I guess it fits for an anniversary season to put to focus such a staple of the franchise like the Double Rider concept in a way we haven't seen in a while, even if Revi's still the "Main Rider."

I don't think it's actually accurate to say demons are always inherently evil. Even setting aside all the fiction that portrays demons as sympathetic, even in mythologically it's not that black-and-white. The original Greek word daemon that the modern word is descended from just meant any supernatural occurrence, even the actions of the gods themselves!
And even after the word demon got its evil associations in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, many spirits and deities from other religions got labeled as "demons" regardless of whether they were good, evil or something else entirely, either because it was just the closest translation someone could think of at the time, or as a way of saying "our God is the one REAL God, everyone else's gods are FAKE and EVIL!" Alternatively, I wouldn't be surprised if the demons in Revice are more like "inner demons" or dark sides, the voice of your inner conflict or the part of yourself that might be considered evil but is still an essential part of you. And the idea that power can be found by reaching an agreement with your inner demon, owning it as part of you and drawing strength from it instead of trying to suppress it, would fit very well in Kamen Rider.

I mean given that the villains of this series are specifically an evil cult, it could just be a matter of biased interpretation. Like, maybe the cultist call Vice and others of his kind "Demons" specifically because they're an evil cult and all, but in reality Vice is really just a feral/barbaric spirit that's connected to dinosaurs.
edit* Or yeah, as what FairyKing mentioned, maybe it's like Persona 4 and it's about accepting your more negative self as a part of you and growing stronger because of that. Last edited by Pineapple924; 07-22-2021 at 08:34 PM.. |

I mean the whole concept of demons actually sounds cool to me, considering I am a fan of Devil May Cry. The dynamic of something as 'evil' as demons and their powers being used by a hero/protagonist isn't really far-fetched in my eyes.
And I know we are trying to get past the discussion of Vice's VA, but to add my 2 cents (or 2 pence in my case), unless he has done something illegal (like Aoki or certain Hollywood elites) or something that could directly affect people, I couldn't care less. Not dismissing what he has done, I mean he is a bit of a tosser from the looks of things, but it doesn't really bother me that much, for as weird as that sounds. |

In all honesty, the idea that Vice and co are based on negative inner feelings frankly sounds fantastic and would perfectly coincide with the dinosaur theme (given that dinosaurs are usually portrayed as aggressive in most fiction even if it may not have been accurate in reality plus it would make more sense for that the monsters of the week are made from specific people, like the yummies from OOOs.
I am curious if the stamp theme will genuinely be just stamping Vice into different forms/items or also have some tourist influence as well (given their resembleto the tourist I do think it’s a little ignorant to discount literal thousands of years of history in such as limited fashion when science and research say otherwise. Hopefully it will reflect more humanities inner negative emotions though. Rider has usually focused on humanity and what good and evil humans are capable of, so it would be cool to see it go that route for the 50th anniversary. Then again, racism is viewed as heroic in modern tokusatsu with Zenkaiger, so who knows what else can be labeled as heroic. |

Wait what did Zenkaiger do? I'm not up to date with the show... I seem to recall Gaon's take on kikanoids being pretty bad... and I know in episode 1 human characters become scared of all kikanoids when the tojitendo invade (tho this was shown to be bad iirc)
Was it one of those or did I miss / not get to something else? It was during Stacaesar's debut, I think. Gaon acts rudely towards the other Zenkaigers, Juran calls him out on it and Gaon goes "Well, it's cuz you guys are Kikainoids too!", and then he runs away, having Kaito run after him. Kaito gets Gaon to explain himself, and I don't remember what he said, it was something "Well, humans are like this and that" which is why he's more partial to the humans than the Kikainoids. Though he never really explains his disdain for kikainoids. After that episode, though, he's toned it down.
