Chapter 674: Super Beast Clan, Life Man
It's the end of October.
2021 is coming to an end, and many of PD's weekly dramas will also usher in the final conclusion. The first thing to end is "Superelectronic Cyborg", which started earlier and had fewer episodes.
Abbreviated as Bioman!
In last week's episode, Bioman worked together to defeat Hilba's robot, Balkion, with the help of the blue-eyed Peebo robot, causing Hilba to blow himself up and die.
After defeating the Five Beasts one after another, Monsta, Farah, Mason (BIG3) and Hilba......
The BIO five-person group finally confronts the final strong enemy, and is also the leader of the villain organization [New Empire GEAR], Dr. Doctorman, who pilots the strongest robot king MGES.
Doctor translates to doctor.
So this villain boss can be simply remembered as "Dr. Mad Doctor". Anyway, it's a code name, and no one knows the real name, so there's no point in dwelling on this.
This mad doctor can be said to be one of the rare "technical villains" in the history of tokusatsu dramas.
He is an out-and-out genius who conducts brain cell enhancement experiments on himself and obtains the strongest mind. not only single-handedly founded the villain organization, but also developed a variety of battle mecha men and giant robots with perverted performance for this organization......
Cosmic grade!
God of biology and mechanics!
But it's a pity......
Although this product is a genius, he did not make good use of his talents and went to the opposite side of the protagonist group.
So, he hung up!
Even the strongest robot can't compete with the [BIO Particle Slash] blessed by the protagonist's aura. A cosmic-level scholar was finally beaten to death by five "tightsuit perverts" who did not learn or know how to do it, which is embarrassing.
The previous work "Electronic Warfare Electromagnetic Man", the ending is a tragedy.
Carrying a lot of joy and beauty, the mechanical dog IC sacrificed in order to defeat a strong enemy. This ending is unacceptable to many viewers.
Originally, the ending of "Superelectronic Cyborg" should also have been a tragedy. The fate of the robot Peebo may be similar to the Chow Chow IC in the previous work.
But there was an accident in this work, and a generation of biochemical yellow sacrificed!
A protagonist has already died, and it would be too miserable to let Peebo die as well. For this reason, the sad atmosphere is neutralized, and the ending is uncharacteristically satisfying.
No one sacrificed!
Peebo left Earth without incident.
When the subtitles of [The End of the Play] appeared, the audience, who was still worried about the tragedy at the end, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It's good that nothing happens!
"Congratulations!"
"Sprinkle flowers!"
"Looking forward to the next one!"
On major forums, posts celebrating the end of "BIOman" instantly swept the screen. Everyone was stunned to find that there were so many viewers of "BIOman"?
The most conspicuous are......
Many of the posts celebrating the end of this piece are in English, Traditional, Arabic, Japanese, etc.
There are a lot of foreign friends lurking!
"That's normal!"
Meng Lang chewed bubble gum and explained to Wang Kui while drafting the list of the preparatory group for the [8th PD Carnival].
"Superelectronic biochemical people are indeed not very popular in China, and they are rarely discussed. But abroad, especially in Europe and the United States, BIOman is very popular!"
"I know ...... this"
Wang Kui is also a core senior member of PD and has read a lot of confidential documents. He didn't feel strange about Mr. Meng's answer.
If it is said that "Electronic Warfare Electromagnetic Man" has helped PD North America gain a firm foothold in the local area and enhance the company's status.
That "Superelectronic Biochemical Man" is a god of wealth, which not only opened up the overseas market, but also made the profitability of the North American branch of PD jump to the top of the group overnight.
As far as Wang Kui knows, BIOman has generated more than $3 billion in revenue for the PD North American division in the past year.
Good bro, it's scary!
Yu-Gi-Oh is known as a money printing machine, but the overall sales data is only a little higher than BIOman, and it has not formed a crush.
So to speak......
With just one IP, "Super Squad", PD North America can become one of the most profitable subsidiaries of PD Group.
So, here's the problem!
Super Sentai series, as one of PD's most profitable IP series. After the end of "Superelectronic Cyborg", a successor will definitely be launched.
What's next?
"About the ...... of Succession"
Meng Lang pondered: "I have already discussed with Kent and decided to call it "Super Beast Squad Life Man"!"
The Showa team is generally of average quality.
Therefore, after the end of BIOman, there is not much room for Meng Lang to choose.
What "Electric Shock Team Changer", "Supernova Flash Man" and "Light Team Overlay", in addition to tinkering with the setting, are not worth investing a huge amount of money in remakes.
Even though the Light Warrior Team incorporated elements of Chinese martial arts, the Electric Shock Team created a precedent for the villain to "abandon evil and follow good", and the supernova Flashman created the bridge of "the protagonist group was brainwashed", Meng Lang still insisted on his opinion......
No is no good!
Even if there are some bright spots, it can't hide the plot rhythm problems of these works, including the quality of the finished film.
Some people have always said that in the past five years from 84 to 88, the main plot of the team has been smoothed, and gods and quasi-gods have appeared frequently.
But let's be honest......
Among the three major neon special effects IPs, Showa Oku> Showa Knights > other > Showa team!
It's been filmed every year, and it's never been broken, which is the advantage of the team, and it should be praised! But the quality of the Showa period is worrying, and it's really the weakness of the team series.
Of course, the team is improving fast!
Since the beginning of "Superelectronic Cyborg", the quality of the Squad series has been "steadily growing". Every new work every year, it will be much better than the previous work.
It wasn't until the Super Beast team and the high-speed team appeared as the watershed of "Showa-Heisei" that the team completed the "Catch up with the Olympics and Super Ride" and became one of the three major neon special effects IP series.
The Ultra Beast team is still good!
Although there are still old problems, Toei producers at this time are already thinking about the future direction of the team in the new era.
For this reason, the Ultrabeast has set a lot of precedents.
The most core should be "only three people in the early stage, and two more in the later stage", adopting segmented operations, and the first robot "super combination" appeared, that is, the No. 1 robot and the No. 2 robot were combined to form a new robot.
The plot is quite exciting.
Beginning on Science Island, Dr. Xing and Professor Da have two sets of theories, and they continue to stage the story of the betrayal of friends, the death of friends, and the fall of friends.
People who like it, like it very much.
If you don't like it, you can't help but click the fork after watching a few episodes.
As the 12th work of the Sentai team, it is also the last work of Showa. The quality of the Ultra Beast team is indeed high, but it is also really controversial.
There are two sides to everything!
Although the evaluation of the super beast is polarized, the audience who loves this work still occupies the mainstream.
This is also the reason why Meng Lang chose it.
As the saying goes, black powder is also powder.
If a work doesn't even have a squirting person, it's not a big hit. Only when it is on fire will it attract attention and then provoke trolls.
