Tokusatsu Thread (Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Ultraman and the likes)

@Prof.NightJack  
I guess (computer AI and non humanoid robots).

@OptimusPrimevil  
Well then that’s it.  
Wait, looking it up Denziman had Denzi Dog IC, a robot dog(played by real dogs) and voiced by Hisako Kyōda(Genkai of YuYu Hakusho).

Sounds like the Kamen Rider 1 movie is actually decent, judging by this summary someone posted on 4chan (warning: massive spoilers):
 

 
That post between the two parts of the summary pretty much sums up all the whiny fanboys who can’t accept that Hongo isn’t invincible.

Here’s the tweet that posted the screencap. The screencap’s easier to read if you view the tweet, click the image, and then select “View Image”:

I’ve never considered Hongo invincible, myself. I mean, he’s probably the weakest of the Showa Riders, barring Riderman. But he still kicks tons of ass because there’s a reason it’s “Ichigo of Skill, Nigo of Strength”. He’s probably the most experienced Rider out there.
 
That review also reminds me of the first few episodes of the original show, where Hongo was actively disgusted and despondent over losing his humanity. At least up until the point he resolved to make sure it didn’t happen to other people.

It just hit me that Yurusen’s name might be a play on the word Yureisen which means Ghost Ship.

@SquiggyBomb  
Actully it’s from yurei(ghost) and urusai(noisy).

@Prof.NightJack
 
Huh. The first time I heard it, I thought it was a reference to “Unforgiven/ Unforgivable” (yurusan) and how some ghosts hang around because of guilt or some crime they committed while alive.

@WM-R  
It is also that, but the name is built based off the other two.

I wish that the Taisen movies could go back to the way it was for the first two and give equal screen time to all groups of toku heroes.

@09MurphyM
 
What brought this on?

So since Zyuohger 7 and Ghost 24 are both part of the “Spring Vacation Combining Special” for this year, I have to wait for not only the next part of Ghost but part 2 of the special…  
Also this year the special isn’t also a plug for a new Taisen film, and it’s not the full hour show but two episodes.  
Oh and Ichigo is listed on the Kamen Rider and Toku wikis as being in the Ghost half.

@WM-R  
Mostly, that they seem to have forgotten that the whole point of the Taisen movies was to give equal screen time to Kamen rider and super sentai, rather than just give 90 percent of the screen time to Kamen rider and only 5 percent to super sentai.

@09MurphyM  
In the case of Taisen GP, that’s a GOOD thing.  
F-ing Ninninger….

@09MurphyM
 
“equal screen time”
 
By having them spend 90% of the movie fighting each other rather than the bad guys and not actually teaming up to stop the villains until like the last 10 minutes, which is also a problem with Kamen Rider Taisen.
 
Sorry, but I hate stories where the heroes spend most of their screen time fighting each other rather than the actual bad guys.

Huh.  
Apparently Alain’s actor for Ghost is a big Jojo fan and his favorite Stand is Limp Bizkit.

Over-Time subbed the first episode of Kamen Rider Amazons.

Alright. Question time.  
What Rider belt do you think is the most needlessly complex?

@Prof.NightJack
 
So is “Kamen Rider Amazons” like a mini-series or something? For that matter, why are they doing this now? I can’t remember when the original Amazon started, so I wouldn’t know if this is some kind of “40th anniversary of Kamen Rider Amazon” celebration…

@Jarkes  
It’s part of the “Super Hero Year” that Toei is doing, the 45th anniversary of the Kamen Rider series and 40th season of Super Sentai.  
Amazons is a new 13 episode series based on Amazon, if connected to it isn’t really known, that is put on on Japanese Amazon Prime, it is part of this event like the Kamen Rider 1 movie.

News about the PR reboot movie, David Denman is going to play Jason’s dad.

@Prof.NightJack  
Jason had a dad?
 
 
_{^{I kid I kid}}

@SquiggyBomb
 
All of them had parents, but they only ever appeared in “Return of an Old Friend”, when Rita kidnapped them in order to get the Power Coins. And it was basically a case of “Generation Xerox”; they were all EXACTLY like their kids.
 
And unlike Static Shock, where when Virgil’s dad was kidnapped by the bad guys he INSTANTLY figured out that it was because Virgil was Static, it never occurs to the Rangers’ parents that their kids are the Rangers.

@Jarkes  
Even Skull’s parents where like him, Bulk’s where the only one that seemed normal.  

 
Also Robert had a good idea about Virgil beforehand, he said then he likely was sure for longer but somthing in his mind just denied it, that was just the point where it was clear and no point in fooling himself anymore.
