It's only slightly better than the disaster that's Power Rangers Ninja Steel!īlack RX does have some issues like the Crisis Empire villains are indeed moronic Metal Hero rejects - their leader Grand Lord Crisis has to be the biggest moron in the show! At least Gorgom is more threatening and scary even if well they're still stuck in the standard convoluted and/or just plain unbelievable plans for world domination! But at least Black RX had some stupid villains to fight against and we do know that old school Kamen Rider is usually defined by stupid villains' rather absurd plans for world domination. Though I do still have issues with Kento Shimoyama because of Ninninger - a series that only got "better" because of no summer break, no Victor and Monty, the girls are hotter but that's just it. I may not like those arcs that feature guest Kamen Riders that will just disappear such as Kamen Rider Shinobi and Kamen Rider Kikai - at least the tribute episodes from past Kamen Riders are far more decent. A good example is how certain cast members from past do appear and we do get back into several past eras. As much as I do feel super negative about the Shimoyama-Shirakura tandem - I still think Zi-O's tribute episodes are better in many ways. Decade simply gets into a wreck with the Alternate Reality worlds. Gokaiger makes you want more of its predecessors. Is that my Kuuga? Is that my Agito? Is that my (insert Kamen Rider) here? It just doesn't do it like Gokaiger (a series that came later) does it. The whole Alternate Reality world concept in Decade is so frustrating beyond frustrating. Sure, Sota Fukushi didn't appear due to Bleach but at least we did get more guest stars. The first episode really makes you wonder what's the point of the previous nine worlds existing IF you're just going to demolish them and create Alternate Reality Riders in their place? I'm even getting my Kamen Rider Agito vibes right now (and I'm about to catch up with Zi-O any time soon) when I heard that Kamen Rider Zi-O will also feature them. So those are kind of bad, right?īut I felt Decade did a worse demolition job than Black RX. I always felt Grand Lord Crisis should've been destroyed by the 11 Riders than just Black RX alone. The time paradox can be weird for me especially since we know that Black RX is indeed the loose sequel of Black! I felt Black RX's loose ends are still loose such as Shadow Moon's return, why didn't Kyoko and Kasumi send their regards in Black RX early on before they will be forgotten, I felt like Crisis Empire should've had some connections with Gorgom or other previous organizations and the rather weak finale. So why this was done was probably create two possibilities - what if Black RX never existed in one timeline and he did in another timeline. We do know an Alternate Reality version of Black RX appeared side by side with an Alternate Reality Version of Black. Then we do know what happened with Black RX after it ended - there was no new Kamen Rider series during the 90s but only movies - were those attempts to reformat Kamen Rider but other stuff were getting in the way? But on my own - I've grown fond of ToQGer years after it ended! Then I would admit that I do like Black RX but never as much as Black. However, we also have it in common with our dislike for Kyoryuger (which is his bottom) or that I actually did copy his negative opinion of ToQGer from him. So what's with the RX Meltdown? I admit I'm inspired to write this post because of Shogo B'Stard's latest post is Black RX related - I know he really doesn't like the series and we've had differences such as I'm a Timeranger fan, I like Boukenger to a certain extent and I think Kyuranger is a decent series. If there's the RX Meltdown then there's also the Decade Meltdown too. But I thought of Decade's sudden cancellation at 31 episodes is probably due to bad audience reception. It's like I do experience people who love Decade and beat me up for my rather negative opinion about it - I guess you do realize I love calling it the "sequel" of Saban's Mashed Rider (which is an Old Shame) and defending it to saying, "But Decade has lot of good special effects! Better budget! Shinkenger's crossover with Decade is miles better than MMPR's crossover with Mashed Rider!" and I agree. Kamen Rider Black RX and Kamen Rider Decade - two shows that I really find to be quite hated or loved with almost no middle ground.
