Ultraman's Weapons
Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2005 7:52 pmThe first one I ever saw was Ultraman fighting Ragon? Rangoon? What was it's name. It had the atom bomb stuck to it?
That is what made me a fan of Japanese sci fi.

Posted: Sat Feb 04, 2006 6:01 pmWhile thinking about this episode at work the other evening, it dawned on me that this show was essentially an Ultra-version of the 50's classic horror flick "The Thing." Heck, even the Japanese episode title translates as "Who Goes There" which is the title of the John W. Campbell short story that the movie was based on. The 50's movie changed the villain from a shape-shifter into a super-intelligent plant which 1) can reproduce itself, and 2) feeds off the blood of humans.
Wow. Maybe I'm just really dense, but I never made the connection to all that stuff until now. The screenwriter must've had this in mind (perhaps just subconsciously) when he penned the Keronia episode.
Thoughts?
