Monsters and You

[ridureyu]

Ultraman has, in some form or another, been on the air almost continously for nearly forty years. Each episode has its own giant rubber-suited monster, and when you think about it that's pretty impressive. Sure, sometimes they took shortcuts (one monster was obviously a godzilla costume spray-painted gold with a frill around its neck), but my hat

You rock. I must admit, I am unaware of this Ultraman that you speak of, but this post cracked me up.

If not for Ultraman, there would be no Kamen Rider, Power Rangers, or pretty much anything Kaiju outside of Godzilla and Gamera.

HA!

Now that you mention it, I totally see the Power Rangers monsters as descendants of these monsters. Now those were some bad, b-movie quality (and thus, great) monsters!

Good to know what inspired them :)

If you really wnat to h ave fun, look up "Jiras" from the first Ultraman series.

Tell me if you recognize the costume!

BAHAHAHA! Okay, this is going into my memories. XD

I like the yellow daisy. Nice contrast with the orange hide.

The chicken critter reminds me of a monster from an M. Night movie. Either The Village or Lady in the Water; perhaps a blend of them.
