That TV spot stuns even on a phone screen. Don't read the leaks (nothing in the trailers contradicts them, bummer I lacked self control)

It's still weird to me to see the monsters move like animals instead of all stiff like they did when they were people in rubber monster suits. I mean it looks cool but I'm so used to ghidorahs heads being all wiggly.

Splint Chesthair posted:Has any kaiju movie ever used CGI just for the destruction? Like, the monster is suitmation on a miniature set, but the buildings it stomps on are CGI? Sort of. Shin Godzilla would be the closest, as they primarily used a giant puppet animatronic with CGI touch ups Ultraman the Next kind of did what you're asking- in that movie, the monsters were done with practical effects, but digitally placed in the 'real' city, to make it look more realistic. It actually looks pretty drat good. The main thing is that a lot of people who were against CGI monsters, were against them coming from Japan primarily. Because Japan's CGI is...not great. Even with Shin, it's REAL obvious when they're using CGI VS the practical effects. It's not as bad as it used to be though. And Tsuburaya would have 100% used CGI if it had been available to him at the time. The man was a master of special effects and used literally everything he could to make something look right. Puppets, suits, stop motion, actual animation, live animals, whatever worked. He would have been ecstatic about modern special effects and all of the possibilities that could be had with them

Burkion posted:They're going PRETTY hard on the Ghidorah Is Satan angle Godzilla literally sleeps in the subterranean ruins of a pagan city that worshipped Pazuzu. Like, at the very least the conflict of the film is a Manichaen clash between two trinities, so the question really becomes which trinity is actually a unified force that represents a fundamental, revolutionary re-ordering of society and its values, and which one is just a proxy for managing the status quo.

K. Waste posted:Godzilla literally sleeps in the subterranean ruins of a pagan city that worshipped Pazuzu. See, I think you're looking at it from the wrong angle. The status quo isn't something that any of these guys give a poo poo about. You're making humanity too important to them. Keep in mind, Godzilla brings hurricanes when he just makes landfall. He wiped out more of that one Hawaiian island than the Male Muto did. The conflict between Rodan, Mothra and Godzilla VS Ghidorah isn't one of status quo VS reordering of society It's one of 'total destruction' and 'coexistence' Ghidorah actively hates things that are not him. He is seeking to raze the Earth and all who live on it and doesn't give a poo poo about what it does to the balance of nature. Godzilla is a force for the Earth itself, to keep the balance of the planet and ensure it keeps going. They go beyond Good and Evil. With Godzilla, humanity can survive but would be forced to adapt. Ghidorah would wipe away humanity and all other living things. It's kind of like the Mutos VS Godzilla- the MUTOS were a danger to nature itself if they had been allowed to breed and spread. Ghidorah is just more malicious in his destruction of nature itself. Mothra so far seems to be the only actually benevolent entity. Godzilla brings hurricanes Rodan creates tornadoes Ghidorah IS the storm Mothra seems to just be the light

Son of Sam-I-Am posted:I haven't seen Pacific Rim, but I thought the MUTOs in G14 nailed this feel pretty well. Pacific Rim did it pretty well, and its kaiju designs are quite solid. The three kaiju you spend the most time with, Knifehead, Leatherback, and Otachi, all fit the mold pretty well - Leatherback in particular is basically just a giant gorilla. Otachi would be a little harder with her prehensile tail, but I did notice that the moment Otachi's wings come out she stops using one set of her arms to keep the quadrupedal air. The other kaiju are also pretty easy: Onibaba and Skunner fit easily into 'guy in a suit' looks, Slattern's a generic quadruped. Aside from Otachi's prehensile tail, the only one that would give me pause is Ryujin because of the way he moves. He's a kaiju-sized crocodile and his movements are very clearly based on one as he swims. I don't know how easy that would be for a human to replicate. As for Uprising... I have no memory of any kaiju in that movie. I think the big one was a quadruped in the advertising?

DeimosRising posted:The mutos were just animals. How were they dangerous to “nature itself” Overbreeding and overrunning the ecosystem without any natural predators around to keep them in check. Like any invasive species, they would have done a lot of harm without meaning to. This is why I specified Ghidorah was actively malicious, compared to them. There's also a very real subtext of Godzilla getting revenge on the MUTOs for what they did to his kind ages ago, if you want to play that angle. Godzilla basically doesn't give a poo poo about human society, because society rises and falls all the time. He rests on the bones of one old civilization, and should the humans gently caress themselves over he'll rest on their bones as well.

In any case invasive species are not a danger to nature/earth, they just change local ecosystems that humans fetishize as static in an ahistorical way

Ultraman the Next is really interesting because it basically works as a stand alone movie, and also is basically the template for what a proper 'Hollywood' Ultraman film should probably be. I love it a whole bunch but it doesn't tend to get talked about much because it's a prequel to (the equally amazing) Ultraman Nexus and people get caught up on that and think that they'd have to watch the show after, when the two barely have anything to do with one another until way later.

Ultraman the Next's opening sequence is one of my favorites in any movie. Also that main theme is baller as hell. Speculation: I'm getting the vibe that by the end of this movie, Legendary is going to go real real hard into a Godzilla heel-turn. Lines like (Incoming trailer dialogue spoilers) "Good thing he's on our side." and "We've got to free Godzilla." seem to point to a plot where mankind overreaches and Godzilla, likely the last of the core monster cast left alive, and possibly exploited by some of these tiny bastards, and absolutely exhausted and enraged after whatever the gently caress happens with Ghidorah finally runs its course decides "gently caress IT. THEY HAVE RABIES. KILL 'EM ALL." Which, I mean, yeah. If we're going to do Godzilla vs Kong, makes sense. Godzilla's got the dramatic range to be the straight up villain. Kong, at his most villainous, never really gets past the mold of "giant and violent, but ultimately sympathetic even-while-murdering-dozens-of-literal-US-war-veterans animal." Fuckin' babyface-rear end ape. Glue a bunch of golf balls to John Cena and give him the Andy Serkis treatment. Kong's going to win and I'm going to loving hate it but I'll still give the movie all of my money and watch it at least once a month for the rest of my life.

I’m still holding out hope that it ends up being Godzilla & Kong VS Mechagodzilla. Humanity gets the impression we need a more controllable Godzilla of our own after the events of King of All Monsters, and the big bois have to right our wrongs. They should have a tussle when they first meet but I don’t need to know who “wins”
