I grew up on the original Ultraman and can't understand why they had to stray away from the original version. This version is basically a Japanese Ironman with most of the various Ironman models. The new standard of placing an immature child into an adult situation is getting stale as a plot device. You would figure after his first battle, he would grow up and not continue to act like a spoiled brat. By now, we should all know that Hayata and Ultraman were not the same person and swapped places when it was time to fight. Putting the Science Patrol into a useless secondary role was also a mistake. I would prefer that to team iron Ultraman with the special gene or custom armor. Except for the story, everything else is amazing. It's tragic that show like this would trade the cheesy look of the past for lousy writing. Imagine how Ultraman could have been with the original storyline and today's CGI.
