Reposting Norman "pillar of the community" England's facebook review

> Watched it. It's a militaristic right-wing mess about how great the JSDF is and how they should rearm Japan, that takes every chance it has to insult the US, and depicts women as either sociopaths (the minister and the scientist) or drooling idiots (the "American" lady who can't speak English) while all the problems are solved by tall clever handsome supercompetent men. It's misogynistic to the core and echoes all the problems in Japanese society, especially in the mindset of shut-in loser otaku like the director, Anno. One of the worst movies I've ever seen, period. It's not even a real kaiju movie, because 99% of the film is just Anno soapboxing his politics using bad actors as mouthpieces. There's barely any acting, because the people in the film just constantly spew out non-stop political rhetoric, which takes the place of any form of plot. What little monster action there is in the film is abyssmal- Godzilla's first form is hilariously out of place and despite being CG somehow manages to look like a bad puppet from a black and white era film. The CG in general is pathetic, and what little practical effects there are looks like a child playing with his toy trains. Godzilla himself starts off looking intimidating enough but falls victim to the bad CG when he starts moving faster and shooting lasers at the beginning of the second act. The film has no climax either, as the biggest confrontation is midway through the film, while the final confrontation is done by force-feeding the big lizard some sort of chemical through giant straws mounted on cement trucks. It's so cheap that it's just sad. I am very disappointed.

And the stuff he said on the Japantimes review

>Norman England is a life-long Godzilla fan and former reporter for Fangoria magazine who has spent months on “Godzilla” film sets and saw “Shin Godzilla” last month at a special industry screening. He notes a dramatic departure in the new film from the series’ traditional pacifistic stance. “This is the first film in the series to go for the jugular in trying to elicit rah-rah support for the military and sympathy for the government,” England says, likening the film’s not-so-subtle nationalism to the blatant flag-waving found in Roland Emmerich’s 1996 sci-fi epic “Independence Day.” "Godzilla was originally imagined as a metaphor for the horrors of war and the devastation war brings to people."

>>14842892
This picture makes me uncomfortable.

Norman England (born April 24, 1959) is a film director, actor and film reporter based primarily in Japan. As a reporter he has extensively covered the Millennium Godzilla movies and the new wave of Japanese horror. To date he is the only non-Japanese to have worn the iconic Godzilla suit during production.[citation needed] He directed his first film The iDol in 2005. He emigrated to Japan in 1993 and soon established himself as a writer of the kaiju movie genre. In 1998, he spent a week on the set of George A. Romero's television commercial for the Capcom video game Resident Evil 2, where he met Anthony Ferranti who introduced him to the editors of Fangoria magazine.[citation needed] In 1999, England became the Japan correspondent for Fangoria, through which he became the first westerner to write about the new wave of Japanese horror movies in the mainstream press.[according to whom?] During this time he has also written for publications including Hobby Japan, Japanzine, Starlog, Flix, Japanese Giants, and The Japan Times.[citation needed]

As he is based in Japan, England has been able to spend much time on the sets of the films themselves[citation needed], often logging days beyond simple reporter visits[citation needed]. He spent more than 100 days on set of the Millennium Godzilla series of movies produced between 1999 and 2004[citation needed], including the 2001 movie Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack[citation needed] on which he visited the set almost continuously from April to October[citation needed] and became the only non-Japanese to have worn the Godzilla suit while the a movie was actively in production.[citation needed]

As a Burger I didn't get that vibe at all. It's more how fucked they are after World War II essentially just being another piece of American land.

Maybe I just forgot dialogue, but the only real insult I can think of was when someone said something along the lines of "How american-like".

>>14842914
It's a protective cover, we had this discussion a few weeks before the Japanese release. An Anon managed to get s pretty decent picture of the "Covers" which act as a Heat shield and for blinking.

The Covers themselves are a metallic silver and are shown quickly during different moments of the film.

To me it looked more like he had a membrane that covered his eye.

Lot's of reptiles and amphibians have a sort of second eyelid that rolls over their eye when they go underwater to protect it without them having to close their eye entire, I figured it was something like that

>>14842942
>>14842943
It's almost like when you see a cat or a dog blink their secondary eyelid things.

Shit's weird.

>>14842948
So he's got metallic nictiating membranes.

A few things to clear up before I ask a rather damning question;
1. I absolutely LOVED Shin Godzilla. Probably my second favorite after 1954
2. I've only seen one episode of Eva, back when I was like 8 years old. All of my knowledge comes from an obssesive friend who saw ShinG with me purely because Anno

So I'm wondering, is Eva like all Anno has? Everyone says his robot in Naussica was Eva-esque, he keeps redoing the show over and over from what I hear, and apparently ShinG is "literally the first episode of Eva" according to my friend? Also the music too, apparently
I mean I don't know, I guess it isn't a bad thing, but it strikes me as being a one-trick pony
I don't why I keep thinking about thus either, it's been rattling in my head for a few days

Honda, Kaneko, Anno. Holy Trinity of the Godzilla series.

>>14843156
Eva is his most well-known work, but there's also Gunbuster, Wings of Honneaise, Daicon IV, Love and Pop, and the live action Cutie Honey

Is the original 1954 movie really that good or is it just the usual "it's the first one so it's automatically the best" thing that happens with nearly every franchise across all mediums

>>14843156
>Also the music too, apparently
Here, most of the music was just this:

>>14843156
> Everyone says his robot in Naussica was Eva-esque, he keeps redoing the show over and over from what I hear

His work on Nausicaa was the jumpstart to his entire career. He singlehandedly animated a difficult sequence (God Warrior) and became a close student of Miyazaki. Left a strong impression on him. Beforehand he was working a deadend job and living at work.

But he does other things too. Check out Gunbuster, His and Her Circumstances, Cutie Honey, Love & Pop, or Ritual.

So what do you think the next Toho Godzilla will be? Obviously there's the tail that implies something got out of Shin before his death, but I'm not too certain they'll use the same design.

If they do Shin again, do you think they'll use the evolution into human-like beings implied by the gruesome remains?

It's genuinely good and better than all the Showa, Heisei, Millenium, and American films. Shin may arguably be better.

Also it's a sci-fi suspense film, not a stupid monster movie.

I'd rather have instead of a "Direct Sequel" to Shin Godzilla, we got a new "Origin Point".

For most of the Godzilla media Pre-Shin, 1954 was the Origin Point for Godzilla and his creature.
What I'd like to see is different films having their own take on the Shin Godzilla introduction.

>Universe 1
>Godzilla appeared, attacked Japan, and was frozen.
>A structure is built around Godzilla, constantly keeping him cold.
>Creatures sprouting out of his tail managed to get loose and take on new forms.
>After one(or more) grows to giant size, they unfreeze Godzilla as a way to combat the threat(s).

>Universe 2
>The Freezing plan failed, and the US dropped there nuke on Godzilla.
>The plan failed, resulting in Godzilla becoming stronger.
>His body polluted Japan, making it an uninhabited wasteland.
>Story takes place in a "Active Chernobyl scenario".

>Universe 3
>US went ahead and Nuked Godzilla.
>It effectively "Killed" Godzilla.
>Years later new monsters begin appearing.
>It's revealed that the pieces of Godzilla that survived grew into new forms.
>A new Godzilla is born through this.

Universe 4
>Shin is frozen and his tail is taken for research.
>The tail's "Godzillanoids" split off and become a group of small monsters.
>Their goal is return to Godzilla's body.
>Godzilla during his freezing, built up energy, and frees himself.
>His body changed and becomes a "Stable" form do to the other creatures separating from him.

>>14843008

>>14843156
Gunbuster is one of my favorite anime productions ever made, and Cutie Honey is an awesome movie.

>>14843172

It's seriously great.

You could make an honest case that 1954 and Shin are the only movies in the franchise that are actual good "films" and not just "Good for a kaiju movie"

>>14843242
It's not.

>>14843254
I'd accept a sequel that was a mix of 1 and 4.

My own personal theory is that Godzillanoids are the individual microorganisms that went into the Shin Aggregate, they're basically 6 foot tall humanoid singular cells with properties of Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes.

1954 and Shin are simply good.

2014 is an average Hollywood schlock.

Millenium Mecha Godzilla is an interesting attempt at making converting a mecha anime into live action.

All the rest are garbage.

>>14843156

It's more than Eva is sort of Anno at his most unfiltered in that it's pretty much all of his recurring tropes, archetypes and imagery squeezed into one work, so it's logical that everything else he does is going to feel reminiscent of it.

It's sort of like how everything Cronenberg does calls back to his early body horror stuff, or like how Paranoia Agent kind of sums up everything Kon was about

>>14843172
It's actually an enjoyable drama in its own right. It just happens to include a giant lizard.

>>14843290

Also, let's be real, Eva owes a lot to old Toho stuff, so it's fitting that he'd wind up repaying the debt some way or another.

>>14843156
Your friend's a fucking moron, shut the fuck up and watch Eva and judge for yourself.

>>14843190

I kind of want Shin to be left alone and for the next big Godzilla thing to be the anime.

I feel like if they make Shin into the backbone of a new timeline, it'll honestly take away from it. Shin feels really self-contained, even with the stinger at the end.

So tell me, will there be any scenes that are set in the rain so Higuchi can see through the actresses shirts?

>>14843345

2014 had the potential to be great, but it just had the wrong protagonist. I really blame the script more than I blame Edwards, he did what he could with it, and he did manage to come up with a killer first act and a decently entertaining final act. But he just couldn't fix the big chunk of dead air that was the middle.

>>14843172

During Godzilla arrival to Hawaii, there was a beach party going on and a dog was tied to a tree.
Once the wave caused by Godzilla began heading to shore, the dog broke the leash and run off.
During the Wave crashing through the city, the dog outruns the wave and "Gets to safety".

The problem I had with the dog was that though all the work that Gareth put into making a "realistic Godzilla" and a "Grounded Universe", a dog manages to escape a giant tidal wave that's ripping the area apart and flooding everything.

After the success of the recent American Godzilla film, directed by Star Wars: Rogue One main man Gareth Edwards, Japan’s venerable Toho Studios decided they too would dust off the old Kaiju for a new audience, tapping Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi, veterans of the cult anime franchise Neon Genesis Evangelion, to direct. A new Godzilla movie from the original studio, helmed by two legends of anime? What could possibly go wrong?

Plenty, as it turns out. Or perhaps everything goes right, but the object of the exercise is to satirise Japanese bureaucracy in a manner that is largely impenetrable to outside audiences. Shin Godzilla – or Godzilla Resurgence, depending on where you are in the world – commits the cardinal sin of a monster movie: it’s a bore.

This is a reboot, so the broad strokes of the plot should be familiar to almost everyone: a giant reptile comes rampaging out of Tokyo Bay and begins laying waste to Japan; Japan responds, destruction reigns. That’s a versatile frame on which to hang all manner of narrative detail, but Anno and Higuchi have chosen to focus on the politicking and legislative procedure that goes into mounting a response, rather than the response itself. We should be seeing a desperate rearguard action against an unstoppable monster by overwhelmed human forces; instead, most of Shin Godzilla takes place indoors as we sit through a numbing number of meetings, conferences, debates and arguments as various interests try and maneuver around a Prime Minister too scared of potential political fallout to act decisively. Our nominal hero is Rando Yaguchi (Hiroki Hasegawa), a government functionary who puts together a maverick think tank to try and solve a problem like Godzilla, but in truth there’s not much to differentiate him from the army of suits he’s surrounded by. A few slightly more colourful characters crop up, such as Satomi Ishihara’s (allegedly) American envoy, but the human cast is basically awash.

>>14843374
Shin Godzilla is a conga line of baffling choices. Why tell this story in this way? Why take the focus off the carnage and put it on the mechanics of government? Who the hell, to put it bluntly, thought this was a good idea? The whole exercise gets a generous mark because, hey, Godzilla, but this is definitely one of the weakest entries in the long-running series. Fans may enjoy those familiar old neural receptors being pinged once more, but don’t expect this effort to make any new converts.

>>14843346

Did anyone else notice some familiar character archetypes from Eva too?

>Ogashira is adult Rei

>Patterson is adult Soryu

>Yaguchi and his friend with the glasses are pretty much genderflipped Misato and Ritsuko: one is the hotblooded idealist prone to barking orders, the other is the aloof pragmatist who works with the higher ups

>that one younger, mousy looking guy with the shaggy bowl hair on yaguchi's team has serious Shinji vibes

>Not eva related, but Yaguchi's underling gave me serious Dr. Who vibes

>>14843327
Don't forget the misleading marketing, and that they decided partway through that the MUTOs should be kept a secret. I remember that they were mentioned in early publicity material but later they tried to make it seem like Godzilla's the only monster in it.

All this, and Godzilla's more heroic portrayal were too much to swallow for audiences who were expecting a different film. It was a shitty introduction to Godzilla for newcomers. At least, most non-fans I read comments from absolutely hated it and it just drove them farther away from the franchise.

That early leaked teaser with the Oppenheimer quote did some damage too. It got people way too hyped for a serious, somber disaster movie filled with death, even though it wasn't meant to be indicative of the film's final tone.

>>14843385
I'm still unclear if the early footage leaked and then someone slapped the Oppenheimer over it because I think there were a couple versions floating around.

>>14843370
That's why I put "Gets to safety".
It's implied through the scene that the dog "Got away" through the way the scene was shot.

I saw the movie 4 times, and each time I watch, the audience was scared to death for the poor doggie, clapped, cheered, gave a breath of relief when it got away.
The dog escaping makes the movie seem lighthearted and pushed away from the narrative that it was pushing for.

It's like watching the Tom and Jerry episode featuring the baby in a construction site. You know that the baby is never going to be harmed and that everything will "Work out" in the baby's favor.

>>14843177
Fuck, I wouldn't mind seeing the zilla-spawn growing into different kaiju, then Big G waking up to fight them.

>>14843374

Reviews like this kind of remind me of some of those clueless reviews of The Dark Knight that couldn't get past a superhero movie being as dark/"realistic" as it was, and wound up just missing the point of the movie entirely.

In both cases you have a bunch of professional reviewers who take this whole genre-ghetto effect for granted, have this fixed, rigid image of what certain kinds of movies should or should not do in order to be "good", and then when a movie comes along to break that mold, they just get confused and get irritated at the movie for not following the genre script they built up in their heads.

>>14843395
This seems like a really weird thing to get angry about, anon.

>>14843199
>I hope they don't make a sequel to Shin Godzilla without Anno.

>It's implied through the scene that the dog "Got away" through the way the scene was shot.
It could be implied to get swamped off screen because there's no need to be super grim and depict the drowning of a puppy to rub in that disasters are bad. The street gets awfully wet seconds later.

>The teaser's Oppenheimer speech was legit, and the monster was just a placeholder.

>The Teaser was just a concept that was pitched to Legendary in order to get the film made, then was used as a "teaser" for Comic Con.

>Gareth wanted the movie itself to be darker in tone, but fun for a family to enjoy. The goal was to redeem America from the 98 film, while making something that was new and stood on it's own.

>Godzilla's heroic portrayal was inspired by the T-Rex from Jurassic Park.

>Gareth loved the way the T-Rex was the greatest enemy and greatest savoir, so he incorporated that within G14's actions, but to a lesser extent.

>Instead of Godzilla chasing after people and trying to kill what he sees, He would destroy and kill unintentionally through his size and when provoked.

If Gareth did anything right, the MUTOs and Godzilla's characterizations were very enjoyable.
I especially like how you can tell Godzilla is an old man of sorts. From the constant grimace to his general look.

>>14843452
Because, Shin Godzilla, you're urine is laced with Deuterium...which is horribly radioactive.

>>14843454
It actually slightly disappoints me that the next Legendary movies will have familiar monsters.
The MUTOs were great, and I liked how they looked and indeed personified. I would definitely want to see what new monsters they could come up with.

Well most of the work was getting Godzilla "completely right" and "real".
Apparently that's kinda what they wanted in the design process. A Creature being millions of years old and waken up while trying to sleep.

During brainstorming someone mentioned that "How about we use a Godzilla monster to fight Godzilla?". Toho refused and wanted Godzilla to fight something original in the event that the film bombed, so that none of their property would look bad.

Toho are a pain in the ass to deal with and were very strict on a lot of the choices on the film.

They we're fine with the Godzilla design because it "Barely looked like Godzilla", much like how the Hanna-Barbera or the Marvel Godzilla looked. It was far away from the "real Godzilla" to be seen as a "knock off" if the film was bad.

Yes it's stupid, but these are the same people who bitched about the different player colors(Red,Blue,Green if all picked Godzilla 2000) for the Pipework/Atari fighting games.

>>14843512
>"And didn't Japan end up loving Legendary's design?"

Japan as a whole, cant say.
Many who watched the film, no.
They laughed at the design and stated that it perfectly represented the "American Lifestyle".
"The Japanese" like to wrap Zilla and G14 into the same package, because they look similar(Zilla is a skinny G14, G14 is a fat Zilla).

Haruo Nakajima really liked the design though.

>>14843470
Haven't kept in touch much with that group, but apparently he loved it.

>Calling Legendary fat

>>14843540

>>14843540

G14's characterization really did feel like if Showa godzilla reached Clint Eastwood levels of done-with-this-shit, and I really liked that.

>>14843521

Actually, come of think of it, I'm curious what Nakajima thought of Shin. Or Satsuma, for that matter

>>14843554

>the male MUTO going OH SHI- once he noticed Godzilla looming over him

>>14843562
They probably loved it as well.
They loved Legendary's Godzilla because it brought back the heroic one that was really loved back in the day. Now Shin Goji brought back the reason why Godzilla is famous, because he started out as a horrifying monster.

>>14843579
No, the "Fatzilla" comments definitely came from 2ch, which were then blown out of proportion as being that all Japanese people think that, when it was really just a few faggots on 2ch having a laugh

>>14843554
The joke I have about LegendaryZilla is pretty much yes he's old, grumpy, and real sick of monsters starting up shit.

He's not enthusiastic about things so he doesn't deliberately tear the neighborhood up like some youngun, but he has no patience for little shits doing stupid stuff in his neighborhood.

I mean, it's true he's completely missing the point of the movie, but at the same time, he DOES have a point.

It does get rather dry and stale at times over the course of the movie and it really would have benefited from more scenes like the one towards the middle where Godzilla goes full Giant God Warrior on everything

Speaking of, I rewatched GGW earlier today and boy does the puppet not live up to what I remembered it looking like. Wish they would have done that in the same CG they used here

>>14843181
>became a close student of Miyazaki.
Not really student. Just friends. He had no time to be a student due to other work.

He did a fuckton of effect animation before Nausicaa, including on SDF Macross, got noticed, did the big scene in Nausicaa, then went back to doing a fuckton more of effects animation here and there before Honneamise and settling down with his own studio.

>Beforehand he was working a deadend job and living at work.
That deadend job being a key animator and sleeping at work is disgustingly common.

Nausicaa was nowhere near a jumpstart. SDF was. By the time did Nausicaa he had the reputation to have the ability to choose what to work on.

It's certainly not as bad as a lot of reviewers are making it out to be, but there are points where it dragged

>>14843908
And I am now picturing a production of Monty Python and the Holy Grail where all the knights are different Godzilla's

Destroyah is the Black Knight, the Green Knight it kills is Hedorah.

It's also the population of the Castle Anthrax and Hedorah makes a return as the three headed giant.

They later reconcile their differences and return combined as the Legendary Black Beast of SKREEEOOOOONK (and eat Zilla) before the Godzilla's deviate from the original plot somewhat and use their combined atomic breath to incinerate the shit out of them (because the entire CGI department suffering a fatal heart attack would kind of kill off the movie).

Hedorah and Destroyah have no luck in the movie.

>>14843897

>>14843917
I got the impression that it was supposed to drag at points as a critique of the bureaucratic inefficiency and lack of political resolve that impeded the government's initial response. The ending, however, was full of grumbling about how Japan aren't America's bitch boys anymore and the English dialogue scenes were too stilted.

This could work, maybe bung some elements of Destroyah in there, maybe have Destroyah as a representation of the dangers of antibiotic overuse in conjuncture with HeLa cells and improper disposal of biohazardous waste.

Basically Destroyah starts as Hela Cells implanted with different mitochondria to study how replication rates in cells are affected by mitochondria. Things spiral out of control when a small number of the cells contaminate a CRISPR research project studying ways or replicating Tardigrade physiology in humans (why a lab would be working on these two things in the same building I don't know).

What we end up with is a mass of rapidly replicating immortal cells that can enter suspended animation and later develop the ability to redifferentitate themselves into various tissue types.

The human characters were pretty awesome. All of them. I really enjoyed the dynamic between Yaguchi and Patterson. The dialogue and meetings never bored me. Even in the third act. Although I question some lines and how they were delivered. Honestly, I think I could watch a film starring these characters with or without Godzilla. I could only say this about like ten other Godzilla films.

>>14844555
I think its because Anno made the meeting scenes really fast paced, unlike the ones in past films.

>>14844556
Yeah, Anno's direction was great and unique for the series. However, it also reminded me of the characters of films like Gojira, Mothra vs Godzilla, and Ghidorah. Which are among my favorites. So I'm assuming the actors and actresses are just naturally charismatic, like Akira Takarada and his co-stars.

I think the statement is wrong more because there are multiple episodes of Eva in it. I thought more of Episode 6 and the Iruel episode, the one that was had influence from The Andromeda Strain where Eva combat wasn't the answer. But I definitely see Episode 1, with the explosion of spray sited off the coast and the surprised authorities shown-up by the more useful renegades. And then, from End of Eva, you had those faceless American officials standing in front of the tall windows being all "this bombing can't be helped", like the PM in Tokyo-2 in EoE.

I understand that people often make silly comparisons between Eva and other things. But if you think someone is pretentious because they're reminded of Eva by a movie directed by Anno, and scored by Sagisu reusing the same track from Eva, you've become too sensitive.

Although I love this blank slate Shin has given us, I would've liked to see another branch from '54 that really explores the Oxygen Destroyer. We had vs. Destroyah, which was a good movie, although I would've preferred if Destroyah's design reflected the concept of an OD in some way. But what I'm talking about is, if Serizawa decided that he had to die to keep the world safe from an Oxygen Destroyer being used in war, well, what would OD-based warfare look like?

Godzilla probably isn't the place to fictionalize wars between actual nations, so I guess you'd want some sort of fictional rogue state, terrorist group, or rapidly-growing new order. (I've never seen the old Mothra movie, but I read that it has a fictional nation like a cross between the US and Russia.) But imagine navies firing Oxygen Destroyer torpedoes to disintegrate anything along Japan's coastlines, or the OD repurposed to "dissolve the oxygen" in the air above land. And then nations supplement their OD arsenal with kaiju, and Godzilla gets involved.

While I'm throwing out unrealistic ideas for kaiju films, Shin Godzilla had me thinking about using a kaiju rampage to explore the workings of governments other than red-taped bureaucracies of democratic "tributary states". Kim Jong Il liked movies enough to order a North Korean kaiju movie, right? Imagine a movie about the North Korean government's response to a kaiju landfall north of the 38th parallel. What modicum of concern they'd show for the poor citizens in its path, how the Supreme Leader would try to maintain power, what consequences it could have for China, South Korea, and Japan. I'm guessing that film couldn't be made in Japan, though.

I can only think of the Patterson president-to-be, and the unseen military volunteers for the final battle. The interesting case was the American scientist who briefly joined the task force. On the one hand he's working alongside the heroes and seems to be having the same sort of hard-working "fun" they are. Then he walks out and gives that cringe-y robotic line about OUR NUCLEAR WISDOM.

I wonder why so many native-English-speaking actors and voice actors in Japanese movies give such strange performances. Are they just the bottom of the barrel in terms of line delivery? Or could that be the English equivalent of how Japanese line delivery sounds to native Japanese-speakers, and they just want it to be consistent...

>>14844017
That's an incredibly hard call for me.
On one hand I really love Persecution of the Masses but its placement in the movie is a bit silly.

Personally I don't find anything offensive about ATJ other than being overused. He's like a supporting character that had MC screentime. The older cast (preferably with Cranston alive) should have been given the focus in the middle. The HALO jump is the perfect time to change the perspective to Ford's exploits in the city.

The thing about Shin is that it's half a comedy and I think that's partly why it's easier to find the characters likeable. 2014 is pretty serious, and in that context I quite like the admiral. He was adamant about the nuke but was not caricatured to death. That, I feel, is one of the things that 2014 did better. I don't find seriousness dull, just Ford having too little character for the amount of action he's in.

Love the kaiju. MUTOs are visually distinct (cloverfield my ass) and have character (like goji). Hating them is just bad taste to me. Also, the tone helps with their displays of character. It's nice to see they're not just plot devices in a serious film.

And for all the complaints about America wanking, there sure wasn't a modern nuke blowing up in Shin.

>>14844907
I always assumed it was bottom of the barrel, because you have that language barrier to acting so lines don't particularly matter audience-wise unless you're well versed with that language.

Why hire someone who can act when your audience can't even understand him, ya know?

Really?
Can't say the same; even when I first watched it they looked like a rehash of some other design, but one I couldn't put my finger on.

Are there any Anno interviews for Shin Godzilla out there?
I can only find one, and it's very brief.

My only guess is Megaguirus.
That's what I thought they were at first, I remember feeling puzzled as to why they were chosen for this reboot

>>14844956
I was reminded of the Gyaos since they shared a similar shape.

>>14844922
G2014 is a character driven drama with terrible characters, making it an inherently broken film. This is made more frustrating due to the teasing and deplorable second act.

>>14844971
Megaguirus is the least interesting main Godzilla villain and I have no idea why his movie exists.

>>14844982
I-I like the movie.

>>14844987
I do too! I like that big jump Godzilla does.

>>14844992
Ah right, I guess I forgot him because I wasn't sure if it was encouragement or discouragement.

>>14844982
At least the idea behind him is cool right?
He's like a pre-historic black hole bug from an alternate universe, eh? Ehhhhh?

It's honestly kinda hard to predict with Toho. They've done quite a few things with the property. But now they have an obvious booming success with Anno's Shin Godzilla. What they have to do now is determine what the auidence liked about it. Did they like it because of the names attached? Is the the nostalgia? Did they like the satire and narrative questions? The shock value? The fact of the matter is, it's hard to tell from oversees.

Will they continue with the Shin continuity? It's certainly possible. Without Anno? Maybe. They could just wait until he's done with Eva Final, but that's a while. As for how the story would go, I think most of the ideas thrown around here are pretty viable. The anime should be interesting too.

Is Shin Godzilla the strongest version of Godzilla to date?

>>14844139

>>14845653
His beam spam costs a lot of energy, and he's pretty slow. I'd say he and Legendary Goji are pretty equal for different reasons.

>>14845653
I'd put my money on FinalGoji still being the strongest

>>14845660
Final Goji shouldn't even be considered for power ranking stuff. He's a Platinum Games protagonist for Godzillas sake.

>>14845419
I am definitely getting the Figuarts, and I don't even buy that many figures.

And I would be all over some vinyl SD Shins.

>>14845660
This. FinalGoji was able to lift Kaiser Ghidorah and through him, destroyed a small planet with his Atomic Breath, all after slaughtering 9 other monsters before that AND swimming from Antarctica to Japan. Shin gets winded and has to take a nap after burning down a chunk of Tokyo.

>>14844921

>>14843190
I was wondering about Godzilla's classic fellow kaiju, but first it's hard to imagine them in the Shin-verse, and second the Legendary films are already going to have the big names covered.

Then I thought about MechaGodzilla, who would be pretty pointless to do in the Legendary films, but I'd expect the Shin guys to do something really interesting with it.

I also expect that Rando and Patterson will be PM and President in any future sequels.

Hands down. Two scenes do it for me:

> First Scene
"The world is ruined, and the war is already lost. Now it's just a matter of pride. We either die hiding... or die fighting."

> Second Scene
"List, kid. There's two things you don't know about the Earth. One is me, and the other is... Godzilla."

Still not exactly sure what his aim was.
Was it the potential memories of Goro? If so, why the song?

>>14845697
Him revealing his plan to defeat the alien invasion is one of my favorite parts of the movie.

>>14845733
Jim Pluff is of the opinion that the song isn't about Godzilla. Ask him and he'll probably go into detail now that the film has released in the US.

This, please. I honestly don't care what country it takes place in, seeing how different cultures of that time would react to something like Godzilla would be really cool. Other than Pulgasari I don't think there's ever been a period piece monster movie.
