The ABSOLUTE STATE of the American Tokusatsu Experience

I'm sure I'm not the only person who is experiencing cape comic exhaustion, but I am curious if anyone feels the same way as I do about the not so subtle ties it has to Japanese Tokusatsu.

The entertainment industry is well aware of the power of nostalgia in our generation. They know if they keep producing new content (along with remaking the older stuff), that we will not only watch it and get really invested, but that we'll pass it on to our children as well (a whole nother generation they can profit from). That's one reason Disney is so successful: they created movies we loved in our childhood (and have nostalgia for), and we pass it down to our children. Enough of my rant, your videos are entertaining! 😂

Yeah if all of the "live action" cgi animation remakes taught me anything it's that Disney will milk the cow until it's bone dry. I just think the the concept of cape comics having the feel of the Japanese Tokusatsu is a neat overlap that I don't see a lot of people pointing out.

Would love to see you cover Sentai, Rider and Ultraman

[@TheAverageGatsby]

I've got a few vid ideas in mind right now, but I currently have 1 vid for Kamen Rider Revice, and am anticipating I'll do a vid for both Donbrothers and Geats. But as usual life keeps me busy.

@@TheAverageGatsby Understandable. Just happy to see more people talk about this sort of stuff

[@whattheegad]

Wait, did you use "absolute state" in your video title coincidentally or... 🤔

[@TheAverageGatsby]

I wasn't sure what you were talking about until I checked your channel, 6 hours ago what in the actual hell. Rest assured though I'm far too lazy to push a video together in 6 hours as I started working on this 5 minute video 3 weeks ago because I can't be bothered to be any bit consistent. That being said I feel obligated to watch your video now EDIT: lol watched it, I got dunked on for being cautiously optimistic and giving a bit of clickbaity love.

@@TheAverageGatsby I had you subbed and when I saw the title I immediately thought you must have seen mine and written a similar title. Weird. Anyway, hopefully my sentiments didn't hit your personally. Hopefully the fact that I've subbed to you will indicate I don't mean any ill will even if I disagree with you about Ghost Game. I'm doing an ongoing series on Digimon Tamers, by the way, if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3-TaqKaqMtogMk

@@whattheegad Nah, it's a common catchy phrase and average minds think. As for having opposing opinions on entertainment media I welcome it. It's equal parts boring to hear all positive or all negative same-y opinions on anything. Helps keep things fresh. But yeah hopefully Ghost Game doesn't shit the bed like 2020 did at all points.

[@whattheegad]

@@TheAverageGatsby Still, did you notice? We also put "absolute state" in capital letters too. That's just uncanny...

[@TheAverageGatsby]

@@whattheegad little pizzazz for the eye catching title. Gotta keep 'em guessing

[@ciderhype]

For some reason Iron Man isn't considered a Kamen Rider. Honestly, I think that's a Federal crime, and we should begin prosecution immediately.

[@TheAverageGatsby]

There is a concerningly large number of MCU characters that are a fancy belt away from being considered Kamen Riders.

[@maingamer6846]

Or Moon Knight. Or Black Panther
