Bobcat Moran @bobcatmoran.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I think part of it is that Rider is seen as Dark and Edgy, in a way that will appeal to 9 year olds who think they're Too Old and Too Cool for Sentai, but also actual adults glom onto that vibe, even when it's still clearly a children's show for children. Ultra doesn't market itself that way. 170

Bobcat Moran @bobcatmoran.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Oh, that's genius! My childhood neighborhood was basically a self-contained loop off the main drag, and most families had kids, so traffic was barely a thing, but I know most neighborhoods do not work that way 010
Bobcat Moran @bobcatmoran.bsky.social · 03/10/2026There was also the era before GPS units were widely available where you could go onto sites like Yahoo Maps or Mapquest and get directions that you could print out. However, woe betide you if you missed a turn in those directions, because you'd then be lost. 020
Bobcat Moran @bobcatmoran.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Locally, we'd only need directions to get to the closest major road, and we knew how all of those intersected with each other - my dad used to sketch out maps for me before I learned them. On trips, we relied on paper maps. The person in the passenger seat would take on Navigation Duty. 220
Bobcat Moran @bobcatmoran.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I was the Designated Navigator for multiple family road trips as a kid, and on a trip to San Francisco, I inadvertently, because the paper map did not show elevation, chose some INSANELY steeply hilly routes to get from Point A to Point B.
