That rocks! I love Final Wars. Just terrific to see some Godzilla Toho suit action.

That short Godzilla vs Gamera CG thing was pretty cool too.

Also Wayforward teased that they're doing something Godzilla related on their Twitter, since they were the developers for Godzilla: Domination on the GBA(one of the hidden gems on that system) that probably means one of the following; 1) an HD Remaster/Remake of Domination, 2) a new Godzilla game in the style of Domination

It's sold exclusively via Premium Bandai's Japan website, but there is a chance that it'll make it to the American P-Bandai page as well since the Godzilla Ultima did that. But if it's Japan only expect toy places will have them with a mark up.

edit: here's the Premium Bandai page; you'll need a vpn to check it out. Pre-orders start November 5th https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000165274/

The G Fest livestream was mostly about all the new figures which were about to be released and there was at least one Mecha G I spotted in there, the livestream is over 7 hours long but if you click through you'll spot it eventually. They also have a lot of footage of the new Hedorah vinyl figure colour variants, plus several long segments about the little old Japanese men who manufacture them by hand in their workshops if you're a fan of vinyl figures.

They also have a long behind the scenes doco about the new Godzilla vs Hedorah short starting at 7:01:00

Don't forget that they announced that next year is the Gigan 50th- so there will definitely be Gigan items next year. Dig the logo!

I watched GvK for the first time since it was new. Much lowered expectations didn't help and it was still crushingly dull, feeling more like a 3 hour movie than an hour and 40 one. The only particularly inspired bit was the neon city.

I do think you could have gotten two decent movies out of the general framework and if you split the two completely separate halves apart. Millie Bobby Brown's group and Godzilla finding out about Mechagodzilla, with a breezy Godzilla vs. Gigan feel. Keep the Ghidorah head but actually something with it. Then a movie just about Kong getting to the Hollow Earth. It would retreat Skull Island a lot because there are only 2 Kong stories so they'd have to lean in and get really weird with it.

If you really have to bring Kong and Godzilla together, you put in references to space aliens in both of those movies, then you get the next one with Godzilla, Kong and Mothra going up against the aliens.

It's weird. When Godzilla vs. Kong was released the consensus was it was a major step up from KOTM though still a messy film, but I feel quite the opposite. I think both are wildly uneven but KOTM is far better. To me, it's more ambitious thematically and visually and much more watchable. It feels like it's going for something interesting even if it doesn't always hit the mark, whereas GvK seems more content to just hit the ceiling of saturday morning cartoon but go no further.

I don’t think that’s a bad thing I guess re Godzilla vs Kong

I really love KOTM. I don’t know. It is stupid but that’s what’s fun about it. Stupid. Weird. Ambitious. And messy.

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

GvK feels like such a small film in comparison, to me. Criticize KOTM all you want but it really felt like it sold the scope of the story it was telling and everything it did involving the kaiju felt appropriately spectacular, but GvK has a weird mundanity to it.

Seems like a lot was cut out, so I imagine they cut back because they were scared due to the critical and box office response for KOTM

History shows, again and again, how nature points out the folly of man.
with about eight months of hindsight, it's very weird and kinda embarrassing that GvK got as good a reception as it did. movie was a mess.

No its not

Don't get me wrong, its a dumb movie. Its a movie that DARES you to be mad at it for being so brazenly stupid

But its also a movie I think a lot of people needed. It was the first big real blockbuster since the pandemic got started, and what a lot of people needed was something dumb and fun and loud and colorful

It was the movie of the moment, and there's nothing weird or embarrassing about it.

KOTM wanted to have scope but then undermined it by killing any sense of distance or geography or time. A story that literally spanned the planet felt like it took place over a couple of hours (their time, obviously, not ours).

I agree. KOTM had like three good parts and a bunch of bad parts, GvK had no good parts.

GvK had Godzilla literally tear a hole through the planet to the core just so he could yell poo poo at Kong.

The movie absolutely owns and is unapologetic about how stupid it is.
