History YMMV / UltramanTheUltimateHero

* PoorMansSubstitute: Rob Roy Fitzgerald is very obviously trying to emulate Creator/BillMurray's performance in ''Film/GhostBusters''.

* NightmareFuel: ''DADA!''

* FightSceneFailure: The battles of the series are regarded as among the absolute worst in the ''Franchise/UltraSeries'', lacking the camerawork necessary to create a sense of scale or the dynamism to make it actually seem like the suit actors are fighting.

* CommonKnowledge: When people mention the show, it's assumed that it's failure was a matter of ratings. It's actually a matter of ''budget''. After the show wrapped Tsuburaya got saddled with massive production, union, royalty and debt costs that the Western company co-producing the show refused to help with [[note]] said Western producers also used the budget for, among other things, going on expensive vacations[[/note]] which cost it any opportunity to get sold to an American TV channel due to how expensive the show ended up being as a result. When the show played in Japan [[note]]they only had to worry about paying the main cast by releasing it there[[/note]] it was received well enough and along with fellow western show ''Series/UltramanTowardsTheFuture'' managed to bring the franchise back into the public consciousness after nearly a decade of absence.

* NeverLiveItDown: Go ahead and ask any Japanese fan of the franchise about Ultraman Powered. Chances are, they'll either mention his clunky battle scenes, his show bombing so badly it caused the cancellation of several Tsupro projects, or the fact that his cameo in ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'' involves accidentally giving a [[FriendlyFireIndex Friendly Fire]] to [[Anime/UltramanTheAdventureBegins Ultrawoman Beth]] after being used as a HumanShield by Ultraman Belial.

* NightmareFuel: '''DADA!'''

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Honestly, an America-based version of ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'' that reimagines and redesigns the monsters of the original series with Baltan as the BigBad is an awesome idea, if only to see "Powered" versions of Antlar, Zarab, Bemular, and the rest[[note]]Figures of several monsters given a "Powered" redesign that never appeared in the show suggest this was the case[[/note]]. Alas, the resulting series was too short-lived and mediocre to do such a remake justice.

** The background musics, provided none other than Toshihiko Sasashi himself:

*** "Space: The Undiscovered Country" has a nice blend of mellow to tension to epic ending.
*** "Hikari no Senshi ~The Ultimate Hero~", one of the more heroic fight themes that is used in most
*** Other honorable mentions include "Destroy All Monsters" (not that Film/DestroyAllMonsters), "A Fighting Spirit", & "Skyhunter".

* NeverLiveItDown: Go ahead and ask any Japanese fan of Ultra Series about Ultraman Powered. Chances are, you'll either get the answer for his infamous "fight scene", or the fact that his cameo in ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'' involves accidentally giving a [[FriendlyFireIndex Friendly Fire]] to [[Anime/UltramanTheAdventureBegins Ultrawoman Beth]] after being used as a HumanShield by Ultraman Belial.

* AwesomeArt: The monster suits in this series are widely regarded as some of the best-looking rubber suits in the entire franchise. ''However'', this also made them very fragile and cumbersome, hence the poorly done fight scenes.
* AwesomeMusic:

'''Page pretty much in progress. Help is appreciated.'''

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Just about ''every'' Kaiju in this series other than Powered himself.
