Wasn't Gamara created by Atlanteans? Didn't people mistake him for an island at one point?

Yes

Godzilla is too overpowered while King Kong is too weak, gamera is the perfect level of power for a good monster movie

looking to get into gamera, I heard the 90s trilogy is the best of the series, are there any others besides that that I should see?

oh
i heard that gamera is really neat

>>80976170
The original is a pretty cool classic monster flick, the original sequels are autistic tho

>>80976059
How is Godzilla too overpowered? He gets his shit kicked in a plenty

>>80976200
He is filled with turtle meat.

Will we ever experience kaijukino as sublime as the Heisei trilogy ever again?

I swear /tv/ can read my mind or is stalking me. I just watched the first two 90s Gamera kinos yesterday. Better than most Godzilla movies.
The last fight with the Legion queen is my favorite kaiju battle ever

I recommended Heisei Gamera to some anon yesterday asking suggestions for giant monster films and was called autistic by some faggot who recommended The Mist as a kaiju film.
I swear the irony of the retardation in that post was off the charts. I also recommended Ultraman and other Showa era Toho classics, do peoplenot recognize Kaiju Kino when its right in front of them?

What the hell? The Mist is great but it only has five seconds of kaiju screen time and we only see the legs. It's not a main part of the movie. The smaller creatures and the Jesus lady are the bigger threats. How the fuck is it a kaijufilm? Fucking Clash of the Titans is more of a kaijufilm

I've never watched a gamera film in my life but I'm a huge godzilla fan, is there a complete and easy to browse list of gamera movies I can use to track them down?
Keep in mind that I'm not one of those fags who wants to watch something but skip 90% of it

>>80977859
Just watch the three heisei movies. The showa ones can be real difficult to watch.

There's a disc collection of the entire series at my local video store. OnlY about $10 I think. Worth?

Reading that thread in the archives, it seems like the Mist guy and the guy calling you an autist are two different people, though they both share the same sloppy and lazy writing style.

>>80977859
I wish I could be more help but I have only seen the original and the Heisei trilogy and I haven't seen the original in well over fifteen years.

>>80977989
At that price, yes. You get the 3 good films plus you can watch the shitty Showa films whenever you get curious and want to check em out for yourself.

I remember a kaiju movie about a monster (duh) where some scientists invent a light that produces incredible tingle sensation.

Any one knos what movie it was? It looked like the guy in OP but I'm not sure.

Little Braves is severely underappreciated. Get past the admittedly overly cutesy design of the titular character and you have something special on your hands. It's the perfect blend of the two eras before it.

Legion's character drama is meh.

Yongary, the 1967 one (ie not the crap-kino remake)

Reminder that the full Korean version is lost to time

>>80979819
Gamera has a plan! he's got candy in his van!

I've only seen the 60s Gamera movies and then while watching "Creature Double Feature" on rainy Saturdays in the 70s/80s.

One thing that always struck me was that the Gamera films were "bloodier" than the Godzilla or other kaiju films. Gamera and the monsters it faced would get stabbed and impaled with plenty of "blood" splashing about. I've seen a clip from a newer Gamera film in which it burns off it's own pinned hand in order to continue fighting.

Godzilla has nothing like that. Even the film where Godzilla experienced a "meltdown" wasn't as gory as the Gamera films I remember.

Supposedly Tsuburaya didn't want blood in his monster action. Which, if true, is something I always found odd due to how violent Ultraman was even before his death. Things only got more extreme once he was no longer around.

>>80980057
Reminder that the Koreans kill Yongary by throwing ammonia in his face.

>Then the camera lingers uncomfortably on Yongary as he hemorrhages from his anus into a river.

>All this not long after a whimsical scene of Yongary dancing to beach music after being shot with a tickling laser.

>>80980376
HOLY FUCK, I haven't gotten around to watching Ultraman Ace yet, I had no idea the brutality surpassed anything in Ultraseven!

>>80980376
>Which, if true, is something I always found odd due to how violent Ultraman was even before his death. Things only got more extreme once he was no longer around.

Yeah, the Ultraman stuff gets cartoonishly gory real quick. The Gamera films I saw, while showing more blood than Godzilla, never reached that level.

Still Gamera often was visibly injured and showed bleeding wounds while Godzilla basically got hit with all sorts of stuff and never seemed smudged. (I know Godzilla is supposed to be covered with scar tissue and keloids.)

I think the fact that Gamera could and did get visibly hurt gave it a certain attraction for some kaiju fans.

>>80980057
Thanks Anon!

The best was when Guiron sliced space Gyaos to pieces.

Godzilla bled a lot in vs Gigan. Got his han melted to bone in Hedorah. Got impaled through his hand and shoulders in Biollante. Stabbed in the stomach in Megaguirus. drilled by Kiryu in Tokyo SOS.

Godzilla's had his share of gore

>>80981213
>vs Gigan

Godzilla bleeds in the very first movie after Tsuburaya's death. Toho just couldn't wait, huh?

Never saw them. I was just comparing what was shown on broadcast TV in "monster movie shows" during the 70s/early 80s. All the movies were 60s stuff and Gamera was way gorier than Godzilla.

I did see a Godzilla flick at a drive-in in the 70s but I don't remember squat about it. It may have been the Smog Monster one.
