Lol the comments are filled with people defending that Ultraman is not a Way Big ripoff.

It's strange to me that there are people in this world who have never seen the character of Ultraman. Globally, he must be right up there with Superman and Spiderman in terms of presence.
I suspect those comments are over responding to a handful few trolls...

Yeah I suspect it's trolling. I'd understand if western kids wouldn't know about Ultraman, but for people who are familiar pop culture, Ultraman is extremely iconic, it'll be like not knowing Darth Vader.... Or Spock to a lesser extent I guess?
I hope the series sell well so that Marvel might collaborate with Tsuburaya to make a full series.

Actually no, Ultraman is not as iconic as you would think.
I know a lot of people who know Bioman and Winspector but have no clue about what Ultraman is... |

I think how well known Ultraman is is being vastly overestimated here; he's certainly nowhere near on par with Batman or Darth Vader. I'm afraid the biggest Toku exposure western pop culture has is still that time in the 90s a bunch of teenagers with attitude threw on some diamond dinosaur suits.

You forgot the virtual reality troopers who has an annoying talking dog, a certain prince who talks to insects by screeching while taking care of his bionic furby and fights his uncle to regain the throne, and those kids who become metallic insect robot thingys thanks to a genie who wears clothes stolen from Prince and Earth,Wind & Fire's wardrobe department.

I would say Godzilla is the most recognizable Toku worldwide.
