For a while I hated Time Force through Ninja Storm but now I like them alot . I hope Time Force is released uncut with all the building explosions.
I started with Faiz and Ryuki and I feel like that exactly. I would really love a remake of the first Kamen Rider cast into a 1600's Japan setting with Ninjas and Samurai, kinda like a Samurai Champloo of sorts or just any rider in that period. I think different ideas are nifty for the franchise though there are ones that seem strange even for me and I like the Fouze design. It harks to the old toku .
While I believe that the original concept of the Rider might've been lost or covered over, the basic concept of a hero whose differences, ala being a cyborg or vampire or nerd or other outcast ,prevent him from fully integrating into the society which means he has to learn how to be human and be himself and fight better since he has nothing to lose. That is what I think a Kamen Rider is .
I'm still waiting for an Ultraman series that uses the Greek myths as the basis for an Ultra-Crusader War on the planet Earth like in the revolt of the Olympians against their father and the Titans. Also, a persian themed Sentai series would be badass, especially if they used free flowing Ancient Persian wear for the suits instead of the usual Spandex and had only two robots at least.
I know how you feel. I was hounded by Godzilla fans at another board for promoting the possibility of taking Godzilla to a new direction that is a balance of Showa's corniness and Heisei/Shodai Godziall'a seriousness. Though here , I got a much better reception for my Western Kamen Rider concept and my other ideas. You'll like it here.
For example, when I said that the first Michael Bay film was far better than the 1986 film, those Transfans had their daggers ready. I mean ,seriously, I just don't like it because none of the changes brought about in the film never stood bringing any gravity or credibility to the G1 franchise downwards. That's why I like the Japanese continuity over the American one since they stood with his death and kept him dead. They should've built up Rodimus Prime to a leader not unlike Optimus . Then , with Animated ,people hated it although it was more faithful to how G1 was compared to the Anime trilogy (Though Armada is my fave) and was kibble essentially; another series that should've gotten another season.
Point is every fandom does this , and I've done it a few times too, especially with Gekiranger's suits.
