Why was old toku (pre-2000) so cringy? Did they just not care about good plots and characters or what?
>>
Not enough collectable widgets.
>>
Why is new toku 200% more toy commercials, bishie boys, and bad CGI?

Also I don't know what branch of toku you refer to specifically (Sentai, Ultraman, Godzilla) but the quality in different eras varies WILDLY between them anyway.

Toku in general is always cringy

Ignore /krg/ posters.
They'd tell you The Room is superior to Citizen Kane based solely on one being newer.
>>

God Damn Dragon Knight was bad. I laughed hard when the stingray guy start's talking about how the guys from the mirrors are taking away freedom of Americans

What's the context of this scene? I don't recall anything similar in Ryuku?
>>
>>14379427
>anything similar in Ryuki
Apart from the mirror world effect and the belts, Dragon Knight was very far detached from its source material.
>>
>>14379432
That explains it.

Still, what was the context of the scene?
>>
>>14379452
Don't know, really. Only saw the part of dragon Knight where the mirror world's HURRDURR EVIL EMPIRE shows up.

"Cringy". I should be stoned for even entertaining this bait in the firstplace but how about you at least pretend to have some kind of real critique before you shitpost? Or maybe just get a actual hobby and not waste everyone's time
>>
>>14379255
They think that's what 4chan's about in it's entirety and thus have to show how much "they fit in"

The Alternative suit was the most forgettable design in Ryuki in my opinion, especially with the likes of Zolda or Odin in there.

I really wish you weren't right.

It must be because of Alternative not fitting in Ryuki

>>
>>14381899
Damn straight! I wonder what they were thinking with it, not to mention putting it as a design with barely any focus aside from being TR8R'd.
>>
>>14379124
What they cared about was fun. One day you'll grow up and learn to have fun, I hope.
>>
>>14381968
Read it again you dope on a rope. He non-ironically agrees with the (I assume) ironic shitpost that the first Terminator movie is 'cringy', looks bad and is shit.
>>
>>14382121
Maybe try reading the entire post, jackass.
>>
>>14382145
I did. I read both the first part and the second part. You evidentally forgot the first part after reading the second if you thought the dude was saying the first movie was good and only the ones after 2 were bad.
>>
>>14379124

There's nothing more cringy than modern toku.
>>
It's not cringy, it's just campy most of the time.
>>
>>14382368
And downright adorable.

At the very least the female Kamen Rider actually does something SUBSTANTIAL unlike her Japanese counterpart where she fucking DIES
>>
>>14382960
I still think Odin was a better bad guy though, but I might be in the minority.
>>
>>14379663
I really liked the Alternative design. It just seemed more uniform than the actual Rider suits, with the armor and undersuit parts feeling closer to the same thing, rather than completely separate.

>>14381899
>>14382067
Because Alternative wasn't really a Rider, so they had to make that clear somehow.
>>
>>14382997
Yui did become Alternative Zero in one of the alternate Ryuki stories, and it was apparently based on a humanized cricket.
>>
>>14382121
That's not an ironic signpost, /krg/ literally feels that way.

Silly, nonsensical stories, shallow characters, awful character designs / costumes, bad effects, lame fights, same thing that really plagued the Showa-era Godzilla really.
>>
Do kaiju movies count as toku? Because if so, you're very wrong.

Not that I'm saying you're necessarily right if they don't count, mind. I just don't know if you are since in that case the earliest toku I've watched is Kuuga.
>>
>>14382373
Evolved Tapir was too pure for this world.

You must take a lot of pride taking grown man in colorful tights seriously.
>>
>>14383034
Can you answer seriously:
Was that sarcasm?
>>
>>14383982
I'd say he's still right if we're talking about kaiju flicks, as they were pretty unwatchable until the 90s or so.
>>
>>14387106
The original Godzilla's only flaw was that it was kind of slow. There were a number of other good Showa era Godzilla films, even if they were a bit campy at times. Not sure about other stuff as I haven't watched any non-Godzilla stuff from before the 90s or so.

>grown man in colorful tights
What's wrong with taking Shakespeare seriously?
>>
>>14383982
Tokusatsu just means special effects. So yes.
>>
>>14382960
Every rider in Ryuki died and did nothing. What's your point?
>>
Bad effects obviously.
>>
>>14383038

Well I mean, none of those statements are wrong.

But we're not sensible people, so we belong here.
>>
>>14379270
>>14379577
My exact thought.

I miss campy early horror vibe Kamen Rider

Who let /krg/ trash out of containment?
