Talk:MAT (Monster Attack Team)/@comment-220.244.109.188-20160325100034

I find that the Return of Ultraman (aka Ultraman Jack) series had a rather serious theme compared to UltraSeven and Ultraman Taro. There were less goofy scenes, and a lesser tolerance towards monster activity. The monsters/kaiju in the series were presented as seemingly harmless, and being more animal-like and not as 'evil' or threatening. There were monsters like; Garbagos, Kupukupu (baby Kingstron), Ghostron and Magnedon that were seemingly minding their own business, and didn't really deserve to be killed. The MAT were more 'trigger happy' when it came to monsters showing up on the radar, even if they were nowhere near human populated cities. There were episodes where incidents were provoked by the MAT or human intervention, resulting in an attack (e.g. Stegon was awoken by the MAT explosives, Dangar was distrubed the same way, and Oxter came out seeking revenge when two scientists stole the baffalo bones of his companions). The MAT would have been better off fighting some of Ultraman Leo's foes that were mostly associated evil aliens seeking to destroy or invade earth, rather than hunting down random monsters in their own territory.
