Why does everyone hate Jet Jaguar?



Wow! There seems to be a lot of hate for Jet Jaguar on the net. I think that he is one of the best parts of this movie.

Okay, so the little kid's voice in the dub is ANNOYING, but his robot buddy is cool as hell!

Jetto Jagga - PUNCH, PUNCH, PUNCH!

He's alright, but I don't really like him...People hate him because he's an Ultraman rip-off, and he doesn't belong in the Godzilla series.

Maybe he's just misunderstood, like Iron Man in the Black Sabbath song. Poor Jet Jaguar!

I don't really like him because he's not really a "monster." He's more of a human, and I don't want no giant human robots in my monster fight. Blah!

It's because Jet Jaguar is ridiculous even by the standards of Godzilla films.

I don't hate Jet Jaguar, I'm a huge Ultraman fan, and I loved him in the Godzilla VS Megalon then, and now!, There is a good reason for the Monster Stock footage being used, Eiji Tsuburaya the guy responsible for all the cool SF and Godzilla costumes, and the creator of the ever popular Ultraman series died a couple of years before Godzilla VS Megalon was made, and his death must have been a huge blow to Toho at the time, His last movie he worked on was Godzilla's Revenge 1969 , and Godzilla VS Megalon was released in 1973, The jet Jaguar design was from a contest and bares little resembolance to Ultraman, I have the Original Japanese ( Widescreen ) Godzilla VS Megalon and it's really good compared to the American Release of it, What really killed this movie for godzilla fans ( except me ) was the poor dub job, maybe if this movie is released on DVD, it will get redubbed!

I think they hate him because he's probably the only robot who could ever get dizzy.

LMAO! I really like when Jet Jaguar flies, though! I saw a few cool little figures of him in flight mode on eBay, but they are expensive as hell!

I'm no hater myself, but I can see why you'd hate him. I think you can too. Come on.

I hear his theme music, he's around here somewhere...

Not everyone! I love Jet Jaguar!

JJ was a great "character" with a great design. They did a good job of keeping it from looking too similar to other robots/pseudo-robots of the time. I like that it has "facial features" which are kind of freaky and grotesque, gives it a vaguely menacing appearance.

The name is hilarious! And any robot which can program itself to grow to several times its original size is quite badass.
