Stan Lee to blame for the Power Rangers?
This thing is so outrageous that you would have to assume, upon hearing it, that it cannot be anything but a joke. The fact is, somehow Japan got a hold of the Spiderman franchise and added that special, Japanesie-touch via bird-henchmen that go "Whoosh!" and a giant robot named, naturally, the Marveller. It brings to mind a common phrase that was said whenever Kit was around: Because their is nothing that can't be made better with giant robots. We all stand corrected. View the film here, and enjoy the subtitles, which are slightly embellished. Note for fellow firefoxers: I couldn't view it until I switched to Internet Explorer ;_;
