Looks really good! Pretty funny that they got John C. Reily to wear a jacket with the words "For Your Health" on the back. Dunno how intentional that was. Also, John Goodman. Always a delight to see him.

The "good group of boys" line convinced me it totally was.

So I just saw this and uh

what the gently caress was that final shot of his tail supposed to be? :stare:


I also think this is the Godzilla movie with the most amount of unintentional hilarity in it. Just wow, I couldn't stop laughing through some of it.

:confused: What makes you think it was unintentional?

I literally do not understand what people love about Final Wars. It just seems like ultra-cynical stupidity by and for people who can only appreciate classic Godzilla through the lens of "so bad it's good lol".

Agreed. The Godzilla series as a whole peaked in Showa. Every iteration since has been a pale imitation.

Final Wars is the Ready Player One of kaiju films.

That movie is shameful but almost worth it for how Toho later worked Zilla into the official canon. :D

Final Wars is worse that G98. :colbert:

This bears repeating:

I expect to be disappointed once again when Godzilla doesn't literally eat the Earth whole.

Nobody's talking about the best part of Anizilla 3, where The MC has a vision in which Mothra saves Hiroshima by destroying the Enola Gay, which is also Ghidorah.

I'm still disappointed that Megaguirus wasn't a mega Anguirus.

Really want to see G fight a shai-hulud now.

Yeah I agree. It sucks

2014 is still the only monsterverse to really feel like a proper Godzilla film. Like if you resurrected Ishiro Honda and gave him a modern Hollywood budget he might make something similar.

Between King Of The Monsters and Versus Kong, there's maybe enough material for a single decent movie.

New standalone Rodan please, just 90 minutes of clowning on the USAF.

The really should have gone for the classic "MechaGodzilla disguised as Godzilla doing evil stuff to make him look bad" plot.

i have minor quibbles with this but sure, close enough

(Christianity is significant in Evangelion as a kind of shorthand for "transcendent religion" and the show's skepticism towards such; the particulars of Christian theology, or for that matter Jewish mysticism since there's way more of that than there is Christianity, not so much)

It's funny how people always criticize Eva for basically just doing with Christianity what western media does with literally every non-Christian religion.

It's neat how Mothra is never defeated or even harmed at all. Se just rampages with impunity until she gets what she wants.

The only good thing I can say about Monarch is that the mole monster is a cool design. Of course it barely gets to do anything. All the monster scenes feel completely perfunctory. Whoa, 30 seconds of Godzilla's back!
