent, he just spouted some nonsense about strength and picked fights he had nothing to gain from. Micchy was always the traitor, so he betrayed people whenever the plot required him to, not when it actually made sense for him to do so (but at least for him, the story acknowledged that his betrayals ultimately were his undoing).

It was still an enjoyable enough story, I just feel like sometimes it was trying too hard.

I see where you’re coming from, but this also led to one of my favorite parts of Gaim: Mai being left in the dark and thinking the show was still about street dancing well into the third quarter of the series. I loved that shit. The world was being invaded, there were plans in place to kill the majority of Earth’s population, and she was all “Guys, we need to put on a dance show!”

Yeah, that was one of the parts of Gaim that I actually loved! Especially since IIRC it came right in the middle of a really grim part of the story and provided a much-needed spot of hope and reminder that there were things worth fighting for.

Another my unpopular opinion:

I personally really dislike the World Merging in Kamen Rider Build. I think the Reunification of Japan for Build Final Episode after Skywall is destroyed and Sento become a new Prime Minister is better for Build Final Episode than World Merging.

Sometime, I think the World Merging in Build is the last minute idea.

I also really dislike the Sento's friends memories are restored in Cross-Z Movie because that's actually revive his deceased friends. I know this is happened because character popularity but I think too many revived characters in recent years in Kamen Rider series and that's become overused and repeated.

I really enjoyed Kamen Rider Build but I really dislike some of aspects in the Final Arc in this series.

Kiwami Arms is the laziest suit in a series full of amazing ones. Each and every suit is at least creative, including the somewhat uniform Energy Riders, but Kiwami is just a silver shogun armor with a sticker on it.

I actually like Build Genius more, because it at least tried to tie up the series gimmick, even if it came out really ugly.

I think Kiwami Arms looks better without fruit designs

But I still love Kiwami Arms design....

why I stopped watching more modern Sentai shows That and a few other things it only feels like 9 at most episodes matter in most shows

Part of me kinda wants to rewatch Ex-Aid to see how it holds up because it feels like I'd put it in the good show but has a few problems that hold it back from being Gaim tier

Speaking of final forms, I disagree with both sides of the TaJaDor/PuToTyra debate. I think TaJaDor isn't OOO's final form, but it or some other form that represented Eiji and Ankh uniting should have been the final form instead of PuToTyra.

I much preferred Ex-Aid to Gaim and Build, to be honest. The plot got a little convoluted, but nowhere near as eye rolling or head scratching, and things just felt more cohesive.
