Revenge

Kaiju Daisenso

Unironically, Destroy All Monsters

>>15645395
Monster Zero, I saw it first, and it's right at the point before Showa goes completely off the deep end.

>>15645395
Vs. Megalon, the perfect display of Showa campiness and cheese. PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH

Shin was also pretty damn good.

>>15645524
I'm still sad that they never used Jet Jaguar again, aside from Godzilla Island. I remember a friend of mine telling me that japs hate Jet Jaguar, someone knows if that is true?

Seconding >>15645785

It's probably the most boring answer but it's just such an expertly crafted film.

>>15645395
Shin, no doubt.
Original Godzilla as a close second.

aye does anyone have a screencap or a direct link to the part of your world lyric rewrite post that was on here that someone did when shin godzilla came out. it was really good

>>15645856
Kurosawa supposedly was interested in making a Godzilla film. But, so the story goes, Toho was afraid of what the budget for such an endeavor might be and nipped it in the bud.

>>15645395
Invasion of the Astro Monster. It has a nice humanity fuck yeah vibe to it during the last twenty minutes when the military just bombs the ever loving shit out of the alien scum while this plays in the background.

What are the chances of this being good? Red pill me.

Vs. the Smog Monster. Liked the media coverage presented throughout the movie, and that Hedorah (my favorite Godzilla kaiju design) did a good job paralleling a different example of humanity's mistakes. While Godzilla represents the dangers of nuclear tampering, Hedorah representing pollution as a whole.
That and the psychedelic stuff was fun. I find a lot of the Godzilla movies run a bit long and become a bit droning, but that movie kept me fairly entertained all the way through.

>>15646180
It already looks like it's meandering away from what makes Godzilla what it is, and seems like it's turned him into a generic alien threat for the sake of making it larger scale. I think Gen has like a 50/50 track record, so It could go ether way in terms of execution.

>>15645395
'98.

>>15646199
Gargantia was good and the first episode of Aldnoah Zero was decent enough. Blame appears to have been received well. All of these seem like positive signs.

I'm assuming that Godzilla will be the initial threat, however, he'll transition into something of an anti-hero after a greater evil is revealed.

>>15646158
Not him but I've watched every Godzilla movie multiple times and Shin is my favorite too. It's a really great movie. Don't be a fag.

>>15646158
Didn't really like Eva that much, but adored Shin.
Have seen most of the Toho Kaiju films too.

>>15646233
Blame! didn't have anything to do with Urobuchi though. Polygon Pictures, the studio that made Blame! is animating Godzilla though.

Tokyo SOS

I like most of them except the 2014 western one. Ones I like the best are the original for its atmosphere and tension, and Shin for managing to recapture said atmosphere and tension but in a different style.

Back in 2002, after GMK, Daiei approached Toho to co-produce a Godzilla/Gamera crossover. Toho rejected the offer. Was this a mistake?

>>15645584

Jet Jaguar is a good example of nips take on Showa stuff in general. It's silly, stupid, embarrassing but endearing all the same. They don't *hate* Jaguar/Showa per se; they just want it to stay in the past.

>>15646180

I am skeptical, to be honest. It seems like such a drastic change from the things that have made Big G what he is.

In my mind the best case scenario is that it is going to be "alright"

>>15646317
Not being a fag.

Legitimately did not like quite a few things about the movie, myself. There was really a lot of shitposting here about it from people heralding Anno as being the be all and end all of Toku stuffs, so I could not honestly tell if this was bait.

If someone legitimately thinks Shin was better than 1954, then I feel sorry for them.

>>15647514
According to the link below it happened.

Pretty sure everyone here accepts 54 being the best movie however this is a thread for personal favorites. If you pick 54 as one that's fine but you're boring and probably a doodoo sniffer.

The OG

I mean, I dig giant monsters fighting each other but the first movie is a legitimate masterpiece

Godzilla vs Mothra. If kaiju movie in general, it would be Rebirth of Mothra 3. Does that make me gay?

>>15648633
The Showa Rodan and Mechagodzilla movies are pretty good too. Mothra is probably my second favorite kaiju after Godzilla. and those TWINS, unf

I don't have one top favorite but I do have favorites in each era.

Showa - Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster

Heisei - tied between Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah and Godzilla vs. Destoroyah.

Millennium - Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack

American films - 2014 hands down. Could user a bit more editing and better characters but it was much more true to Godzilla than 98.

>>15648639
The twins are the cutest in the Rebirth triology. At least in my opinion. Their sister is cute too.

Does anyone have the screencap of that one thread where it's a "Where Are They Now?" for kaiju? I thought I had it on this HDD but I guess not.

>>15646175
I'm essentially along the lines of this. Good taste.

Unironically 1998 Zilla.

>>15645395
Neither of those two.

Banno's Godzilla vs Hedorah is a pretty unconventional adventure, at least by this series and mainstream film standards, for about 2/3 of its running time. Although its third act is a little less ambitious, it concludes on a satisfactory note. Pretty similar to Shin Godzilla actually.

Shout out to Ken. One of the better child protagonists in the entire genre. But Gamera the Brave has the best child characters and, in general, doesn't get enough love. I think it's better than Advent of Legion.

1954 Godzilla, of course
Shin Godzilla
Vs Hedora
Terror of Mechagodzilla
Ghidorah

I've only seen a handful, I'd go with Final Wars. Though Shin, Gojira, and Vs Mothra were also excellent in my opinion

>>15648610
I really liked the first and third Rebirth of Mothra movies, and wonder why they get so much hate.
Second one feels kind of pointless even if the action is alright though.

>>15649294
>Pretty similar to Shin Godzilla actually.
Shin Godzilla's gradual growth/change of shape reminded me of Hedorah a lot.
When they started inspecting the individual cells of Shin, it reminded me of when they examined the little petri dish with part of Hedorah in it.
No idea if any of that was deliberate.

>>15649757
Is this SUPPOSED to evoke 1998 Godzilla? Cause it looks more like a mix of that and a Zone of the Enders mech (same designer I assume) than an Eva mixed with Toho Zilla.

>>15650315
Would Z be the cheapest monster to buy the rights too? I heard Mothra, Anguirus and the like were expensive as fuck

>>15651064
Um,no

anno is a genius and everything he does is original

As a film? The original Gojira, it's a very serious film and was treating without the smallest bit of irony or joking in its subject matter, hence why the creature is a metaphor more than anything.

For just plain old fun? Probably GMK.

>>15646180
How is any of that even Godzilla?

>>15645584
I always assumed they legally couldn't because it's a little too close to Ultraman, but Tsurubaya designed both Ultraman and Godzilla so they should be fine.

>>15645785
They look mildly concerned

>>15651349
Toho already made Zone Fighter in the 70's. So I doubt that it is for fear of legal action.

Let me just say, as a Kaiju I think Space Godzilla is cool as shit. But how can you honestly think that movie was even decent?

>>15651522
I'm gonna go ahead and answer you for him. Subtlety. If even Anno could manage it with Shin Godzilla despite the edgy design, then Urochuchi should be able to have some self control too. The premise just sounds convoluted for the sake of it, and I doubt they will be able to make full use of it in three movies.

Anno and the other directors faced serious budget and technological limitations. Remember that Honda had bigger plans for Destroy All Monsters? Urobuchi is working in a medium where the possibilities are endless. He's just using the freedom anime will allow him. Not saying this is for the best, just explaining where he's likely coming from. Still I'd prefer a Satoshi Kon (RIP), Miyazaki, or a Kazunori Itō working on this. Maybe even Makoto Shinkai or Kojima.

>>15653684

>Do you know something the rest of us don't?

Toho thought of everything. If this doesn't work, a Godzilla anime WILL never work. I think they're being very careful because of how taboo making Godzilla into anime is.

>inb4 what about Godzilla land

Here's my prediction that will 100% happen:

The trilogy is going to be pretty good, but will rub a lot of people the wrong way. It's trying to be both a human drama and a monster film and will actually succeed.
Because it's going to be the polar opposite of Shin, that in itself means a lot of people won't accept it, not because it's good or bad, but because it's not their cup of tea. Which is fine.

>>15653874
>If this doesn't work, a Godzilla anime WILL never work
That's an even bolder claim. I think traditional animation would have garnered a stronger reception. Not to mention age better. And as a few anons have said above, the story sounds a bit convoluted.

What would the poplar opposite of Shin Godzilla be? It rustled some jimmies. Remember #notmygodzilla?

>>15654119
>Remember #notmygodzilla?
no because I don't go by faggot sites

>>15654119
3DCG is another obstacle it has for it, before it can get accepted and will no doubt decrease the amount of potential viewers.
I think themes and story are more important, if they failed at making a 3D anime, they'll surely fail at making a 2D anime.

It's polar opposite in terms of approach to a Godzilla story even though they're featuring a similar depiction of Godzilla.
Shin was made with the intent to serve as the base and foundation, it remade Godzilla with today's nip sensibilities.
Anime Godzilla is trying to distill the history of the franchise in 3 movies while still retaining the original depiction of Godzila from 54 and now Shin.

Shin is elegant and simple while Anime Godzilla will feel bloated and over the top.

>Has the bloated and over the top approach ever worked for an anime film?

Can't think of one. But Toho seems to know what they're doing so I'm fairly optimistic.

I'm split between
>Godzilla vs. Destroyah
>Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla
>Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla II

>>15654212

The original is a classic for a reason, it really is the best. It's been nearly a year since I've seen it, but I might put Shin at 2nd, with 1964 Mothra Vs and GMK tied for 3rd. As much as I grew up watching Godzilla as the defender of earth, I do feel the best movies for whatever reason are the ones where he's the villain

>>15664817
This sexy list. What would you consider to be the best of the hero films? I say Hedorah, Monster Zero, and Ghidorah. Perhaps MechaGodzilla 74 as well.

Out of the hero films? I'd probably have VS Destroyah 1st, Terror of Mechagodzilla 2nd, with Ghidorah the 3-Headed Monster 3rd. Was going to put DAM 3rd for the sheer amount of monsters, but Ghidorah just edges it out. Special mention goes to VS Gigan as a personal favorite despite knowing it's really mediocre at best, but it's got all 4 of my favorite monsters. I must have rented that movie a dozen times as a kid.

In general though, I feel the Heisei Gamera trilogy did the hero thing better.

Tough to say. Destroyah's case, I just felt it was the right way to end the Heisei series, and the ending gets me every time. ToM is a bit harder to pin down, but there's something about it I feel works a little better than MechaG '74, although it may be because I'm 90% sure it was the first Godzilla movie I ever saw, so there may be some rosy retrospection there. Also, both ToM and Destroyah saw Ifukube at the top of his game, I can say without hesitation I think ToM has a better score than GvMG. DoM is a bit harder to justify, it's really nothing special other than being a smorgasbord of Toho monsters, particularly the battle at the end.

Is there an explanation given in the movie to what Shin Godzilla actually is?

I mean, all the other movies seem to use, or at least reference the fact that Godzilla is supposed to me an irradiated dinosaur or dinosaur-like creature.

But wtf is shingoji? Is he some kind of giant colony of bacteria or something? Or do they generally keep it vague throughout the film

I've watched shin, but I don't recall if they focused on his origin, much. All the dialogue was going by so fast

>>15665959
If I remember correctly, it was some previously undiscovered underwater life form with variable DNA, which radioactive material caused to go kind of haywire

What's wrong with Ghidrah?

Though I do consider Monster Zero to be the better of the two. Takarada and Adam's chemistry was something magical (MZ has some of the best human drama in general) and the monster action was more polished than in its predecessor.

>What's wrong with Ghidrah?
I personally found the whole film boring as fuck, the entire human plot was too uninteresting and drawn-out, and all the stuff about the space mind control and the assassins just drew away way too much focus from the more interesting monster plot. And the battle at the end was nothing spectacular, somehow too goofy and unimaginative at the same time. Like a shitty spy thriller and a shitty kaiju movie slapped into one.
The only thing I appreciate about the movie is its historical significance and the labor that went into creating the monster effects.

>>15651492

That sounds like a far-future cruhzay sequel to Shin Godzilla, and I am all in.

Not my favorite but I prefer Godzilla 1998 better than most Toho films, seriously the majority are shit.

Huh? I enjoyed the relationship between Shindo and the princess. Malness was an effective villain. Sure the characters don't leave as great of an impression as those of Mothra vs Godzilla or Monster Zero, though I definitely find them likable and the film maintains an acceptable balance between that and the monsters. Godzilla rushing to Mothra's defense and getting shoved aside onto the bridge by Ghidorahpushing is one of my favorite moments of the genre. There's also Rodan doing a 180° before slamming into Ghidorah and the volleyball match between the former and Godzilla. It makes the top ten best list of the series.

Only watched three of the Toho movies, and one of them was when I was really young (and even THEN it was Mothra vs. Godzilla), but Original Godzilla is probably my favorite. It's aged REALLY well, and the black and white gives it a scary, darker atmosphere. A close second would be Shin Godzilla, as while I liked how the film was done and the action scenes were great the political scenes were rather slow and jarring at times, although I DID like the realistic approach in general.

>What is there to appreciate about this one?
Not that anon, but I liked the island setting, the initial conflict between the humans, the marionette puppetry and seeing Godzilla as a calmly sleeping lummox and then develop as a father was at the very least interesting. The ending's pretty heartwarming.
But maybe I'm too forgiving, since this was the first Japanese Godzilla movie that I saw parts from, so I had this curiosity in me for a long time before I watched the entire thing. I still think the film is mediocre overall. Minilla's antics bring it down and the human story just stops being interesting in the second half.

Just out of curiosity, are there any Godzilla films (or those like it I suppose) with a past/historical setting? My only familiarity with the franchise is the 90s American one that everyone and their moms have watched at some point.

>>15669273
So humans all leave the Earth because Godzilla is a jerk.
And head off into space towards a direction which takes them to a planet they have no information on and think they can settle there.
But that planet is a shithole.
So they return back to the Earth which was a shithole already because of Godzilla.
Except now it is an even bigger shithole.

I do not comprehend humanity's logic.

No, not really. Most of the films generally take place in the year they were filmed, with a few of the older ones taking place in the future. The only past/historical time I can think of is a small segment from Godzilla VS King Ghidorah that shows a pre-mutation Godzilla during WWII, that's it really.

If we're going to settle on a shithole, we might as well do it on our own shithole.

But humanity didn't have the means to do so back when it was just Godzilla.
So they went up into space for what passes for x number of years with just whatever resources they carried with them. Now returning to Earth, the whole planet is own by monsters. If they couldn't take down one Godzilla back then with a larger pool of resources then coming back with what is left isn't going to do anything against a world that's against them.

I don't think most critics or general audience members cared whether it was respectful to the source material. They simply wanted a good time at the movies. Similar to what they got with Independence Day. However, given its inability to meet even heavily revised expectations and the shelves of merchandise that went unsold, I'm left convinced that people rejected the film itself.

Just because you "In before" doesn't make it automatically not true, many of the criticisms that befall Godzilla 2014 can apply just as easily to several of the japanese movies.
That being said, I too am scratching my head as to why one would consider 2014 their favorite. I don't think it's a bad godzilla film by any means, I place it squarely on the good half of the movies and a much better attempt than '98, but outside of the fatality and a few really nice shots I think it felt most like a Heisei movie. Not terrible, but not one of the best. Which is sad, because the potential was there, it could have been much better if they focused more on Joe Brody than his son, and I think they over used the "cut-away-as-a-fight-starts" cocktease too many times. I can forgive it being done once or even twice to save the good stuff for the final battle, but they pulled that shit like 4-5 times.

This is the problem I have with the "it's the same" line of reasoning

> Screen time for Godzilla
Godzilla 2014 is thirty minutes longer (in some cases forty minutes) than the vast majority of Godzilla movies. Yet it falls towards the bottom of the list on how much it features the title character. He has 10 minutes of screen time in a two hour movie. Much of which goes towards "cinematic foreplay", as Edwards calls it. Both Godzilla Final Wars and Shin Godzilla are approximately the same running time as the film in question, however, Godzilla gets 15 minutes and 18 minutes respectively. So the screen time complaint is indeed a valid issue. Take thirty minutes of dead weight and throw it into your favorite film. It'll change your opinion concerning it quite dramatically.

Godzilla is also fairly easy to remove from the story without the need for many serious alterations. He could not show up at all until the third act and virtually nothing would be different. No presence when not onscreen and he's hardly onscreen.

> Characters
Early in the movie everyone except the protagonist is either killed or reduced to window dressing. Unfortunately, Ford Brody has no charisma whatsoever and no one interesting to interact with. Due to the decision to be a human drama first and foremost, nearly all of the action is pushed to the third act and even then its frequently interrupted by the characters.

The Japanese films have ensemble casts (we get to see different personalities bounce off one another) and better balance the screen time/focus between humans and monsters. And there isn't any teasing to worry about when it's time to let the monsters loose. Plus the movies are typically half an hour shorter. These are important differences to take into consideration.

>>15673255
>I think most people agree it would be a fine monster flick
>I'm left convinced that people rejected the film itself.
I don't think it's as clear cut as either. It wasn't the fuckhuge mega hit the execs were hoping for, its tie-in merchandising empire crumbled and a sequel was out of question. But the movie itself did passable, if unremarkable, business overall, and from what I gather, it was way better received internationally and the home video release did pretty well too. So there clearly was an audience for it, whether the creators and the Godzilla fanbase realize it or not.

Godzilla (1998) cost $130 million to produce and only made $379 million worldwide. Compare its gross to the films it was anticipated to match or surpass.

Titanic: $1.84 billion
Independence Day: $817.4 million
Jurassic Park: $900 million
Phantom Menace: $924.3 million

Critics ripped it to shreds. Attacking it from every direction. It was nominated for five Golden Raspberry Awards (worst remake/reimagining, worst director, worst screenplay, worst picture, worst supporting actress) and won two.

Of course it didn't outright flop. Someone watched it. The hype was huge. But for a film with as much goodwill (ID4 was that popular) behind it as this and one of the most extensive marketing campaigns ever (Taco Bell anyone?), there was more than "it didn't respect Godzilla" at work. Has any blockbuster failed this horribly to live up to expectations?

Yes, it's what I'm saying. It was unarguably a disappointment at the end of the day, but it still had some kind of base of its own, so it wasn't as universally derided as some say. Not talking about this thread, just in general. It seems that sometimes the bare notion that there were viewers who liked it causes Godzilla fans to go into full denial mode.
Like I mentioned, it apparently had decent video sales/rentals, it was very successful in some foreign territories (3rd highest grossing movie of the year in total numbers, as opposed to the US where it landed in 9th place I believe, and there have been a few fans who confirmed that people in their countries overwhelmingly liked it), and the director also said it was his most popular film with kids.
Just to reiterate, I'm not arguing it was a shitty fucking mess of a film and a failed endeavor, but it wasn't really a complete failure that everyone rejected either. But funnily enough, I've also seen people claim that it was some big, beloved success that only the critics didn't like, which is also false.

Thematically it's far divorced from Shin Godzilla which actually ended up being rooted firmly in the themes of the original film, with some modern political commentary thrown in. This new series all just sounds like absurdist power fantasy.

>>15684176
Everyone fucking said that. It was one guy insisting a new design was hiding behind that nearly identical silhouette.

>>15685892
Incredible, they set up the Capsules gang in Kong and everything.

>>15684176
It looks like they took a model of 2014 and gave it Shin's texture mapping.

Ew

i really hope this is true
what if legendary have the rights to other kaijus and the just have it in secret for the post credit escenes of Godzilla 2 and kong vs godzilla?

>>15686057
Destroyah should be Godzilla's personal fight.

Isnt supposed to be an allegory for Hiroshima survivors having been deformed?

>>15686431
I get that vibe from the 'writhing' position of his arms in Shin, but I think originally it was just stubby T-rex arms.

>>15686289
We might find out if Legendary got more kaiju at SDCC this year honestly. It might be too early but we could even get a few more movie announcements.

What kaiju do you guys want to see show up later in the MonsterVerse? It'd be stellar if Legendary could get Gamera somehow, or even Ultraman.

Godzilla '14 left me so disappointed I haven't seen Skull Island and I'm not excited about any of the other Legendary entries either.

> Captures the tone of the early Showa films
Eh. Not really. G2000, GMK, and Shin are much better examples of that.

>>15687564
It's still somber and less light-hearted than other Godzilla films. Should say it's more like Heisei if anything though.

>>15687539
>It'd be stellar if Legendary could get Gamera somehow, or even Ultraman
The chance of Ultraman happening is so low that it's painful. American audiences would probably laugh at Ultraman or Jet Jaguar unless they had some heavy redesigns or had an extreme tonal shift.

They're gonna make Ultraman like the manga, calling it now. I mean, I don't think that's a bad thing though, I really like the manga; it's just super different.

This. Isn't there still a major copyright dispute between Tsuburaya Productions and Chaiyo Productions?

>>15687570
Return of Godzilla would be the most appropriate comparison in terms of tone. Except RoG has a far superior score that compliments the movie. Besides Vs Biollante and Vs Destoroyah, the other Heisei films are honestly pretty light. All of them offer copious amounts of Godzilla. Between 15-20 minutes each.

We still don't have a good view from the front or a good view of the head, so it's possible the 2014 resemblance is in profile only

You got it backwards. Godzilla is from earth. Aliens actually are trying to help fight him.

What? GMK is like the ultimate outlier when it comes to theme and Godzilla's behavior. He's not a force of nature anymore, but an evil demon.

>>15687636
You are just setting yourself up for disappointment, anon. It's just Legendary Godzilla with Shin's exposed muscles.

The film itself captures the tone. It feels like a modern Honda film. Especially with the characters (reporters and military). Slightly exaggerating Godzilla's maliciousness doesn't change that. In the original film Godzilla isn't all that sympathetic either and he directly targets fleeing civilians with his breath on multiple occasions.

We'd have a higher likelihood of Lionsgate making a Kamen Rider movie than we would an American Ultraman movie

>>15687625

>Rodan and Mothra movies

Nobody would watch those. It'd be too risky for Legendary to try.

>>15688860
like guardians of the galaxy, dr strange, black panther and other superheroes movies were risky?
If they give them a good personality like they did with Godzilla and Kong i can bet that people would watch those movies.

Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla. Mostly because it has my favorite batch of humans.

For what it's worth my least favorite Vs. Gigan despite Gigan being one of my favorite monsters.

>>15688882
They're monsters, they don't HAVe a personality.

>>15688896
You take that back you son of a fucking bitch. They do so have personalities.

>>15688902

Put your autism on a leash.We're all here because we like kaiju movies.

The monsterverse is still a new thing. Marvel waited for phase 2 before getting into the more "obscure" stuff. Keep in mind those are American IPs with more material for people to know of here in the states.

>>15688896
Toho kaijus have personalities.
Legendary Godzilla and Kong have personalities.

>>15688933

Kaiju will never make sassy quips, which moviegoers eat up.

Unless Anguirus shows up. Then we can expect Godzilla to say a thing or two.

Slapstick=/=sassy quips

So what did people here think of Skull Island, anyway? I went in expecting to hate it but it was actually pretty fun and I liked all the goofy shit. And there was no horribly labored ape-human romance garbage to slow it down.

>>15688967

I thought it was going to be a Wes Anderson kaiju movie from the intro(which I wouldn't have minded) then the tone shifted. I enjoyed it a lot. Kong's fights were great and the other creature designs were awesome. Characters were decent enough without being too obnoxious as well.

I want to see it again.

Opinions on this?
Saw them on my Facebook feed and looks cool.

>"Godzilla: Total Destruction" fan film
didn't Godzilla Heritage or whatever get shut down for being a fan film using "godzilla" in its title?
I also only saw the video title up to "fan" so I was kinda disappointed it was a fan film and not a fan game styled similar to Hulk Ultimate Destruction

>>15657771
Who is this?

>>15689732
Yuriko Hishimi. The "hard bitch" from Vs Gigan and Ultra Seven.

>>15689663
It got shut down because it had multiple Kickstarters to fund and it had high production values. Toho is letting them finish it, under the condition that it remove Godzilla from the title and stay under 40 minutes. Also, only letting the people who funded on Kickstarter get access to it.

>>15645395
Shin.
Because the final form and the movie itself is more faithful to the original while looking like an straight upgrade.
The difference is first one is based on two nukes and the second one is tohoku earthquake+tsunami+fukushima.

I like the cool-style godzilla too.

>>15689439
