Kamen Rider Double Rumor/Picture Thread

[Forever Knight]

The whole purpose of Toei adding new stuff is to keep the show interesting. But no matter what, the characters will always come first.

Yep.

I don't see why you're reacting so badly to this. That list basically only confirms a second Rider and his basic equipment..

When doesn't he react like this?.

So in other words, what is there originally is or becomes so bad that the shows desperately need new things? Or is the audience so jaded that they will stop giving a damn about the shows unless there is a new thing to dazzle them every few episodes?

It's a show that needs to sell toys, so they'll keep pumping new stuff in throughout the years. All shows in the last ten years have done this. Heck, despite having four Riders, Agito had about 13 different toys to sell in just the standard vynl, then you have all the weapons, belts, and motorcycle toys and junk, all shows have had an overload of junk. Just depends on how they're written in, and after seeing some of Sanjo's other stuff, I'm confident he can move new stuff in an interesting manner.

Riku Sanjo is knocking it out of the park thus far with W, but he's not a machine. He's produced some stuff that is good and some stuff that is quite bad at different points in his career, like most creators.

In particular: one of Sanjo's writing credits is M.D. Geist, long considered by many critics to be one of the worst anime ever made, or at least one of the worst released in the US. He also claims co-creator status for it and wrote the sequel.

You can't excuse M.D. Geist as an early credit, because he'd already done the great Dai no Daibouken series by that point. Riku Sanjo knew how to write, and especially how to write good action. He just somehow woke up one day and thought that writing M.D. Geist would be a good idea.

So it strikes me as pretty far from impossible that Accel will turn out to be a bad idea. I hope he will be a good idea, of course, and I really hope his character was designed when all of the other core cast were. That would increase the chance that he has something to add to the plot.

Pumping in new stuff to sell toys is fine; a Rider show can plan around that and create good drama from it. It's when you pump in new stuff and attached new characters that your creative team can end up stuck performing a delicate balancing act, if the additions weren't planned out well.

A bit like how Uwe Boll wakes up and still thinks it's a good idea for him to continue making movies? :O_O: Is that the scale of potential disaster we are talking about?

Since he first joined the board. What do you expect? This is Black Fang, he always whine and complain.

It's the Guyver!

Now, that I like! :thumbs:
