I remember when the opening credits uncurdled to reveal the words "Ultra Man." My buds and I used to always say, "Ewww! Here comes the puke!" The Japanese, rubber-suited monsters of Ultraman, Johnny Socko and Godzilla fame sure look ridiculous today. But when we were kids and "unsophisticated," they sure were AWESOME!
Wow Ultraman!!! I 've not thought about this guy in a long time. Yeah, mid 1970's. I used to hold up my electric toothbrush Trying to act like Ultra man. Think that was channel 48 or 17 in Philly that would show this stuff.
@Martialart07 Uh, no You did not have toys marketing of Utraman like the Rangers. Barbie was still a big deal And Star Wars was just around the corner. When that hit, it became the big thing.Too bad Mom was too cheap to get a Star Wars lunch box. I had some lame "Gunsmoke" or "Little house on the Prairie" thing. Lame....
But as you see the special effects did not change much. Guys in bad monster suits fighting.
@Martialart07 Actually my top Show then and Now was "Speed Racer." Cool song, hot car, a girlfriend who could fly a chopper. How could I not be impressed!.
pretty much the early power rangers for kids in the 70's(shut up shut up shut up! i know about super sentai, kamen rider, and metal heroes and where they come from, alright?)
@CVICTORW The funny thing about it is I watched it on my black and white tv in my room and never remember it airing in color back then. Seeing him with red coloring is really strange for me. Anyone have a clip of the show where he fought the monster who accidentally fell to earth on an asteroid or something and was trying to get back to his planet and wouldn't fight Ultraman. He would grab on to a rocket hoping it would take him back home. I cried like a baby everytime I saw that episode.
@zalina03 That makes no sense. Shouldn't you say Spectreman fan boy, or Zone Fighter fan boy? Why would a Godzilla fan hate a show about a super hero robot that fights monsters? It's not ripping off Godzilla in anyway. Or do you just hate Godzilla and wanted an excuse to make fun of it's fandom by making an overused Youtube comment joke on your own video?
I was making a joke. I love Godzilla, but I find that some Godzilla fans hate Ultraman because they think that it's a cheap knock-off (Which is ironic, considering the fact that Ultraman is still airing new seasons/movies, while Godzilla hasn't made a movie since 2004) and wanted to make a joke about the dislike concerning that fact. And yes, I would agree that the joke is (heavily) overused.
@zalina03 I think you should get your facts straight Toho the company that owns the Gojira franchise, gives the the Big G a 6 year vacation before going at it again. There has always been a 6 year gap between each offerings of the Big G, w/c means there ought to be a big one coming out in the near future.
I do believe you are misinterpreting what I said. I said Godzilla hasn't made a movie since 2004, not that they don't make movies about him anymore. Also, if you've payed attention to recent news, Legendary Pictures (The guys that made 300) is working on a remake of the character.
Also, about 6 year vacations... It's been eight. Last time, it was 4. The time before that, it was about 10... *lulz*
@zalina03 You sure about that? Why then are they so similar in how they look and act? It seem like one is a carbon copy of the other. Not sure who came first though.
@zalina03 REally? I just remember those two from back then. If Ultraman came first then I suspect Spectreman was a ripoff of Ultraman. They were too much alike.

Better question, do Godzilla fans hate Ultraman because Ultraman beat up Godzilla because they used the Godzilla suit in one the episodes?

What the fuck was the difference between Ultra Man and Spectreman?

@preo2
Spectreman and Ultraman were made by different companies.

Well, Ultraman came out a few years before, but back then (and even now) there were a bunch of superheroes like those two.
