I miss the maskless villains!

[Al_Taransky]

Most Sentai villains these days are Mascots, They are basically like the monsters too. I miss the era when they hire Porn actresses, Idols, Stuntmen, Stuntwomen, and Veteran actors play the villains and they don't have masks. They look human so you can see the emotions on their eyes and lips. Now All we have now are a bunch of mascots.

I think I blame Power rangers a bit for this because they won't need to dub an Asian actor in the English dub for the Americanized version.

Enter and Escape from Go-busters are the last human-looking villains I remember.

I miss them too, but at least Crunchula has a partial human face.

I heard Z in ToQGer was good.

I don't. Though how much of that was true and not just an exaggeration/different countries defining porn in different ways?

Apparently, Asami Kuru (who played Lila in Timeranger) said in an interview that Lila's outfit was specifically designed to be less revealing than the previous villainesses. (Which I assume means Zonette, Shibolena, Shelinda and Dinus)

He was.

Pretty much an exaggeration. A good article on the subject.

In Japan, XXX Means "Wrong, Wrong, Wrong"

This is one of the topics that always bothers me, because people always get their facts wrong or ignorantly repeat things or aren't fully...
