Why in the hell did Ultraman Nexus fail?

man1: "That's not fair, why does he always use his finisher first?"
man2: "Why does other superheroes always wait until the end to use theirs?"

Sometimes, you gotta' save the best for last . . .

These two things are all I need to ignore any points you might have made. It didn't have the Ultra formula to a lot of us. If it did for you that's great. But to word things like you did :/

Well, so I guess we shouldn't call the New Gen Riders Kamen Riders because they don't follow the Kamen Rider formula used in the old school Rider shows:rolleyes2:

Seriously fans who complain that the show isn't a .......... show because it doesn't have the typical ......... formula by trying something new really get on my nerves sometimes.

Mind you, ULTRAMAN did pretty poorly at the box office as well. Similar to Nexus, I'd wager it just couldn't find its intended audience.

Got any numbers for this? I've always heard it did bad, but was never able to find any real numbers.

'Fraid not. I remember seeing official box office reports posted on Monster Zero once but that was back in 04-05, around the time it was actually in theaters. I checked back through the various threads in the Ultraman forum there but I can't seem to find the discussion thread where they were posted. As I recall, it did about as bad or worse than Godzilla Final Wars did around the same time. Sucks, since unlike Final Wars, THE NEXT was actually a good film.
