Super Hero Taisen X

True to the "next one's got to be bigger and badder", the next Super Hero Taisen movie will span studio systems with Super Hero Taisen X: Kamen Rider x Super Sentai versus the ChouSeiShin series.

When asked about what lead to this decision, Toei admitted that they really couldn't come up with a good reason for Kamen Riders and Sentai members to be fighting. So they're just going to beat up heroes from a different universe. "Hey, at least it's not Toei heroes that they'll be beating up. It's just some third-rate hero series that most people have forgotten by now, so it'll be great. So our goal this time is to have over a thousand stunt actors on screen in the big clusterfuck battle at the end."

The ChouSeiShin series was a hero series that aired from 2003 to 2006. It had two full year series and one 3/4 of a year series. The actors were rerported to have been grateful that people still remember then 10 years later. "Oh yeah, the kids that watched your show are now teenagers. It's the perfect time to reap their sense of nostalgia for childhood memories. This movie is going to be great."

Full disclosure: I meant to write this joke article a couple months ago when I saw these pictures online. At the time, Super Hero Taisen 2 wasn't actually a thing, but I guess it actually is now?
