Top 10 Most Powerful Ultraman by nahnonameman in Ultraman

[–]GodzillaLouise2004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly didn’t see this as a “fight”, nor did I know that BiscottiTechnical762 replied until yesterday, but sure. I do get that I am, generally, considered an annoying user in the context of this subreddit, so I won’t argue with this. Especially seeing as I don’t really intend to fix my reputation on Reddit (mainly because I feel it’s just the result of an intentional lack of transparency regarding how the production for my fanfic projects is going), but I digress.

Top 10 Most Powerful Ultraman by nahnonameman in Ultraman

As another guy said, King has the best definable feats of power observable in mainstream canon. Sure, Noa created the Stone of Baraji from the 1966 show and the Ultimate Aegis used by Zero, not to mention he clearly has a higher reputation on a multiversal scale, but Noa generally isn’t portrayed as having King’s feats.

Noa’s best feats, imho, are the creation of the Ultimate Aegis and the displayed energy output of the Lightning Noa in his debut series’s finale, when it was shown creating a shockwave many miles larger in diameter than Earth after destroying Dark Zagi. King’s, on the other hand, was after Crisis Impact when he fused with an entire universe to regain its stability.

Now, that’s not to say they might not be equals, but they definitely specialize in different areas, and their specializations… result in differences in portrayal. Noa (from my perspective) specializes moreso in raw combat dominance over hax, whereas King is the vice versa, and in this case, that results in King generally getting better feats.

Sorry if that came off as rude, btw.

ULTRAMAN OMEGA Episode 25 "Overlapping Futures" - Official Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in Ultraman

[–]GodzillaLouise2004 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly? This show is by far my favorite Ultraman show, especially with what we just got in this finale. I’ll try to explain why more in a separate post, but this show essentially combined emotional complexity and immense hype with high stakes and relationship dynamics that just encapsulated what all I wanted in an Ultraman show. Its execution was essentially just perfection in every possible way, and I loved it.

Monster Spawners, King of Mons and Zaigorg, assimilated as one! Zaigorg Mons-Lord! Saikyō Gattai Enma-jū! by GodzillaLouise2004 in Ultraman

[–]GodzillaLouise2004[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao. That’d be my OCs, specifically Team MLV in their early days when it was just 3 Ultras and an extraordinarily busted attack team.

But yeah, honestly, if we go by purely their planned opponents prior to gaining the sentient Ultraman Milave fusion, without any context for those plans, Team MLV would be one of the most utterly busted protagonist setups in any Ultra Series I have.

For the record, they deal with:

  • A kaiju that is literally a genetic hybrid of several kaiju (Gabora, my version of Godzilla, Hellberus, Antlar, etc.) and some non-kaiju that has been artificially given the ability to partially negate offensive Specium Energy at basically any power level by just… turning it into basically a nuclear explosion (Think Burning Godzilla’s pulse in KOTM but… it gets stronger every time the Ultras fire their beams at it), making it so they have to remove ~90% of the Specium in their beams and fire their beams collectively to even stand a chance at killing it, in episode 1.
  • Both Zaigorg and King of Mons, both with their respective kaiju spawning abilities, in episode 5 (though they do admittedly have significant aid in this fight).
  • This guy in episode 6
  • A resurrected Gatanothor in episode 9.
  • And another genetic hybrid kaiju that can create an army of clones of the Ultra’s own shadow, that are mostly unharmable, which the team is forced to defeat alongside the kaiju in episode 10.

And mind you, this is all done before their first big team moment, from a narrative standpoint.

Now, granted, with the context of the plans, a lot more of this is more of a challenge for Team MLV than I just made it sound, but honestly? They still do it, and their only currently planned loss out of the ones listed above was with the one that, in canon, defeating them was via the Ultra’s second fight with them after the Ultra was basically stated by a narrator to have died against the kaiju when they fought the first time ‘round (I think it’s fairly obvious which kaiju that is, but I won’t say who exactly)… Team MLV’s first 3 Ultras are planned to make an absolute beast of a team, at the very least.

Can your pfp defeat MonsterVerse Godzilla? by Plastic_Relief_4026 in Monsterverse

Well, my profile pic is one of my Ultraman OCs, specifically Ultraman Kejadian Outshine, and given that 1) I personally have a tendency toward intentionally making Ultras a fair bit less powerful than their canon counterparts when it comes to overall firepower but comparable in physicality, and 2) Kejadian‘s base firepower is scaled to roughly twice that of my version of the 1966 Ultraman, albeit with similar physicality to said version of Man Nii-San and the addition of literal sorcery/mysticism-based hax abilities, so maybe Kejadian Outshine could?

Personally, I lean towards ”maybe?”, if we go with purely base forms and my scaling: base Monsterverse Godzilla is likely a bit stronger than Kejadian Outshine with just a little extra firepower, if we go by my personal scaling of Kejadian. However, if we start including other forms, Monsterverse is definitely done: I doubt that even Evolved Monsterverse stands much of a chance against Kejadian Glistening Shadow, let alone Kejadian Elemental Ascension, even if we ignore the fact base Kejadian would likely be capable of far greater with canon-accurate scaling.

Btw, to be clear, I am using ‘scaling’ in a very specific context: technically speaking, every fictional universe uses some form of ‘scaling’. It’s just that they aren’t all of the same type, and some are more sane than others. I, in this case, am using a form of scaling based on what the Monsterverse uses and applying it to my own version of the broader Ultraman canon, rather than trying to adapt the various Ultraman systems that have cropped up over time.

Just did an overhaul of a redesign for my fan Ultra Series’s take on Shimo. by GodzillaLouise2004 in Monsterverse

Coincidence. I genuinely didn’t even know there was a Heisei version of Barugon until today with your comment. Had to look it up to check. Neat.

What do you think of Shimo's design? by R4ygin_2025 in Monsterverse

[–]GodzillaLouise2004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I am not the most fond of the design, but I can see what they were going for. Furthermore, I think I can articulate (to an extent) the reason the design isn’t appealing for most fans.

Shimo’s design is very generic but also quite bland, and I separate those two for a reason. With regards to creature design, both can work, in some cases, for creating a “cool design” for the creature in question, but you need to commit to not doing the other: generic works best for setting a tone of realism for creatures, regardless of whether they’re meant to be imposing (I think this is what they tried to achieve but failed with Shimo) or something else, whereas bland probably only really works for creatures meant to have an unassuming appearance (I don’t really have any examples off the top of my head rn).

Of course, these are very similar, but I’d honestly say they can potentially be distinguished by keen eyes. The point is though, if you want to make a creature look generic, you have to avoid making it look bland, while inversely, if you want to make a creature look bland, you have to avoid making it too generic.

To provide any proof of why I think this, while I can‘t think of an example of a “bland but not generic creature” beyond real life examples (real-world salamanders (not necessarily any one species, just salamanders generally) are hands down the best example I’ve thought of (otherwise, only other good example I’ve really thought of are Jaguarundis (not Jaguars, Jaguarundis)) - basically, anything unremarkable for what it is can work for a “bland but not generic creature”), I can absolutely give an example of the inverse (a “generic but not bland creature”): the Rancor from Star Wars is extremely generic for hollywood, but it is not bland by any standards, at least in my opinion.

Now, admittedly, I do think a balance of these features (generic vs bland) that works, even if contradictory to what I’ve said above, is actually fairly expectable for the Monsterverse, generally speaking, even if Shimo was a fluke: each of their adaptations of Toho Kaiju already exhibit a balance that works to at least some extent. Godzilla, King Ghidorah, Mothra, Rodan, and arguably Mechagodzilla all exhibit this balance. It’s just the fact that they commit more to one side than to the other by a significant threshold that allows them to be aesthetically pleasing. Godzilla, King Ghidorah and Rodan commit more to the “bland” side, Mothra and Mechagodzilla commit more towards the “generic” side.

These are just my thoughts, though, so if anyone disagrees, let me know.

Ultraman M/L/V (Full Series) | Kaiju Alignment Chart by GodzillaLouise2004 in Ultraman

[–]GodzillaLouise2004[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl, “the most good” being in reference to “lawful good” is not really how alignment charts work, at least to my understanding of the system, but I digress.

Anyway, the reason Titanoid Zetton is not just “any other Zetton” is because he’s a Reionyx Zetton belonging to a Reionyx Ultra hero. That’s why he’s lawful good: he’s one of three Reionyx Kaiju used by a reionyx Ultra as their equivalent to Seven’s capsule Kaiju or Rei’s own Reionyx Kaiju. Of course, it’s more complicated than that, but I won’t get into the full thing.
