I am genuinely curious what you asked/said

Also here's what I'll say for Ultraman Gaia. I love the action, I love the suits, I love the monsters, I think Blitz Blots is one of the best Tokusatsu villains period from design to presence to impact, I love the true villain, I love the physicality of the whole thing, I love the effects, I love the choreography, and I love the concept



gently caress Gaia. Gaia broke my heart.

Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero, according to Ultra wiki.

Here's the actual video proof:

And yes, it is a super dumb way for the producers to kill off a monster by throwing its suit off a cliff a kaiju to die.

Out of curiosity, I read a little of Ninninger's summary on TV Tropes, and... okay, yeah, I can see why people wouldn't like it. Takaharu sound like a very bad Red (hot-headed, dumb, AND has a catchphrase?), but... the bit on Fuuka says that she has very little patience for his stupidity? Doesn't that mean that she calls him out on him being a moron? Shouldn't that mitigate it?

Who uses TV Tropes to look up info on a sentai rather than just reading the Power Rangers/Super Sentai wiki? or even just regular Wikipedia? Bizarre.

If they do, they have to remake the suit. It looked great for what it was, but we can do better than an Ex-Aid kitbash with Zi-O’s belt.

I admit to liking the idea of Quiz, but worry that his gimmick would get old fast.

The gimmick would be one of those things that they'd lean heavily on in the first few episodes, but stop using as the series goes on. The big question is what the upgrades would be and would they all be shaped like punctuation?

Ultraman Taiga movie finally has a release date, August 7th! Due to the pandemic it was put aside indefinitely but now it's a go!

New trailer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvrAClBFHKA

Original trailer with Ultraman Taiga asking kids to do the "three pledges" in order to safely go to the movie during the pandemic to stay safe at the beginning:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViKqGA_5XEg

Edit: the three pledges are a fun throwback in a way. In the 70s there were the "5 Ultra Oaths" that apparently were taught to Ultras in the Land Of Light that were passed on to the kids watching the show:

I will not go to school on an empty stomach
I will go out and play when the weather is good.
I will watch out for cars when watching the street.
I will not rely on others.
I will play and run around barefoot.

Edit 2: I just found out that there is a new set of 5 Ultra Oaths for kids during the pandemic :unsmith:

Do your best to stay at home.
Gargle and rinse your mouth properly.
Keep washing your hands until you sang your favorite song to the end.
Get what exercise you can at home and move your body.
Keep doing what you can and don't give up.

Theatrically. The 3 pledges is for how to go watch the movie safely. (Get plenty of rest and make sure you are healthy, wear a mask, and wash your hands before and after the movie). Normally the movie is released just before the premier of the new series. This movie was really being pushed as a big deal as it was the end of the New Generation Ultras. I'm hoping that Mill Creek puts out Taiga and the movie as a set before the end of the year myself.

Ah, I wasn’t aware theaters were open in Japan currently. Though the state of emergency was lifted recently and pretty much every TV program over there is back on the air now so I guess it makes sense.
