00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,960
Engine inspection presents going ultra. This is MJ. I'm an author. I'm an artist. I'm an analyzer

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,280
Join me as I talk about Ultra Reimblazer episode 19 light and flame

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:17,600
So I gotta be honest I did not like this episode I was disappointed by how things went down

4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,440
I don't understand what's going on. It feels like the story was very thin here and

5
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:29,560
it feels like this episode was mostly just an excuse to sell more toys and choose more toys and

6
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,800
make them appealing to us and I

7
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:35,880
Wasn't I wasn't appealed to it didn't work on me

8
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,560
I don't know if it's because they didn't do a good job portraying the toys or if it's because the upgrades

9
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,040
Didn't feel earned at all and it really didn't make sense. So

10
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,520
Anyway, I'd like to know what you thought about it as well

11
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,640
but I'll continue sharing because I'm I did make some notes, but uh, I don't know I'd be like I

12
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,080
felt hollow like watching this like like oh, this is like

13
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,800
Honestly, one of my one of my thoughts was like, oh, this is like one of the dumb things they do in Commerator

14
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,160
that's just like disappointing and meaningless and

15
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,520
It's not compelling at all. So yeah, so ultra means doing that now

16
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,200
I guess

17
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:17,360
and I like I want to know why this happened because it doesn't make any sense to me that would and I find it very strange

18
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,720
but I

19
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,340
Don't know maybe side you clear will have you know

20
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:27,880
He'll pull some research or ask somebody on the discord or I don't know do something and give me some information about this because

21
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:33,760
It's just kind of heartbreaking to me that like this show was so cool and then stuff happens. So anyway

22
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,920
Here we go. Let me let me find my notes. So

23
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:44,120
You know something kind of intriguing for the for the story and that could make it interesting and I

24
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,440
Don't know somewhat worthwhile or something that was like a something that was good in this episode

25
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:54,420
Well, we got to see me go to lab 66 and we learned what V 99 means, which is great

26
00:01:54,420 --> 00:01:59,880
you know, they're these aliens who came to earth in 1999, which is the same year she was born and

27
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:07,100
That kind of makes me wonder she's a super genius and she graduated high school or college like Harvard

28
00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:11,040
I know she graduated MIT you think is a genius student

29
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,100
Which means she knows English as well like 100% perfectly

30
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,440
Somewhere close to that much better than I know Japanese

31
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,520
When she was a kid when she was like a like a young teen or something. So she's super

32
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,160
Intelligent she's a very capable fighter

33
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,640
There's these different things about her that are you know exceptional and I wonder what exactly that means

34
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:34,800
I'm wondering does that mean she's an alien and is that significant?

35
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,360
And her dad and an alien lady

36
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,760
Got together. I guess I didn't think about that implication, but she could have just been like left

37
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,340
It's like oh here is a you know, here's a one of our spawn

38
00:02:46,340 --> 00:02:49,960
You may raise them as your own and we'll come back to her and you know

39
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,720
Collect her or you know have her interact with us or whatever

40
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,560
It could be something interesting actually kind of like can go from for Z if you think about it the way that worked

41
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,120
Anyway, I guess spoilers for for Z. Sorry

42
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:07,200
Also, like did we get the ghost kaiju episode the other day or previously so that we could get

43
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,520
Ghost dad showing up here and it would like feel justified or feel like it makes sense in the universe

44
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:17,840
I don't know that we needed that it doesn't really make sense to me that you would do it for that purpose only

45
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:25,120
I'm not saying it is explicitly for that purpose only but it just kind of made me think like oh ghost kaiju ghost dad and

46
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,040
I

47
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,040
Don't know how I feel about that like you don't need it

48
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,400
It's took us out to his Ultraman I don't know that you need just to justify that also

49
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,800
It could have been like a sciencey thing or he could have like just died there in front of her

50
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:44,280
Because you know he had to like he was at his physical limit or whatever. He was just died because he was dying

51
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,960
That would have been okay, too

52
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,520
Or it could have had I don't know just stick to it some other thing

53
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,760
But I didn't like hate that just I'm wondering if that's why we had ghost kaiju and

54
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,640
Well, I liked that episode. I was on guilt. It just kind of did come out of nowhere

55
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,360
So I'm wondering was that done for this reason because they know about these things while they're producing the show

56
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,440
It tips that they know we know they break the story and they know where they're gonna put things more or less

57
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,840
Anyway, so that's kind of interesting. I assume that's how they do it

58
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,040
I don't know I've never been involved in that Japanese production or seen much behind the scenes

59
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,800
Behind the scenes information about how they put these things together

60
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,400
So that's that's specifically from the generic TV, but also I've seen stuff from like the Clone Wars

61
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:31,320
They're not rebels just Clone Wars looks for me talking with other writers about how they're gonna plan those out some

62
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,040
anyway

63
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,000
The

64
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,600
Tilsenite sword being there and it being mentioned. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no quick

65
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,680
So the random firebird is weird like I guess it came through the dimensional rift

66
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,640
so it hasn't been waiting in that facility all this time, but like

67
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,440
Why does a door that needs to be opened we've seen like the blazar stone

68
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:57,160
Busts through a locker and it's like a little stone that probably weighs

69
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,840
Maybe two ounces or something like that this firebird has to have a lot more mass to it than that

70
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:05,440
I would think and it would just be able to break through the door like no problem and just go to blazar

71
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,760
So I got some kind of weird like why do they actually need to open the door for that to get through?

72
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,760
It doesn't really make sense. Like I said

73
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,560
and then

74
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,960
Like it's his pet or companion or whatever. I guess

75
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:24,280
And like I guess because blazar doesn't talk really to to get into like we're never gonna find out the truth about that

76
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:27,520
And

77
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,760
We just have to reappear with that as an audience being in the dark

78
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,000
But it just it feels weird and phony and like oh, yeah

79
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,920
We just made this up last minute and we put blue lines on it

80
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,720
Like blazar has on them to make it look like they belong together even though they're they're really done

81
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,720
This is something we kept up in the last minute. Let's give them a toy because that'll make the show better

82
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,720
Or you know toy sales better. I don't know

83
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,460
or you know toy sales better, I don't know weird and then

84
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,840
The tilts night blade, you know, they just happen to make a new tilts night spear when this one's about to be destroyed

85
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,280
It doesn't make sense if they deployed with it before and then and earth brun was using a tilts night

86
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,620
Rod or spear or sword or whatever for a while and then

87
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:11,040
They needed well, and then blazar broke that would be a lot better timing a lot better pacing for that

88
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,920
But it just it wasn't and they just wanted to give this new ability

89
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:19,360
Like they do need a break in order for him to be able to fuse the firebird thing with it in the first place

90
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,080
So that doesn't really make any sense at all

91
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,360
I could have just been something that amplified and added to it

92
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:28,520
But that's not what they did for some strange reason it just feels contrived and I don't know like I said empty and hollow

93
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:37,080
So, I don't know what happened and like will that golden cocoon thing ever be explained because

94
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:43,200
He sure seems to get like random one-off powers and I don't care that some extent

95
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,000
but um

96
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
It really doesn't make sense that

97
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,520
That thing that plot for it's just been like hanging well

98
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,240
This is gonna come back in like the last two episodes or whatever he can blazar can make a golden cocoon

99
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:01,560
Sort of around something. This is the kaiju mom or yeah, kaiju mom like episode 11 or whatever

100
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,960
Or dad, could be the dad

101
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,440
and

102
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:13,000
The ones that he went rogue on and and didn't want to kill him and somehow I guess didn't kill

103
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,160
but I think I don't know it's very confusing and

104
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,520
That never made sense and I thought that was gonna need explaining

105
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,160
I like how it was contextualized later in the following episode

106
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:27,360
I think this one following episode but it still is lacking and it's still an open thread

107
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,320
That doesn't make sense and that's frustrating. So the show sort of really great and then we have weird

108
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,200
things like plot with plot threads being dropped in a weird

109
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,080
Traces being made and stuff that feels empty and it's just it's disappointing because

110
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,080
It's gonna be one of the greats

111
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,880
But it's being diminished by something I can't quite tell what it is

112
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,440
So anyways, let me know what you thought about the episode because I let you know how I thought I let you know

113
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,120
Yeah, you know how I feel about it. I want to hear how you feel about it

114
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,200
So anyway, drop me a comment until next time. Take care. Do well be ultra
