So, I know "filler" is a forbidden word around here, but can someone explain why this series had so much of it?

Was the fact that these two were spies supposed to be a surprise? Because it seemed way too obvious to me from the second they debuted.

So, are the Cosmo Gavarion that Shout found at the end of episode 1 and the one from the Eval Alliance the same? Or were there, for some reason, two different Cosmo Gavarions abandoned on Earth in Omegahorn's dimension?

Which of these four do you think will be the first to die from the Zodiac Alliance?

I know this is old news, but I just saw the Polar Beginning special and wanted to give my opinion.

I don't usually watch specials, and anyway, I wasn't on the site I use to watch Toku, but the internet finally won me over, so I decided to look for it and found it.

Honestly, it was incredible. I loved Mashiro's companions, and I liked Mashiro more in this episode than in the entire main series.

That said, I think they should have made it longer, either a two-parter, a movie, or a miniseries. We only get 15 minutes with the old Gozyuger before everything goes to hell, and in those 15 minutes, I loved them. So I think if we'd had more time, I would have liked them even more and felt even more sadness at the ending. It also would have given Misaki more impact, as she was somewhat underdeveloped compared to her teammates.

Furthermore, I think Midoriko should have been the opposite of Kenjiro in that she ages when using her ring instead of rejuvenating. I know that Super Sentai kids aren't anything new, but they're usually limited to sixth Ranger or something like that. I really don't feel comfortable seeing a ten-year-old girl, or even younger, on the main team. Maybe Midoriko could choose when to be young and when not, and as compensation, she wouldn't have any limitations?

Finally, I think we should have seen more members of the Calamity faction besides the Morrises. Whether it was one of the three generals or a Kaijin, I think it would have been great to see the previous generation of Gozyuger fight against something more than just simple Mooks.

Am I the only one who wanted him to stay longer?

I don't know if it was a permanent change, but I definitely would have liked him to have stayed on the team for more than one episode. I certainly thought that was the intention when it was announced, and honestly, I think he did quite well in the single episode he was on the team.

Do you think Omegahorn will be based on arc villains?

I've noticed that all the minor members of the Eval alliance seen so far, except for Touma from episode six (whose division is unclear) and York and Ryo (who are Bassa's bodyguards), belong to Gennou's division. Do you think the series will focus solely on them until Gennou is defeated, after which another executive (either Reiji or Bassa) will become the superior of all the Minor Hunters? Or will we eventually see Minor Hunters serving other executives appear on a rotating basis?

Why did this guy stay for so long?

For anyone who doesn't know him, this is Admiral Majin from Kamen Rider 1979, better known as Kamen Rider Skyrider. He served as the main antagonist from episode 18 (though making a brief appearance at the end of the previous episode) until episode 53 (the penultimate episode of the series), as well as in the movie, and I can't explain why.

The guy certainly had charisma, but definitely not enough to last that long (37 episodes out of a 54-episode series). On average, Majin has the most individual appearances of any villain in the first seven Kamen Rider series, not counting the great Leader, in terms of episodes. Keep in mind that back then, Kamen Rider series didn't last as long as they do now, so Majin is longer than the entire run of Kamen Rider X (35 episodes) and Amazon (24 episodes), and almost as long as Stronger (39). Also, his arc has most of the double episodes, as well as the entire arc where past Riders appear to fight alongside Skyrider.

I know that might not seem like much nowadays, but consider that in this era Kamen Rider followed a standard of "arc villain" in the sense of "a general who would deploy Kaijin for several episodes before facing Kamen Rider in his own Kaijin form, being destroyed, and then a new general appearing to repeat the cycle." So, the fact that this type lasted so long is surprising.

Furthermore, the great Leader was notably absent for almost all of Majin's participation, so this guy was the only recurring antagonist we had to listen to.

Does anyone know if the guy was popular back then or anything like that?

Doctor, is that you?

I don't know why, but the first thing I thought of when I saw Jerokia (from episodes 3 and 4 of Omegahorn) was the Second Doctor from Doctor Who. It's strange, since I don't even like Doctor Who that much.

I guess it's that perpetual frown they both have.

If, hypothetically, Mike had never fallen into the fire in Australian Outback, but Kucha still lost the final Immunity Challenge, how do you think the rest of the season would have gone?

Exactly what the title says. I've seen everyone saying that "if it weren't for Mike's evacuation, Kucha would have won and dominated the rest of the season," but what would have happened if that hadn't been the case? We don't really know what the final Tribal Immunity Challenge was supposed to be; it could very well have been a case where numbers didn't really matter, or where, like in the Ogakor Maze, Ogakor won even with fewer people.

What do you think would have happened? I'm torn between Mike and Nick being voted out by Tribal Council.

Merge Boot Least Favorites from Each Season?

Finally, we've finished (or maybe I just don't have something in mind, but I'm not sure if I'll do it) this series of posts with the last thing we had left. Which character from each season that made it to the merge do you like the least? Follow the same points as the other one; the three finalists don't count, those who return through the repechage count as eliminated in the merge, and only their version from that specific season will be considered. Since the Fans vs. Favorites merge is just starting, anyone is valid. In my case, it would be:

Season 1: Gabby (I love them all. I'm just choosing Gabby because she's the one who lasts the shortest time)

Season 2: Karol (again, I love them all)

All-Stars: Ashley or Yul

Carnival or Chaos: Marissa

Fans vs. Favorites: Tom or Gabby

What do you all think? Who are your least favorites from each merge?

pre-merge Least favorite boot from each season?

As the title says, yesterday I made a post asking which of the eliminated characters in the team phase each season was the people's favorite. Now I thought I'd ask the opposite question and find out which of those eliminated during the team phase is the least favorite. Just like last time, this will only consider their performance in this particular season without taking into account what happens in future or past seasons. In my case, they would be:

Season 1: Nick

Season 2: Yul

All-Stars: Ellie

Carnival of Chaos: Diego (I like them all, actually)

Fans vs. favorites: Evie

What's your list?

Furthermore, I didn't clarify it last time because I hadn't decided yet, but I consider Karol, Connor (his All-Stars version), Marissa, and Amelie to have been eliminated in the merge due to their return in the repechage, so none of them will count.

Pre-merge boot favorites from each season?

As the title says, I'm interested in knowing who you think are your favorites among the characters who were eliminated in the team phase of each season. This will obviously only include their performance in that particular season. In my case, it would be:

Season 1: Ashley

Season 2: Kai

Al-Stars: Fiore

Carnival of Chaos: Tristan

Fans vs. favorites: Dunia

What do you think? Which contestant who didn't make it to the merge did you like the most?

How did they film episode 6 of Disventure Camp 1 In-Universe?

This is my first time creating a Reddit post, so please excuse any issues.

The other day I was watching episode 2 of Disventure Camp 1 (I'd never seen anything before episode 4) and I noticed an exchange that caught my attention.

Derek: "Hey, Jensen! How's our project going?"

Jensen: "All set. By the way, have you guys started streaming the episodes yet?"

Trevor: "We're just finishing editing ♪the first one♪."

Jensen: "Remember to cut out all the scenes I'm in."

Trevor: "Did."

Based on this, all the scenes where Jensen appears in episode 1, and therefore probably in all the others, were edited out and weren't seen in-universe (at least not in the original show).

But based on this, how was episode 6 filmed then? Unlike the other challenges, in this one Jensen was a vital part (since he was the hunter the competitors had to flee from). Even if we assume the scenes were cut so the hunter wasn't seen on camera, Jensen is still explicitly mentioned when the presenters explain the challenge.

There are still a couple of episodes where removing Jensen wouldn't be so easy (for example, in episode 3, it's his voice that explains the fears, so anyone watching the show would recognize it), but this case catches my attention.
