Was a little sad that the first episode ended with a passing cameo from Great and Powered cause it was really getting interesting.

P.S.: With all this global Ultraman material, what would Hideaki Tsuburaya think? He's been a little nitpicky in the past and I don't fully agree with his assumptions that Ultraman has nothing to offer to the World (https://tokusatsunetwork.com/2018/06...aman-globally/)!

Cutting through the article (which does a lot of waffling), it seems his main point is that modern Ultraman is merchandise-based and hence very soulless; based more on sales than making a piece of art.

Which I get, but it's always a bit more complex than that -- even if something's made for those purposes, it can still have worth and be important to the people that watched it; and still have a legitimate place. Tokusatsu right now is I think the ultimate example of that, even if certain series are seeing that ratio go in a very negative direction.
