Sutargoz: The Kaiju From Krypton

01/13/2025

While I’ve been watching the original 66 series in short bursts this month, it’s time to start the main focus of my first batch of Ultraman shows for this year and that is none other than Ultraman Nexus.

Nexus is the one Ultraman series next to Tiga that I’ve wanted to watch the most! I’ve heard nothing but good things about it and I’m told it’s arguably the best Ultraman show ever and it’s one I’ve been trying to watch for years, if not for a decade now.

Usually how an Ultraman show goes is we have the series first and then a movie but Nexus was a different type of beast as it was apart of a project know as Ultra N Project, a new revitalization attempt for the Ultra Series with new design schemes, stories, and a different tone. The movies would serve as the beginning for these new projects and then followed by a tv series.

I’ve heard Ultraman Nexus is a Dark and Serious show and that always got my attention, as I like it when shows and movies attempt that. However there’s another Ultraman show that tried something similar but unlike Nexus, was directed towards an adult only audience and that show was Ultraseven X, the only Ultraman show I’ve watched that made me VERY BORED.

Nexus is also a series that was plague with production problems from world events to the movie being delayed and released after the show started to ultimately the show being cut short due to it being placed in the wrong time slot.

I know very little about Nexus outside of what I previously mentioned as well as the series having multiple hosts for Nexus which would lead to some different designs and that some Aliens and Kaiju would later appear in other Ultraman shows, some of which I already saw.

I’m really looking forward to watching this series and seeing if it lives up to the hype and we start off with the movie, Ultraman The Next. I’ve seen some brief clips of the movie and all I remember is Nexus’ movie design being different from the show’s design.

Now with all that said, let’s go and watch this movie and see if Nexus lives up to the hype. Personal thanks again to Matt Frank for encouraging me to watch Nexus.

With that all said, what do you think of Nexus? Did you like the movie? Did you like the show and did you think it lived up to the hype or not?

So last year was supposed to be the big year of Ultraman for me, with a new series and a new movie that was animated and exclusively made for Netflix.

I was supposed to go in overdrive and watch show after show and movie after movie last year.

Then we fast forward to now and all I watched last year was the other half of Orb I meant to finish in 2023 and Orb: The Origin Saga plus a handful of Tiga episodes you can count on one hand.

I didn’t watch Blazar or Arc and I didn’t watch the Netflix movie either.

A number of things caused this to happen from too many things in my life getting in the way, I kept on watching and pausing on various other shows, and for a while my interest in Ultraman faded. Not to the level where I didn’t like it anymore, far from that but the drive to watch these shows just wasn’t there.

That’s why a goal of mine for this new year is to rectify this and focus on FOUR Ultraman shows over any other show and each of these installments have a form of importance to either the franchise itself or to me personally and those shows are the following:

- The one that started it all, the original 1966 series. This year will mark the 59th year anniversary of the series and I’m making it a goal of mine to watch it all this year as I’ve been in the mood to watch a Showa series and the original has been on my mind lately, especially since I want to watch all the way til the end and see Zetton, aka my second favorite Ultra Alien, in his debut episode.

- Ultraman Tiga, my very introduction to the Ultra Franchise and the series that brought back the Ultra Franchise on television after there being a 16 year drought, not including the 2 international attempts made during the 90s. Tiga I’ve been watching on and off since 2023 and I do love the series and as previously said, was my introduction to Ultraman back in the FoxBox Days. I want to finish the series and truly see, in full, why it’s often regarded as the best Ultraman series ever and hopefully by the time I’m done, Mill Creek will announce a home release for the Tiga Movie as it was previously omitted for music licensing issues.

- The one Ultraman series I’ve wanted to watch the most next to Tiga and the one I hear nothing but great things about, Ultraman Nexus. I was recently talking Ultraman with famed Godzilla Artist Matt Frank and I was asking him which to watch next, Nexus or our next pick and he highly recommended Nexus and I’ll be taking my friend’s advice.

- And finally the last series of the bunch and the one I’ve wanted to watch the most out of the New Generation Heroes era, Ultraman Geed. Geed’s design always stood out from the rest for me and learning that he’s the son of one of my all time favorite Ultraman Villains, I HAVE to give it a watch. That and I’ve heard a lot of good things about the series and I know it’s a fan favorite, so it’ll be a fun watch.

Now as for which of these 4 I’ll be starting off with, Ultraman Nexus will be the series I will be putting the most focus on first starting off with it’s movie, Ultraman: The Next.

Now while Nexus will be the primary focus, I’ll be watching the original 66 series too but in bite sizes chunks, probably to the point where I originally left off and take a break from there.

Once Nexus is finished, I’ll work on Geed next and then finish off Tiga and the 66 series. By that time Mill Creek Entertainment will hopefully release Tiga’s missing movie as well as getting all caught up with the New Generation Heroes/Reiwa Era shows and then I can start collecting them again.

I’ll probably do Ultraseven, Cosmos, Mebius, and R/B as the next batch and maybe throw Ultraseven X in the fold, even though that series was a drag and to me was VERY BORING after 2 episodes in.

But with that said, which of these four shows is your favorite? Which Ultraman show do you plan to watching this year and which do you recommend me to watch?

Now to share one image I’ve been sharing since my teen years, Godzilla vs Santa CLAWS!!!

I discovered this image sometime in the mid to late 2000s and I’ve loved it ever since and it’s become a tradition to post it almost every year since.

So Merry Christmas Everyone from the Godzilla side of things.

Sharing some more of my favorite Christmas images of Superman.

This might be my favorite one and it’s painted by one of my all time favorite artists, Alex Ross.

Merry Christmas everyone from the Kaiju from Krypton.

This is one of my favorite images to share during the holiday and I love the idea of Superman saving the Grinch.

While we’re going to getting this fight later with the more traditional Godzilla, but man…

If they done this back in the late 70s/early 80s, this would of been pretty dope.

As you can tell from previous posts, I LOVE the Marvel Incarnation of Godzilla.

12/16/2024

Meant to post this earlier but Ultraman Orb: The Origin Saga was the then current Ultraman show I was watching but I finished it last week.

Even though it’s only 12 episodes long, it took me a while to watch it all, mainly because I was watching it on and off and my Ultraman moods would vary.

I know there’s some mixed thoughts on it and I can see why, but I had fun with it.

Not the best Ultra series I’ve watched but not the worst either.

Well this came out of the blue but I’m also not too surprised at the same time.

Godzilla is coming back to the Marvel Universe to battle not only Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, X-Men, and Fantastic Four but Galactus himself with his new herald: KING GHIDORAH!!!

Now this won’t be a limited series or an on-going but rather a series of one-shots which may be a little disappointing to some but each one will focus on a different crossover which is interesting.

From the look of things, this will be the more traditional Godzilla as oppose to the Marvel version which is a shame as I love that incarnation a lot but this is still awesome news to hear and I cannot wait to read it! Hoping maybe we’ll get one with the Hulk as that fight is more than overdue plus Venom meeting Godzilla would be cool. I’m REALLY excited to see Godzilla take on Galactus as that’s something I wanted for a while too, even if the fight might be deemed one sided.

And hey! Now that Godzilla is crossing paths with Marvel, is a Ultraman crossover with Godzilla somewhere down the line?
🤔🤔🤔

It’s a crazy time we’ll be living in come next year as we’ll not only have 2 Godzilla crossovers in 2025 but 2 crossovers each featuring a different version of the big G fighting a group of superheroes from rival companies.

It’s gonna be wild!

Saw Venom: The Last Dance just now and it was okay.

Nothing really special or that memorable but I had some fun with it though much like the other Venom films, I’ll hardly revisit it.

Happy Knull made a cameo though, and this is a nitpick but I don’t like the changes they made with how things work with Knull and the symbiotes. I do hope the rumors about future plans with Knull are true.

I will say I’m happy the villains in the movie AREN’T the Symbiotes as I was afraid they’d do this for a third time and that would have been very tiring. I liked that the Xenophages were used as I always found them to be cool. They were also much more violent than I expected.

I liked seeing the various unnamed symbiotes too though I’m pretty sure I know which ones are which and I liked how Eddie and Venom played off of each other, those are the moments that made me smile and laugh. I also see how they set up something for a future movie with a name drop.

Happy to see the film but I’m also glad I didn’t spend any money on it and instead used my free movie ticket, much like all the other Venom movies.

What did you think of Venom: The Last Dance and which Venom movie is your favorite?

Final Wars was a fun Godzilla film.

On this day in 2004, 'Godzilla: Final Wars' made its world premiere at the iconic Grauman's Egyptian Theatre. The event was attended by the cast, crew, and numerous celebrities, including Godzilla mega fan, Dave Filoni.

Happy 20th to the global premiere of FINAL WARS!
