Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight - The Official Thread

[Quark]

Why do you guys have to make discussion of this show so impossible? Hows come i'm not allowed to say anything bad about the show without being told to shut the **** up (is there even a point to reporting this shiz anymore?). Those of us who want to discuss PR constantly have to trudge through pages of bile.

But there are no consequences. Things DON'T matter.

Spoiler

The Earth riders have no recollection of the war, there's no consequences for what Adam did, and everyone else gets a happy ending. But things are supposed to MATTER on this show?

DO YOU NOT SEE HOW INFURIATING THAT IS?

Ryuki

...everyone dies...main hero is killed before the end of the series...Deus Ex Machina...aka Kanzaki...pushes the RESET Button on the NES....everyone is alive...but don't remember anything...ending was bitter sweet and the use of the RESET occured at the wrong moment.

...then...13 Riders two endings...and Episode Final's Cliffhanger.

Dragon Knight

...Earthbound Riders are "vented"...but the Ventaran Riders return...Alternative is the Chairman of Kitchen Stadium (Allez Cuisine)...Female Rider Curse Broken (Kase is brought back)...Back-up Female Rider lasts longer (Maya lasted longer than Rina)...Saban's Masked Rider Curse broken...not even Ferbus can stop it...Wrath's Rider Headbutt...Kit becomes Ryuga...and despite the reset button being pushed, it only effected the vented riders.




Overall...congratulations Wang Brothers, Adness, and 4Kids...many rider curses were broken. Alternative is now a true blue Kamen Rider (Allez Cuisine!!!). Kase and Maya are still alive. Too many good things to list. Trent and Lacey became USEFUL instead of USELESS.


Now go adapt Kabuto and deal with the plot hole that is "Perfect Zecter.":buttrock:


Or better yet...since you made on "Black Sheep" Rider badass...make Hibiki look good.:laugh:

Ugh. Most PR fans are joke. Too much whining! Waah! Waah! Seriously, shut the **** up. If you don't like the spoilers, don't watch it! Bunch of babies! :redface2: I don't give a flying **** what they think about this show.

Of course you do, that's why you're throwing a hissy fit right now.

Some people should really stop pretending that Dragon Knight is something it's not. It's not a serious show, there's no great acting (William O'Leary is pretty good, but that's it), no great writing, it's just a ridiculous good vs. evil story with a deus ex machina resolution and one note characters. It's basically an average Power Rangers season with less colorful costumes.

I'm not saying Dragon Knight is a bad show, it's just not a great show. Some elements were good and I agree that PR did most of these things better in its 17 seasons, but that's not exactly hard to achieve if you try for almost two decades.
For a first season Dragon Knight was decent, certainly better than MMPR.

At least MMPR wasn't afraid to embrace it's own concept.

Because KRDK is the best thing ever. There is no question about how well it is made and the thing here is, probably the greatest thing since the Saban Era's Time Force Power Rangers aka US Mirai Sentai Timeranger.

THIS I AGREE TO THE HIGHEST MAXIMUM POINT. Man! I wish KRDK gets another 40-Episode season or if they could pull 555/Faiz or Kabuto or Agito or Blade (If this, please don't lose interest there Mr. Freedom-san. I know that you once put "Repeat after me, Blade is not the sequel of Dragon Knight".) with ALL of the movie exclusive and specials Kamen Riders present in the show performing all of their finishers within the show (If another Season is under production, then I want Camo and Spear's Final Vent) with full force.

...That's EXACTLY what happened on Dragon Knight.

Oh really? At least the V Riders are back and that there is no such thing as "RESET BUTTON" ever got pressed or the yada yadas that made the fans so pissed about. Look at Ryuki's ending if only they did something like this and that with the higher "TRAGIC HERO" stuff which is nowhere there ever happened, then I would be saying this for a long, long time "RYUKI>>>DRAGON KNIGHT to the max". And speaking of which, double check the entire series yourself and see why this and that happen.

Even better than STRETCH ARMSTRONG? His arms stretch from HERE TO NEXT WEEK! Is this a bad time to mention I don't like Time Force? It's such an interesting series. For some reason older fans think they're being pandered to when in reality the writer's gave up and just translated Timeranger. If you only like PR when it's a shot for shot remake of Sentai (minus blood, cursing and all the kewl stuff), you're probably watching the wrong show.

Eubulon is the reset button, dude. TWO MINUTES after Kit is vented, Michelle Walsh leads Len to Eubulon. He then proceeds to undermine the two most important rules that define this universe: One man, One deck and Being sent to the void is a fate worse than death. Did you read the spoilers? Like Mr. U said, there are no consequences.

After reading the spoilers summaries, I'm interested in watching the finale even more.

It wasn't like the Kanzaki "I made a mistake" reset...yes, Dragon Knight pushed the reset button, but what were the results...

Orginal Ventaran Knights returns, not the Earth counterparts

Ryuga is a "good guy"...instead of..."I wanna be a real boy." (We put up with that with Mac in Overdrive). Honestly, I would have been pissed if Kit became Wing Knight, it worked for Shinji, it wouldn't work for Kit.:laugh:

Not the "Countdown to Destruction" ending I wished for, but turned out decent overall.

TWO MINUTES after Kit is vented, Michelle Walsh leads Len to Eubulon. He then proceeds to undermine the two most important rules that define this universe: One man, One deck and Being sent to the void is a fate worse than death.

You make it sound like Eubulon is "Good Kanzaki", which makes Xaviax "Evil Kanzaki":sly:

I think he makes it look like it.

1st (bold) paragraph: Watching the wrong show? I don't think so. I am watching the right show(s) here and that is why I am posting what is considered "YEAH!" to all (Look at my Youtube comments and how many agrees with it).

2nd: He's the reset button? If so, at least he did the right thing in the right time unlike the bastard Kanzaki that really became the overlord of the epic reset button who fails to do the right things at the right time. That my fellow HJU user is why I detest the "reset button" because it really is mostly another annoying plot device that does no good.

IF ________=Reset button then was it done right in the right time by that person? ANSWERS:
Eubulon=YES! Nuff' said.
Kanzaki=NO! He did an epic fail thing.

I find it troubling that there's so much heated debates about the ending of the show when it seems to me only a couple of people saw it and only in Spanish. Yes, they gave their opinions and interpretations of what they got out of the story, but it's just one or two people's opinions. Given the broad spectrum of each individual's likes and dislikes on this forum, It seem to me a bit premature to debate about these unaired episodes.

I for one am waiting to see the final episodes properly (on TV and in English) when it airs to decide for myself instead of blindly jumping in to discuss something I have not seen. I believe the discussions will be more productive, and probably even more heated when the proper time comes.
