I can't disagree with Zetton being overused, but he's also my favorite Ultra-kaiju so I might be biased. The seven year old kid in me still gets hyped whenever I hear the iconic THWOOOOOOP police siren sound (you know the one). But yeah, it's just spitballing on my part. Though to be honest I'd be surprised if Zetton didn't show up at least once, given he's been in every NG show sans R/B, if memory serves?
Though speaking of recycling Ultra-kaiju, I always wonder if they'll reuse more monsters from outside the M78verse. I know some get reused on occasion (like Gan Q in Ginga S, or a couple of em to form Beryudora), but it would be cool to see more canon immigrant kaiju.
Anyway, uh I feel like I read that somewhere about the attack teams and militarization but don't quote me on that. I can't remember where though.

Yeah. That's how I feel about a lot of the NG designs. I've been thinking about it a fair bit recently as well.
I'm a big comic-book fan too and there are certain parallels between superhero and Ultramen designs. Back in the day there were limitations to designing a comic-book hero's outfit. Their costumes had to be simple because a) the color separation technology simply wasn't there for more complex stuff and b) artists had to churn out pages at superhuman speed.
What happened was that costume designs were usually to the point and without frills. Or in other words,
iconic
.
Nowadays, most modern superhero designs feel like they're doing too much. And I feel like a similar situation is happening with the NG Ultra suits. X and Orb in particular have so much going on that your eye just reduces them to another generic Silver Ultra.
I really think the trick is to simplify and make the costume elements visually
consistent
. That's how you make a suit iconic. Look at more streamlined designs like Zero or Tiga - you can tell who they are from a mile away.
I will say that I think Taiga was a step in the right direction. Titas in particular is a pretty unique and dope design. Taiga himself and Fuma I'm less sold on, but at least they're not as noisy. Zett feels like a step back especially since his head just looks like a generic Ultra (except for the Slugger, I guess?), but I'll wait and see.
I do wish that we got a Red Ultra (like Seven/Max) or a L77 Ultra like Leo for the next protagonist though. I don't even consider Taiga a Red, given his design feels more like a Silver with horns.
