Tezcatlipoca posted:You know Godzilla movies had those kinds of shots decades before Evangelion right? Yeah, like, the reason Evangelion looks the way it does is because Anno is a giant loving nerd who loves Godzilla and Ultraman, and Evangelion was a love letter to tokusatsu.

You'd think after the billionth time a Godzilla movie is the subject of a "too much talking not enough stompy monsters" hot take, someone might realize that the monsters are traditionally there in a Godzilla movie to facilitate the characters, not the other way around

Antti posted:I would totally be down for a kaiju movie that treats the situation painstakingly realistically and focuses on the political and leadership challenges such a scenario imposes, but it sounds like this one doesn't even do that right, and I'm also probably the only person who would love that kind of movie. Counterpoint: it's loving Kotaku

DeimosRising posted:I don't get it. Is this a song from Evangelion or something? I haven't seen it. I do note it says something about "The 19th Angel: Godzilla" and I know there's something about angels in Evangelion so Decisive Battle is one of the iconic themes from Evangelion and generally played either over a montage of NERV doing some Thunderbirds poo poo or the buildup of a fight before poo poo really hits the fan.

Iirc didn't it come out a few years ago that 98 was pitched as a much more traditional Godzilla movie, but toho refused to let them either use any of the classic monsters or create new ones?

Vince MechMahon posted:I bought and watched Shin Godzilla last night and it's one of the most batshit crazy movies I've ever seen from a film making point of view. Like, all those scenes of people like, doing science that are shot and edited and scored like a Michael Bay action scene, and the sound design in general, just...loving insane. I loved it. Anno has a very fun and intriguing style and I sincerely hope he does more live action stuff after he finally kills evangelion.

My guess is that the angle is global warming melted the ice keeping Ghidorah contained, therefore she doesn't feel bad about freeing Rodan and Mothra and them running loose on humanity in the process. The character's reactions are because jesus christ lady these things are gonna kill us all.

I highly doubt that Toho signed a deal that prevents then from using one of their flagship IPs however the gently caress they please, the lack of followup to Shin probably has more to do with Anno wanting to work on his own projects again/he ruffled feathers by coming into Shin Godzilla and deciding to actually direct it instead of churning out NHK filler like the initial plan.

Oral history goes back a lot longer than people think, native Americans have seemingly accurate historical descriptions of the formation of crater lake in oregon 8.000 years ago and Australian aboriginals have stories retelling confirmed geological events from over 10,000 years ago. I have zero trouble believing that, in-unicerse, oral history goes back long enough to remember the last appearances of Ghidorah, especially since Skull Island features a culture of seemingly immortal humans.

Saw this movie and thought it was loving incredible, and I really gotta give the animators credit for being able to communicate so effectively that Gidorah is the single smuggest piece of poo poo in the known universe. also extremely happy they kept his original origin of being a Terraforming alien hellmonster, was worried they might chicken out on that.

My interpretation of the whole nuke thing: nuclear weapons in the west are seen less as a weapon and more a symbol of power, a testament of a country's status in the world. Having nukes is a sign that you're worth taking seriously, and having The Most Nukes is a sign that you're king poo poo. The Monsterverse has, from my perspective, taken the stance that mankind's folly is thinking that they are in control of the world, rather than just a part of it, and most of the conflict in the three movies comes from humanity trying to force their will on the world and getting smacked the gently caress down in response, such as trying to contain and destroy Godzilla and the MUTOs, rolling into Skull Island and bombing the poo poo out of it like they own the place, or trying to manipulate the Titans with the Orca. Success in these movies has always been tied to a willingness to reject that human egoism and accept the power of nature's champions, rather than trying to force human will to the forefront. The nuke scene is a synthesis of these two ideas. Once again, mankind has hosed things up by kramering into the middle of poo poo, this time by dropping the Oxygen Destroyer on Godzilla and nearly killing him. Serizawa delivering the nuclear warhead to Godzilla is not merely a powerup, but symbolically, Humanity is taking the symbol of their absolute power, a weapon that cracks the atom, and returning it to nature. Like returning Excalibur to the lake is the symbol of the end of King Arthur's reign, delivering the nuclear bomb to godzilla essentially signifies humanity ceding its dominance to the King of the Monsters.

I have no problem imagining Kong vs Godzilla because, in light of him straight up using improvised martial arts in the climax of Skull Island, I basically expect Kong to approach the size difference in largely the same way as Mad Dog from The Raid handles it

I imagine that if they’re doing the mechaG in a godzilla suit beat then it’s not gonna be that the real godzilla only shows up in the end, but that it’s a mix of kong fighting real and mecha-G over the film until they realize what’s going on

The funniest parts of OG Blob are the ridiculously jazzy theme song and the end unintentionally implying that the blob will be freed by climate change, a bit I found so funny that I really hope the next remake uses that as its hook.

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.
