Couldn't the difference in quality between old Gamera and newer Gamera be taken advantage of as far as marketing goes? Just put a really shitty old-school Gamera scene that looks like adults playing with bootleg toys next to one of the super-atmospheric non-CG scenes from the Iris movie or the Gyaos face explosion from the new trailer.

That's actually a big part of why I find the 90s Gamera so interesting, the way they took the crappy bootleg Godzilla that everyone laughed at and actually did an arguably better job than the Godzilla films from that era.

What is everyone's favorite Godzilla Poster?

Pic related.

Okay /m/, you're Toho, you'll have to plan the inevitable Shin Gojira sequel. Who'll be up for the task?

-Let Higuchi/Anno continue. Does Shin really need a direct sequel? If so, could it be manageable without resorting to VS or NGE tomfoolery?

-Get risky and hire auteurs like Gakuryu Ishii (Electric Dragon, Burst City) or Shinya Tsukamoto (Tetsuo, A Snake of June). Hedorah, Biollante, GMK and Final Wars are some of the non-Honda stand-outs for better or for worse, so it might be worth another try.

-Play it safe: get an experienced Tokusatsu director likeKiyotaka Taguchi (Gehara), Koichi Sakamoto (Ultraman X) or Tomo’o Haraguchi (Mikadroid).

-F*ck it all, there's no way to top Shin. Make a zany low budget film under Minoru Kawasaki (Monster X Strikes Back) or Noboru Iguchi (Karate-Robo Zaborgar). At least they'll be profitable until Toho thinks of something else

-Hire an efficient but unremarkable director faithful to Toho's company structure (At least half of the Godzilla films)

desu everyone would be an improvement, most of Godzilla's directors ain't that good

I know I'm alone in this, and I know it'll never happen, but I would actually like to see Kitamura back again. He's done some good work on pure horror movies like Alive and Midnight Meat Train, but in Final Wars he only got to show off his Action Movie Director side. Plus he's known for getting shit done on time and under budget, so you'd think that he would be Toho's favorite no matter what the Final Wars box office was.

But that will never happen, so fuck it. Let Takashi Miike go nuts.

>>14611189
I'd say either Takashi Miike, Takeshi Yagi, or maybe Hideo Kojima.

>Toho intends for Shin Godzilla to be their ticket into the international marketplace.
If this is true then Toho is dumb as shit. The fact that there's even a controversy about whether or not America is portrayed negatively in this movie or not, or if the movie is nationalistic or not, shows that they either didn't consider how foreigners would view the movie or they honestly have no idea how to make a movie for international audiences.

I tend to think it's the former. I don't think they gave a shit about how this movie did overseas and especially not in America.

>>14611713

They didn't, like, at all.

>>14611646

>>14611713
Even if the Japanese try to appeal to foreigners, there's no way they could do it successfully. Most people who enjoy Japanese entertainment outside of Japan enjoy it because it's specifically Japanese in nature, and likely very different from their domestic culture. Also, Japan is really xenophobic (whether intentional or not) and their works only present life in Japan with cosmetic changes. You can have characters be any skin color, have weird made-up names, and give them fictional nationalities, but they'll always just be a Japanese insert in everything but name.

TLDR: Japan can't into anything outside of Japan and foreigners don't want easily accessible stuff from Japan -- just the usual Japanese shit because it's so culturally niche compared to foreign nations' entertainment.

>>14611713
>Could still be an ironic fakepost that he fell for, or even one that he posted to the video just so he could quote it here.
He went back in time and posted ten comments over the period of time from when the video went up, before it was posted here, from ten different accounts each of which is several years old?

Shin Godzilla was sold to over 100 countries and territories. If I'm not mistaken, this is Toho's widest release ever. And the nationalism stuff isn't true, certain people (who were probably already prejudiced against the film) jumped the gun.

>>14611761
How did that rumor even take off? Anno is unabashedly an otaku and most of his anime has its fair share of fanservice. He's even a big fan of Go Nagai.

>>14611764
It's more about intent; '14 is going for realism while the new one is not. Japanese Godzilla has traditionally been considered a joke and "so bad it's good funny trash" in the US because realism has much more commonly been considered a goal in western art compared to Japan. '54 is the only one considered "objectively good" by at least a half-decent chunk of US normies; If you look at the internet opinions for films like the 60s vs. Mothra or Ghidorah outside of the tokusatsu weeaboo demographic the consensus is that such films are only to be enjoyed ironically and that there was no craft involved in their creation. No one thinks about the effort that goes into making the monster scenes because they consider realism to be the main purpose of special effects and since they're not even trying, that's grounds for immediate dismissal.

>>14611771
"It's not fanservice, it's satire of fanservice"

They always refer to the EoE masturbation scene being about jacking off to anime and how it's wrong even though it makes no sense (what Shinji did was bad because it's rapey and creepy, you don't need a metaphor to make 'jacking off over a comatose girl' bad).

Anno has historicaly been highly critical of his fellow otaku but for vastly different reasons than what pretentious retards think.

And every time they're offered proof of the opposite like Anno proudly putting a copy of Strike Witches on his desk at Studio Khara they just completely ignore it because of course they do

>>14611740
Making something marketable overseas is less of a "how to" and more a "how not to." Despite all of the China-pandering that goes on in Hollywood now, many if not most of the Hollywood movies that do well in China don't pander to China, they just avoid offending China. Furious 7 didn't have shit to do with China, but it still made $390 million there.

Godzilla movies did just fine the in the US back in the 60's and 70's. All they have to do is focus on something that's marketable, like giant monsters fighting each other, and avoid ruffling any delicate feathers along the way.

>>14611750
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that Toho has any overseas branches. They're just selling licenses to other distributors, not distributing it themselves in any country but Japan. That's not really them releasing it in 100 countries and territories, it's just them going, "Yeah, I'll take your money," from other companies who are doing that. Those international distributors are the ones who think the movie will make money outside of Japan.

>>14611771
General audiences probably don't know anything Anno did except for Eva. You'd just get blank stares if you brought up Cutie Honey.

>>14611786
He's talking about the quality of the CGI, anon.

>>14611792
I know and that's what I'm also talking about. Japanese monster movies don't view realism as the purpose of CG and thus westerners will see the Japanese CG as "bad, dated".

Oh and people also suck at taking budget and time constrains into account. Yeah you'll see a bunch of strings in old Toho films but those were made on a tight budget with very strict deadlines; a film like The Empire Strikes Back was made later, given more time and FAR more money and it still managed to have blatantly-visible white strings over a dark blue backdrop.

The CGI in this movie is actually really good for a japanese movie and indeed better than shit like Ghostbusters, Green Lantern or even Godzilla 2014, which all cost like 150 million and look like big videogames.

But somehow just for being Hollywood people eat the shit listed above.

>>14611813
It's highly subjective and cultural. They purposefully made CG that looks like suitmation but to Japan that's not a problem because "special effects" are just meant to be fun to look at, not make it look like the action is actually happening. Americans see anything that breaks 'immersion' as a flaw..

Very few people give Godzilla films, outside of Gojira, an honest chance. I think most of Honda's early Godzilla work can be rightfully called "objectively good."

Why wouldn't toho try to make another godzilla film but in the tone of the showa films, specially the 70s one.

>>14611858
I think there is no such thing as "objectively good". Objective flaws exist but "objectively good" and "objectively bad" is not real because different people put different importance on things. A flaw can be a movie-ruiner for one critic yet worth looking past for another.

HOWEVER I think it's obvious there is movie-making craft involved in the Honda films, even the worst ones. To say they're "so bad it's good" disregards the effort and aesthetic sense put into things like use of miniatures and shot composition.

>>14611713
They're just happy to get money from whatever foreign distributor grabs up their product, and the little extra income they might get from their releases. They movie is already doing well enough in Japan, that's what matters to them. There is no way the film is gonna be received that well (or well at all) in other places, but if the distributors keep their marketing costs low and promote it specifically to their target audience (Godzilla fans, people interested in Japanese cinema, more open-minded people in general), they may turn in adequate, if little profit.

I'm sure Toho would love to have a worldwide to blockbuster on their hands, but I don't think they're banking on Shin Godzilla becoming one.

>>14611848

'98 has way better lighting than 2014 as well

Well that's kind of the point I was trying to make. But I do think there are certain standards of quality. Anyway, detractors seem to ignore or fail to notice the artistic merit in films like Mothra vs Godzilla and Monster Zero. Sure the special effects aren't photorealistic, though that wasn't the intention and they hold fairly well (IMO). Ironic enjoyment isn't most these films have to offer. Unironically, some are great.

Some of it will look like shit, it is expected, but the stuff I have seen in the trailers looks better than many Hollywood movies from the last years and much less videogamey.

I heard the evolution scene in ShinGoji is the worst looking one.

>>14612458
It doesn't look that great in stills like the one that >>14611764 posted, but that's kind of misrepresenting the quality since it's meant to be viewed as part of the movie. I don't remember that particular shot looking that plastic-ey when I saw G'14, but I saw it once in theaters and never again so maybe I just haven't scrutinized it closely enough. I think that's unlikely, though. I suspect that this shot looks better in the movie, where it's only on-screen briefly and in motion.

>>14612492
I haven't seen it since watching 1985 on VHS, but I remember it being a bit on the dull side. It's not really a Film Student Film like 1954, but it's also not a Stuff Blowing Up movie like most of the vs. movies are. It's just kind of ponderous and boring. Super X-1 is still the best Super X, though. Super X-3 a shit.

That said, I'm still buying that blu ray on day one, if only to complete my Heisei set.

The poster's MechaGodzilla is a mix of various concept art MGs. I'd say it's the only monster of the whole franchise that is significantly worse in his final form than his concept art.
Also, NoriyoshiOhrai is awesome.

>>14611198
I don't know about Urobuchi, but Oshii's concept would probably involve chaos in Tokyo, focus on civil servants/military, talking heads, basset hounds, (destroyed) city landscapes and philosophy discourses about human nature and our direct involvement with the incomprehensible yet human monsters.
So it's WXIII: Patlabor 3, ironically enough

boring how?
it is very conventional, and that is fine, it never gets silly, godzilla is the sole focus of the film, and I wish there were more like it

it's always more interesting how the humans try to manage a godzilla sized problem than spectating two guys in rubber suits wrestling for 90mins without goofy space aliens or time travel in the background

most godzilla films, ignore radiation, nukes and geopolitics altogether, and that makes them extremely boring

which is one of the reasons I really like g84, the real world cold war tensions between east and west and japan being caught in the middle is perfect for godzilla

biollante is also really great, exploring biotechnology risks, but then the heisei series went to goofytown again

>>14612568

I understand why people like Return of Godzilla. It has a haunting, grounded atmosphere and the score is stellar. But as an actual film, I find it dull. It plays in the ballpark of Gojira, however, it lacks the punch that made the latter such a great film and that does it few favors. This is one of the dangers of making a serious, solo Godzilla film.

And Godzilla's design at times looked... eh...

If you were in charge of goji1984, what would you have done differently?

the only things 84 really lacks is some emotional punches from someone sacrificing themself, families about to meet their doom and mourning for the victims
though these aren't easy to shoehorn into g84 without seeming like a total remake of the original
I guess maybe he could destroy some emergency shelters where people were hiding, that would be extremely dark though

I prefer the volcano to the oxygen destroyer, it's much more spectacular, more practical and a perfect setup to set up a sequel

yeah the suit looked bad at times, and the closeup animatronic was always bad
but it's far better than most of the showa suits

>>14612740

The only shot I remember looking really obvious was was at the end when Godzilla's returning to the ocean. There's that one shot that's a complete back view and it looks like they're pulling him along on a cart. I thought it was hilarious.

>>14612492
I too find it dull, most of all the human side. I've watched it a couple of times, each time I feel it starts out promisingly, but by the end I still don't quite care for the human characters.

The Super X feels a tad shoehorned in with barely any setup, Godzilla's weakness feels too convenient, I don't like this suit's head design at all (nor the Cybot version), and it's just a mediocre movie with passable effects for its time and a deeper message that still doesn't manage to save it.

I don't recall all that much of the movie by now, but some time ago I read Steve Ryfle's review about it in his book, and found myself agreeing with what he criticized.

Hey, you guys mind if I get a little off topic? I know I shouldn't, this is as close as we get to a kaiju general.

So I was watching Daimajin earlier and I was thinking to myself, "Wow, Daimajin has some pretty great production values for an low-budget 80's Daiei movie. They've definitely come a long way since Gamera. This has cinematography set design and everything. The soundtrack's good, too, even if it does recycle some old Ifukube music. Maybe not every special effect holds up, but most of them do, and they're certainly really good for their age. It's a pretty great looking movie. I can see how they got from this to Heisei Gamera."

So then I looked it up, and Daimajin was made in fucking 1966, in fact all three Daimajin movies came out within a few months of each other in 1966.

Seriously, you guys, what the shit? How did the same company that did the Gamera movies manage to pull these movies off in literally the same year that they put out Gamera vs. Barugon? Why'd they do three Daimajin movies and eight Gamera ones? I'm so confused. I mean, they're not flawless movies, and I kind of hate the third one, but they're ridiculously well-made compared to the Gamera ones that were coming out of the same company at the same time. Did they do some George Lucas Special Edition shit on the blu ray releases or something?

>>14613371
Kids ate up Gamera films, they were relatively easy and cheap to crank out, the popularity of Toho's kaiju movies meant that they'd have a market to tap into, and by the end of the 60s, Japan's movie industry was getting weaker and weaker, so making quick Gamera flicks seemed like a good idea.

>>14613442
That part I understand. What I don't get is how the same guys, at the same time, made something as shockingly decent as Daimajin. Did they just decide to experiment with putting effort into their movies and see how it went?

>>14613465
Less budget, shorter schedule, and a somewhat inexperience director hindered the early Gamera movies somewhat. The good ones aged well, but its easy to tell more concentrated efforts were put into Daimajin.

Funnily enough, the idea of a humanoid monster stems from the earliest rough draft of vs Barugon, where the fat chameleon was a humanoid made of ice.

>>14613511
I bet the reality is that you have to be willing to work harder to sell a less popular product than an established one

>>14613097

G84's characters are about as memorable as most of them in the series, the only real standout are dr serizawa and a few others

the SuperX appearing out of nowhere is fine, they ran out of options and had to resort to experimental weaponry like masers which were nice to see again, it's not like the gov tells the public about everything it has at its disposal

The SuperX was in the realm of plausibility and the cadmium missiles were a good setup for godzilla going to sleep and having that cool shot of the crowds staring at his body slumped on the building and then running away when he revives

cadmium is used to control nuclear reations in nuclear plants, so it's fine, and they didn't let it kill him

there's really only so many ways godzilla can be defeated or contained if it's humans vs godzilla, I wonder if toho would ever reuse something

it should be interesting to note that even it its earliest stages, shin godzilla has a long face, not a short face, which gets wider with age. If this was going to snap off and become its own individual kaiju, I think it would end up looking different than godzilla in perhaps a few superficial ways, but maybe this really is how they're going to bring in new/return old kaiju to the franchise? How many raptilian/ampphibian kaiju are canon to exclusively godzilla-related franchises? we might be abler to figure out which ones are most likely to return.
or, perhaps ones who haven't gotten film appearances yet might be good options?

>>14614537

> G84's characters are about as memorable as most of them in the series,
I'd put the human characters of quite a few Showa films ahead of them. A couple of Millennium entries too. But the true problem is that G84's cast is nowhere near as good as the cast of Gojira. When you drain the light-heartedness or fun out of a Godzilla film, you better make sure the human drama is strong enough to carry that weight. This is where Godzilla Raids Again, Return of Godzilla, and Godzilla '14 come up short.

Additionally, the film just feels so unmotivated and low energy. And at times sloppily shot. An awkward looking Godzilla suit, stuck between the late Showa design and later Heisei design, stumbles around with little motivation.

The oxygen destroyer had thematic relevance and was a more emotionally engaging scene. It made a statement about the escalation of the arms race and Seriwaza's character. I never liked the idea of using birds to lure Godzilla to a volcano.

>>14612740
ROG I thought was really good at making you feel bad for Godzilla and the people at the same time. It communicated clearly that both forces were in a situation they didn't want to be in and there was no happy ending in sight.

On one hand you had the Japanese people who were caught in the middle of the two nuclear superpowers of the world with a living nuke walking through their streets, and on the other hand you had an animal too big and dangerous to exist in this world but wasn't doing anything especially malicious, just following ancient instincts.

Godzilla's slightly goofy look helped that I think. If he looked too scary or menacing, the audience would have been more inclined to think of him as just another evil monster that needs killing.

I find that the Japanese version has a better human story because of the scenes that were cut from the international releases, but I really like the US dub and soundtrack retiming, and especially Raymond Burr's speech at the end. Fucking heartjerker, that one.

>>14614765
Burr was pretty useless in this movie. Just "old man reacts to Godzilla."

Godzilla 84 doesn't really feel like part of the Heisei series to me with its unique Godzilla design and lack of other monsters. More like a one-off standalone sequel to Godzilla

>>14614787
Burr himself was useless as was the whole American insert cast, but the speech at the end was a very nice touch.

ROG definitely stands on its own as a transitional movie in the franchise.

Biollante was better all around I think, and was the best Heisei and one of my favorite G movies period next to KKvG and GMK

>>14614765
> ROG I thought was really good at making you feel bad for Godzilla and the people at the same time.
This was actually a problem at times. The sympathetic card shouldn't be played too hard when your Godzilla is supposed to be menacing.

Vs.King Ghidorah
>A battle of two Kings, fighting over which one is to be "born". Simple and powerful.

Vs. Mothra
>Nothing really happening, possible Godzilla/Mothra team up? Most boring of the Heisei Posters.

Vs.Mechagodzilla
>In the vain of The Empire Strikes back, feels as if this is the darkest point of the franchise. A complete and udder war and struggle for survival for both Monsters and Man.

Vs.SpaceGodzilla
>A more tamed Vs Mechagodzilla poster, standard, attempting to be "Cool", but coming off as clutter in static poses.

Vs.Destroyah
>Meant to be different from the rest, Meant to stand out to show the urgency of the theme, and to represent Life and Death. Same problem with the Vs. SpaceGodzilla poster, nothing of value there outside the powerful image of Godzilla.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying G84's humans were comparable to G54, however, G84 is definitely not as poor as some people make it out to be, there's nothing cringeworthy, which you normally find in gojifilms, it does many things right and it deserves respect for that!

Even in this low quality video, some of the most jarring aspects are coming through. Anno and Higuchi might have been better off using the puppet more, at least for all the closeups.

He's surrounded by jets, it makes sense that he'd fire all of them at once.

>>14615158
Right after MechaGodzilla vs. MechaniKong

> Giant Octopus (Giant Devilfish) has made four appearances in the franchise, almost got included in Final Wars, and has official merchandise.

But just in case I'm wrong here's an example from an even more recent high budget Hollywood film. It's not a one-frame slip up either, they straight up forgot to erase the wire throughout the entire scene.

(Another movie boring internet connoisseurs say is "only enjoyable ironically" despite genuine fimmaking feats being a huge part of what makes it enjoyable)

>friend just spent a week in Japan

Anyway, how is it doing inside Japan money-wise, and how is reception so far? Can we expect a whole new series of movies?

>>14615596
It's currently resting at a little over $29 million, which is what G14 made in its entire run. Shin Godzilla is expected to make at least $40 million. However, it could very well reach $50 million and $60 million isn't out of the question depending on how strong it holds. This weekend it'll be seeing fierce competition with The Secret Life of Pets (the family crowd), so it might finally drop to second place.

If budget for this film was only $10-$20 million and it makes $50-$60 million at Japanese box office, plus distribution rights sold to other films markets and the killing made on merchandise, Toho probably won't know what to do with itself. Shin Godzilla would be the most profitable Japanese entry for the franchise in decades.

In any case, some great effects can happen on accident. My favorite is when Godzilla's back catches fire as he fights Mechagodzilla, and the suit actor just keeps running like mad.

Is Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II any good? I'm in the mood for a Godzilla movie and it's one of the few I haven't seen.

>>14616647
If you've seen any other of the Heisei movies, you'll know what to expect. It's mediocre. But it moves a lot faster than the other Heisei movies and has some cool-ass effects shots (it also has the worst and laziest-conceived Rodan ever).

>>14616658
I haven't seen it in a while, but I remember it having crazy pyrotechnics.

i keep seeing people claim theres a real camrip floating around, where the fuck is it though

>>14616033
Do we have a current ticket count for Shin? last I heard it was 4 million.

>>14616704
Eh, ToMG was much better in that regard, where the pyrotechnics actually led to the Godzilla suit catching fire rather than simply causing viewers to enter epileptic fits like GvMGII does.

>>14616834
Something about that Araki rendition looks really weird.

>>14616853
When does anything drawn by araki not look weird?

>>14616769
No way it should be 4 million. It only just passed Godzilla '14. I think a safe estimate is something like 2.5+ million. If it lives up to expectations, it should manage around at least 3.7 million tickets and might take Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla II's position at tenth best attended films.

They're setting up for a sequel, there's no question about that. However, I cant see Shin Godzilla devolving into an Anti-Hero like Heisei Godzilla did. Hopefully, Anno stays on board, as I'm very interested as to where he's going to be taking this.

>>14617318
I think Anno will stay on board by virtue of Godzilla not being eva and giving him creative freedom by comparison. Hell 3.0 brought him back down to depression, I'm sure he'd leap at the chance to do another Goji.

Shin Godzilla has inspired some strong feelings from the American fanbase. Those who hate it appear to absolutely hate it and hold passionately onto even the smallest negative point they can find about the film. Besides G98, has anything ever rocked the community like this before?

That trailer is atrocious. Compare it to the first trailer we saw, where there was no sound FX but the music and very minimal footage of Godzilla wrecking stuff.
