Did you watch Black Sun? That was wall-to-wall filled with black people, had a plot that boiled down to "Abe and the LDP are le bad!" and also directly had a kaijin getting George Floyd'd. On top of doing the usual shitty reboot thing of having a strong female who steps in to save the day when the busted hero hack it.
I watched an episode and gave up on it seeing the writing on the wall. I assumed made for Amazon/Netflix stuff was it's own spin off, not the primary source.
He'll have some voice over shit. It will be a Gatack movie with Tendo being lost in super speed or some shit. Maybe he'll appear to do a transformation scene.
At this point, is CODE even a legit organization? They seem to have more defectors than agents.
Toei just shot this scene with this weird gap between the actors for no reason. C'mon guys.
You're not missing out on much. Aside from the shit I mentioned, it's oddly cheap-looking outside of the two lead suits. I also appreciate the fact that both Black Sun and Shadow Moon each have a more monstrous form and a Rider form. It's just that every other suit looks dangerously cheap. Also Bilgenia's new design looks an awful lot like Reverse Flash did in that shitty Ezra Miller Flash movie.
At this point, I'm just sick of the whole "Heroic organization meant to support the Riders ends up being evil" plotlines in the Reiwa Era. I don't care if it's "ReAlIsTiC" like some guy on Reddit said when I complained about all the "CODE bad" shit. If you reuse the same plot twist every year, and I can't believe I have to say this, it stops being a plot twist. If My-Th ends up doing this too, I'm dropping it immediately.
The core theme for every Rider series is using the powers of evil for good. CODE is to ZEZTZ, as Shocker is to Ichigo and Nigo. The only way CODE couldn't have been evil was if another organization existed, plus the organization double-cross is a classic spy trope to begin with.
I understand that, and I'm not saying the twist itself is bad. It works for the story and the theme of idealistic dreams being crushed by reality. I'm sure it caught a lot of kids off-guard too.
Tokuyama just came out of a time machine after doing the Zi-O shoot.
He's like the Sean Bean of Japan.
It's funny how for all the debates on how to handle the drug crisis, Japan seemed to figure it out: Get out of the drug business, or Kamen Rider will fucking kill you.
