Is Leo Ultraman really that wonderful? How does it compare to the G&D Ultraman?
Every time we talk about showa ultraman, the king of Leo fighting is not false.
However, because in the episode Facing the Otter Brothers, the flying kick was dodged by Ace, and it became that Ace did not dare to pick it up head-on, otherwise he would be kicked to death like a monster.
At this point, Leo has been overestimated a lot.
Personally, I think that Ace and Leo are nothing more than a light king, a fighting king, a mage, and a warrior.
Leo Ultraman was an Ultraman film that had a very poor response at the time, and believed that it was because the style change was very abrupt and sudden, so the audience could not accept it.
I have always been very encouraging and pursuing such a bold attempt by artists, so I immediately supported it.
However, after watching it, my feeling is not as good and amazing as I thought. Although many of the plot settings, such as the re-extinction of the MAC team, the destruction of Leo's hometown, and the most important demonic training of the earth regiment, are very innovative, the script does not have the ability to bring this novelty into play.
I like Feng Yuan's cheerful smile and his hard work and persistence, which is the biggest highlight of the whole drama in my opinion.
I felt his love for the planet, and I saw the effort he put into training.
But on the other hand, Leo also ruined a character in my Ultraman series that I like very much and look forward to very much, that is, the star clusters.
In "Ultraman Severn", the reflections of the star clusters resonate strongly with me, and the memories of the final group and Annu's parting always make me sad.
But such clusters of stars in Leo have become tainted, selfish, and even have strong xenophobia, and alien creatures should be killed, and some unjust cases have been caused for this.
Even for the sake of Earth can sacrifice the Otter Star, and say the absurd reason that "I am not Ultraman".
According to the setting, the clusters themselves are Seven Ultraman, rather than dependent on humans. The biggest problem with this drama, I think, is not because the adaptation is too abrupt and the audience positioning is wrong.
My feeling that the audience positioning is too unclear.
First of all, there are a large number of dark plots that are not suitable for children, such as the re-extinction of the MAC, the mass death of the team members, and even in the later stages, important characters such as Yakuko Yamaguchi and Kaoru Umeda were killed.
However, it is also in the middle and late stages, but there are many adaptations of Japanese fairy tales, such as the plot of one inch mage, Momotaro and so on.
And the plot is mostly very funny or even a little childish, these are clearly for children to see, right?
Also, the departure of such an impressive character as Yamaguchi Hyakiko Umeda Kanomura, even I was sad for a long time by spoilers, but the plot is that one minute Umeda and Kazegen are still sad, and the next minute they are laughing at Miyama's house and starting a new life.
This plot changes too quickly, right?
The ending is actually a group of children who reach Blake's instructions, and the indiscriminate feeling reminds me of *river crab*!
Back to the point, what exactly is audience positioning? child? juvenile? youth? It's all specious, and such a plot is called a strange thing if it can always catch the audience. In addition to the protagonist, the character is also less than satisfactory, and Umeda makes the same mistakes again and again in the later stages, which is really tired.
Throughout the play, Umeda's plot of attracting monsters, killing people, and dragging Fengyuan because of his own willfulness/negligence is too much, so shaping the character can only be said to be clumsy.
Compared with G&D Ultraman, Leo Ultraman, although superior, did not cater well to the market, so Leo caused a large-scale shrinkage of the Round Valley.
