    Except for the return to the more child friendly formula, this is one of the best Gamera movies. Gaos is an interesting Kaiju design. The plot moves fairly fast and is fairly action packed. Gaos does actually reappear in a later film, Gamera vs Guirion. It's interesting to see the strength difference in Guirion and Gaos

    Aside from Cate, May, and Ken. I thought the show was pretty good. It's interesting to see the backstory of Monarch. Godzilla was cool, too. Didn't like the main trio. Thought they were too whiny. May and Cate, in particular, they just treated everyone like assholes. Liked the other characters, though.

    I thought it was neat to see Godzilla before the Castle Bravo explosion, especially since we only saw snippets of him in the beginning of G 2014. I will agree on May and Cate. Reminded me a bit of Aaron Johnson's role in 2014.

    Nah, the Bandai America MG is pretty on-point to how Godzilla and MechaGodzilla scaled in 1974. They were both 50 meters in the movie, and there are even plenty of shots that show G and MG standing at equal height. It was in _Terror of MechaGodzilla_ where the MG suit was beefed up in size to be taller than Godzilla, even tho, again, canonically, MechaGodzilla 2 is still 50 meters in height. Good review nonetheless, tho.

    As a new comer to Ultraman, I freaking love it. To me personally Shin Godzilla is a Godzilla masterpiece. This Shin Ultraman has made me a fan now. I don’t know if I’ll watch other Ultraman but I’m excited for Shin Ultraman universe. Now the wait for my most anticipated film of 2023, Shin Kamen Rider. I didn’t mind the cgi, loved every bit of it. Some people say they copied scenes from the early shows but to me as a new comer it was nice to see. You just can’t cater to old fans, you have to think about new comers too and that’s why Hideaki Anno and Shinji are perfect for this Shin universe.

    Classic Ultraman is serious in sense, but due to it's target audience is kids to adult, the tone is much more lighter. Shin Ultraman kept the joke, but delivered the message effectively. Shin Ultraman is the definition how classic to modern adaptation done right. While they omitted the first monster that Ultraman fought, but the electric kaiju scene is much more memorable.
