Choco1980 posted:It really is the perfect valentine to the entire first fifty years of the series, despite being its own story in its own universe. They even give a jab at the 1998 film. Pay attention to the human villain's name. One of my favorite parts of GMK is near the beginning, they make an offhand remark about a recent monster attack in New York that the Americans claim was Godzilla, but Japanese scientists are sure it wasn't.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Godzilla 2000 did this too I think. Or whichever one it was that came out after Zilla. GMK was 2001 and G2K was 1999 I think; it was probably in the can before they had time to judge the American film. It's been a long time since I've seen either, though.

Sir Kodiak posted:Or the opposite. Just go, nukes are great, Godzilla needs to get over it. Then they team up and Godzilla chucks a Jaeger at the real villain and blows him up. This is a concept a Japanese film company is really likely to go with. I like it.

Tezcatlipoca posted:Mothra is still a giant moth, just like Godzilla is a giant dinosaur. You're acting like this is some taxonomic thing. It isn't. The character Mothra is a giant moth, her name literally means big moth Unless "-ra" means "big" in Japanese, no, it does not literally mean "big moth."

Sometimes i open up a bunch of threads in different tabs and I don't pay close enough attention. I kept thinking this was the MST3K thread because I was reading it as Future War.

I saw G2K in theaters, the only one I've been able to do so. I had a good time and I've always liked that movie, and that's probably my favorite G suit as well.

Cythereal posted:IIRC, the idea is that tens of millions of years ago during the time of dinosaurs, aliens invaded Earth using Blob-style monsters that absorb local fauna and adapt and evolve into ever more deadly organic weapons. There was a sentient civilization at that time, that stole the mutating/evolving goop and applied it to a T-Rex, creating Godzilla. Godzilla wiped out the alien invasion and was returned to stasis alongside the original alien probe, and the precursor civilization was wiped out when the asteroid ended the age of dinosaurs. This sounds in isolation like a top-tier G film.

Ghost Leviathan posted:That's pretty much the source of that 'Godzilla Threshold' thing in tvtropes; when the situation has degraded to the point where awakening a sleeping Godzilla has become a reasonable response. It seems rather fitting given the themes of nuclear weapons the franchise is rooted in. This is how Trump got elected imo.

Paper Kaiju posted:Funny, my opinion is the reverse of this. GMK is the better movie (although I still like G2K well enough), but the suit is a step backwards if you ask me. The snout is really square and he's got a bad case of Walmart shopper's gunt.

Cythereal posted:Reminds me of Del Toro talking about the design of the kaiju in Pacific Rim. One of his specific rules for the kaiju was that they had to look like a guy in a suit could play one. I haven't seen Pacific Rim, but I thought the MUTOs in G14 nailed this feel pretty well.

Wizchine posted:Maybe the military attempts to backstab Godzilla at the end of the movie because they decide we don't want to be his pets and he causes too much damage bumbling around, and an angry Godzilla has declared jihad on mankind setting up Godzilla vs Kong. That's a negative on Kong. There's got to be more to it, or else I don't know how they expect it to excite people more than this one.

GATOS Y VATOS posted:Yeah as much as I complain about them, they are fun in their own ways. I don't know if I can say if I either like them or not, but they certainly are spectacle. Some of the designs of Godzilla himself are goddamned amazing, making him more of a super animal at times which I really like. Millennium Godzilla is one of my favorite suits ever; it's loving WILD. if you're talking about G2K then hard agree, I always lamented they changed it so soon for GMK. better movie but worse suit by far
