Feature Shows Extravaganza

Is Ultraman omnipotent?

No! Ultraman, like humans, has things he can't do. Just like on Earth, people die every moment because of monsters. Ultraman's power is limited and there is no way to save everyone!

Taylor, cheer up!

In his sleep, Tao Dalang woke up instantly due to Ultra's mother's advice. He covered his face in pain, his mind filled with memories of yesterday.

Just yesterday, the Balkis suddenly appeared in Jiangchuan City, wreaking havoc and promoting aggressive remarks.

Tao Dalang transformed and fought with him. Unexpectedly, the Balki star was very cunning and fled immediately after falling into a disadvantage.

When Tao Dalang returned to the human body, he learned from the captain that when the Balkis appeared, another whale shark monster attacked the freighter at sea. Many people died, including Kenichi's father.

This caused him great pain.

Kenichi asked Taro why he didn't save his father, and the Balki aliens escaped. The two things combined made Tao Dalang rethink the significance of Ultraman to mankind.

The captain's words woke him up.

When I was very young, I met Ultraman and Seven. My father told me that Ultraman helps humans. This is the kindness of the strong to the weak, and it is not an obligation.

The earth is our home, and protecting it is our responsibility, not Ultraman's responsibility...

Mom, I understand.

Ultraman's power is limited...so, I won't be Ultraman anymore!

Tao Dalang realized that mankind, as an independent civilization, was not a vassal of Ultraman. Without relying on the strength of others, humans can protect the earth on their own.

Just in time, the monster that attacked the freighter appeared again. After Taylor went to battle and eliminated him, Tao Dalang took off the Ultra badge on the beach by the sea and solemnly returned it to the Mother of Ultra.

Everything is back to square one.

Tao Dalang lost his ability to transform, and he didn't want to use Taylor's power. Relying on human intelligence and instinct, he lured the Balki alien to the fuel warehouse and finally burned him to death with fire.

At the end of the story, Tao Dalang left the Seth team. Enter the sacred lecture hall and use the combat experience of the Seth team to explain to the students the weaknesses of space monsters and how to deal with them...

Did Taylor disappear?

Seeing this ending, many children panicked. Tao Dalang's return of the badge was also interpreted as Taylor's disappearance.

Not really!

After the finale aired, Li Wanbo, who was frequently harassed by the audience, posted a chat record between him and Mr. Meng.

In this chat record, Li Wanbo also asked similar questions. That was Taylor's action of returning the badge. Does it have any special meaning?

What's the meaning...

This scene is just to deepen the theme. Don't just make up the settings casually. Taylor is fine, and Tao Dalang is fine too.

Then can Tao Dalang still transform?

He is Taylor, and Taylor is him. The two are of the same mind, and returning the badge does not mean they are separated...

Meng Lang really convinced the audience.

Obviously the relevant settings have been explained in the first episode, why are you still talking about badges? Do you think that Taylor is Severn and his head/glasses are his real body?

The Ultra Badge is just a tool.

Not to mention the PD version, even in the original version, Tsuburaya never separated Taro and Kotaro. The reason why the human body is absent is because of the actors. How can we blame the setting?

If you don’t believe me, watch the first two episodes.

In the first two episodes, Kotaro first became Taro, and then received the badge given by Omu. Remember this order, become Taylor first and then get the badge!

This kind of thing cannot be explained clearly.

Meng Lang didn't bother to explain, so he asked Tao Zhao to guest star a few more times, so that everyone would get used to it and stop thinking wildly.

Taylor ended well.

At the beginning of the production of the Ultraman series, Meng Lang edited the TV series and the DVD collector's edition separately in order to soften Showa's brooding style. The TV version is more soothing, and the DVD cut has more depth.

This is an old PD tradition.

But Taylor did not follow tradition. The DVD collector's edition has the same content as the TV version.

Sir, times have changed!

The first batch of Showa works, that is, the first generation Saimon period. The plot is too obscure and full of metaphors and ironies. There is more room for manipulation during post-editing.

Then it changed!

Starting from Jack Ace, Ultraman's path becomes increasingly clear. The DVD cut version of the past has no meaning in existence.

Taylor was a turning point!

Starting with Taylor, PD gave up the video disc market. Put this energy into the Internet market with greater potential.

For example, in the Taylor section of Big Bird Video, filming behind-the-scenes or interesting little theaters are constantly updated.

The DVD market is shrinking. In the first two years, I could still make some money. Now except for collections, CDs are getting harder and harder to sell.

Meng Lang sighed: Starting from Taylor, we will no longer add special edited versions to the DVD. Contents such as behind-the-scenes footage and small theater will be put online.

Times are changing, and so is PD.

In the past, Ultraman works, after the TV series was completed, relied on the release of DVD discs to gain subsequent profits.

It’s different now!

After Taro's finale went online, Big Bird Video's original members first model was quietly transformed into a members only model.

The first time you have sex for free, the second time or even the third time you watch it, you need to pay a membership fee.

In addition to the above measures, the completion of Taylor also means the start of the second round of replays. There are even many overseas TV stations that spend heavily to introduce Taylor TV series.

The introduction of Ultraman is simple.

After all, it has a solid foundation laid by the first generation of Severn. Most of the well-known foreign TV stations have bought a copy.

TBS is no exception.

They bought Taylor's exclusive broadcast rights to Neon and decided to air it in May this year. At that time, Ace had just finished.

Speaking of which, TBS is pretty miserable.

Ace switched to weekly broadcasting and originally wanted to fight against Amazon and Stronger, but in the end no one won.

In this week's episode of Kamen Rider Strongman, a new villain organization was announced - the Dilza Legion. This organization originated from Black Satan, and the shape of the Mechanical Man and the leather case are in the same vein.

But cadres are more classy!

A shadow general who wears a white bodysuit and likes playing cards. With a pair of buffalo horns on his head, he looks like the Iron Staff Officer of LOL Super Soldier. Dr. Kate, who wears a black robe and has a cockscomb flower. Holding a huge scythe, the skeleton major is known as the legion's think tank...

It has to be said that among the many villain organizations of the Showa Knights, the appearance of the cadres of the Dilza Legion is already quite classy.

Among other villain organizations, the design of the cadre leaders is simply difficult to describe...

They wrapped their bodies in a piece of cloth, painted some camouflage on their faces, and called on three or five weak combatants to shout defeat Kamen Rider all day long. I really don't know who gave them the courage.

Amazon's Ten Faced Ghost is pretty good, although it doesn't look good in the TV series, but that's because Toei is reluctant to spend money. If you make a big pumpkin and put some paint on the actor's face, the effect will definitely not be good.

If Toei works hard, Ten-Faced Ghost will definitely become the scariest villain in Showa Knights!
