Shirakura says he decided to depict Agito as a cheerful man who likes to cook and grow plants because the hero should be a role model adored by contemporary children and accepted by their parents.

``The ideal man in today's society doesn't seem to be the hot-blooded type,'' he says.



So basically, they've turned Masked Rider into a spineless, gay interior designer. Jeez, that's supposed to be a hero for boys to admire? Whatever happened to Superman?

Yup, someone has been in Japan too long. What'd you want him to do? Abuse women and alcohol? :roll:

Well, Superman doesn't really have a personality. I'm pretty sure I never read anything he said as anything but "I must (save/stop) the (people/children/building/villain/meteor/death ray, etc)!"

Superman the REAL hero

Postby kamome » Mon Jun 17, 2002 7:33 pm

Hey, you have to admit that both Superman AND Batman were the ultimate heroes for young guys to admire. They weren't growing plants and trying to make people smile. They were badasses beating up the bad guys and were popular with the ladies. Batman drove a cool car and was a ladies' man as Bruce Wayne. Superman didn't even need a car and could stop bullets with his chest. What's studly about this new Masked Rider? He's a wuss.

Man, that just reminds me of how shitty Japanese TV is. Even a cheeseball crap kids show like this that's produced in the US has far better acting and production value than the most serious of Japanese dramas.
