"Ultraman Blazer" has come to an end, so far we can make a general evaluation of this drama.
Personally, I think that this drama can indeed be classified as a file with Taguchi's letter Sanjie XOZ, but the ranking given by the individual is OXZB, if you want to score, the full score is 100 points, about 85 points.
Why did I rank it at the end of Taguchi's four works? The reason is simple, because the other three dramas are a little better than Blazer in terms of completion, plot pacing, and finale.
Of course, I'm not saying that Blazer has no advantages at all, in fact, Blazer's advantages are obvious, that is, there are the most original monsters, the most concise transformation actions, the shortest display time in the small black house, and the highest average level of literary drama.
But its shortcomings are also obvious, that is, there is a problem with the arrangement of the plot, which leads to the more hasty the rhythm of the plot goes to the back, and in the end it can only be hastily finished, giving people a feeling of anticlimactic.
In fact, Blazer's main plot can't hold up 25 words at all, and the story that can be told in an hour has dragged on for 25 words, and it hasn't been explained clearly.
Many people say that 25 words are too short, which leads to the fact that many of Blazer's plots are not developed in detail, resulting in the abrupt appearance of the finale, which actually cannot withstand scrutiny, which is obviously caused by the screenwriter's lack of ability to control the script.
In addition, Blazer is actually flawed in the logic of the plot, for example, only one mecha from Asgaron participates in the battle in each battle, and only two people are involved in the battle at a time, which leads to a bad look and feel at each battle, and there is always a sense of shabby and disobedience that overflows the screen.
Do you think it's very close to reality? Some of the details are really real, such as the sonic boom when Blazer flew away, the combat style of the defense forces, and some communication commands, which can be seen as a professional team.
But there are also some details that are not very real, such as the string people who are the captain in the battle do not need to deliberately find opportunities to transform like the previous human body, the team members will take the initiative to create opportunities for the captain to transform with peace of mind, and even after the captain transformed, the vice captain never contacted the captain, and never found out that the captain was wrong, until the finale, we still don't know if the team members are aware that the captain is Blazer.
In the finale, I thought that Blazer should have been completely hung up, but he came back to life inexplicably, which made the emotional foreshadowing of the previous death-seeming homecoming all wasted.
Then there was an inexplicable wave of idealism, and with the encouragement of his family, the string people glowed with miraculous power and shot the first ray of the whole play, which logically can't stand scrutiny.
Blazer's most real part is mainly focused on the first episode, and the latter may be due to financial problems, but due to the huge difference in the quality of the drama scenes, there will be a strong sense of separation, and even in the last episode, there are some abrupt turns in the editing, and the perception is greatly reduced.
Blazer's drama gives me a bit flat, but his flat is not the same as Dekai's flat, how to say it? Blazer's drama is really good, but the emotional advancement is not strong enough, it belongs to the kind of plot logic is basically reasonable, but it still lacks a little emotional impact, and it doesn't have Zeta's special cool feeling.
Finally, there is a very important question, that is, a simple main line, until the finale, it is still not clear to explain, for Blazer's life experience, director Taguchi also seemed to have made it clear in the interview that he would not explain Blazer's background, and it is as vague as ever, which is a bit disappointing.
Some viewers are also pinning their hopes on the theatrical version to fill in the holes, and in my opinion, the theatrical version is likely to tell a completely new story. Looking at the previous new generation of theatrical versions, can you find one that fills the hole for TV? The theatrical version is a real commercial work, and the gimmick and impact of the play are the focus, and the possibility of filling the pit is very small.
Don't talk about filling in the pits, it's good if the theater version doesn't dig a bigger hole for you, so the plot of Blazer's show basically ends here, unless the next work continues Blazer's world view, maybe there is hope to continue the story of V99.
