But if I remember right, the ending makes absolutely no sense!

Perhaps, but very kind and optimistic. I mean, this show believes that in the future our planet will become a utopia. Already in the 80s it was too naive.

I watched the movie "Slaveman" 2017. This is a variation on the "dark" tokusatsu theme, like GARO and the rethinking of the Showa riders (I wonder if we can wait for Sentai?). More precisely, this film only pretends to be such, in fact being a reflection on the topic of creativity and human life. But no tedious moralizing, everything is very dynamic and bloody. The staging ... raises questions. On the one hand, the shots are beautiful, the staging of the fights is gorgeous, the actors also look quite professional. On the other hand: a minimum of staff forces the actors to play several roles (and, it seems to me, sometimes even play the role of an operator), special effects are terrible even by the standards of genres and the entire space is bounded by one building and adjacent street. Almost the entire budget was spent on the MC costume, so the monsters were given one rusty mask for all. Judging by such characteristics, as well as the theme, this is a fan project from people working in the field of tokusatsu, but who did not find sponsors. But in this form, it is quite watchable.
I won't talk about the plot so as not to spoil the twist. Who cares, he will see for himself.

If you guys want to check out this cool indie toku movie with subs here you go.

I watched Ork!

For a short indie film that was primarily filmed on an iPhone, I was pleasantly surprised at just how well made it was!

The cinematography was great, the atmosphere was on point, and action scenes were well choreographed, and the effects were surprisingly solid. I had a fun time watching it even despite the machine translated subs!

I watched Ork as well.

I feel like the biggest twist in that short film somehow is that the suits are actually frog themed. Like, I assumed general demon theme but nope, they're frogs!
