All Ultras are not created equal.

Lumping it in with the original Ultraman is a mistake, but both have plenty to offer.

And you know what else helps? Nexus isn't 50 episodes long. You guys would be back to fighting over Goseiger or OOO or whatever else in no time.

I would have vastly preferred Ultraman Max as its episodes show the full spectrum of what's possible in your average Ultraman series, with many fantastic directors and writers, and a healthy respect and homage to the Showa classics without requiring actually seeing those old episodes, but... well, Tokuplex starting subbing Max when it was new. In 2005.

You went a step too far.
