Chapter 2081 Transaction

The reason for Ultraman's greatness is also the reason for his decline. The greatness lies in Ultraman pointing out the problems faced by mankind, and the decline lies in the fact that mankind cannot find a solution to these real problems. How can Ultraman, as a special drama, give an answer? Therefore, we can only emphasize again and again that we must overcome human selfishness and promote truth, goodness and beauty.

In the past, this was a very popular rhetoric, but ideology is changing. Today's society is no longer satisfied with speaking a few beautiful words from a high position. In this era, everyone hopes that someone can lead them to go down bare-chested and truly solve problems with practical actions, rather than just slogans.

The times are different. In the past, when everyone shouted about ideology, someone would give money and gifts, because the Western world needed discourse power, so they engaged in human rights politics. If you agree with my ideology, I will give you benefits, so the global discourse power was controlled by the West. However, although Westerners have the dividends of the Industrial Revolution and the Age of Discovery, there will be a time when gold and silver mountains are eaten up. In order to maintain ideology, the consumption of dividends has been accelerated. In addition, the relocation of the real economy has caused economic recession, and there is no spare money for human rights diplomacy and ideology.

In this era, it is a competition around resources. Whoever can get more resources will be the leader, and everyone will grab them. And the human rights politics in the past have begun to reveal their true evil faces. Environmental protection can be an excuse to restrict the industrialization of developing countries. The nuclear issue is a killing stick for major powers to maintain the price of oil. Even the garbage disposal that foreign countries are proud of has finally been proved to be just exporting garbage to other countries.

This is the reality. Everything promoted in the Ultraman world has been slapped in the face. It is not a problem caused by the distortion of human nature, but a problem caused by human competition around resources. And resources are related to the living standards of each country, so they cannot help but grab them.

It was just that they used to steal elegantly, but now because of the increasingly fierce competition, they can no longer care about ideology.

However, this has also led to another problem, that is, some people are unwilling to admit reality, and many phenomena called political correctness in the Western world have appeared. Political correctness is the emperor's new clothes. Everyone knows that this thing is wrong and will only make their society more and more divided and chaotic, but no one dares to oppose political correctness. Because this is the last fig leaf of developed countries. They have been high and mighty for hundreds of years, and their blood is noble. How can they admit that they may be replaced by lackeys and lose their noble status? So they need political correctness to maintain their sense of superiority, even if political correctness is harmful to their country.

With political correctness, at least they can maintain their sense of superiority. If not, it will be really bad. Their spiritual beliefs are estimated to disappear, and it will take at least one or two generations to accept the new international status.

From a realistic perspective, we know why Ultraman's ratings have been falling in the overall environment.

Of course, in the new era, Ultraman is also changing. He is no longer a warrior who saves the earth. He may just be a ranger wandering in the universe, or a warrior who specializes in fighting aliens. He no longer worries about solving human problems, but concentrates on fighting, no longer preaching, and no longer closely linked to the fate of mankind.

The pattern has become smaller, and even the Earth Defense Force has disappeared. He has simply become the guardian of the city, or a good boy who helps others. Focus on the love-hate entanglement between Ultraman and aliens, and no longer involve the problems of the earth.

But is this still Ultraman?

So it's difficult. Ultraman's starting point is too high, so it's difficult to lower it. Unlike Kamen Rider, the starting point is a person, not related to the earth's problems. Even if there are problems, they are caused by evil enemies, not problems that cannot be solved in reality. This is simple. Defeating an invincible opponent is always much simpler than solving a real problem.

So Ultraman also began to follow the route of Kamen Rider. The human body is no longer a soldier of the Earth Defense Force running for humans, but a traveler, or an ordinary teenager. They no longer fight for humans, but just to protect the people around them. Their opponent monsters are not caused by humans. Monsters are monsters. The situation they face is not the unfathomable human nature, but evil aliens.

Everything is simplified, but the results are just average.

So for Duran, the problem of improving Ultraman's ratings is a very difficult problem, and it can't be done by talking.

Because Ultraman's positioning is the savior, small fights can't show the need for the savior at all. And if it's big, everyone thinks Ultraman is false and empty.

It's really difficult to be caught in a dilemma.

Duran said he wanted to do the upgrade and monster-killing flow, which is a solution, but it is still difficult to highlight the core values ​​of Ultraman works, and it is impossible to convey the Ultra spirit to the world in a simple way.

However, the will of the universe is willing to listen to Duran's opinions, and it seems to make some sense. He also thinks that Ultraman's universe is similar and too monotonous.

The will of the universe started to work, so Seiga disappeared, and Ultra will was suppressed by the will of the universe. The will of the universe decided to hand over this universe to Duran to run and see if the story he wrote can reverse the ratings.

Boom, Seiga disintegrated into Dyna, Cosmos, and Zero. They couldn't figure out the situation at all, and didn't know what deal Duran made with the will of the universe.

What happened? Why did the will of the universe turn to evil?

The survivors were also shocked. It was obviously a good situation, how could it suddenly turn around? What happened?

"Ultraman, the times have changed. This is not the naive era where you can win by shouting that good will never prevail over evil." Duran laughed with his hands on his hips. He finally gained the upper hand.

What is needed in this era is hard work and scheming. It is about taking advantage of the situation and snatching food from the tiger's mouth. What is needed is heartbeat and excitement.

One Shining Tiga and three ordinary Ultramen are no match for Saint Zetton.

"One trillion fireballs." The big fireball also divided into four, knocking them all out of their transformed state and turning them back into human bodies.

Everyone was shocked. Ultraman lost? It shouldn't be, there is no reason, why?

It was a question sent to the soul. Unfortunately, this was the arrangement of the will of the universe. No one explained it at all. This is very embarrassing. Should Ultraman be renamed "Universe Villain Zetton" in the future?

What Seven Zetton, Jack Zetton, Tiga Zetton, and then began to discuss how to invade the earth and how to expand human evil thoughts as the main goal, and defeat Ultraman every day?

Duran knows that Zetton cannot follow Ultraman’s old path, and Ultraman still has to be the protagonist. However, monsters cannot be beaten every day, otherwise it would be meaningless. Ultraman still has to be filmed, but they need to upgrade, work hard and struggle.
