That Tokusatsu Thread

[Turtles McDougal]

It's sad that Inoue's last good Kamen Rider series was Agito itself. Faiz was plagued with too much J-drama and miscommunications from different characters while Kiva seemed to rehash concepts from Faiz such as the secondary Kamen Rider being an asshole and the Checkmate Four being a vampire version of the Lucky Clover. Also, the Wonderful Blue Sky Organization is completely useless in both the 1986 and 2008 timelines.

Just like Vince Russo from the wrestling world, Inoue needs some people to tard-wrangle him in order to at least create sensible plots without insulting the intelligence of the fans.

Inoue seems to be aware of his own 'isms is the thing.

The Z-io Kiva arc really was just him doing all his greatest hits from miscommunication drama to dropping a power up there, anyway...

I'd like him to do Ultraman, just to complete the trifecta.

Just saw the news that Hikaru Kurosaki, suit actor, stunt player and the star of Juspion passed away at 64. One of the early Metal Heroes series I really got into back when, and he was a great lead.

First, it's Gavan and now it's Juspion.

Liked Juspion overall as a show although I find the giant robot vs. giant monster fights to be quite lame since I was spoiled by giant robot fights from multiple Super Sentai shows. The human-sized fights though were more interesting since it didn't always have to occur in an alt. dimension.
