In all seriousness, though, I think we actually have a lot of common ground on this issue. But here in the mirror universe, CGI requires craftsmanship in its own right, and that's worth appreciating too. While I'll be right there with you if this becomes a regular thing (I can tell you right now I'm going to be bummed when Shin Ultraman inevitably isn't done practically), I just don't think there's any reason to take such a hard-line stance on this when all signs point to it being a one-off experiment. Groob shouldn't have only been CG in that flying scene because that would've completely defeated the entire purpose of what Tsuburaya was actually trying to do with the idea. That's where the discussion ends for me.

I won't press this issue any further, especially since I do completely understand your position here, but I don't know. My initial reaction to Groob as I was watching the movie was a dejected "oh..." when I realized what was going on, but as the climax played out I found myself impressed by just how much hard work it's evident went into all those shots.
