No way this is real. How do you can describe iridescent angel wing Mothra as "edgy".

Not to mention this particular Mothra lights up so drat much she fires lasers from the eye-spots on her wings.

I can only imagine it's because she was given big stabby arms?

But that's just keeping consistent with the MUTOs lead so I don't even know

The art team for the movie also talked about it in an interview: they want Mothra physically throwing down with Godzilla, Rodan, and Ghidorah, so they consciously gave her arms to do the throwing down with.

That's a shame, there's some beautiful shots and great Big G moments in there.

Godzilla looking tired as hell after he merks a MUTO is one of my favorite. You can almost hear the "I'm getting to old for this poo poo" line.

2014 Godzilla bothered me because I live in the SF Bay Area and they got some basic geography things so loving wrong it's obnoxious.

Also, I think a cardboard cutout of Aaron Taylor-Johnson is a better actor than Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

Yeah, I think the worst complaint you could lay at his feet is that he is not Godzilla, but is in the movie a lot. Which is not quite his fault.

The bridge scene with the MUTO is amazing, I thought. Even though there is no Godzilla, at all.

edit: This one, not the Godzilla bridge scene.

Yeah, it's my own personal hang up and I just really dislike him. I do think it's amusing that him and Elizabeth Olsen are married in this and then siblings a year later in Age of Ultron.

As for the geography problem, that only stood out since I live in the area, but some of the decisions made zero sense.

My memory is a bit hazy of the film, but I thought I remember that Elizabeth Olsen mentions the children's bus evacuating from the Financial District (which is right next to the bay bridge) heading toward Oakland (which is at the other end of the bay bridge) but instead they decide to use the Golden Gate Bridge (which is the opposite direction of Oakland) because they Golden Gate Bridge is iconic and they wanted an excuse to show Godzilla destroy it with the tension of a school bus on it.



Godzilla was coming from the ocean to the west, so the Golden Gate Bridge is literally the stupidest option when there are multiple bridges across the bay that are protected from the ocean by land and that made me mad at a movie.

pretentious fuckwit who isn't half as literate or insightful or clever as he thinks he is
Nobody who doesn't live in SF knows about any bridges that aren't the Golden Gate. Reality is the first casualty of film making.

There's a geographical gently caress up in Jurassic Park and Spielberg rightly said "gently caress it I don't care this is cooler." Just attribute Godzilla 2014's geography problems to being one of the many nods to Spielberg.

Oh absolutely. For most people it isn't a problem, but since it's set here, it immediately made me say "Hey.... wait a moment..." and broke my immersion. But what it comes down to is that you don't set a film in San Francisco without showing the Golden Gate Bridge. That's all most people know about here. That and cable cars.

Honestly, that doesn't bother me so much. I think the reason the Godzilla thing bothers me more is because we literally don't need to have that school bus on the Golden Gate Bridge. Like, we can still see Godzilla destroy it and have all that drama. But that was just one where you can very clearly see the writer's hand forcing the moment of drama.

It's pretty uncomfortable to watch. The main reason I posted it here is because I was curious how people felt about this. Up til now I assumed people liked Brie Larson and her likeability is literally why she is Captain Marvel in the first place, but I don't really follow this kind of thing.

You'd think they'd learn by now considering the thing that crushed Hellboy 2 was being released a couple weeks before The Dark Knight.

Then again, the new Hellboy was doomed from the start. They should've never tossed Del Toro and Pearlman's pitch for a 3rd one to end their storyline.

My favorite instance of this will always be a couple of weeks after Hellboy 2.

The X-Files: I Want to Believe was released in theaters the same day as The Dark Knight. And that's a movie that's hilarious levels of forgotten/people don't even know it exists defeat.

I watched Captain Marvel and thought she was good but otherwise had never seen her in anything and kind of hated hearing every nerd on earth fan casting this person for every role like I was supposed to know who that was

Brie Larson was phenomenal in Room and deserved her Best Actress award, and also her comments that are pissing off chuds are entirely correct, but I cannot bring myself to give even half of a poo poo about Captain Marvel, the movie or the character.
