wow yeah haha it was such a cool idea. In fact the scenes where they explored like Ren exploring his connection to his father, how that connects to mechagodzilla, and his slow corruption by Ghidorah's ghost are some of the best human drama in the series!!!
IF THEY EXISTED.
The idea of Mechagodzilla being piloted by the son of the man who sacrificed himself to save Godzilla while inside Ghidorah's skull with the conciousness of said skull eventually taking over said giant robot to make it evil is so insane and yet it goes so hard
We got 3 scenes of godzilla being silly from the 60s and 70s and somehow that means modern blockbusters can have prominent weird/bad looking cgi and not face criticism
None of the Reiwa Era projects have an OUNCE of "giving fans what they want"
The idea that Toho cares about "what fans want" is simply ridiculous.
Fans aren't "entitled" to anything, you either like what you get or don't.
And if you think you ARE entitled?
Grow up.
The prehistoric planet season 2 trailer HAS to release to within the next 41 hours and 7 minutes.
If it doesn't, I will ELIMINATE this baby triceratops
Still taking a break but dropping in to remind everyone that by “this week” they may have meant a week from the announcement. If I’m remembering correctly, that was on Tuesday. So we might not be getting whatever they’re planning to show until tomorrow or the next day!
MonsterVerse: Heroic figure rejuvenated by a nuke to save the day while flanked by the military.
Reiwa: Irradiated vengeful spirit wreaking havoc in US-occupied, post-WWII Japan.
Wild that these are running concurrently. The duality of Godzilla I suppose.
Since people are complaining about Godzilla being campy in the MV, I think we should start a trend of sharing our favorite campy moments to show Godzilla doesn't have to be serious!
Here's my favorite silliest Godzilla moment:
So, apparently the new thing is it’s been leaked that Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire will be lighter, campier, more fantastic in tone, pretty much like GVK was… and people are upset about that.
Rightly so, Godzilla has never been silly or ridiculous.
Culture war bullshit has ruined anything connected to gender.
20 years ago if you said "The 1954 godzilla could've been a female" it would've been a neat lil piece of trivia but overall harmless and forgettable.
Nowadays, it makes manchildren experience 2000 9/11s

Notice how the fun kaiju movie that treats their kaiju with actual weight and presence is universally praised.
Whilst the fun kaiju movie that treats their kaiju like action figures is universally ignored.
Honestly yeah this is what I don't get about the "scale vs fun" arguments cause it's not like they're mutually exclusive. For this entire argument to even happen everyone has to forget Pacific Rim is a thing.
@KrustaceanPlays
Imagine the monsterverse but like this:
First movie: Godzilla 2014
Second movie 5 years later: Godzilla x Kong The New Empire
Also imagine if Bryan cranston was alive in all of 2014, but then he died in a helicopter crash halfway through GxK and wasn't that important overall
Speaking of the monsterverse...
There's literally no reason for future movies to be American centric.
There's titans all over world, and the kaiju we've seen can travel across all of it, plus they have mythological roots.
It's just asking for a more diverse cast.
The only constant of the monsterverse was the idea of "okay so the last movie got criticized, so instead of building on it and improving we're just gonna do something entirely different and make whole different mistakes"
I....I have no words
The concept artist and creator of MV Mechagodzilla just posted a shitpost of Mechagodzilla fortnite dancing to Among Us Drip music....
What even is life
Shame on you, Cali.
Nothing but shame.
You know nothing of what this man went through. But instead of learning about Honda's devastating time in the war, you continue your ignorance and use your false ideas to spread hatred.
I pray that anyone who loves you reconsiders it
mans really went "i dont want to work on this movie so instead of dropping the offer imma be petty and play around with the material so they fire me"
Then they never fired him.
why do people like this guy again?
Every Godzilla Era is remembered for certain aspects and influence future mediums for years to come.
In say 10 years time, how do you think the Reiwa era (plus the monsterverse) will be remembered? What aspects do you think will carry on with the franchise?
I can tell you right now, this is probably my favorite KOTM CGI shot. Because in this shot of Ichi, it looks like they used and animatronic. It just looked so realistic as if god forbid it was a cgi model. And to think people are taking KOTM CGI for granted.
GOD FUCKING DAMN IT THEY HAD THE INGREDIENTS TO COOK BUT THEY DIDNT EVEN TURN THE STOVE ON THEY JUST SHOWED YOU ALL THE INGREDIENTS AND A PICTURE OF THE FINAL MEAL AND SAID "AINT THAT COOL" BITCH DO SOMETHING WITH IT!!!! GGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I'm absolutly fucking devastated to learn the news concerning a specific paleoartist.
Sickening, how could you even think those views??
I'm ruined jesus christ
@the3rdjp
it feels like some people are only saw 10 getting his happy ending in the final scene when, for me, I saw 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 finally getting their happy ending
Honestly it's pretty amazing we got Godzilla vs Kong AND Godzilla Singular Point in the same year.
Because now instead of having to wait through the year loving/hating one medium, both sides of the fandom can experience both emotions for two mediums!
Universal shit at marketing, Primitive War throwing a tantrum at its own consumer base unprovoked, Mattel literally taking down the accounts & channels of the very people who positively review & talk about their products.
They've really lost their minds
Seeing people completly accept GxK and what it presents boggles my mind.
"We have diversity!" would only work if GxK was in a *vacuum*.
But it's not.
This is a series, there is supposed to be a consistent characterization/presentation, or a natural progression

Orcas have sunk 3 boats in Europe and appear to be teaching others to do the same. Scientists think a traumatized orca initiated the assault on boats after a "critical moment of agony" and that the behavior is spreading among the population.
Hey paleofans and paleontologists, have you ever had something like this happen? Finding out that a common paleontology thing is shocking to normal people
The original 1954 Godzilla film has received massive praise over the years (deservedly so) and is beloved by countless with only some minor critiques.
This leaves an interesting question.
Does anybody actually dislike the original Godzilla film?
Tbh I really wish the Monsterverse stopped doing the whole "strand of saliva" thing. It's really noticeable in GvK but I'm pretty sure it has been a thing since 2014. Water doesn't work like that at those sizes, it just fucks the sense of scale
End of day, alot of young folk are going to see this movie and become fans of Kaiju media. No matter what, that is always good.
People are watching godzilla and kong on the big screen, side by side, and that's a gift.
Yeah my friend Joey binged watched these movies once and now he hunts gay Mexicans.
Doc Kaiju really exposing the true source of America's right wing issues, a savior 😌🙏🙏🙏
@MonsterIslandB
Nice attempt at defending the probably racist/xenophobic fans of only the American films. I love all the Godzilla films minus 1998 (though the animated series was good). My criticism is of so-called fans who really only like the American films.
If they make a movie with Hedorah directed by Wingard...He better lock the fuck in because it would be a massive waste to use Hedorah and NOT go hard on the commentary.
Like...you see the world we live in??
Hedorah is not just some rando kaiju, he best reflects our modern world
I'm not one to sing praises about this series either, it ain't my cup of tea.
But this kind of shit has happened TWICE this month
Some of you need to grow up and learn the difference between real criticism, and straight up bullying/harassment.
It's NEVER okay to do the latter.
By no means is it a perfect film, but what makes KOTM stand out to me is its portrayal of the big 4.
The first time "Titan" is coined in the Monsterverse, KOTM follows that definition appropriately.
These aren't just giant monsters, these are *deities*
Fuck it, im curious.
What do yall see in king of the monsters that i dont? Ive seen so many people act like gvk and kotm are wildly different movies and that ones an artful gem, when to me they just fall into the same ballpark? What makes KOTM so special to you?
