Kamen Rider Wizard - News/Rumors/Pictures Thread Part 2

[Japaneseseriesfan]

But your point though? Great job analyzing what I said and all but that doesn't mean White Wizard will end up being this movies villain in a different outfit. Any plot with White Wizard would be saved for the series because movies are isolated events and having a character reveal his true intentions in a movie that some kids might not see would be confusing to follow when it carries back over into the show.

My point is that you've rejected the idea of that being the case completely... because it simply hasn't been done that way.

This is Toei we're talking about, they always try new ideas... even if it means departing from the good ones. Maybe that's why they're having a scene where fans can wear the Driver in the movie because they are trying to let the people feel like they're part of the Kamen Rider universe. It's the next step in marketing, including your audience into the show. It's about time they did something like this, because that might be Wizard's only redeeming effect.

yeah, i mean if they just make another driver just for the fans for the movie, it's kind of pointless especially if it's not used the series, that's why they are using the white wizard's driver, that way it's not going used once and not waste of money and time, and the toy can be used with the show and not just for the movie.

Well looking at the preview for episode 36 at least it looks like the fears that the next arc would be pure unadulterated filler just because the third writer is handling them won't come to pass. Hopefully.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I wasn't assuming about what sounds the toy does or does not make, I was just thinking about why Haruto would have a different belt from the other characters.

Early on, Phantoms used to make a big deal out of Haruto being able to switch elements, and I've always thought that he was special because of that. It could be that either Haruto or Dragon is special, and most wizards only have one element to their name/Phantom, and that in turn could make a pretty big difference.

That, or, more logically, because they want to make a new Rider but know from experience that one-off Riders' belts don't sell (especially villains), they're just giving the new guy White Wizard's belt to save money, and there will be zero explanation given and we'll be left to make explanations for ourselves as to why the new wizard has the same belt as White as opposed to Haruto.

IIRC Didn't they already do something similar to that with the OOO/Den-O/All Rider movie and the Faiz movie?

I mean, if i remember right from the making of for the OOO/Den-O movie, the last scene where everyone is tied up before the showa riders appear, the crowd were fans, and the arena scene with Orga and Faiz, the audience were fans too

I could b remembering wrong

I think HurricaneDragon meant ordinary people in movies being actual Riders, not just passers-by supporting the riders.

If Gremlin was able to keep his evil human heart, what if Haruto did the same if he fell into despair and became the dragon?

Well then he can't be Wizard. And the series would drag on for more stupid fillers about him trying to subdue the Dragon again and become Wizard.

Besides, he's already made peace with the Dragon within him. That would be going against the logic of him working alongside Dragon all this time. It'll be just another drag we've seen before with Eiji turning into a Greed.

Eiji becoming a Greeed wasn't really a drag. It was a gradual change, I'd say that's what made it that much more of an impact.

It wasn't a drag in OOO, but it will be a drag in Wizard because it's been done before, and it's pretty... too overused a concept. IMO
