Ultraman: Rising has arrived on Netflix and it’s turning the concept of parenting on its head! Imagine this – a baby that is larger than your home and shoots lasers from its eyes. That’s one wake-up call you wouldn’t forget.
This fresh twist on the Ultraman legacy explores the topsy-turvy adventure of parenting a giant baby monster, a Kaiju. It’s a huge departure from our usual parenting tales. Before we dive in, let’s discover how the cast and directors handled this monstrous challenge.
Embracing Ultraman’s Legacy
From the onset, cast and crew felt a deep responsibility — to honor the superhero Ultraman. It’s a mission that they didn’t take lightly. But it wasn’t all somber duty. There was laughter, fun, and a unique camaraderie. Together they created an unforgettable experience for themselves and screen magic for us.
One of the actors, Christopher Sean, had a thoughtful take. He believes you don’t have to have kids to understand the responsibility of protection. His words hit the nail on the head in terms of the show’s central theme — guardian care. And this isn’t just for human beings. It extends to monstrous beings as well!
Mastering Co-Directing
The directors, Shannon Tindle and John Aoshima, brought their own insights to the table. They viewed co-directing as both a blessing and a challenge. The diverse opinions they contributed turned out to enrich the project in ways unimagined. When asked about directing a crossover film between Ultraman and Godzilla, they were super stoked. This is something we would love to see happen.
Delving into the Ultraman: Rising Adventure
The storyline of Ultraman: Rising takes us through the life of a character named Ken Sato. Ken is a superstar in baseball who finds himself in the thick of increased monster attacks back home in Tokyo. Ultraman, as it turns out, might meet his match.
That’s when Ken becomes a different kind of hero, a father-figure to a massive, 35-foot tall, fire-breathing baby Kaiju. All while he’s tasked with protecting her from those up to no good.
Unpacking Real-life Lessons
The cast also learned a thing or two about life in the process. The hardships and trials faced by the show’s characters can easily be matched to real-world challenges. Ultraman: Rising brings us a fresh look at the legendary Ultraman story. It adds a delightful mix of parenting and supernatural action. All these make the show’s appeal even grander.
