>>116909753the earlier ultra series with their practical effect were pretty heavy-handed with both the theme and the violence
remember that episode where some dude got left behind and forgotten during the russian american space race and came back to earth because he mutated into a kaiju and the earth defense force or whatever were told about the background story and ordered to dispose of him as some generic kaiju, then he showed up and was gonna fuck up a peace conference between nations because he saw it as utterly hypocritical and the OG ultraman showed up and water-spray him to death because his weakness is water as his biology morphed to adapt to the absence of water in space, and then he wailed in mud along with the countries flags, the only thing that he managed to knock down, scattered around him as he passed away, and the earth defense team enact a tomb for him and left while the MC stayed behind as the conference attendees walked past him with the show panning to his obscured by the bright sun behind him?
