今日はしましたょ。
I absolutely adore Showa Era Tokusatsu. There is something about their production pre-ubiquitious CG that has such an alluring charm.
I finished Kamen Rider Black a while ago and have constantly started and re-started watching Kamen Rider Black RX.
The show is just SOOO different than Kamen Rider Black that preceded it and that it is a direct sequel too, something that no Kamen Rider series has done since.
Black was a show about Minami Kotaro who he and his adoptive brother, Nobuhiko Akizuki, had been candidates for a secret organization Golgom, to be mutated in to Black King(Kotaro) and Shadow Moon(Akizuki) and fight for the title of Century King to lead the Golgom Cult. Nobuhiko's real father and Minami's adoptive father broke Minami's mutatification process and busted him out before he could be brainwashed, a fate that Nobuhiko would subcome to.
The show spends the remainder of the 50ish episodes showing Minami Kotaro fight back against Golgom and their monsters in their attempt to retrieve Minami and at the same time fulfill the prophecy of the Century King, which Minami and Nobuhiko are fated to battle and eventually become.
The show is great, it's dark, atmospheric, and took a lot of bold risks with the production I feel like. I cannot recommend Kamen Rider Black, it is the pinnacle of what the Showa Era has to offer.
Kamen Rider Black RX however is very different in regards to it's setup. After the Golgom Cult is defeated Minami Kotaro becomes a helicopter pilot(sure I guess?) and works for the Sahara family and I guess casually lives in their house? During a flight the Crisis Empire kidnaps him and offers him a place in the Crisis Empire. He rejects them and the King Stone that allows him to turn into Black is broken and he is thrown into space. Somehow the Suns radiation mutates the King Stone and allows him to transform into Kamen Rider Black RX.
I feel like this setup is just so different. Instead of his family, someone he is close to, he is spending time with the Sahara family. This is a family that really is just played to max as a foil for comedy for the monsters of the week that show up.
The Crisis Empire feels like it doesn't really have any backstory besides wanting to conquer earth? Which I'm not sure why? They say the want to rid humans on earth and take it over? Because?
Besides the weak plot setup the show is amazing production-wise. Every monster-of-the-week is so well designed and looks like a main villain. RX just LOOOKS cool.
"俺は太陽の子！！！”
Not sure what happened but after RX aired it would take until the year 2000ish to get a new Kamen Rider Series.
Watch some old Tokusatsu, it's good stuff.
