Of course, the only worthy adversary for Planet Godzilla would be something capable of fighting a planet-Unicron. VolticSurge fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Nov 19, 2017 |

I'd seriously probably end up just spending all my money on the capsule machines before even looking at other merchandise. Also, do I see a poster of the Shin Genome chart?

Reviews are coming in for Planet. Overall, it's pretty solid, with the main complaints being it being too short (89 minutes) making it feel more like a feature length anime episode, which yeah, part of a trilogy and it was originally going to be a TV series before Shin got big, and that the story is serviceable, but more of a way to get from action scene to action scene.

Tezcatlipoca posted:Yeah Big Moth, Gorilla-Whale and Big Shrimp are truly inspired names. Gojira does not mean "Gorilla-Whale," it means Gojira. The name is etymologically derived from gorira and kujira, but the name itself is not a semantic extension of those two words. Similarly, Mosura does not mean "Big Moth" and Ebirah does not mean "Big Shrimp." The names are, rather than merely cosmetic or descriptive, quite personal, identifying the monster as a character. Their names refer to something, but the reference is not the point. Words have meaning. Waffleman_ posted:Monarch are scientists, not screenwriters, dammit. More specifically, the characterization is that Monarch are bad scientists. They see a giant bat, but the scientific name they give it is about giving the impression of how amazing it is that they discovered this "insane" (how?) predator. They seem confident that the creature extends from a heretofore unknown genus, but why would they equate this genus with scavengers? How could they possibly know that all the so-called genus Vulturus are scavengers? Is that really the most important part of the animal? And what makes it insane? edit: Monster Name Fight   (Yes, I realize the hypocrisy in using two Western monsters, my point still stands that Monarch are the Image Comics of monster-naming organizations.)

HannibalBarca posted:Gorgo makes sense in-universe because it was made up on the spot by some carnival conman Which is why it's mind-boggling that Legendary is going with N.O.T.S.H.I.E.L.D. as the glue that holds these films together. Don't get me wrong, there are some strong scientist characters in giant monster history, but Monarch is specifically the absence of an individual. Its interpretations of what makes something monstrous (and thus desirable) is streamlined of risk. Tezcatlipoca posted:You say this after explaining away the meaning of words. Mothra absolutely means big moth because shes a giant loving moth. It can be a character name too and your false dichotomy is really dumb. Mothra is not a big moth. It (she?) is a primordial god. Words have meaning. If the authors of The Luminous Fairies and Mothra wanted the character's name to be "Big Moth" or "Big Butterfly," they would have used those words. They coined the term "Mosura," because they were not in fact interested in telling a story about a giant moth. Indeed, "moth" is not a Japanese word, and there are no dental fricatives in Japanese, necessitating the approximation - but not native translation - "mosl." Naming the character "Mosura" does not describe a "Big Moth." "Big" is not in the name at all. The name implies something superficially like, but, nonetheless, altogether unlike a moth. I have not explained away meaning. I have explained that you don't know the meaning of a word, because you are conflating the word - or, more precisely, the name - itself with the superficial characteristics that inspired the word, rather than give it definition. It would be like if I named my son Peter, and you thought he was literally some kind of rock. "Man, your wife must still be hurtin'!"

For instance, Giant Robo is a cool-rear end name, even though it's obviously just "Giant Robot" with the T cut off. "Monster X" is a very different name than "The Mystery Monster" in terms of dramatic effect, even though they communicate the same information.

Kaijus having proper names also emphasizes the fact that they're singular entities -- it lines up with the idea that they are closer to gods than animals.

Nah, it's sort of like if we called a monster "Whalerilla." Also, Mothra is a primordial god, but Mothra is also totally just a really fuckoff huge moth.
