When TV shows about time travel bring in historical figures, they tend to pick names the average viewer will instantly recognize: your JFKs, your H.G. Wellses, your Rosa Parkses. So I was quite surprised to learn that an episode of Legends of Tomorrow, "Tagumo Attacks!!!", was going to feature Eijiro Ozaki as director Ishiro Honda, a legend to kaiju fans and few others. I figured a CW superhero show would favor dramatic storytelling over historical accuracy, and it certainly did. The curious thing is that the episode would have really been onto something if it had focused on one of Godzilla's other Founding Fathers.
