Chapter 476: Goodbye, Taylor!

"Is Ultraman omnipotent?"

"No! Ultraman, like humans, has things he can't do. Just like on Earth, people die from monsters every moment, Ultraman's power is limited, and there is no way to save everyone!"

"Taylor, cheer up!"

In his sleep, the admonition of the mother of Otter woke Tao Dalang up in an instant. He covered his face in pain, his mind full of memories of yesterday.

Just yesterday, the Balkis suddenly appeared in the city of Gangcheon, wreaking havoc and promoting aggressive rhetoric.

Tao Dalang turned into a battle with him, but the Balki people were very cunning and fled immediately after falling into the disadvantage.

When Tao Dalang turned back into a human body, he learned from the captain that when the Balki Star Man appeared, another whale shark monster attacked the freighter at sea. As a result, many people died, including Kenichi's father.

It was very painful for him.

Kenichi asks Taylor why he didn't save his father and the Balkinian escape, and the two things add up to make Tao Dalang rethink what Ultraman means to humanity.

The captain's words woke him up.

"When I was very young, I met Ultraman and Severn. Dad told me that Ultraman helps humans, which is the kindness of the strong to the weak, not an obligation. ”

"The earth is the home of our human beings, and it is our human duty to protect it, not Ultraman's......"

Mom, I think I get it.

Tao Dalang realized that human beings, as an independent civilization, were not vassals of Ultraman. Without relying on the power of others, human beings can protect the earth on their own.

It just so happened that the monster that attacked the freighter reappeared. After Taylor went to war and eliminated him, on the beach by the sea, Tao Dalang took off the Otter badge and solemnly returned it to Otter's mother.

It's back to square one.

Tao Dalang lost his ability to transform, and he didn't want to use Taylor's power. Using human intelligence instincts, he lured the Balkis to a fuel depot and eventually burned him to death.

At the end of the story, Tao Dalang left Team Seth. Enter the sacred lecture hall and use the combat experience of Team Set to explain to the students the weaknesses of cosmic monsters and how to deal with them......

"Could it be that Taylor is gone?"

Seeing this ending, many children panicked. Tao Dalang's move to return the badge was also interpreted as Taylor's disappearance.

Not really!

After the finale was broadcast, Li Wanbo, who was frequently harassed by the audience, posted a chat record between him and Mr. Meng.

In this chat log, Li Wanbo also asked similar questions. Is there any special meaning to Taylor's move to return the badge?

"What is the meaning ......?"

"This scene is just to deepen the theme, don't just make up the settings casually. Taylor is fine, and Tao Dalang is fine. ”

"Can Tao Dalang still transform?"

"He's Taylor, Taylor is him. The two are one and the same, and returning the badge doesn't mean they're separated......"

Meng Lang really convinced the audience.

Obviously, the relevant settings have been explained in the first episode, why are you still talking about the badge? Do you think that Taylor is Saiwen, and the head dart/glasses is the body?

The ott badge is just a tool.

Not to mention the PD version, even in the original version, Tsuburaya never separated Taylor from Kotaro. The reason why the human body is absent is because of the actors, how can they throw the pot to the setting?

I don't believe you watched the first two episodes.

In the first two episodes, Kotaro becomes Taylor first and then receives the badge given by Okumu. Remember this order, become Taylor first, then get the badge!

I can't explain this kind of thing.

Meng Lang didn't bother to explain, and asked Tao Zhao to make a cameo a few more times, so that everyone wouldn't be cranky when they got used to it.

Taylor ended well.

At the beginning of the production of the Ultraman series, Meng Lang edited the TV drama separately from the DVD collector's version in order to ease the deep style of Showa O. The TV version is more soothing, and the DVD cut version has more depth.

This is an old PD tradition.

But Taylor did not follow the tradition, the DVD Collector's Edition, the content is exactly the same as the TV version.

"My lord, times have changed!"

The first Showa works, that is, the first Saiwen period. The plot is too obscure, and it is full of metaphorical irony. When editing in post, there is more room for manipulation.

And then it changed!

Starting with Jack Ace, Ultraman's route becomes clearer and clearer. The DVD clip version of the past no longer exists.

Taylor was a turning point!

Starting with Taylor, PD abandoned the VCD market. We will invest this part of our energy in the Internet market, which has more potential.

For example, in the Taylor section of Big Bird Video, the shooting highlights or interesting small theater are constantly updated.

"The DVD market is shrinking, and you can still make some money in the first two years. Now, in addition to collectibles, discs are becoming more and more difficult to sell. ”

Meng Lang sighed: "Starting with Taylor, we will no longer add special clip versions to our DVDs. Content such as behind-the-scenes footage, small theater, etc., are all put on the Internet. ”

Times are changing, and so is PD.

After the end of the TV series, the former Ultraman works relied on the release of DVDs to grab follow-up profits.

Now it's different!

After the finale of Taylor was launched, Big Bird Video's original "member first" model quietly changed to a "member exclusive" model.

The first time you watch it, the second time or even the third time, you need to pay a membership fee.

In addition to the above measures, the end of Taylor also represents the start of the second round of replays. Even many overseas TV stations have introduced Taylor TV dramas.

The introduction of Ultraman is simple.

After all, there is a solid foundation laid by the first generation of Saiwen, and foreign TV stations with names and surnames have basically bought a copy.

TBS is no exception.

They bought the exclusive rights to Taylor's neon broadcast and decided to air it in May of this year. At that time, Ace had just finished.

Speaking of which, TBS is also quite miserable.

Ace switched to weekly broadcasting, originally wanting to fight against Amazon and Stronger, but no one won.

In this week's episode of Kamen Rider Strongman, a new villain organization, the Dilza Legion, was announced. This group is derived from Black Satan, and the shape of the Marvel Man is in the same vein as the leather case.

But the cadres are more exemplary!

Shadow General in a white bodysuit who loves playing cards. A pair of buffalo horns on the top of his head, resembling the steel staff of the LOL super soldier. Dr. Kate, dressed in a black robe and a cockscomb. Armed with a huge scythe, the skeleton Shaozuo is known as the brains of the legion......

I have to say that among the many villains of the Showa Knights, the cadre style of the Dilza Legion is already very model.

In other villain organizations, the design of the cadre leader is simply indescribable......

Wrapped in a cloth, painted some camouflage on their faces, called three or five weak chicken combatants, and shouted all day long to "overturn Kamen Riders", I really don't know who gave them the courage.

Amazon's ten-faced ghost is not bad, although it doesn't look good in the TV series, but it's Toei's reluctance to spend money. Make a big pumpkin and put some paint on the actor's face, and the effect will definitely not be good.

If Toei does it with his heart, the ten-faced ghost will definitely become the most terrifying villain weirdo among the Showa Knights!
