I actually like Jet Jaguar. He has a pretty cool design even if it was taken off from Ultraman and Zone Fighter.

Jet Jaguar is the awesomest fucking thing, and if you don't think he's cool, you need to get your head checked.

As cyborgs go in Toho films, JJ has the most personality. That, and an interesting design, make JJ a character you have to love. Just like the theme song.

Godzilla vs Megalon has always been high on my list. This was a favorite of mine growing up... BUT!! and it's a big but, I did not like jet jaguar, and in my older age even more.. Even way back then I found the name rather lame.. and the theme song... I cringe everytime. The song always seemed out of place to me. I guess proof this was originally supposed to be a jet jaguar movie but to me Godzilla Megalon Gigan and Lord Sideburns stole the show.

Cool concept but they made him weak as fuck and he just came off as clumsy and stupid. He's one creation I'd like to see Legendary Reboot. I think he fits the criteria of stuff Legendary could reboot, personally.

He's kind of a lame ass in his own film. Like besides the brief scene of him using his eyes to search around he has no special powers, or even beams if I recall. He's not even a great melee fighter. However, that face+his song+his design, makes him amazingly goofy in the best o possible ways.

The recent appearances he got in the IDW comics skyrocketed him to one of my favorite characters. For those who don't know he uses his size changing abilities in really creative ways; like shrinking down to hop in the cockpit of Kiryu, or going inside orga and bursting in from outside. So it's more he's cooler to what he's built up to be then whatever going on in his actual film.

I also have a figure of him that's pretty cool,

Zone Fighter was produced AFTER Godzilla vs Megalon.

Really? My bad. My knowledge with Zone Fighter isn't that known, always assumed it was before Godzilla vs. Megalon...Now I know.

Alright guys, enough spoofing lol

Is it just me or does anyone have else think that JJ would have been better had he done some more meme worthy stuff. Even in a movie where he was supposed to be aain character he doesn't really do much besides be taken hostage by gigan

I'm not sure what "meme worthy stuff" would entail, but I can't say that my appreciation of a character is tied to the actions of that character obtaining a cultural presence divorced from their original context.

The slightly more expensive not-Ultraman was entertaining, I guess. Godzilla didn't seem to mind.

I like JJ as a concept, he's definitely unique in the franchise. Is it the German dub where JJ is referred to as King Kong wearing a robot suit?

Well in Germany they also redubbed a lot of the films to make Frankenstein responsible for the enemy kaiju. Apparently they thought it would bring in bigger audiences. That's why a lot of European movie posters mention Kong or Frankenstein in the titles.
