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!!

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"RubenTheDev wrote:might I ask what your opinion is of Godzilla in the context of King Ghidora?Mudfuzz wrote: 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.
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.
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![]()
