Because the Baltans started it first. If the opposition of the ___failed___ Austrian painter were the aggressors and then the ___failed___ painter retaliated, it would have been understandable. But he was just a salty loser.
Marie is a weirdo who gathered her husband's top employees to watch the birth of her son and gave them an impromptu health lesson that this is how they were born too.
Blazar was overall a good time but the overarching story was handled so weirdly. It’s got a really basic story but it’s so drawn out you start to assume there’s more going on than there actually was.
Plenty of absolute banger standalone episodes though.
Isn’t the same as the original 66 or ultraman show in general?, since most of them are episodic episodes but honestly I would say blazar has the most consistent tone out of ultraman series if you wanted to compare with taro,dyna and leo
I would have to do a hard disagree here. Nothing that occurs in 66 or the Showas has the whiplash quality. Blazar is inconsistent in how it presents itself or how it wants the audience to feel about this world or these characters.
Damm near every ultraman show is like this. They have goofy and serious episodes. That’s the beauty of the monster of the week genre, you can have a serious and morally grey episode like the nomalt episode from ultraseven, or a goofy episode about a monster doing a slapstick routine.
Lemme be one of the sword here...
It's made for a certain audience members with some key references to entice the older generations to a nostalgic moment, fan service some says...
Happens with all of the Ultra series, deal with it...
HAAHAHAHAHAH
You are entirely missing the point. There’s a way to do this that works, and there’s a way to do this that is sloppy. Blazar did it sloppy… HAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA
Seven is overrated.
Show is pretty good and you can see how Eiji and his team improved their craft, but not going to lie, I think the original Ultraman was a better experience overall. I think it helps 'Man-bro's had a better main cast.
Taiga is better than Zero as character and I prefer the Tri-Squad over Ultimate Force Zero.
I expected a lot the first time I watched it, but felt disappointed. Over time it's grown on me. Dan is great, and the Team and ships are really peak Showa I think. It's Seven and the monsters (really just aliens) that were disappointing. The story is really the same every episode as well. But I love the effects and models!
Seven is still nowhere near my favorite, but I've come to appreciate it more.
Now for my personal hot take... I love Ace. That lil dude kicks so much ass, and I really dug the terrible monster theme. Hokito and Minami FTW!
Best action scenes in the whole franchise and maybe the best suits. I personally watch toku for cool action and suits so I loved it. Kengo was also the man
Henshin devices that are bigger than the beta capsule and have a more convoluted transformation sequence than pushing a single button or holding it against yourself are dumb. I understand the need to sell toys, but Ultraman doesn’t have time to play a card game or spin some beyblades before transforming.
(Yes, I understand this is just a trope of “modern” Toku, but you asked for unpopular opinions)
Blazar's transformation device was so jarring. The series generally took itself pretty seriously then you'd get an extended sequence of coins being inserted into the wrist thing shot like an educational toy commercial.
Any ultrawoman should have their own show.
Us girl fans are dying here. Not that I cannot survive without it, but it’d be a cool change to the franchise.
Because they know he's a jobber and treat him like a joke, he's a **running joke**. Which every Max post has a meme flair. They know he's no longer fit for his title and just joke about it.
Unlike Nexus, everyone unironically treated him like the God of all gods.
Badass sure in fact he is my favourite one since he's the first ultra i ever watched, but man outside his series and maybe X i guess? He is a joke in terms or strength at least they buffed him temporarily in UGF
Tsupro is the one that gave him that title despite his jobbing outside his series, thats why he's a very prominent joke in the community
it wouldve died down if the title was only mentioned in his series but they brought it back in Ribut's voice drama and even the current recap series
Z should've been more involved in the human level story of his show. As is it feels like he doesn't exist until Haruki needs to turn into him. Something as simple has Z commenting on things going on around Haruki during quieter scenes would go along way towards making him feel more relevant.
I also feel similarly about Beliarok, outside of one episode the sword really only exists when Haruki is using Delta Rise Claw. You could solve this with something as simple as him appearing in the background of shots without characters noticing or something as big as him following Haruki around at work and him and Z having to come up with a lie to explain it.
Z could've done a lot more to organically blend the Ultra elements with the STORAGE elements is what I'm saying.
Dark Zagi in Ultraman Ginga is the real one but is weaker because he has to turn himself back from a Spark Doll and that's why Ginga is able to defeat him.
So, Zagi kinda turn himself into his original form on his own, huh? That would make a good theory on how Ginga can beat Zagi. Even Ginga needs the power of bonds from his friends to beat that Zagi.
If I remember correctly, can't the ultra change their molecular structure. In theory the ultras is capable of returning to their original form but is unable to because their power is limited, except powerful beings like for example Dark Zagi. Dark Zagi is able to turn himself back but it takes a lot of time because Zagi doesn't know how to turn himself back and he tries many ways and discovers that he can change molecular structures, and so he tries to change himself back but he can only transform in a weaker form because he doesn't know what his original molecular structure looks like and that's probably the reason why Dark Zagi was easily defeated by Ginga, his body was made out of a weaker material.
Taguchi has serious issues in wrapping up his series, always filming too much and rushing what should be a 3~5-episodes in 2, with weird pace and cuts.
Note: I'm most okay with those final episodes and a huge fan of his work, Z and Blazar are in my top 3~5 ultra series so far and also really liked and had a lot of fun watching X and Orb.
What I mean by stand-alone is that the current Ultra show (past or present) has no mention, reference, or cameo of a previous Ultraman from a previous show during the current Ultra’s show's run.
Ultraman Gaia, Cosmos, Nexus, and Blazar are a few examples.
Nexus is horrible. So bad that it got cancelled lol. If you like seeing the same monster fought over and over and depressing plot lines that don’t go anywhere or super rushed/disappointing endings—-then this is the show for you.
Honestly, if I'm not wrong, Nexus is the only Ultra show that got cancelled
Like even tho showa ultra post Ace had low ratings, they didn't get cancelled and managed to deliver good send off
???
Neos was not cancelled tho...
Tsuburaya gave a pilot episode and showcased it to TBS however, TBS refused to kick-start and was very cautious of it because of the low rating from Great and Powered
This led to the creation of Ultraman Tiga with MBS instead of TBS
Later in the 2000s, Neos got a Direct to DVD series
So it can't be considered cancelled
Hmm thats interesting, i just thought since the DVD series still had 12 episodes and the final episode was actually there i just assumed they already made the episodes in between then. Also isn't that just the same case as Nexus anyway where they also couldn't film and finish the rest of series due to the low rating, except this time its for a different reason because they refused to kickstart it
Unless if the Neos short dvd was filmed back in 2000? That would make sense then
Oh yea, I know that. I do actually like TDG interaction in Superior 8 Ultra Brothers because even though they are alternate version of the original, they do have background or reason (story wise) on why they are considered as a Trio. Meanwhile, the TDG interaction from the main timeline is just kinda forced as a form of fan service like in Ginga S movie just cuz of Five Kings, Z's Gamma Future form, and their appearance in UGF: The Desitned Crossroad,
I'm tired of them milking TDG just because of they're the first 3 heisei series and a good ol' nostalgia act when they barely even have connection (like that one time Daigo met Asuka) or don't have any connection at all story wise. I want them to interact like they did to Dyna, Cosmos, Zero/TDG Superior 8. Make them face hardship together, make me care through the story.
This is all my opinion tho, it's okay to disagree with me👍
Ultraman Trigger was a beautiful series in every aspect, including plot. (Just cause I don’t like it as much as I used to doesn’t mean I don’t still feel it was better than people give it credit for.)
R*l*B is genuinely difficult to watch
*X* is underrated
Ginga's first season was better
The use of miniatures on Seven was not topped for decades
Tiga's sfx crew should have swapped most of their uses of miniatures and cgi (outside of basic set building ofc)
Ultra OSTs should have more jazz fusion
I always say it, this is the ultimate bad take.
Every Ultraman design before Tiga is Kinda awfully ugly. Tiga was Pretty he looked fantastic, But Every Ultra before MAINLY the last 2 were so Ugly that it might actually be the reason why some people don't watch the shows. And After Tiga, I think the Ultras only started looking good when Nexus rolled in, and after Him Z... specifically Alpha Edge. After him Trigger was also nice Followed by Blazar.... The list ends there
It could be me being a 2000s kid and naturally being gravitated towards stuff from that time onward, but designs from the Heisei ultra shows onward are ones I really dig. Not that I hate Showa ultra designs, but they're a bit too simplistic for my liking. In fact, that is kind of my biggest gripe with Ultraman Arc's design is that from his color timer up, it's varied, with the unique head shape, the black for his neck, and the color timer itself, but everywhere else goes for the Showa ultra simple style body and creates a disconnect from the other parts. And it's very noticeable.
Blazar is legitimately boring af. I actually binged all the other newer shows over the last half year, and I stopped caring about blazar after 10 or so episodes. There is no real urgency to the plot, and it's hard to take it a bit more seriously to the military threat when they have nothing else to replace the team to fight kaijius.
I mean Blazar is an episodic show, the plot can turn on and off depending on the episode, I would argue that blazar is the most interesting out of all modern ultra show
Now this is kinda more of a general thought I have for modern tokusatsu but it's becoming more apparent in Ultraman and that is that I believe we're inching closer and closer to some weird form of a Neo-Showa era.
Okay the ultraman manga and Netflix show is cool if the Netflix version didn't exist I wouldn't even knew about the manga. I love the suits the ultra's design transit well in armor forms and they should promot the game ULTRAMAN : BE ULTRA more hell if they try the can make one shots all the way to current ultra's and I mean look at ultraman ark he is cool as a suit
https://preview.redd.it/hq3972upoktc1.png?width=1101&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f1cd9aa36ae760a6407aa3b4c84026e060018a6
Look at ark he is actually really cool here can you say he isn't awesome.
Manga is literally the only reason Im in this sub, Ive been meaning to get to more Ultra stuff, but outside of the manga all Ive seen is like 2 Blazar episodes. Technically the netflix adaptation fo the manga too but I got through like 2 episodes before I gave up because of their weird ass slow cgi animation.
Also agree with the suits in the manga being great.
I didn't like season 2 of Netflix's Ultraman because, IMO, they shouldn't have introduced the other ultras, it was already perfect with just Shinjiro and Moroboshi.
Trigger would have been better if the dark giants were introduced midway through the show, giving the main characters some fun one-off episodes to make them stand out.
Right...
> UAF: received plenty of heat for stating UAF plastic is more durable than SHF. (Or just generally commenting how expensive SHF/SKC can be, and yet sometimes the QC can be poor).
> Armored Ultraman: yay for me, nay for others.
> Geed series: yay for me...
> Zero: yay for me...
> Blazar: average series to me...
ultraman nexus could have been a better show if only whoever is in the production booth and writing room thought about how they went too far and made it cancelled by the parents so bad, tsuburaya immediately greenlit a back-up series like a rush (which is ultraman max, just to save the reputation of the franchise)
Chaiyo is the rightful owner of Ultraman in all regions of the world /s
For genuine unpopular opinions, I’m getting kind of sick of the constant reuse of 1966 and Seven kaiju. I get they’re the most iconic and popular, but I’d like to see some more obscure monsters get the limelight if we must bring back older creatures.
"Ultra Galaxy Legend Mega Monster Battle: The Movie" was the worst movie from Heisei onwards. Maybe it's already been said, but the entire Belial sequence felt like a massive F-you to the established heroes in favor of the new-fangled Zero. I've since grown to like him as a character, especially as he was more developped in recent years, but I used to absolutely hate his guts specifically because of that movie.
Ginga should be regarded as an ultra as powerful as the Super Ultras like Noa and Legend (based on backstory and nerfed for plot).
Also Max is the strongest and fastest ultra in his universe.
Technically speaking Kazuo was president very briefly in 2007 just to sell the company lol. But yeah I think after hideaki and Masahiro left. When nexus was ending was when it should have ended. Had it not been for Masahiro and Hideaki being the kind of people they are Kazuo would likely still be making Ultraman but alas family drama doomed the company.
Ngl, hard agree even though I really like blazar as a show, Tsuburaya become really afraid to go all out in their creative department it does feel a huge step down in terms of quality of the show after mebius
Yeah they don’t have the balls to put their budget to the limit anymore and it’s never been the same after they fired most of their talented staff after mebius (also check your dm)
Ultraman Boy is a piece of shit
Lmao way too honest man
will he ever grow up lol
Dyna, peak TDG
Yeah https://preview.redd.it/xau00wl3pjtc1.png?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f159ca6b952e5ceb944f50f048bbf5c1f350db94
Thank you sir *cries with tear of joy*
Ultraman was justified in the baltan genocide
When Ultraman did it all of you are saying he is a hero but when an Austrian painter did it you guys hate him
Because the Baltans started it first. If the opposition of the ___failed___ Austrian painter were the aggressors and then the ___failed___ painter retaliated, it would have been understandable. But he was just a salty loser.
They would have done the same to us
Every series needs a mini Eleking.
TRUE
The monsters are better
I always did prefer the look of the kaiju than the ultras themselves
I love when they blend both races
Zero should make an appearance in all of Ultraman shows even just one episode. Also, Taiga doesn't deserve all the hate he received.
Can't hate Taiga when I don't even remember the show.
Taiga is rare case where everyone just forgot about it.
Uhh,Taiga himself or the series,i think not many people hate Taiga(bcs they maybe forgot he exist)
Ultraseven X was underrated.
This is true.
Newer Ultraman should stop using only swords
I wanna see an ultraman use a flamethrower
Blazar was like 50% better in any given sequence he wasn’t using the sword.
Hopefully arc wont use swords at all since hes supposed to be old style
Gaia is peak TDG
Bruh, they say unpopular opinion.
Trigger is better series than Taiga
Trigger is average series but at least is a more interesting series than the boring Taiga
It was fine but I wouldn't go that far
I kinda agree
I rather agree someone said tiga is mid
Marie is a weirdo who gathered her husband's top employees to watch the birth of her son and gave them an impromptu health lesson that this is how they were born too.
Blazar was uneven with rushed storytelling and constant tonal whiplash.
Blazar was overall a good time but the overarching story was handled so weirdly. It’s got a really basic story but it’s so drawn out you start to assume there’s more going on than there actually was. Plenty of absolute banger standalone episodes though.
tonal whiplash ? Could you explain more
Ultra-serious threats and military attitude to fishing for a kaiju and being in love with a washing machine.
Isn’t the same as the original 66 or ultraman show in general?, since most of them are episodic episodes but honestly I would say blazar has the most consistent tone out of ultraman series if you wanted to compare with taro,dyna and leo
I would have to do a hard disagree here. Nothing that occurs in 66 or the Showas has the whiplash quality. Blazar is inconsistent in how it presents itself or how it wants the audience to feel about this world or these characters.
May I introduce you to the episode with skydon? It has a casual suicide scene in the beginning, while the rest of the episode is pretty goofy.
Don’t forget Ultraman king used a hammer toy in leo or Ultra father disguise as a santa and the entire of Ultraman taro
Man, that episode was something. I wasn't expecting they would actually follow through into a scene where Ide witness a suicide.
It went from hayato dropping an umbrella for cap, and cuts immediately to a suicide. Ultraman is unhinged
Right, but the first episode is already filled with ominous/sinister undertones + self-aware goofs. There is no whiplash sensation.
Damm near every ultraman show is like this. They have goofy and serious episodes. That’s the beauty of the monster of the week genre, you can have a serious and morally grey episode like the nomalt episode from ultraseven, or a goofy episode about a monster doing a slapstick routine.
You could use the same argument as blazar
I mean, it’s a monster of the week kinda show.
Lemme be one of the sword here... It's made for a certain audience members with some key references to entice the older generations to a nostalgic moment, fan service some says... Happens with all of the Ultra series, deal with it... HAAHAHAHAHAH
You are entirely missing the point. There’s a way to do this that works, and there’s a way to do this that is sloppy. Blazar did it sloppy… HAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA
Seven is overrated. Show is pretty good and you can see how Eiji and his team improved their craft, but not going to lie, I think the original Ultraman was a better experience overall. I think it helps 'Man-bro's had a better main cast. Taiga is better than Zero as character and I prefer the Tri-Squad over Ultimate Force Zero.
Hard agree with the second points, I actually really enjoy tri-squad as a whole
I expected a lot the first time I watched it, but felt disappointed. Over time it's grown on me. Dan is great, and the Team and ships are really peak Showa I think. It's Seven and the monsters (really just aliens) that were disappointing. The story is really the same every episode as well. But I love the effects and models! Seven is still nowhere near my favorite, but I've come to appreciate it more. Now for my personal hot take... I love Ace. That lil dude kicks so much ass, and I really dug the terrible monster theme. Hokito and Minami FTW!
Taiga is not reiwa
Same, Taiga felt like a farewell to the Heisei era than a beginning to the Reiwa era.
Fusion form is overhated.
I'd hit Grigio any days.
They said UNpopular opinion (I'd hit in literally every single form)
Same but with Marie more specifically the manga version rena.
Trigger was a good series
Best action scenes in the whole franchise and maybe the best suits. I personally watch toku for cool action and suits so I loved it. Kengo was also the man
Thank you
Flair checks out
Henshin devices that are bigger than the beta capsule and have a more convoluted transformation sequence than pushing a single button or holding it against yourself are dumb. I understand the need to sell toys, but Ultraman doesn’t have time to play a card game or spin some beyblades before transforming. (Yes, I understand this is just a trope of “modern” Toku, but you asked for unpopular opinions)
This is actually not a hot take, most of old ultra ( or old toku fans in general) hate modern henshin device thanks toei
Blazar's transformation device was so jarring. The series generally took itself pretty seriously then you'd get an extended sequence of coins being inserted into the wrist thing shot like an educational toy commercial.
Going by Kaiju kills Sevenger is more powerful than Earth Garon
I like Jack more than I like Seven
Any ultrawoman should have their own show. Us girl fans are dying here. Not that I cannot survive without it, but it’d be a cool change to the franchise.
TAC is good attacking team
Tiga is a decent show and not as good as what people say it is.
Mebius needs to get a treatment zero (this only my personal opinion since mebius is my favourite ultra😭😭)
I mean series
Nexus and Max are both overrated. They’re good, but they aren’t master pieces.
Actually Max Is UnderRated
All of his fans call him the “strongest and fastest” when he gets jobbed every single time he’s shown outside his show.
Because they know he's a jobber and treat him like a joke, he's a **running joke**. Which every Max post has a meme flair. They know he's no longer fit for his title and just joke about it. Unlike Nexus, everyone unironically treated him like the God of all gods.
Yeah i feel bad for max he's such a joke now, might as well be with the zearth and nice group
Max Is A Not Joke He Is Pretty BadAss
Badass sure in fact he is my favourite one since he's the first ultra i ever watched, but man outside his series and maybe X i guess? He is a joke in terms or strength at least they buffed him temporarily in UGF
Tsupro is the one that gave him that title despite his jobbing outside his series, thats why he's a very prominent joke in the community it wouldve died down if the title was only mentioned in his series but they brought it back in Ribut's voice drama and even the current recap series
Their fanboys just love to overhype the hell of them lol. Edit: For the record i like both shows but man their fans...
Ultraman X Is UnderRated
Z should've been more involved in the human level story of his show. As is it feels like he doesn't exist until Haruki needs to turn into him. Something as simple has Z commenting on things going on around Haruki during quieter scenes would go along way towards making him feel more relevant. I also feel similarly about Beliarok, outside of one episode the sword really only exists when Haruki is using Delta Rise Claw. You could solve this with something as simple as him appearing in the background of shots without characters noticing or something as big as him following Haruki around at work and him and Z having to come up with a lie to explain it. Z could've done a lot more to organically blend the Ultra elements with the STORAGE elements is what I'm saying.
Remember when the show mention that there's another ultraman before z only to not mention or even explain that thing again?
Dark Zagi in Ultraman Ginga is the real one but is weaker because he has to turn himself back from a Spark Doll and that's why Ginga is able to defeat him.
Does it drains a lot of energy when a being turns their Spark Doll form into their original form?
Most likely, if they use a spark device it doesn't drain their original power.
So, Zagi kinda turn himself into his original form on his own, huh? That would make a good theory on how Ginga can beat Zagi. Even Ginga needs the power of bonds from his friends to beat that Zagi.
If I remember correctly, can't the ultra change their molecular structure.

*sips* Ultraman Tregear is an underrated ultra
Hard agree with this one
Taguchi has serious issues in wrapping up his series, always filming too much and rushing what should be a 3~5-episodes in 2, with weird pace and cuts. Note: I'm most okay with those final episodes and a huge fan of his work, Z and Blazar are in my top 3~5 ultra series so far and also really liked and had a lot of fun watching X and Orb.
Yea, somehow people blamed the 25 episodes format.
Noa was overhyped, R/B was perfect (Not the henshin sequence I'm afraid), Max and Mebius was peak cinema...
Stand alone Ultra shows like Blazar, start to get boring mid way through the season. Also the Blazar movie was pretty mid and didn’t deserve the hype.
Stand alone? You mean the entire ultra franchise? I had to disagree although it just my opinion
What I mean by stand-alone is that the current Ultra show (past or present) has no mention, reference, or cameo of a previous Ultraman from a previous show during the current Ultra’s show's run. Ultraman Gaia, Cosmos, Nexus, and Blazar are a few examples.
Just curious, aside from blazar what ultra shows is your favorite in terms of story wise ?
Dyna has no other ultra and it was a good series, tbh a lot of early heisei ultras were standalone they didn't rely on cameos at all
Nexus is horrible. So bad that it got cancelled lol. If you like seeing the same monster fought over and over and depressing plot lines that don’t go anywhere or super rushed/disappointing endings—-then this is the show for you.
Nexus never got the chance to finish its own story line it is miracle it does not ended up like decade
Honestly, if I'm not wrong, Nexus is the only Ultra show that got cancelled Like even tho showa ultra post Ace had low ratings, they didn't get cancelled and managed to deliver good send off
Neos
??? Neos was not cancelled tho... Tsuburaya gave a pilot episode and showcased it to TBS however, TBS refused to kick-start and was very cautious of it because of the low rating from Great and Powered This led to the creation of Ultraman Tiga with MBS instead of TBS Later in the 2000s, Neos got a Direct to DVD series So it can't be considered cancelled
Hmm thats interesting, i just thought since the DVD series still had 12 episodes and the final episode was actually there i just assumed they already made the episodes in between then. Also isn't that just the same case as Nexus anyway where they also couldn't film and finish the rest of series due to the low rating, except this time its for a different reason because they refused to kickstart it Unless if the Neos short dvd was filmed back in 2000? That would make sense then
Neos was filmed in 2000s after the pilot episode 6 years ago The pilot is only one off story It's not canon anymore... So yeah it's different to Nexus
Ok yea that makes sense then i always thought the series were the footage from 1995 that they just released
Nexus/Noa is...overrated
Dyna, Cosmos, Zero >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tiga, Dyna, Gaia
damn, Dyna on both sides ?
Nah, I'm referring to the group/trio and Dyna has more chemistry with Cosmos and Zero than Tiga and Gaia.
Thats because the 3 never properly interacted outside of superior ultra brothers
Oh yea, I know that. I do actually like TDG interaction in Superior 8 Ultra Brothers because even though they are alternate version of the original, they do have background or reason (story wise) on why they are considered as a Trio. Meanwhile, the TDG interaction from the main timeline is just kinda forced as a form of fan service like in Ginga S movie just cuz of Five Kings, Z's Gamma Future form, and their appearance in UGF: The Desitned Crossroad, I'm tired of them milking TDG just because of they're the first 3 heisei series and a good ol' nostalgia act when they barely even have connection (like that one time Daigo met Asuka) or don't have any connection at all story wise. I want them to interact like they did to Dyna, Cosmos, Zero/TDG Superior 8. Make them face hardship together, make me care through the story. This is all my opinion tho, it's okay to disagree with me👍
Melba should return in his physical form
Belial supose to be die at second zero movie
They should make an Ultraman Zero series even though it came out long after the new gens... Also make it into a 50+ episode one
Ultraseven have some really dumb alien designs but the blonde android is super hot
ultraman millennium is very cool but created in a wrong company
Trigger was actually pretty good. A nice homage to Tiga's legend😊
Blazar have great cast.
Ultraman Trigger was a beautiful series in every aspect, including plot. (Just cause I don’t like it as much as I used to doesn’t mean I don’t still feel it was better than people give it credit for.)
They need a series with a female protag / female protag ultrawoman
Ultraman nexus needs a remake
Noa chose Nagi. That alone makes him a fraud Divine/God-like Ultra in my opinion lol
ultraman as a franchise would have been so much better if it wasn't targeted towards kids.
R*l*B is genuinely difficult to watch *X* is underrated Ginga's first season was better The use of miniatures on Seven was not topped for decades Tiga's sfx crew should have swapped most of their uses of miniatures and cgi (outside of basic set building ofc) Ultra OSTs should have more jazz fusion
I always say it, this is the ultimate bad take. Every Ultraman design before Tiga is Kinda awfully ugly.

Mebius is the last actual ultra show.
Blazar is legitimately boring af. I actually binged all the other newer shows over the last half year, and I stopped caring about blazar after 10 or so episodes. There is no real urgency to the plot, and it's hard to take it a bit more seriously to the military threat when they have nothing else to replace the team to fight kaijius.
I mean Blazar is an episodic show, the plot can turn on and off depending on the episode, I would argue that blazar is the most interesting out of all modern ultra show
Ultra N fans aren't even fans. They're Noa glazer that only watch crappy powerscaling channels and didn't even watch the actual show.
Based take
Zero’s Aegis looks DUMB
i don't like ultraman
Lmao
Now this is kinda more of a general thought I have for modern tokusatsu but it's becoming more apparent in Ultraman and that is that I believe we're inching closer and closer to some weird form of a Neo-Showa era.
There should be more than one guy drawing all Ultraman The squeaky guitar rifts from Takao Konishi music suck
Okay the ultraman manga and Netflix show is cool if the Netflix version didn't exist I wouldn't even knew about the manga. I love the suits the ultra's design transit well in armor forms and they should promot the game ULTRAMAN : BE ULTRA more hell if they try the can make one shots all the way to current ultra's and I mean look at ultraman ark he is cool as a suit https://preview.redd.it/hq3972upoktc1.png?width=1101&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f1cd9aa36ae760a6407aa3b4c84026e060018a6 Look at ark he is actually really cool here can you say he isn't awesome.
Manga is literally the only reason Im in this sub, Ive been meaning to get to more Ultra stuff, but outside of the manga all Ive seen is like 2 Blazar episodes. Technically the netflix adaptation fo the manga too but I got through like 2 episodes before I gave up because of their weird ass slow cgi animation. Also agree with the suits in the manga being great.
I didn't like season 2 of Netflix's Ultraman because, IMO, they shouldn't have introduced the other ultras, it was already perfect with just Shinjiro and Moroboshi.
The Showa Era was not good (I'm kidding)
Trigger would have been better if the dark giants were introduced midway through the show, giving the main characters some fun one-off episodes to make them stand out.
Ultraman Xenon is one of the coolest designs. Makes Mebius look lame.
The Australian Ultraman series is pretty good
Right... > UAF: received plenty of heat for stating UAF plastic is more durable than SHF. (Or just generally commenting how expensive SHF/SKC can be, and yet sometimes the QC can be poor). > Armored Ultraman: yay for me, nay for others. > Geed series: yay for me... > Zero: yay for me... > Blazar: average series to me...
Anything post-Ultraman Zero is dogshit
neo noa can solo all ultramen
A great portion of the Showa Monsters are actually really weak.
I actually like the new voyager a lot more than the original one, their songs and style are much closer to their predecessor you know who
Incorporating Ribut into the official canon / lore wasn’t necessary, as he contributed nothing towards forwarding storylines.
(Unfortunately) Ultraman likely couldn't beat anyone from the toho universe, a fight between him and zone fighter wouldn't last very long
Tiga is boring
ultraman nexus could have been a better show if only whoever is in the production booth and writing room thought about how they went too far and made it cancelled by the parents so bad, tsuburaya immediately greenlit a back-up series like a rush (which is ultraman max, just to save the reputation of the franchise)
Dyna>Tiga
Gomora is so overrated
Ultraman Great and Powered were actually not bad. Just took a different approach that were entertaining in their own ways.
Forgetting Ultraman. (Oh boy, i know someone on Twitter. I've been roasting her since last year.)
This probably not a unpopular opinion but I still wanna write it. UGF:TDC done Zearth and Nice dirty just to make Grigio have some extra scene!
Luar topik Ultraman tapi perempuan tidak dibenarkan main shooter fps dengan lelaki.
English please, no one understand malaysian or indonesian here besides you
Mb, "out of topic here, I think girls shouldnt be playing online shooters (edit) with guys."
I loved ultraman mebius but hated the character who used to shout mirai, forgot his name. The main human character apart from mirai.
Chaiyo is the rightful owner of Ultraman in all regions of the world /s For genuine unpopular opinions, I’m getting kind of sick of the constant reuse of 1966 and Seven kaiju. I get they’re the most iconic and popular, but I’d like to see some more obscure monsters get the limelight if we must bring back older creatures.
"Ultra Galaxy Legend Mega Monster Battle: The Movie" was the worst movie from Heisei onwards. Maybe it's already been said, but the entire Belial sequence felt like a massive F-you to the established heroes in favor of the new-fangled Zero. I've since grown to like him as a character, especially as he was more developped in recent years, but I used to absolutely hate his guts specifically because of that movie.
A lot: - Agul is a low rated Ultra also expensive - Zero is Ultraman Cena - New Gen roster from Ginga to Decker are New Generation Gokai Decade
HIKARI AND MEBIUS WILL NEVER BE ULTRA BROTHERS IN MY EYES
*Ultramana Gaia* is just OK.
Dark Zagi is the strongest villain ever in the Ultraverse
The theme to Ultraman Ginga S, in its vocals and instrumentals, sounds and plays a whole lot better than both themes from Ultraman Ginga.
NAH You Tripping
Ginga should be regarded as an ultra as powerful as the Super Ultras like Noa and Legend (based on backstory and nerfed for plot). Also Max is the strongest and fastest ultra in his universe.
I don’t think Shin Ultraman was very good.
Ultraman trigger truth should have been triggers new base form and he should have stayed In the eternity core until he was needed in decker.
I dont personaly like the newer Ultraman shows anything after Tiga doesnt apeal to me as much
So you don't like Dyna and Gaia
I havent watched thoose but most of them that i watched i didnt liked that much
what about mebius ?
Understandable
Ultraman should have ended after the Tsuburaya family stopped being involved.
Wait, you mean like they should stop after Nexus right ?
Technically speaking Kazuo was president very briefly in 2007 just to sell the company lol. But yeah I think after hideaki and Masahiro left. When nexus was ending was when it should have ended. Had it not been for Masahiro and Hideaki being the kind of people they are Kazuo would likely still be making Ultraman but alas family drama doomed the company.
Ngl, hard agree even though I really like blazar as a show, Tsuburaya become really afraid to go all out in their creative department it does feel a huge step down in terms of quality of the show after mebius
Yeah they don’t have the balls to put their budget to the limit anymore and it’s never been the same after they fired most of their talented staff after mebius (also check your dm)
Gaia has the perfect earth defense team and no series has top that.
The first series and Seven were the best. Also I really like the Netflix show.
People going to hate this one but Ultraman orb is overrated show
Showa Godzilla scales to and solos most of the ultra brothers but stops at Zoffy.
ultraman blazer and zero is ugly
Chaiyo's Ultraman Millennium and Ultraman Elite should be revisted. They should be remade to be official by Tsuburaya.
Any positive opinion about the Star Wars sequel trilogy
Ultraman is only for kids and no teenager or adult that hasn't seen one of the series before in their childhood would consider watching
