Say, how come the full music video by Da Pump - P.A.R.T.Y. ~Universe Festival~ is not included in the release?

How did they manage to make it both WORSE than the choices they made in the actual episodes, but also with a plot point that would have made a HELL of a lot more sense in the show than it would for a movie?

Woz actually being part of a secondary cult dedicated to revising the timeline would have made a hell of a lot more sense than him just being some nebulous Oma Zi-O worshiper and had they drawn it out properly, they could have actually made a half decent two or three episode Drive arc rather than cramming it in to extend the movie's run time. Cause god forbid we give Mr. Blank Slate Protagonist some actual chances to show character growth rather than giving him what is technically the first of two Deus Ex Machina moments to make him come out on top in the series as a whole.

The bit with the Quartzers bitching about Heisei being ugly and inelegant is a laugh, basically the aging directors and writers condescending to the kids over being too picky about what they consider entertaining. There's nothing wrong with having a legacy and nostalgia in your media product but acting like the old ways were perfect and the new stuff is crap is only going to piss people off. They could have made it something similar to the Heisei VS Showa, but that would have required effort on their part.

And they barely even cared to include Zero-One at all, cramming him into a scene after all the credits roll is just lazy at this point. I think they've outgrown the need to use movies to introduce the next Riders, it barely makes any tangible connections anymore.

As a whole Zi-O is up there with Ghost for me. Like others have said this movie is a mess. The first 3rd Wall break... I'll give you it but, after it just irked me same with the plot(?) "Heisei ugly, destory!" Sure the Heisei era (and I would even say Showa) has/had it's ups & downs, but what shows don't ?

Seeing G & Brain again was nice. Sadly I don't think I can add anything that the others have already stated.

Thanks T-N for all the work you guys & gals do.

Or to say it in others words : enjoy the show or what it is and not for what you think it should be.

Did I miss the part where they made drugs legal in Japan?

Man, I was not at all prepared for this movie. I was expecting the usual semi-serious fare of a KR movie. Instead this movie is as meta as all heck; it's like a 7 layer bean dip of metaness. At one point (the big bad complaining about the Heisei writing), I seriously had to stop and make sure I hadn't accidentally downloaded a parody. I'm still not sure if I need to check and see if I'm having a stroke.

I think BreadToku put it best: Heisei Generations was apparently the serious tribute to Heisei. This was the madcap meta commentary on Heisei.

What else is there to say? The plot was nonsense. The camera work was unorthodox at best. And the characterization was all over the place. But at least the scoring was pretty good?

And now, my random notes from watching this movie. Because there's no sense in trying to make sense of a movie that doesn't want to make sense.
  • Toei's historical village. Take two shots.
  • "Nobunga, what do you want to do right now?" "Make babies!"
  • Hey, it's the robots from the future past. Toei actually remembered them!
  • "What's wrong with an uneven road?" Have you ever tried diving on one? It's awful
  • Well at least they're not saving Zi-O's ultimate form until the last 5 minutes for no good reason. [...] Oh, only to get his ass whooped.
  • "Of course life isn't beautiful." "Why, just take a look at me, for example"
BreadToku wrote: Mon Feb 03, 2020 9:41 am As for the obligatory movie form though, I wish I found it more interesting to talk about. Oma Form is a rather generically 'cool' golden suit, but I can't help but compare it (unfavourably) to Zi-O's others forms. Zi-O II is much cooler, Trinity and Grand are much 'louder', and I don't even think Oma Form resembles Oma Zi-O anymore than his base form does. It's just generic and also powerful in a generic way.
This is legitimate criticism. Toei kind of peaked with the design for Oma Zi-O; anything that tries to be inspired by it on copies from it just comes off as a poor knock-off.

I went into this movie expecting some answers. Instead, I now hate this season more than any rider ever!

Sougo was a kagemusha for someone who was the real Oma Zi-O who they chose at random, but they didn't. Schwartz did! Was he friends with them or did they have him pick Sougo?! Did he hate the Heisei era too?

They cameo every main rider and even got the other riders who didn't count, and while that manga one was pretty cool, how are you gonna bring in Brain but not Heart?

Speaking of cameos, the real Tsukasa was in the main cast. Where was he in this movie?

And someone actually shut up Woz, without even bothering to explain how he, Tsukuyomi, and Geiz are still alive! It's like they just called it a night after introducing the Showa version of Zi-O.

I... I just can't. The writers are more spiteful to critics than me and SuperMarioLogan put together. At least I don't waste money yelling at people.

Ooh, I just now caught the parallel with Geiz being Nobunaga's kagemusha. Also yeah, where the fuck were the Timejackers in this movie?
