Does Ultraman also have a fear of heights? Why Ultraman is afraid of heights is the result of a change in creative concept
By chance, I saw that everyone was discussing a very interesting topic, that is, why does Ultraman have a fear of heights? I believe that the reason why some people will ask this is entirely because of the results of seeing "Aix Ultraman", Round Valley is also groundbreaking to make a human body afraid of height bridge, in fact, it is also a humorous effect, but many friends are very interested in this problem, but also gave a lot of reasons, such as some people say that because the past Ultraman human body itself is a pilot, so of course not afraid of heights, some people say that it is the past Ultraman, many of which are the results of Ultraman's self-transformation into human body, but for me personally This may have a lot to do with the change in creative philosophy.
A close-up hero of the Age of Transformation
Although Japan had close-up heroes such as "Moonlight Kamen" before the birth of Ultraman, in contrast, although these works were also very popular at the time, there was no technical innovation in essence, so after the emergence of the Ultraman series in 1966, Japan was truly a huge close-up hero, after which such high-height close-up heroes as "Kamen Rider" also followed, as well as the "Super Team" series with robots and other elements. But no matter what, the special hero at that time could not be separated from a creative concept, that is, the real transformation hero, what is the transformation hero? The answer is simple: it is just a human or non-human creature that directly transforms from one person into another.
And Ultraman is the same, you don't even have to care what the setting of the human body is, whether it is ultraman's own human body, or Ultraman's power or possessed human body, etc., their principle is to transform from a human to a huge hero, in short, you instantly become a giant of forty meters tall from a person of one meter eight, that is, your whole person is enlarged according to proportions, your body is still controlled by yourself, you may panic because of this change, but you will certainly not be afraid of heights, Because the definition of the so-called fear of heights is actually a person standing on a high place and looking down will feel dizzy, vomiting, losing direction and balance, etc., the root of all this is caused by panic about height, not caused by a person's height.
Because you grow taller, your body is also controlled by the brain, unless there is an external force, otherwise you will not be inexplicably afraid, lose the sense of balance and sense of direction, etc., is a simple giant, even if there is a fear of heights, it is also to face the abyss will be afraid of heights, you will not have any feelings, because no one will stand to see their feet will be afraid of heights, this is the concept of the transformation of the giant hero, simply put, no matter what it becomes, it is still a creature, Instead of you riding on a super giant robot, that's the most important difference.
The Gundam era is coming
Since the beginning of the eighties, there are anime about robots, mecha, games, close-ups, etc., began to become popular, and it was from this time that the creative concept in many works has quietly changed, and the core of the Ultraman series is actually the creature itself, so naturally the core setting will not be changed, but with the passage of time, we can find that there is a change in the form of expression, which has changed greatly since the beginning of "Galaxy Ultraman", for example, after the transformation of the human body, Its internal display is a good example, it can be said that from here, although the setting is still transformed into a hero, in terms of expression, in fact, there is not much difference between it and an ordinary person driving a forty or fifty meters high.
In this case, you can understand why the earth would be afraid of heights when it first became Ax. Because from the point of view, the earth is like suddenly standing in a huge cockpit, and it is also the highest head, but it is also controlled by yourself, but this control, rather than your own fight, is more like a body game closer, just like we play VR is the same truth, even if you need to dance with your own hands, but in real life, you are really fighting with your own strength There is still a big gap, so in my opinion, The reason why there are content and bridges such as the fear of heights in the human body, including the comic of the plot, and gradually detach from the sense of reality is because of the change of the times, the creative concept, and the change of the audience's preferences.
