so the thing about Guyver and Guyver 2: Dark Hero is that the latter is considered "better" due to its darker vibes which apparently match the source material better, but I would argue that dark and brooding vibes aren't always better. I liked the first one way more. #monsterdon

@forestine@sunny.garden I saw both in a back-to-back double feature as a kid and remember being super grossed out by the first one and super bored by the second one. #monsterdon

@forestine@sunny.garden Interesting... I thought the second one was "better" in the sense of being more competently made (better acting, writing, etc.), but I don't care how much it matches the source material. I'm definitely no particular fan of dark and brooding vibes, but the comedic elements that the first one was trying to pull off were *so* out of place and poorly executed IMO. #Monsterdon
