I always compare it to Bouken Black. Boukenger tried really hard to make Masumi a really cool, dangerous Black Condor type, and the actor was completely incapable of pulling it off (and was also waaaay too young). The writers should have let that go and started writing something to suit the actor more, as they did with Gunpei, but they just kept trying to force him to be something the actor couldn't convey. And, yes, Toei should cast people who are able to play the part as it's written, but that's not the way they operate anymore, now is it? :loltongue:
