The red glow looks kind of like Godzilla vs Destroyah. I wonder if they'll re-use "Godzilla is melting down and will contaminate everything"? Although that would make shooting all the guns while he's in the middle of a city a little silly.

Atrocious Joe posted:I know nothing about either these directors (besides that one cool short) or the Godzilla franchise, so take this with a grain of salt. There is one shot of disaster footage in the trailer that really reminded me of post-2011 tsunami pictures. Godzilla being a walking Fukushima seems sort of an obvious route to go at this point in time. The military being really prepared but ultimately useless could be an Abe criticism, or just following Godzilla conventions. Well those are definitely things you could make a Godzilla movie about. Especially the Abe thing. How many Godzilla movies aren't anti-military or anti-militarist? I guess you could say Against Mechagodzilla and Final Wars (and maybe Tokyo SOS, not sure).

Is there any place I could watch Godzilla Island with english subtitles? I tried youtube, but some guy made a youtube series with the same name that ruins any attempt I've made at searching.

The book I have about Godzilla claims that before vs Destroyah Tokyo newspapers published "interviews" with the two monsters as if they were preparing for a sumo bout.

I thought Edwards dropped out of Godzilla 2 because he was still too busy with Rogue One to handle the early work on it.

Watching Shin with the dub AND the subtitles really shows you how much punch was taken out of the dub. It doesn't feel nearly as biting. It's not necessarily bad, it just feels more conventional.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:I get the impression that the poster isn't using "smoke" colloquially, but rather asking if you could scrape off some bits of Godzilla, load them into a pipe, and smoke them. Given that Godzilla doesn't light himself on fire every time he uses his atomic breath, we can say that he's very hard to ignite. So you probably can't smoke Godzilla. It might be possible to powder and snort him though.

I liked vs King Ghidorah a lot more once someone made clear what's actually going on with the time travel: because the book's author and the Futurans incorrectly believe the 1954 and 1984 Godzillas are the same creature (they are not, as seen in vs Destoryah) they create a time loop where they're responsible for turning Godzillasaurus into Godzilla 1984. The reason he disappears is that the Japanese Naval SDF has always sucked at tracking him underwater.

K. Waste posted:That's more fan-canon. Return of Godzilla is explicitly about the same Godzilla returning, nobody behaves or even passingly bothers to suggest that it's a different organism of the same species. The phenomenon of his appearance isn't treated as remarkable because there's 'another one,' but because it's the same one. The implication of King Ghidorah is that, even into the 23rd century after Godzilla has destroyed Japan, it's still treated as the same unremitting entity. To be fair, regardless of how many Godzillas there are the EEE still didn't actually alter the timeline as far as we can perceive.

Mecha Gojira posted:In the Heisei films in particular, Kaiju seem to have some kind of "life force" that they can pass between one another, like Rodan to Godzilla in v.MG2 or Godzilla to Godzilla Jr. in v.Destroyah. So while a "new" Godzilla will rise from the ashes of the old, those old spirits still inhabit this new body. Note that this is different in the Kiryu films, where OG Godzilla's spirit seems to be part of his skeleton (although why he decided to be OK with being a human robot is something I'm not sure about).

Godzilla 98's TV series would probably top out the Heisei rankings for me. Second would be either Biollante or Destroyer. And really, vs Spacegodzilla over vs Mothra?

Paper Kaiju posted:It's just weird that they describe it like it was a new concept in the vein of the MCU, and not the exact thing they were doing almost 60 years earlier. It's way older than that, but money people THINK it's a new thing. Also the Heisei series is mostly OK so I'm on board with a second one.

Arcsquad12 posted:I'm still waiting for Godzilla to fight a jormungandr-style Sea serpent. Well, you might gently caress up and roll into All Monsters Attack. Looking at the wikipedia page, I just learned that All Monsters Attack was shown as a double bill in the US with Night of the Big Heat, which seems like a version of Signs that makes more sense.

It's got anguirus hanging off if ghidorah's neck and everyone curb stomping him into oblivion. All Monsters Attack is the one where Godzilla is a kid's dream sequence and it's all Minilla, all the time.

mllaneza posted:That's one of my very favorites. I'll recommend it for anyone wanting to get deeper into the series. The stuff with the human characters and evil cult carry the movie nicely, plus a lot of good Godzilla characterization. It would stand up without giant monsters, so adding kaiju turns it all the way up to awesome. It's like a 70s Bond movie with Godzilla. Which I'm now sad isn't a thing.

Karloff posted:Destroy All Monsters could function well enough. Godzilla is just one of many monsters who are mind controlled and set against the cities of earth. Godzilla takes a central focus in pretty much all scenes that he's in because he's the most famous, but you could swap him for something else like the giant condor, and the plot wouldn't need to change much. The rocket is the real sfx star of the movie anyway.

Choco1980 posted:I liked Minilla in Final Wars (then again, I'm one of the few diehard fans that loves Final Wars 100%). I actually gasped out loud the first time I watched it and he let out the full blast atomic breath without help at the end, as that's something he's never done. He's always needed poppa G stomping his tail and stuff to go past the rings. It's a nice way to cap off the era of suitmation. It's sort of like vs Destroyah in that it ends with Godzilla's kid showing his transition into a worthy heir. The problem with Minila's scenes wasn't him, it was the goofy-rear end old guy. Everything else is treated more or less sincerely no matter how crazy, but the old guy felt like the movie knew it was a gag.
