Jumping the Shark in Tokusatsu

[lazycoconut]

I don't dislike Shinkenger? But man, this episode was incredibly stupid. It's the only episode of the show I genuinely dislike, as opposed to just finding it okay.

Objectively, without taking my reaction to other fans into account, I don't think Shinkenger was at all a bad show. It's just that episode. If it had been done for, say, Gekiranger or Goseiger (which I really like) I'd still find it ridiculous

- The cat episode of Shinkenger. I think it is one of the most stupid episodes ever written for television. If Power Rangers copies it, I'll rip my hair out

The dreaded cat episode :laugh:

Dear God.........oh boi, the image of Takeru in that cat pose will never leave my head to this day :sweat:

Gonna go out on a limb here and say any and all movies after Sarabara Den-O, that had Den-O in them.

One movie? sure. No biggie. Every Kamen Rider series gets it. Two? eh, unconventional, but it made a big splash in Japan, so I won't knock it. Plus it was pretty fun.

The next time I heard of a movie that was the official Jumping the Shark moment. I could handle two movies and keep the level of enjoyment and respect I had for it. Now just pumping out more is rather absurd. You're just going too far.

How has no one mentioned the possessed doll story in Kamen Rider Double??

Possibly 'cuz it wasn't the beginning of the show's downfall in many people's opinions. :v At least in my opinion, W doesn't really have any sort of entire downfall to itself, really. It's genuinely fun to watch as a whole, to me. … although that doll still creeps the hell out of me, regardless.

That was simply a goofy episode, and it had other elements that were serious and advanced the plot. It wasn't entirely outrageous. W didn't really have a downfall moment unless you were a fan of one character or another and they didn't appear after a certain episode anymore.

Tru dat.

I only really remember not liking that episode of the whole show...
