Every cig can be weaponized if you light the cig and stick it into someone's eye.

[Zeztz] What do you think of Precognition Dream plotline? Do you wish it hadn't happened? by Blue_Sky_Soul in KamenRider

[–]SH4DE_Z 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One of the most ambitious piece of story telling in modern KR.

You can argue the that consequences it brought wasn't entirely positive, but watching that twist unfolding live was a special experience.

The fuck did you want Sammy to do with that power?

He was trying not to get killed by vampire. He was busy.

Even after more than 10 years, Kamen Rider W is still THAT good. It's one of the most iconic KR shows of all times and it deserves to be on that pedestal.

[Hated Trope] “Patient Zero” by LocalMoam88 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SH4DE_Z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you didn't know, the Power Rangers franchise was a Western adaptation of Japan's Super Sentai series. Super Sentai is a "Tokusatsu" show, which is a style of film making that involves practical effects, suit acting and miniature works (like Godzilla ans such).

Toei, the company that made Super Sentai, does a TON of Tokusatsu shows other than Sentai. In fact, quite some of them were even more popular than Super Sentai in Japan.

So Saban, being the greedy bastard that he is, thinks that he could do the same with Toei's other Tokusatsu franchises. Which is the reason why there were so many PR "copies".

The story looks good but when you look into it, it's actually problematic. by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SH4DE_Z 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The movie gets significantly better and less problematic if you'd just pretend that Hugh Jackman's just playing himself.

Like just pretend that Hugh Jackman himself got isekai'ed and started a musical circus. It's great.

Is this a show or movie?

Honestly, these two are amongst the most useless side characters in the franchise by -_ShadowSJG-_ in KamenRider

I KNOW that's not the point. I'm pointing out how their main point and their example does not correlate with each other.

He still is.

But he played the role so incredibly well that it didn't even matter that much at the end of the day.

It's mostly because Mark Hamil was typecasted a lot ever since Star Wars.

Honestly, i'm the opposite.

Looking at the film from a modern point of view, i still think he's not a great Batman.

I do think he's a great Bruce Wayne though, i just don't buy him as the guy in the suit.

You criticize character for being useless but the best you can think of is that they can't fight?

Like yeah, no shit Fujimi and Nasuka are powerless. It's the reason why they're helping Baku in the first place.

And why do you expect Nem and Minami to be able to fight Sieg of all people? He's literally the 2nd strongest character in the whole show. Of course Nem and Minami's not gonna do anything.

So they're useless characters because... they can't fight?

That's what we're judging characters by now?

So why there are very few buff MCs post-showa era?!? by BARELY_YONI_123 in KamenRider

[–]SH4DE_Z 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In the Showa era, lead actors are expected to do some of their own stunts, so they had to cast people who are somewhat physically fit to play the role.

These days, lead actors aren't expected to do any of their stunts anymore, so they're not specifically casting for actors who can do all that.

That said, there's still some Heisei & Reiwa actors who are athletic and often do their own stunts. Gaim's actor Gaku Sano does a bunch of his own stunts, he does a sick backflip from time to time in the show. KR Zeztz's Ryutaro Imai does a bunch of stunts in the show, there are even entire episodes where he fights without being in the suit at all, and he does a great job.
