Shin Godzilla #9: TK is burning edition

>>14551996

The movie has a really cool Gyo/Kiyoshi Kurosawa esque ending where after Godzilla is beaten, his tails erupts and little humanoids creatures emerge.

It's left as a cliff-hanger, but who knows if they'll ever follow it up.

>Lasers out of literally every part of his body.
I gotta admit, that's cool.

Which one is that, can you link it?

What's going on in TK? More bans like with the leaks months ago? I'm curious but want to avoid spoilers.

Oh boy Jesus Yamato in Godzilla form.

>>14552501
He means Zilla, the giant iguana.

>strategy meeting BGM from evangelion played in the movie

Since Sagisu is doing the music it could just be a remix.

>>14552582
kek, Anno really loves recycling his music

>>14552632
Shut up about them and let them stew is their own shit. Don't bring it here.

I'm not shocked at all, knowing Anno and how big of a fucking dork he is when it comes to Godzilla. Of course the guy would make him OP.

>>14552509
Well, keep in mind that Shin is not fully-fleshed out. If anything, that's why he's a walking laser light show, because he was trying to do a strong beam but went out in any openings, like in GMK.

>>14552700
Source: my ass.

>>14552444
Now divide Godzilla's screen time in G14 by almost half (to account for various obstructions) and sprinkle it throughout a two hour film (30 min longer than the average G film) where he is merely a side note in what Gareth Edwards designed as a standalone flick. It makes all the difference in the world. It's not just time on screen. It's how it's used.

>>14552715
I know, but at least it would explain why the largest Godzilla would have a laser-pointer breath.

>>14552694
Godzilla has always been op though. He's only canonically died twice Gojira, and Vs. Destroyah. Only in the former does he die because he's been defeated. The best that's usually accomplished is just driving him back into the ocean to come back in a couple years. Hell in GMK it's implied he's able to regenerate from just a beating heart because who needs a nervous system?

>>14552749
Well, GMK was one that was made out of ghost hate, so I wouldn't apply too many rules to it.

>>14552700
Thanks for the new headcannon m8

which board on 2ch is the movie board or Godzilla discussion board? I need to learn more about this tadpole stuff.

An American over at Scifi Japan summarized a bit:
>Opens with an underwater explosion, releasing the red substance. Some of this spills into a tunnel and gets on people.
Still not sure what it was, since my Japanese is minimal at best. The film wasn't "boring", but there are a LOT of meetings/discussions, and if you don't understand Japanese...
Lots of old music themes, and the original roar.
Godzilla starts out tadpole-like, in the sense that he has big eyes, back legs, long tail, and gills. At one point, the gills release the red substance. It kind of crawls it's way through town, just pushing itself with its back legs. Makes a few attempts to stand up, and finally does, sprouting tiny arms. Goes back in the water.
Glows red, then purple, then yellow for a little bit. Breath starts as breath, then fire, then that concentrates into a purple laser as its lower jaw splits in two. Can also fire lasers from its back. After a large attack, he seems to turn to stone, with the color draining and him standing motionless. Later in the movie, it shoots laser from both mouth and tip of tail.
They develop some sort of chemical to freeze Godzilla. They knock him down, then trucks with cranes in them pump the chemical into his mouth. After a couple of attempts, they succeed.
The very last shot is silently panning up Godzilla's frozen body, and you see frozen partial human skeletons reaching out in agony from Godzilla's tail, and many of them have Godzilla's spines.

I actually find the whole baby to adult thing cool. Its a neat concept, especially for Godzilla.

That or Anno just thought it would look cool.

Are there any eva references?

Seeing how it seems like he has multiple forms you think we'll get more figures of him?

>>14552876
Can't wait for the purple variant with split jaw attachment

>>14552876

Yes, the two forms are coming out in August. They are listed as KAIJU A and KAIJU B.

goddamn I want some leaks rn

>>14552884
I'm not sure if Monsterarts will do that. Its not Hesei Godzilla, so the chances of variants are slim.

Hey, I've seen the movie. I don't speak Japanese so I can't really add much more than what's been said, but I will say that the movie is kind of funny. Anno uses a lot of weird zooms into people's faces during the boardroom meetings that made me laugh.

Honestly, those scenes aren't really that boring, even though I couldn't understand them without subtitles, because there's a nice mis-en-scene quality. Almost Tati like.

Honestly, it's an amazingly directed film, although, there is some SHIT CGI, not a ton, but a few shots are Asylum level. I wish there was more tokusatsu, because the best shots of Godzilla are the giant prop and miniatures.

>>14552900
Well they did three variants of 14 to ride the hype train so hoping they do the same with Shin

>>14552905
>although, there is some SHIT CGI
Eh. You watch enough live action Japanese movies, you get used to it.

>>14552905
Tell us more about the ending.

>>14552905
I think everyone knew that, visuals wise, it would be great. God Warrior was stunning, I had no doubts this movie wouldn't be as well.

Jimpluff's Non-Spoiler Review:

In some ways the rumors spread about Shin Gojira are right. There ARE a lot of meetings, and in many ways (contrary to superficially wild changes), this is indeed quite a conventional film.
But what spoilers and script readers don’t tell you is that this film is beautifully shot and edited, dripping with Anno’s masterful touch from scene to scene. It’s fast-paced, frenetic, bitingly satirical, and tense. “Boring meetings” in Anno’s hands are whiplash exchanges of information and rebukes among government officials, and the camerawork adds to the excitement.
The characters are surprising colorful and, even just in meetings, they come alive through action and expressive (or cold, intentionally stiff) delivery depending on the person.
I need subtitles to fully appreciate the dialogue and story, though. This is a talky movie and mostly above my vocabulary level in Japanese. In essence, Japan finds itself a country incapable of handling its own defense and decision-making in an effective way. As things grow more dire, outside pressure mounts, and Japan’s existence is threatened.
The performances are largely quite good. I’m surprised the movie is being called realistic, though–the characters are all exaggerated and intense. This works for me. More another time.
The effects range from passable (some CGI fails to impress) to fantastic when properly mixing CG and practical effects (and presenting them in clever ways).
The music is a mix of old and new–even Evangelion music appears! And the classic Gojira sound effects and Showa tracks somehow work. They’re kind of out of place in a way, but it’s also chilling.
There will be controversy about a few things. Maybe you know what they are already. Purists will be bugged, but see the movie yourself before turning against this exciting, fresh film. It has plenty of old and plenty of new, but what sets it apart is the masterfully artful direction.

>>14552918

They ram him with a train, which knocks him down and partially freezes him, they then bum-rush him with trucks full of poison as he squirms.

This is done to the theme of Invasion of the Astro Monsters.

>>14552929
>They ram him with a train, which knocks him down
Godzilla in this one is 389 feet tall and probably thousands upon thousands of tons, how the fuck did they do that?

>>14552926
Jimpluff's Spoiler Thoughts:

It’s structurally the same as Gojira. A specialized scientific substance takes Godzilla down. I just wanted him to get away.

At the end, he’s basically crystallized in Tokyo, and on his tail we see many… well, they look like human-Godzilla hybrids. What does this mean? I don’t know, but I hope the fact that he’s not vaporized and that there seem to be more secrets means maybe this incarnation isn’t done just yet. I hope.

>>14552938

Yeah, that's the one. Not even remixed. They use the original Godzilla theme to from King Kong vs Godzilla.

>>14552926
>this film is beautifully shot and edited, dripping with Anno’s masterful touch from scene to scene. It’s fast-paced, frenetic, bitingly satirical, and tense.
Oh yes. This is the kind of stuff I was waiting to hear. I'm hyped.

>>14552946

Also one last thing before I go, you see Obama as an evil shadow villain like NERV. I think he threatens to drop a nuke on Tokyo if Japan can't find a way to beat Godzilla (obviously they do).

>>14552961
How good is the Obama impersonator?

>>14552975

It's just his silhoutte and hand.

>>14552980

>>14552982

No, it's just a quick cut to the oval office with him surrounded by advisors, as the girl tells the main character in japanese what he said.

The girl speaks english and japanese, she switches between the two even when speaking to japanese characters, which is weird.

>>14552961
I hope Shin Godzilla 2 ends with Trump leading MechaMAGA to battle Godzilla

Also, one one, last thing. The wonky CGI is mostly with the Godzilla junior. He moves too quickly and it looks weird.

There is also a terrible show of a bomb being dropped on godzilla by a fighter jet from orbit. For whatever reason he's fucking floating when it impacts. It's a split second shot but it is Asylum-tier.

>>14553006
Is Smaller Godzilla something he sprouts off, or an early form?

>>14553006
>floating

>>14553012

You see it for less than a minute really. It sprouts arms and legs from the tadpole, and learns how to walk and then waddles to the ocean. Reminded me of Junior from SpaceGodzilla, honestly.

I'm going to see it again tonight. I loved it, but there was no one at my 9am showing, so I'm scared. I think they'd do a sequel if this is successful, so I'm really puling for it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLrqCX10yJw Why the hell was this ending not used in Godzilla vs Biollante? The "special effects" being pretty much fully animated looks neat and it's far more climactic than the official ending.

The movie as a whole felt like it had an "aware that it's ridiculous, but also trying to be genuienly cool and fun" feeling to it, but the "Godzilla wakes up but just decides to walk away, good times" ending was just anti-climactic and dumb. I wonder if they were forced by higher-ups to make an alternate ending at the last moment for whatever reason and they just quickly shit something out.

>>14553209
People in twitter (japanese people) are discussing this: arguing that Its not nationalistic in the political sense beyond the USA having that mysterious superpower image, as the japanese government is mocked beyond belief and some even say that it does so with slapstick comedy and that even children wanted to see more of the "company men"(the goverment suits we follow through the film). The PM is prtrayed as a scumbag presumably.

The film is argued to be more about solidarity to people in need and standing together, no doubt infuenced with how it happened in real life with the last disaster, and because of the duty the japanese burdened themselves at the time, some started using the word nationalistic with pride (they´re even writing it in Katakana), but its actually more about solidarity than about the nation.

One guy posted, "Its not like it was Independence Day"

Personally I think touches like playing the theme from Astro monster in the climax (which sorts of sounds like a nationalistic march) made a wrong impression in some people concerned with that issue.

To keep it short, Japan PM is shit who doesnt want US help because of petty reasons, MC believes people have to cooperate, but finally, they have to take matters on their own as the US decides they should launch a Nuke, to which the MC is against because that would kill innocent people.
All governments are baddies.

>>14553376
This is a load of bullshit

>>14553376

That sounds more like the guy who gave us Gendo "literally hitler" Ikari

>>14553382
I didnt see the movie, just posting some stuff from twitter. and my vague idea of how it sort of sounds in the context of the movie.

If you have seen the movie and have an opinion on the whole political stance go ahead and post something, most of us (me included) are in here to know more from those who´ve seen it.

PM is shown as indecisive and dumb but is willing to work with the US (doing so jndirectly kills him) and even has the SDF stand down at one point when it turns out that two civillians haven't evacuated the area yet

His actions are understandable becausr they have no idea how much of a threat godzilla is until he goes full ideon which is what kills the PM

Germany lets japan use their supercomputers, france helps stall the nume attack, yanks want to nuke but would do so even if this was NY and still help in operation yashiori (it's thanks to their drones that they can get godzilla to waste energy so they can attack him)

Final (fourth) form has the godzilla theme playing

Final showdown had SDF theme

Credits have original versions of both

Also a recurring BGM that has different versions building up as the movie goes on is VERY close to Decisive Battle

It starts playing and i literally laughed going holy shit anno put decisive battle in godzilla

It's not the same though, just te first bits of it repeated forever

>>14553145
Mansai Nomura, a man, was the actor for ShinGoji.

Oh and yeah operation to freeze godzilla is the yashiori sakusen

Do you think theres some points to those guys that saw the movie and made little articles complaining about the "nationalistic issue" in the last days and citing it as something that could affect foreign views on the movie?

No "tadpole" that i noticed

First form seen is some sort of retarded rat chicken with stumps for arms

>>14553112
>>14553118
I thought they were doing suitmation with animatronics?

>>14553440
Only bits that could be jnterpretaed that way are

-early on they don't attack godzilla because muh constitution (more poking fun at politicians putting their own interests before other things- they don't want to be the ones to do something with no precedent)

-china and russia are 100% assholes but that's just being true to real life

>>14553454

>>14553449

>>14553440
If people actually couldn't deal with nationalistic stuff in Jap media barely anything they produce would ever leave the country.

So apparently a considerable amount of the North American fandom is absolutely furious about the changes Anno made to Godzilla. Comparisons to G98 have become a regular thing and some are upset Toho would even dare make a film after America "got it right." It has begun, anons.

>>14553449
Why the fuck do people want to tie this into the original movie?

>>14552470
his tail looks like an uncircumcised penis taking a piss

>>14553470
Which version of Godzilla are they talking about? Does the fandom not realize there is no one version, but dozens of them?

Felt more like a god warrior than godzilla but i liked him

>>14553471
because the original movie was amazing and because it would show how truly indestructible Godzilla really is. They used the same idea in GMK where the heart started beating at the end. I want to see Godzilla completely regenerate over the course of 60 years while the people of Japan thought they'd never have to see him again.

>>14553491
GMK was a shit Godzilla movie. Stop fapping over it.

>>14553376
So basically, it's nationalistic as fuck. Noice.

You faggots are forgetting that it's the leftists that always worship government and want it to regulate damn near everything. The PM being portrayed as indecisive and dumb is just typical right wing skepticism of government institutions.

Arguments are that the people who like Shin Godzilla will mindlessly accept anything Toho does but would throw a hissy fit if Legendary (or some other company) had Godzilla evolve or fire purple lasers out of his tail. ShinGoji isn't Godzilla, he's some laughable, try hard generic monster if you listen to these people. Never mind that he has the traditional appearance (except more grotesque), the iconic roar, and the nuclear origins. I don't think anyone would look at ShinGoji, especially in action, and mistake him for anything else. He's clearly Godzilla and somewhat resembles Godzilla '54. Toho experimented with his background before (Godzillasaurus in GvKG and possessed by spirits in GMK) and the military brought him down with poison in Return of Godzilla and Godzilla vs Biollante. The beam spamming is just taking the nuclear pulse to the next level.

>>14553500
Literally in every way the most successful Godzilla film of the Millennium Era, received awards in its home country and positive reception abroad, and regularly listed as a fan favorite. Better written/acted human characters and executed special effects than anything in the Heisei Era (besides Biollante maybe). Shit movie? Sure. Still upset King Ghidorah wasn't a villain? Godzilla vs King Ghidorah did it first.

>>14553547
Oh it's a good monster movie for sure, but it's a shit Godzilla boobie.

>>14553491
Everything the SDF throws at him literally can't make a scratch. The only time any damage is done to him is when the yank B2s drop bunker busters on him which damage him once. Up till then he didn't even seem to register anything as a threat and was just waddling around, but after the bunker busters he does his Ideon impersonation and nothing can hit him at all (all the bombs AND bombers are shot down by his fin beams, plus the PM and most of the cabinet are killed by this too).

He can breathe both fire (regular fire) and the purple beam which is a focused version of the fire. The first time he does the fire thing he incinerates a massive area and it's depicted like the city destroyer beam from Independence Day. The purple beams (mouth, fin and tail version) don't burn but cut, basically the same thing as the god warrior beam but without the huge explosions at the end.

They defeat him by throwing drones at him until he runs out of energy, then use train bombs and controlled demolition of skyscrapers nearby to knock him over so they can force-feed him a thing to freeze him.

>>14553491
You see, adhering to idolising the original movie that much just degrades it. Yes, it is a great movie and all that, but it should be made obsolete instead of trying to leech off from it. You may want to see the same Godzilla coming back, but that's stupid. Godzilla was a monster of its time, and each era should have its own monster that represents that era, be it Godzilla or not. Godzilla is indestructible as an idea and in motifs, the monster itself doesn't really matter. As such, each movie is needed and required to stand on its own feet, and if they don't, they're just another sequel that couldn't do anything on their own and lack vision.

>>14552800
This is mostly true though I'm not sure about
>many of them have Godzilla's spines.

And he looks nothing like a tadpole, more like some sort of retarded newborn chicken-rat-thing. I mean he has fucking legs.

Actually now that I think about it he looks like that dinosaur boss with the penis head from Castlevania.

Writing for Eiga.com, Kazuo Ozaki raves that, “Hollywood, even with all its money, can’t approach this kind of perfection,” while Koichi Irikura of the website Cinema Today hails the “birth of a masterpiece that boldly announces the revival of a Japanese Godzilla.” But given these and other reviews with a pro-Toho, anti-Hollywood tinge, the film seems to be stirring the patriotic sentiments that England found in its story line.

I can SORT of see a really daft person managing to derive "rah-rah support for the military" from this but "sympathy for the government" is plain fucking bullshit.

They take the piss out of Abe. Not even just politicians in general but fucking Abe specifically. The PM puts on blue overalls for the press conferences and such after the first attack. Abe was criticised like fuck after 3/11 when he did just that to act as if he was actually helping out with the recovery when he was just sitting on his ass in a safe place all day every day.

Oh right about the name- It's a Japanese guy (a professor who went missing) who names Godzilla. Gojira is the name of an angry god from his hometown, and he also gave it the English name Godzilla because angry GOD duh. The yanks get hold of his info first so they know the name before Japan. Japan ends up calling it Gojira because Godzilla is hard to pronounce.

>>14553607
Is all this true? If so, Anno got away with quite a bit. Criticizing the government to such extent. And despite this he managed to get the full support of JSDF in making this film. Seems like there will be plenty of things to talk about in Shin Godzilla beyond the changes made to the titular character and action. Maybe it is a masterpiece. For anyone who has seen it, how does it compare to Gojira (1954)?

>>14553635
>. And despite this he managed to get the full support of JSDF in making this film.
You do realise that the SDF is pretty anti-Abe, right?

The first half of the film (the first attack) is basically a black comedy making fun of Japanese politics (mostly old politicians, but there's also a short bit taking the piss out of dumb college kids who have no fucking idea what they're talking about like SEALDs) and Japanese people in general (evacuation order given, people go up on rooftops to take photos with their phones).

>>14553649
>>14553635
The second half of the film is basically a cross between Godzilla 1954 and God-Warrior in Tokyo.

It's very clearly nothing like the majority of Godzilla films but I felt that it was better than them.

>>14553653
So exactly like Godzilla 2014?

>>14553681
2014 felt more like a Gamera movie to me.

But yeah the cinema was empty, though that's really no different from the average film over here. There were about 20-30 people at my showing, there were three children as part of a group (the parents seemed to be friends, and I overheard one telling the kids about how this is the first Godzilla movie in 16 years), one couple (the girl seemed to enjoy it, kept laughing at the politicians), and everyone else was men in their 40s-50s or obvious otaku.

That doesn't change the fact that today he's a washed up has-been coasting by on his previous successes. Using his status as a household name in the industry and no legitimate talent as a director or writer. Just look at the clusterfuck that is the Rebuild films. All the "cool symbolic" stuff with none of what made Evangelion good in the first place.

He's become like a musician who made one or two hit singles but constantly flops in his attempts at recapturing that old magic because all he can produce are soulless imitations. And Japan won't be blunt enough to tell him he fucked up, because you don't dare say bad things about industry legends over there.

>>14553842
The only argument people have against 3.0 is that the characters treated shinji in an annoying and nonsensical way.

Because 95% of people who watch NGE project themselves into the character that is Shinji, after Shinji was thrust into a situation where people were treating him poorly, unfairly and nonsensically, they were personally hurt and confused. They felt betrayed by all of their favorite characters, and were confused why they would treat him in such a way.

This is how 3.0 is an absolute masterpiece. Just as 2.0 successfully pulled you through a comfy world of girls and overcoming obstacles and made you happy and comfortable, 3.0 just as successfully pulled you into a world of pain and confusion, precisely what Shinji was feeling during 3.0. It is a magnificent achievement in art that people feel exactly what the main character is feeling while the main character is feeling it, the sense of confusion and pain that Shinji is feeling is 100% projected onto the viewer.

Plebians are unable to separate themselves from the perspective of Shinji and look at Hideaki's artwork from the outside, so they turn their pain and confusion into dislike, aka cognitive dissonance(what christians feel when they see literature on natural selection).

This is why a true patrician understands the magnificent piece of art that 3.0 is, and the difficult task that it has achieved of pulling you directly into the feelings of the MC.

Calling it a parody is pretty extreme. And the situation Shinji found himself in wasn't much different than episode 1 of NGE. Being tossed aside, not being told all the info, distrusted and confused.

All it really did was drop Shinji back down to where he started, with much heavier and now-justified guilt on his back, feeling even more justified that his non-action is better for everyone since the one time he tried to take iniative he ruined the world, and a drastically different setting and characters.

Your analysis is forced. People dislike 3.0 because it heavily disrupted the canon, had a very different feeling and aesthetic in its setting, left a lot of threads untied and was just underwhelming and forced feeling in a lot of things, like EVA02's beast transformation.

But the reactions are absurd and overstated. There's nothing to hint Anno has lost his ability to direct and to call them bad films is nonsensical. The Eva fanbase always been stubborn and unintelligent, they still think the show's ending and EoE is obtuse, meaningless and 2deep4u.

Canon wise, it did bother me, but I understand that it take place in the future and nothing would be the "Exact same" as it was during 2.0's ending. 3.0 as a whole felt like a huge step back from what 1.0/2.0 built up on.

This is fucking retarded and easily on par with the "sequel theory" for stupidest fanwank theory out there.

3.0 was not shit because we connected with Shinji, especially when the faggot mentally regressed 10 levels and fucked up the whole ending. 3.0 was shit because it fucked up the narrative, all the characters, and ultimately led to nothing but gay piano and Asuka/Kaworu waifuboosting from the faggot director Anno himself. He even said he didn't feel like making 4.0 ever after he finished. That's how little of a fuck he gives about the actual story.

That sentiment has existed for decades. Hell look at how the word 'shin' here is being partially used to mean 'true'.
Are you seriously going to justify Edward's generic dull shitshow? Do you just mindlessly devour any piece of shit with the Godzilla name attached?

>>14553672
Wow, Godzilla has the Flame of Pentecost above his head. Anno just can't avoid religious symbolism.

Guys

There are no purple beams and this movie is a disgusting nationalistic right wing propaganda film trying to elicit rah-rah support for the military and sympathy for the government with blatant flag-waving

>>14554142
Wait longer before replying to yourself.

I bet Shin Godzilla is less nationalistic than the Heisei series.

It's always the western fans too that you see with this attitude. When Legendary released Godzilla 2014 there were articles from fans about how Godzilla was "whitewashed" of his nuclear origins, that portraying him as primarily a force of nature awoken by nuclear technology wasn't in line with the character.

And I was like, "Motherfucker have you SEEN the Godzilla films past the original?" Nuclear allegory hasn't been the central symbolism of Godzilla since the first one. Even Return of Godzilla had him more akin to a natural disaster. The nuclear allegory was placed solely on humans with all the Cold War bullshit.

Now we see it again with Shin Godzilla. Godzilla's got all these batshit insane abilities, and the Japanese are like, "Wow, that's cool." Westerners meanwhile sperg out about how it's "not Godzilla," creating a new little tribe among fans that will shut out all outside views and opinions just like others did about Legendary Godzilla.

>>14554168
Are you implying Japan is not the greatest country in the world?

>>14554172
No, but I would be saying that straight out. Japan is pretty shit country with backwards culture with almost three decades of economic slump they still haven't managed to rise from.

>>14554168
Japan and Nationalism are like a package deal.

Only Showa nostalgia hipsters will dislike this movie. Same like with Kamen Rider who hate Heisei Riders despite their objective superior quality.

FOR ME TO POOP ON

>>14554178
There are various levels of nationalism. Heisei series was straight up Japanaowanking without much criticism.

>>14554169
The thing is that the marketing and Edwards hyped the movie up as being tied to the original and the nuclear weapon allegory and instead presented a Showa-tier dumbass monster brawl that had nothing to do with any of that and Godzilla was a friendlt cartoon dinosaur who just doesn't like other monsters fucking within earshot.

>>14554183
>Remember that time Japan just so happen to have a Flying battle machine that was supposed to be the "Strongest weapon" in the world.
>Remember that time Japan becomes a World leader and country in the future, then white people came to stop it?
>Remember that time Japan managed to Build a 120 meter tall super weapon that they had control of?

This movie confirms that Anno has a purple laser fetish

Kaijubabby here

I know Godzilla 1954 is good

I watched 60s Godzilla vs Mothra and it was nice but held back by the fact that Mothra does fucking nothing

1984 is alright I guess

Godzilla vs. Biollante's heart was in the right place in its attempt to mix self-aware cheesiness with unironic coolness but ultimately it wasted its huge potential to be amazing with a horrible "why would anyone think this was a good idea" ending and wasting the miniatures on a generic "Godzilla stomping about" scene instead of having the climactic battle take place in a city

I watched the first 90s Gamera movie and it was fantastic, I skimmed through and read about the other 2 and they seem even better and I'm fucking amazed that what started as a poor man's retarded Godzilla could get so fun and well executed

Based on this what Godzilla films do you guys think I would actually like? I decided torrenting Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla 2002 and Tokyo SOS because they seemed cool and I decided to stop caring about what the fanbase goes "AHH, CLASSIC" at but I dunno if I'll like them and it's gonna take ages for the torrents to finish anyway.

Why? You said nothing but exaggerations, hypocrisies, and general dishonesty brought on by fanboy mentality. There's nothing of merit to answer.

You're what I mean by autists who form echo chambers and try to make everything about "my favorite movie versus your favorite movie." Just because you think you're on the right side of some imagined debate doesn't mean what you have to say has any value.

Just chug down good amount of alcohol and watch them with your friends. Majority of Showa are comedy movies starting from King Kong Vs Godzilla and should be taken as such.

>>14554255
He's right.
Ultraman refused to grow up like Kamen Rider did and still has horrible cliches like moralfag superhero protags, Showa wank, same old monsters etc

>>14554211
Godzilla x Mechagodzilla and Tokyo SOS are both fun. Not the best but still an enjoyable watch.

The Heisei films past Biollante can be hit or miss but don't go above mediocre. Godzilla vs Destroyah has lots of feels toward the end but otherwise is pretty banal.

The other Millennium films are odd. They're all unconnected outside the two Mechagodzilla ones. G2000 is okayish but Godzilla x Megagurius is god awful. GMK is weird but good and Final Wars will either be completely awesome or utterly dreadful for you. There's no in between.

The Showa era from the original to Godzilla vs Monster Zero are consistently good. However don't watch the US cut of Godzilla Raids Again. It's like trying to masturbate with a power sander. Find the subtitled uncut version if you can.

Past that point the Showa films become hit or miss. Ebirah is an underrated classic and I liked Son of Godzilla despite not being the most exciting film. The absolute most watch films in this category are Godzilla vs Hedorah, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, and Terror of Mechagodzilla. Godzilla's Revenge is the worst film in the series.

Godzilla 1998 is right out. It's cancer on celluloid.

Godzilla 2014 gets shit from the more autistic side of the fandom but it's still a good film. It's like a Showa film played realistically and is a lot like the Heisei Gamera films in overall tone.

>>14554283
The circlejerk over him is ridiculous. His character getting killed off when it did made sense. There was nothing left for him to do.

>>14554285
Its not the fact that he gets killed off its that when the film decides to focus on his son does it become shit because Kickass is not interesting

>>14553370
I don't think the ending of vs. Biollante was anti-climactic. Godzilla was too weak to keep on going, and they didn't have the means to kill him. It made sense. I can see why they did the cut per >>14553522 and even agree with it. Godzilla needed to remain an anti-hero at best.

The only thing I didn't like about this move is that its plot contributed to Space Godzilla happening. We all could have lived without that.

>>14554306
Space Godzilla wasn't even a thing back then. You can't blame a movie for what it had no part in.

Go to bed (((Gareth)))

You don't even need to give a shit about Godzilla to recognize how mediocre 2014 is. If anythng Godzilla fags give it a free pass that other filmgoers wouldn't (and didn't)

>>14554316
That's goal post shifting. Don't misunderstand me, I love vs. Biollante. I remember swapping the vhs we rented from blockbuster when I was a kid with some other crap I wouldn't miss to keep it. But its existence contributed to Vs. Space G happening. It didn't happen with a purpose, but it still happened. Maybe if it had just been magic girl ghost dust floating off when Biollante when she disintegrated we'd be golden. But it wasn't due to the retcon explaining how we got Space G. It's only a mild smudge, I can live with it.

>>14554379
No, it's not goalpost shifting by far, it's how things are. Time, how the fuck does it work? It did not contribute to the existence of Space Godzilla because it did not exist at that point. It's a dirty retcon, and the same applies to Vs Mothra, from where they get the second theory. You should diss the writers at Toho for having such a huge hardon for Godzilla VS Godzilla story during the 80's and 90's.

That's why you have shows like Drive and Ghost? And post-Decade riders all being gimmicky?

>>14554450
Still more mature than Showa toku. Ultraman is still stuck there

so where are you guys watching this?

>>14554463
Ultraman needs an Amazons treatment, something that separates itself from the older Ultra series, and makes a name for itself.

Riders,Sentai, and Ultra are for kids, but Ultraman feels like a show designed and completely intended for preschool children and Nostalgic fans.
I love the designs, it's just the overall show and the way it's presented, that makes it feel "Kiddy".

I was hoping that Will Smith would've pushed harder on his US Ultraman movie idea, but for right now I'm just crossing my fingers for something that can save Ultras as a whole.

>>14554480
> I'm just crossing my fingers for something that can save Ultras as a whole.
I think the franchise is doing well enough that it doesn't need "saving". As it is, The two more grim adaptations we have range from excellent with terrible ratings to absolute dogshit, so I don't think Tsuburaya has much reason to bother with odds like that.

>>14554511
That problem was the same with what happened to Godzilla after GMK.

It needs to be completely separate from the current running Ultraman, and drastically different. Granted, I've never been the biggest Ultraman fan, but I hate to see any franchise be wasted when potential is there.

Something closer to that test reel with saw a long while back, and a more organic design, like a anon said early, it needs to almost be Eva like, but with more human proportions. Instead of The human host "growing larger", something on the lines of The Guyver happens and makes him giant.

>>14554480
I agree. Drop the bland moralfag protags that Rider hasn't done since the awful early shows, stop rehashing monsters, get some interesting suit designs, just grow up already.

I know the whole "If you don't like it, don't watch it" argument is pretty poor, but if the protagonists aren't edgy enough for your liking then by all means, stick to Kamen Rider.

>>14554543
It needs to either be a set of movies or a very short series.

>New take on the Ultra Lore.
>Classic monsters appear, with new looks.
>Ultraman is frightening(Not monstrous), but Good.
>Synchronizing with Ultraman/"The Alien" causes harm to the host.
>"Ultraman" is more so a "Biomech" than it is a "Giant man", but still looks like a giant man.
>The Chest Timer is still there, but once it starts glowing Red, the "Ultra Body" starts deteriorating, and becoming fragile until it's gone.

so any explanation on what godzilla 'is' in this movie? i assume the tail-people are a symbolic representation of either human suffering or anger, but does any character touch upon what 'spawned' godzilla?

>>14554577
Anon, this attitude is why Ultraman is dying. Nobody wants a bland moralfag hero today. Rider ditched the old bullshit and prospered.

What if Godzilla is actually a Biomass that's attempting to become the "Ultimate life form", and after humans defeated it, it's only answer was to become Human.
