New Netflix Ultrman movie is coming out soon. Seems to be part of that western push for the character mentioned earlier in the thread. Not even a big fan of the series and I can tell this is the modern equivalent of Godzilla 1998.

>>40095 Kinda. It looks like Ultraman but has none of the soul. This is a humans bad story with a very generic family animated movie for general audiences tone. It doesn't feel like something that's actually meant to appeal to adult Ultraman fans like Shin Ultraman or young boys who are the primary audience for Ultraman as a franchise. It's a shallow sanitized Americanization of the idea into a generic sloppy mess.

>>40098 The MC himself encapsulates this.

>>40112 Yep. There's nothing wrong with an immature MC who has to grow up but he treats Ultraman like a laid back job instead of a responsibility to save lives. Maybe he'll grow more in the movie but I doubt it'll be enough.

Watched Ultraman Rising. It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Kenji does grow as a person though it's mostly done in montage. There is a lot of background references to Ultraman kaiju & aliens. It's action is well done. The villain is actually sympathetic in his motivations. But it's still not good. It is indeed just an american animated comedy made for the wider audience that will only really appeal to young kids & moms. Boys won't get enough action out of it to keep their attention & older Ultraman fans will feel like it isn't Ultraman enough.

>>40218 >It is indeed just an american animated comedy made for the wider audience that will only really appeal to young kids & moms. Hey, want to know what was my favorite movie to watch as a child? Fucking Dragonheart! And I still consider it my favorite movie to this day. Want to know what my second most favorite movie as a kid was? Peter Pan! Third? Pete's Dragon! Other favorites? The Land Before Time, An American Tail, Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, The Black Cauldron, Armageddon, Star Wars, Titan A.E., Tarzan, The Road to El Dorado, Melody Time, even Mulan... I could go on. Let's actually look at what's common about these films. Their main premise is either: >Good VS Evil Or... >Let's go on an advanture What does this Ultraman film have that would draw a small child who's looking for either of those? It just seems like it's "Adventures in Superhero Babysitting".

>>40219 No you don't understand. There's aren't wider audience movies. Those are movies for kids at the time & Dragongheart is just a fantasy movie. Kids can still watch it but it wasn't made for the mass appeal wider audience. When you hear that phrase, that means movies like something from Illumination or bad modern Disney movies.

>>40220 >When you hear that phrase, that means movies like something from Illumination or bad modern Disney movies. The funny thing is that of the films I have seen in Illumination's catalog (As of 2016), their "best" films were Sing and The Lorax. The former being considered their "black sheep" by almost everyone, and the latter practically forgotten.

>>40221 Sing is okay. It's just a jukebox musical. The Lorax isn't so much forgotten as infamous for a lot of reasons. Their Grinch movie is nearly the same sort of problem with missing the point of the original story.

Shocked that the Power Rangers comics are still going when Hasbro fumbled every other aspect of the franchise.

>>43142 Well they've literally auctioned off all the suits & props they had so don't get your hopes up for a future. Any comics, if they invest in them, will probably be another reboot.

idw is just farming out godzilla for any crossover they can get

speaking of godzilla crossovers, here's one i would have been hyped for as a kid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyjDr-v8Fhs

>>1456 Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz in Talks to Write, Produce and Showrun Live-Action ‘Power Rangers’ Series at Disney+ https://archive.fo/1pW3K >“Percy Jackson and the Olympians” showrunners Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz are in talks to write, showrun and produce a live-action “Power Rangers” series for Disney+ and 20th Century TV, TheWrap has exclusively learned. >Steinberg and is currently the co-creator, executive producer and showrunner of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” for Disney+, along with his producing partner Shotz. It just wrapped its second season and has been renewed for a third. Other credits include the critically acclaimed series “The Old Man,” starring Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow for FX. Both series are produced by 20th Television/The Walt Disney Company, where Steinberg and Shotz have housed their production company, Quaker Moving Pictures, since 2019.

>>44266 wasn't the percy jackson show really bad? >>43155

>>44274 It is. Because the cast doesn't look anything like how Riordan described the characters.

>>44296 Man, Percy Jackson is cursed, between this and the movie so bad Riordan told people to not watch it. But the same thing could be said of all the YA books that got picked up in the "We want our own Harry Potter" wave. Just look at Eregon, they took something as simple as Fantasy Star Wars with dragons and still fucked it up.

>>44301 What's worse is Riordan approved it after getting a hefty check from Disney. They blacked the Spiderwick Chronicles adaptation on Disney+ too but it was completely buried in comparison.

Hear me out, what if Batman was a shitty sentai clone?

>>44746 ENOUGH WITH THE FUCKING BAT!!! Give us something new

>>44746 Dan Mora has not improved on his sentai inspired designs. Too busy. Whereas he's best at simplistic comic suits.

>>44266 I was called crazy when I first said they'd crawl back to Disney

>>1502 It makes use of special effects such as chroma keying on the regular.

I'm having a nice time with the Godzilla vs Marvel books It's neat that they're set in different times so far Fantastic Four is in the mid-late 60s and vs Hulk is in the late 70s They're giving hints that the series might be building to something, but who know Vs Spider-Man comes out next week, it appears to be black suit Spidey so it may be set in the 80s Mothra Queen of the Monsters is nice enough, if a bit rapidly paced. The premise of the story is enough to please, but Matt Frank drawing monsters is a plus Godzilla Heist is alright, a bit too tryhard. Every character has to be overlysnarky or try to be the toughest member of the group

>>49389 That Godzilla on that first cover is definitely traced.

>>9441 Anyone knows what the movement they're doing is called?

should we have a kaijune here on 8chan?

>>52028 A what?

>>52049 artists do a kaiju drawing a day, non artists watch kaiju content a day and discuss it. I was reading that is apparently a thing

>>52128 >le morphin grid sigh i actually liked Once and Always, sadly, so i'll give it a go.

Hasbro's complete mishandling of Power Rangers is incredible.

can't find a single vid of the mega voyager or any of the space minipla flexing their knees. Are they really selling this piece of shit?

>>52343 Unless its mppr hasbro doesn’t care.

>>52345 not hasbro but bandai, which is arguably worse. I wouldn't mind paying 10 bucks for them but they expect me to pay 200 bucks each. Screw them.
