I think he was gray enough for us to just forget about him. Casting an actual (half) south american guy was really cool but I would've put a bit more effort into looking for the right guy.
I don't know if he's faking the accent or something but it seemed as if he was focusing only on getting the japanese right while his acting was just...ghastly...
In other words, he sucked, let's continue.
And I kept wondering out of all the Riders to bring back, why Amazon? Maybe its cuz Im not too into Amazon, but I kept wondering why they didnt bring back another rider like Super-1 or maybe one of the original Riders. I guess it was the best way to depict a world ruled by DaiShocker. But, I think they still could have done it with another rider.
I'm thinking Amazon might be a pretty popular cult Rider, also his looks and sounds make him unique among all the classic Riders, without needing much time to explain what he is.
Not to mention that he looks like he is either very tired or very wasted. Notice how he blinks during his second henshin. He looks like a drunk guy who tries to keep focus.
I am beginning to think that I should meet up for audition next time Toei is making a new show. If this guy can pass, then I think everyone can.
Heck, I think a monkey could have made a better Amazon
Finally! Some one or everyone it looks like agrees with me here! I hate the new Amazon. I never had watched Amazon till Nana showed some videos to me and I got like the Henshin in my head now (and will never leave). When the new guy was like "A-MA-ZON" I was like, "LAME LAME LAME LAME!"
Of course, the new Amazon will not be as good as the original one. When I saw the picture from a magazine, I already knew that the kid will not be as powerful as the original Amazon actor.
"There can only be one "God Of Tokusatsu" and his name is Tsuburaya Eiji."
He's not a fantastic actor. That's about it, because goddamn does he look the part. Quite a pretty boy. I wouldn't say he's lame, but he's clearly not an actor. Rest easy in the fact we'll probably never see him again in a supporting character capcaciy after this arc.
