^Maybe TsuPro should try to co-produce a future Ultra series one day with another company for a higher-quality production. Maybe Disney via Marvel will be will be willing to step in. Don't act like something like that's never happened before.

In addition to the Chaiyo lawsuit, the series from the 90's trilogy were insanely expensive to produce, and while they were successful, they didn't make as much money as they were spending, which, when combined with the costly legal battles and inability to bring their shows to a wider worldwide market, severely hurt the franchise. We're still seeing the after-effects of this with the New Gen shows (for example, the reason the defense teams are mostly absent is due to just how expensive it is to create a set, uniforms and vehicles for a team and then get rid of all of it after one season).

New page update -

Ultra Q -
- Gomess, Litra, Peguila, Garamon, Kanegon, Kemur Man and Ragon are iconic
- I love Namegon, Gorgos (maybe my favorite), Mongula, Cicada Man (prefer him over Kemur), Pagos, Goga and Peter
- Gameron, Kai Dragon, Balloonga and the Interdimensional Train (if that counts) are great for being completely surreal
- Juran is neat for inspiring Gamera 2's Legion flower all those years later

Ultraman –
- Bemular, Alien Baltan, Pigmon (<3), Gomora, Alien Mefilas and Zetton are iconic
- I love all the Jissoji kaiju – Gamakugira, Gavadon, Telesdon, Jamila, Skydon and Seabozu
- The most ‘out there’ design is definitely Bullton, and I’m genuinely unnerved by Pestar
- I also like Neronga, Guesra, Antlar, Gabora and Alien Zarab

Ultraseven –
- Agira is my favorite Capsule Monster
- Eleking, Alien Metron, King Joe, Alien Guts and Pandon are iconic
- I also really like Alien Perolynga, and lest we forget the mighty Dinosaur Tank
- The series has so many Aliens it’s overwhelming, from freaky puppets (Cool, Bira, Chibull, Poll) to suits (Godola, Pegassa, Icarus)
- Alien Wild, with the actor's face revealed, is particularly bizarre/memorable

Mine are Gazote (Gazort?) and Telesdon. The two from my childhood that, for some reason, stuck out to me the most.

I had a Bandai figure of Telesdon and an old Gazote. The latter was also my stand-in for Orga.

My favorites are Doragory and Baraba. Choju are awesome. For the aliens, my favorite is Alien Pegassa; mostly because Dark Zone is my favorite episode of Ultraseven.

Doragory
Giras twins (love their energy tornado gimmick)
Red king
Gomora
Silvergon
Golza/fire golza
Antler
King Joe
Tyrant
Birdon
Galacton
Gudis/Gudis 2
Plant Bios (Love the idea of a cyborg plant kaiju robot)
The Giant Gudis infected Tasmanian Devil kaiju in Ultraman towards the Future (Ultraman towards the future had some unique and creative kaijus even if the budget didn’t allow proper execution)
Scorpus creatures from Ultraman Cosmos 2 the blue planet
Maga oroichi
GVK: TNE is a modern day 70s Showa Godzilla movie. Being a massive budget modern blockbuster CGI film instead of traditional 70s tokusatsu techniques doesn't change that. Fight me.

Anguirus and Godzilla being friends in the Showa series is cannon. Deal with it.

Monsterverse is not similar to either MCU nor Bayformers just because all three are big budget CGI blockbuster franchises.
