Godzilla

[BetterOffShred]

I guess I'm somewhat disappointed they had to cast "11".. but I should expect to see those kids in everything for a few years. Other than that.. looks dope as shit!!

[resincum]

you know I'll be seeing this shit on XD

Wrong. What sets Godzilla apart is the core cannon which is Godzilla is a metaphor/symbolism of man's misunderstanding of the consequences and misuse of atomic technology: Godzilla represents the big green monster to stomps us into oblivion caused by our own arrogance. All godzilla movies that do this are good, all the ones that don't are just monster movies which are enjoyable in their own right, so technically there are no bad godzilla movies but some are better than others.

might I ask what your opinion is of Godzilla in the context of King Ghidora?

Though I wouldn't disagree with your opinion on a lot of the Godzilla-as-a-bad-dude movies, I'm really interested in how you'd view daBigG-as-a-good-guy movies.

Ah but if you think about it is he/she/it really ever a bad guy? are you seen as a bad guy if you stomp on a ant hill? even if you didn't mean to? The ants might think so, they might write stories about the huge evil nike that crushed their city, killing their children, wreaking their favorite fast-food joint.. You were just walking across your yard.. they were just in the way, you stepped on the anthill. and then they got out their military and they BIT YOU! so you stomped harder! and got out the ant spray.. That's really all Godzilla does in the "is bad guy ones"

You also have to think on the concept from the original movie and the name origin Gojira which is talked about as folklore which could hint into traditional Japanese "monsters" or gods which are not good or evil bot forces or nature.. sometimes they are helpful sometimes they SMASH

Then you have pop culture where lets face it Godzilla is an awesome badass monster, badass monsters are seen as cool! look at our classic monsters like vampires and werwolves and frankenstein, at first they were horror movies but now they are cartoons and breakfast cereals.. This where the caractor of the thing outshines they actual origin story, it happens all the times..

and finally just look at this



Even Cthulhu is safe

so

Well-put sir

Thought this was going to be about Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle, which will be on Netflix in two days or so.

Just finished that one at work today. I enjoyed the first 25% or so of the previous installment, and I watched the rest hoping something would live up to it. I mean, the hyperspace jump sequence in the first one was so long and beautiful...
I also had to "watch" the dub, since I can't read TV and build pedals at the same time, and the american voice actor for Haruo was more like haru-ble. Every fucking line is punctuated with a grunted "h" at the end of it.

I dreamt godzilla attacked Birmingham. At first I was like "what a hassle, have to keep an eye on this situation" and then as the dream progressed I got closer to the abject terror you'd experience if you actually saw a kaiju.

I really dig the universe that Skull Island built up and I really loved Shin Godzilla so i'm hoping this is good. Might not rush out day 1, but it already seems way more compelling than 2014 Godzilla.

[BitchPudding]

Im so hype for Ghidorah. Really interested in how the main Kaiju are gonna be portrayed. According to the director they're maybe other monsters showing up, but he aint saying shit other than that.

Regardless, MY DICK OUT.
