You ever think about how Condorman trying to fly by hurling himself off high places is very accurate to how real condors fly and it probably would have worked if he’d actually had wings with a 10 feet wingspan?

The series saying he can’t fly seems to mainly refer to him not being able to power up off the ground which isn’t really how condors fly anyway and also we’re shown him doing little hops or jumping and then extending his cape wings to achieve a sort of glide

Kamen Rider: We have masked heroes on motorbikes Sentai: We have heroes in teams Ultraman: We have giant heroes and kaiju Kawauchi heroes: We have *putting head together and furiously whispering* RELIGION

Actually TV toku hero shows began as serialized dramas and adopted the episodic format later

*taps mic* I think the entire toku community should watch Gekko Kamen

Condorman simultaneously having pretty basic female representation for a Kawauchi hero show and going okay so here’s a little girl and all the little boys gotta listen to her

Rider this and Rider that guys guys when is Toei going to give us a modern remake of Nanairo Kamen in which they make Lan Koutarou a cynical asshole who kills all the villains

Instead of Starfish Hitler, Mr K from Rainbowman should be the new “toku is/isn’t political” discourse guy

When you’re the lead in a hero show but first you gotta be humiliated on national TV

Miyauchi Hiroshi would have loved being in Diamond Eye, a show whose entire gimmick is “what if the hero didn’t henshin” but I don’t think he would have loved that first scene where Raiko gets spanked by his mom for dirt bike racing and then a bunch of people photograph him

But seriously have you seen the amount of dangerous things they do on that show

Zubat looking so much like color swapped Diamond Eye gets funnier when you remember these shows came out 4 years apart and were made by different studios

Sorry but according to Mr Ose Koichi of Gekko Kamen fame, ikemen in TV hero shows have been a thing for as long as TV hero shows have been a thing

Maybe if we had more “wow Kawauchi heroes are so cool and interesting and absolutely everyone should know about them” people in the toku fandom we wouldn’t have to rely on one set of Rainbowman subs and one set of Condorman subs

We could have a billion versions of subbed Gekko Kamen now wouldn’t that be the dream

Not that I’m rooting for the bird to get roasted but they wasted so much time doing this whole interrogation thing when that IS what he really looks like. He’s a birb. That’s it that’s the show
