WEBVTT 00:00:00.540 --> 00:00:03.100 So I just finished Episode 9 of Omega, which 00:00:03.100 --> 00:00:08.460 is called... Let me see... The Kanakari Kaiju 00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:11.240 Park. And I don't even know if it's worth talking 00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:14.060 about. I think I'm going to stop myself at three 00:00:14.060 --> 00:00:15.500 minutes, even if I haven't finished saying what 00:00:15.500 --> 00:00:17.820 I have to say or want to say, because it just 00:00:17.820 --> 00:00:21.100 feels like a waste of time. And I feel like my 00:00:21.100 --> 00:00:22.699 time was wasted watching it, and my time was 00:00:22.699 --> 00:00:26.120 wasted in trying to analyze it, and it's possible 00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:27.579 that you're wasting your time in trying to... 00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:29.300 Learn more about it if you clicked on this review 00:00:29.300 --> 00:00:32.280 because it just... The show's not taking itself 00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:34.780 seriously. It's not taking the premise seriously. 00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:37.679 And I feel like it's incredibly disrespectful 00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:43.340 to the audience and to... I mean, if Ultraman 00:00:43.340 --> 00:00:47.000 is made for children, children should be given 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:50.100 good stories, not bad stories. And I think that's 00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:51.079 exactly what's happening here. We're getting 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:54.539 bad stories. The direction was competent, but 00:00:54.539 --> 00:00:58.060 this... Norikatsu Kodama is the one who wrote 00:00:58.060 --> 00:01:00.759 the episode. I don't know that he was in the... 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:06.000 He's not... I looked at... I am... He wrote seven 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.920 episodes of Garo, Heir to Steel Armor. Is that 00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:10.879 an anime? Or is that a show? Or a live action? 00:01:10.900 --> 00:01:12.560 I don't know. And then Omega, this one episode, 00:01:12.620 --> 00:01:15.420 I believe. And then Tiger and Bunny. In 2011, 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:20.900 he wrote some episodes. Three episodes. He's 00:01:20.900 --> 00:01:23.079 like an actor, though, too, with this Queen Bee 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:27.030 talent agency. And I don't know, I'm not familiar 00:01:27.030 --> 00:01:33.129 with him. I wish him well, but just, I don't 00:01:33.129 --> 00:01:35.030 understand how you can write this. I don't understand 00:01:35.030 --> 00:01:37.409 how Omega, how this could be approved for Omega, 00:01:37.590 --> 00:01:40.069 because it doesn't make any sense. It totally 00:01:40.069 --> 00:01:42.250 violates the promise that we were given of the 00:01:42.250 --> 00:01:45.609 show, which I have here on Earth where neither. 00:01:46.569 --> 00:01:48.849 On an earth where neither heroes nor kaiju exists, 00:01:48.969 --> 00:01:50.989 an alien suddenly falls from the sky. This ultra 00:01:50.989 --> 00:01:53.269 symbol is the red space boomerang he holds, the 00:01:53.269 --> 00:01:57.170 Omega Slugger, and his name means ultimate. Okay? 00:01:58.769 --> 00:02:02.370 We were promised that. A world without kaiju, 00:02:02.409 --> 00:02:06.549 you know, we'd get to see it. We'd get to see 00:02:06.549 --> 00:02:08.689 it as it reacts to kaiju and how that changes 00:02:08.689 --> 00:02:13.800 things. And, uh... That's not what we're getting. 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.379 We're getting something else. I don't know why 00:02:16.379 --> 00:02:17.580 we're getting it. I don't know what we're getting. 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.400 And I've complained about Omega's bad episodes 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.580 before because they're just not consistently 00:02:24.580 --> 00:02:28.439 good. I don't know why that is. I don't know 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.060 why the show doesn't take its own premise seriously. 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.159 And if it's because it's for kids, well, kids 00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:33.580 deserve more respect than that. They deserve 00:02:33.580 --> 00:02:37.159 better episodes, better shows, better things 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.099 given to them. And Ultraman's a prestige thing. 00:02:39.259 --> 00:02:42.050 I know it's for kids. But it's one of the best 00:02:42.050 --> 00:02:45.949 things for kids. And Blazar and Ark and Zet have 00:02:45.949 --> 00:02:48.270 all had much better episodes, more meaning, more 00:02:48.270 --> 00:02:49.789 depth. They're all internally consistent with 00:02:49.789 --> 00:02:52.770 themselves. And they don't just serve up garbage 00:02:52.770 --> 00:02:56.009 to kids and say, here, enjoy the slop. And I 00:02:56.009 --> 00:02:58.270 don't understand why they're doing this. Anyway, 00:02:58.389 --> 00:03:00.750 it's three minutes. I'm out of time. I may or 00:03:00.750 --> 00:03:03.590 may not do shorts. I'm traveling. I've got a 00:03:03.590 --> 00:03:05.530 lot going on. And it's just, I'm not even sure 00:03:05.530 --> 00:03:08.530 this is worthy of. I can't remember if my last 00:03:08.530 --> 00:03:10.389 episode I actually defended filler or not, or 00:03:10.389 --> 00:03:12.169 if I just thought, there is some filler that's 00:03:12.169 --> 00:03:14.469 defendable. This is not defendable filler. This 00:03:14.469 --> 00:03:20.389 is just garbage. It's empty. And I'm just going 00:03:20.389 --> 00:03:22.009 to let it go and not give it any more attention 00:03:22.009 --> 00:03:24.530 or thought. Until next time, folks, take care. 00:03:24.590 --> 00:03:30.490 This is MJ with Going Ultra and Henson Inspection. 00:03:30.789 --> 00:03:36.439 And I, please, please. Check the pinned comment. 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:40.379 I'm going to put links to good episodes of Ultraman 00:03:40.379 --> 00:03:42.300 that I reviewed and analyzed because they're 00:03:42.300 --> 00:03:44.860 worth talking about and they'll be way more worth 00:03:44.860 --> 00:03:46.979 your while. And I might even just put links to 00:03:46.979 --> 00:03:49.659 good episodes in the description as well or in 00:03:49.659 --> 00:03:51.099 the pinned comment. It'll all be in the pinned 00:03:51.099 --> 00:03:53.879 comment because this is just, it's garbage. And 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:57.539 I feel like an apology is owed to the children 00:03:57.539 --> 00:04:00.020 of Japan and the children of the whole world 00:04:00.020 --> 00:04:04.050 for serving this. Let me know what you think. 00:04:04.090 --> 00:04:07.389 Am I crazy or am I dead on? I think I'm dead 00:04:07.389 --> 00:04:07.569 on.
