Kamen Rider W (Double) - Talk Up!

[Lynxara]

Yeah, the original was Decade Conclusion --> Begins Night --> Big Stupid Fight Scene, which had its own problems.

(Explosion of nonsense! Taught, subtle character-building piece that reveals Shotaro's greatest personal tragedy. Another explosion of nonsense!)

Well, at least the second explosion of nonsense was as it was intended to be.

Maybe this is why I automatically think of Inoue each freaking time I catch a local soap on TV.

Ha? I'm disappointed again now.

That's all Decade is.

I should watch the director's cut... It's been long enough since I saw the original that I might enjoy it more. Did anything on the Double side change much?

More scenes with the idol and Death Dopant interacting and also an extra scene that showed more of Akiko's investigation and her talking briefly with Shotaro before his return.

Well, at least the second explosion of nonsense was as it was intended to be.

That was actually the worst part of the movie to me. What was up with writing off every Rider from Decade a few seconds into the battle? The Decade part of the Doras battle featured 12 Riders fighting at once... but the final part was just a big Double CG fest. There was barely time for the Doras battle itself. Thankfully, it seems like they'll focus on only one opponent for the final segment in this year's Movie Wars Core.

I just kinda sat back and watched the pretty explosions. That's really the only way to take what you're seeing.

And come on. Double Double was pretty cool.

That made me wish we got Kamen Rider Cyclone in the series proper like we did with Kamen Rider Joker.

In one of the last episodes, it was said that they were going to start rebuilding Fuuto Tower. Was that destroyed in the second Double movie? I can't recall it getting damaged in the series.

Also when does Begins Night take place? Just trying to place it.

IIRC it's after the Mr. Q arc, judging by the release date of the movie/air date of episodes.

Yes. A bunch of stuff in the ending references the second movie, like Kazu being a NEVER.

There wouldn't be much of a point in a Kamen Rider Cyclone. Joker is the hard-boiled version of Double.

The final battle against Eternal was on Futo Tower. They demolished it during their fight. You can see it in all the commercials and the later opeinings. LunaTrigger fires at Eternal and whatnot. Eternal also causes some heavy damage to the Tower. I want to see the movie so bad. :shakefist

No wonder I never noticed, I always skip the OPs, except for the first and last episodes (in which case, the last episode was just the logo)
