Just got back from the movie, was loving DOPE.

The first atomic breath scene was literally loving Ramiel from Evangelion.

The best part was the very Japanese woman with a very Japanese accent playing the natural-born-American-we=swear-you-guys.

I'd imagine Godzilla 2014 also helped to rekindle Western interest in the series.

I wonder if the Criterion release of the original 1954 film a few years before helped too.

It certainly helped for me!

And my interest in THAT was stoked by Pacific Rim, even though I'm hesitant to cite Pacific Rim as a general influence, given its disappointing domestic performance.

Either way, between all that and the upcoming Kong/Godzilla stuff, I think the west is goin' through a bit of a kaiju phase.

Sorry for the dumb joke but yes I know that Anno was not referencing Emmerich's 98 Godzilla with the final shot

Now let us never speak of 98 Zilla again.

I actually kinda liked the most likely unintentional reversal from 98 where the monster's name was introduced as Godzilla, then transliterated into Gojira, rather than the other way around in 98.

Guys, there's a scene in this movie with no major characters and instead just a bunch of interns setting up a conference room, and one of central shots is from the point of view of a swivel chair.

This movie loving rules.

There's a scene in this movie where an underwater tunnel is being evacuated and someone is streaming it on Nico Nico Douga.

This movie kinda rules.

I love Zilla's appearance in Final Wars where it's summoned by an alien to the buttest of rock and gets whomped by Godzilla all in the span of a minute and that's its entire appearance.

Also did I mention that Zilla is intentionally bad CGI because it really puts a ribbon on this scene.

Because they already announced Godzilla vs Kong for 2020, and both movies feature the government agency Monarch. They've been pretty explicit about them being related series.

Hold on, did you say Godzilla? Let's unpack this. Godzilla debuted in 1954, and what do you get when you switch 54? 45, like a smooth Colt .45. And who likes Colt .45s? That's right, Billy Dee Williams. And Billy Dee Williams played Lando Calrissian in Star Wars. Now, what's the opposite of Land-O? Oceania! The region of the Earth that contains New Zealand. Godzilla's going to attack New Zealand next!

Maaaaaan, Funi's release ain't gonna be in nearly as good a package. They'll probably just slap the poster on the front of the case.

Also, Funi will probably record a dub for the movie, which'll hold things up.

"Hey, Mothra. You remember King Kong? 1933, RKO Pictures, an absolute classic. Many would say it birthed the kaiju genre. Think about it, Mothra. None of us would be here if it wasn't for a stop-motion monkey. Makes you think, huh?"

Like I said earlier, Funimation will most likely take the time to put a dub together for the movie. And hey, this'll probably be the best Godzilla dub because Funi uses their stable of professional VAs for their live action dubs.
