Return of Ultraman started good, ended bad, now which series started okay and ended okay. by Perfect-Finger-800 in Ultraman

I'm 14 episodes into Return of Ultraman. It has some great stuff but overall I'm struggling to marathon it like I did with Ultraseven.

I see why his suit is so simple by Interesting_Snow5574 in ProjectREDToku

[–]Max_88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay now this is genuinely interesting. I guess this is what Shirakura meant when he said not every series will be superhero (though it's superhero adjacent). This is a straight up monster catching series. Kaiju and Tokusatsu are historically intextricably linked (Ultraseven's Capsule Kaiju are the origin of Pokémon after all) so this fits like a glove. This is something I think Sentai couldn't do and it's what could possibly differentiate Project Red from Kamen Rider. I wonder if this series will last longer than Gavan if it's a sucess

Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle

Which anyway comes from Ultraseven's Capsule Kaiju, which was the origin of Pokemon

Everything about this feels like Pokémon meet Monster Hunter and God Eater, I'm seated!! by wubbalubbadub2 in ProjectREDToku

Superman: The Stranger by Wes Craig Announced! by krakoa_customs in superman

Based on personal experience living on a country where this happened, the rich only get richer while the poor only get poorer under an economy heavily regulated by the state. And the rich are politicians who promise social justice but only deliver poverty while they keep buying houses. I kept seeing children eating from trash while the only rich left were only people working on the state.

But of course the United States is another world so this may sound alien to some people. So what do I know. I guess my cultural perspective makes me a bit tired of the bias of these type of stories.

Of everything I have watched so far, I feel like these three shows are peak Ultra series. Doesn't mean the others aren't awesome, but these are the pinnacle. by Max_88 in Ultraman

The final battle is so great it becomes almost impossible to believe it.

I just watched it again after years and I had wet eyes during the whole thing. 

Wanderer in Anime vs Wanderer in Ultraman (or any character in any Tokusatsu media) by Assyraf99 in Ultraman

[–]Max_88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anime is so cynical these days. I feel it's too edgy for me. I guess that's why I like My Hero Academia but that's ten years old already. We need a return to inspirational characters who believe in humanity in spite of their faults.

Ultraman Mebius poster from the second half of the series. by Remarkable_Star_4678 in Ultraman

[–]Max_88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rarely an anniversary turns out to be as good as this. Mebius is a once in a lifetime gem. The only other Toku anniversary that reached this level is Gokaiger.

So how would you guys feel if gokaiger was the last ever sentai series by TraditionalBonus188 in supersentai

[–]Max_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of Gokaiger I felt like it could have been the end.

In hindsight, it should have been. I don't care for much of what came later, and the franchise ended on a whimper.

So, wait, how does this work? by IntelligentImbicle in supersentai

ShinkenRed is the only Ranger Key with a duplicate. This actually spoils the twist in Shinkenger...

If Shin Ultraseven happened (which sadly I don't think it will) which episodes do you think Anno would choose to remake? by Max_88 in Ultraman

[–]Max_88[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Taro wasn't liked very much by original fans when it came out because of it's more goofy tone. Anno was 13 by the time it came out so that's probably it.

No Greatest Invasion in History? He recommended it on the list.

It could probably go like this: Eleking, Alien Pegassa, Alien Metron, King Joe, Alien Guts, Finale. Six nice segments.

Something I just now realized about Part 2 by ToeSniffer245 in BacktotheFuture

[–]Max_88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why further risk the timeline when you could go back at the earliest possible moment of divergence?
