ACE has the meaning of trump card.

From the perspective of combat power alone, Ace's performance in TV dramas is completely in line with the audience's psychological expectations of "ace warriors".

After all, he's fighting a super beast!

The ferocity and strength of the super beast have been fully demonstrated in the first episode.

King Black, who once gave Jack a headache, was beaten by the super beast Belaukorn with three punches and two kicks. And the super beast Bellau Kern was also easily solved by Ace, who appeared later.

Combat power is not everything......

Ace is strong, no one denies that. But the second episode that aired afterwards revealed the "immature" side of the young warrior.

The Awa people fused the eggs of an ancient chameleon with the eggs of a cosmic pterodactyl to create a new super beast, King Gamere.

The TAC team went to destroy it.

After the conventional weapons failed, Beidou and Nan Yuzi merged and transformed into Ace to face King Gamere. Just then, a woman with a child fell on her knees in front of Ace and begged him to spare the monster.

It turned out that the woman's husband was a construction worker who had been sucked by the "weird egg" before.

"Everyone thought he was dead, but I could hear his cries, he was still alive, inside this monster......"

Using the "Ears of Ace" and the "Eyes of Ace", Ace spotted the construction worker and heard his voice.

He's in amazing shape......

** has been annihilated, and consciousness has been assimilated by King Gamel. It can be said that he is King Gamere, but King Gamelei is not him.

"Help me, I don't want to die!"

The man's cry for help made Ace fall into a helpless situation. His mercy made him afraid to harm King Gamel. King Kogamele was under the control of the Apo, and had fallen into a berserk.

"Bastard, what are you doing?"

Master Masaaki smashed his helmet to the ground and scolded angrily, "Everyone will sympathize with what happened to him, but this is not a reason for us to condone him to hurt others. ”

Ace is in a dilemma.

Captain Long Wu glanced at Ace meaningfully and accepted the order from the General Staff of the Defense Force. He decided to use a high-intensity bomb to eliminate King Gamere at all costs.

The bomb exploded!

King Gamere was unscathed, but a crater with a diameter of 700 meters was blown out of the urban area of Jiangchuan. Countless people have been displaced, their eyes blank.

Ace then reacted, put away the undeserved kindness, and struggled to break free from King Gamel, destroying him with the light of Metalim.

The mother and son from before burst into tears as the monster was blown to powder by the Metallim light.

Young warrior, lost in confusion.

He may have great power to defeat monsters or superbeasts. But force alone cannot solve all problems.

Ace, does he really deserve it?

Ace's story, the theme is "growing up". The proud son of heaven from the land of light, in the face of the scheming Awa people, gradually grows into a solo ace warrior.

King Gamere is just the beginning......

In order to show Ace's immaturity, there are many similar episodes in subsequent episodes. It wasn't until he was slapped by the first generation that he had a subsequent transformation.

Of course, this is not to disparage Ace.

This is just to make Ace's image more down-to-earth. In addition to his shortcomings, he also has advantages.

Courage, value feelings!

Don't mention courage, when ridiculing Ace as a "group annihilation engine", don't forget that his courage is also commendable.

The key is to value feelings!

When the Ultra brothers VS the Leo brothers, the first Jack was weak and ruthless, and it felt like he had used all the strength to eat. Ace barely attacked Leo except for bullying Astra.

This is something to be thankful for!

Compared with his predecessor Jack, Ace implanted more thinking about "humanization", and also added a lot of entertainment. This is the screenwriter Ichikawa Morikazu's understanding of heroes, and it is also the main plot line throughout the early and middle periods.

It's a pity that there was a contradiction in the later stage.

After leaving a classic line of "enthusiasm cannot be extinguished", Moriichi Ichikawa, who finished saying "The Last Wish", said goodbye to the Ultraman series and never worked together again.

Ace is classic, and the plot is excellent, there is no doubt about that. The original Ace, because of the fierce competition with Toei, had lower ratings than Guiman.

But it's not the same at Pengda.

Jiangchuan Satellite TV chose to premiere at half past seven in the evening, according to common sense, the competition for ratings in this schedule is particularly fierce.

But this is Ultraman!

Sandwiched between a bunch of period dramas, costume dramas and mother-in-law dramas, Ultraman is like the most beautiful boy on this street, how can there be any competitors?

The audience is completely different.

Therefore, Ace's ratings are under no pressure. With the novel innovation of "double transformation", the premiere rating was 13.01%, surpassing the predecessor Jack in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that the second episode fell.

Although the decline is not large, the decline is a decline after all. It's only been a few minutes of advertising, and many viewers have already changed their channels. Wouldn't it be the third episode 24 hours later, and it would fall even more?

The results were not surprising.

By the time the third episode aired, the ratings had dropped to around 11%. Fortunately, by the time the fourth episode aired, the ratings curve stabilized.

Probably, this is the ceiling.

The glory of the first generation is destined to be an irreproducible miracle of the times. With an 11% rating after five years, Ace's strength is undoubted.

It doesn't matter!

Ultraman's IP has been erected, and the number of ratings does not affect the value of the entire IP series.

Compared with the ethereal data curve, Meng Lang pays more attention to the audience's feedback.

Judging from the comments collected on major social platforms, the audience can generally accept Ace's new setting. Including Ultra Beasts, Cosmic Hybridization Experts, Awa People, TAC Team, and more.

The only controversy is probably the new "two-in-one" transformation.

The combination transformation is acceptable, but your transformation device is a ring! It is also specially designed in the style of a "wedding ring", combined with the news about "19 girlfriends of North American boys splitting legs" not long ago, the audience was speechless.

The starring role is not a big problem.

In the Ultraman series, it is already customary to use newcomers. Yang Zhe and Lin Fangmin, looking at the entire entertainment industry, their appearance is not too low.

Acting is a plus!

As for the supporting roles, it's even better. Each of the TAC players has distinctive characteristics. Master Masaaki, in particular, is simply too popular.

Wu Yu's performance can be called perfect.

In order to play Master Zhengming well, he made himself fat and studied a lot of Taoist classics. During the filming period, he became similar to an ordinary Taoist priest.

This kind of dedication is matched with his excellent acting skills. In addition, the role of Master Zhengming belongs to the positioning of "funny and responsible" in the play, and it is strange if he is not popular.

Poor Yang Zhe......

Obviously, he is the male lead, but the limelight was stolen by Wu Yu. Ace's premiere was so popular, but no manufacturer came to him to shoot commercials.
