On topic: on a re-watching of Shin I suddenly noticed how much the "engrish" bugs me.

The TriStar heisei dubs make me cringe. There’s like five actors who do all the voices. It’s like playing a Bethesda game, except less charming.

Every time Gojipedia (the old location of Wikizilla, back when it used to be on Wikia) claims it's better than Wikizilla, but immediately shoots itself in the foot and makes a decision so stupid it suffers a spontaneous 'aneurysm'.
Some might say that life is a great challenge, and something insurmountably difficult. I say to that, "Bring it on."

The way certain fans treat Godzilla's Revenge. I'm sick of seeing adult fans shit all over it. It's a kids movie for God's sake. You're not the demographic. Stop acting like it's a bad film because of that.

Just because a film is made with children in mind, doesn't mean it's free from criticism.Dr. Professor wrote:The way certain fans treat Godzilla's Revenge.

If anything, given the impressionable nature of children, it's doubly important to look into children's films and the messages they may tell.

Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
And what if we saw it as children and noticed it's flaws even then? Because I'm one of those people. I saw it as a child, was bored of the reused footage, thought talking Minilla was awkward and weird, and felt like the whole movie was cringey and bad.Dr. Professor wrote:The way certain fans treat Godzilla's Revenge.

When I got older, I rewatched it and actually could appreciate a little more what they were trying to do within the confines of the times and budget, but it's still an odd misstep in the franchise. I still consider it the worst in the series.

Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
If you were in Japan at the time and were a kid I feel like you would be praising the movie for having a certain charm to it even though you can still see why people would hate it. It really just comes down to where how and when you grew up to like certain movies. It's like how people are now with the Showa films. I don't know, I mean I don't really care for that film and can see why it gets so much hate, but I can also see why others would like it. I'm neutral hereMaritonic wrote:And what if we saw it as children and noticed it's flaws even then? Because I'm one of those people.

Some people like Coke, some like Pepsi. Some people like Metal, some like Rap. I adore the Showa films, but Godzilla's Revenge was a problem with me as a kid because it was obviously recycled footage with a talking Minilla. It felt awkward to me. Granted, I don't tell people they're wrong or stupid for liking it, but I definitely don't understand it personally. But I'll never criticize someone (publicly... ) for their opinion on it, because it's all just personal preferences and tastes.
Plus nostalgia plays such a huge factor; Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah is Top 5 Favorites for me because I have such a HUGE nostalgic love for it and major personal attachment for multiple reasons that span beyond just the film. But I acknowledge it's flaws and realize other's don't feel the same way.

Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
It's completely ok to dislike the film. I'm not saying you have to like it or that you can't have an opinion on it. That's not what I was getting at. I just feel like so many fans feel the need to hate it because you can't really take it seriously. Maybe it's the teenage fans more than the adult fans. I remember a few years ago I had the mindset that movies like Godzilla's Revenge and Godzilla vs. Megalon were garbage movies because they weren't serious films, and hating Minya because he's goofy and was made to appeal towards children. I think a lot of Godzilla fans (and I'm not saying all of us) go through a point where they're embarrassed of the more lighthearted films, so they distance themselves from them by constantly hating them, like I once did. Unless I'm the only one who went through that and maybe I'm just mad at myself. I don't know.
Or it could be I'm just annoyed with people shitting on kids' stuff in general and I decided to go off about it here. Like I know this guy who just constantly rags on kids' shows for no reason. Like can't kids have things too? But Idk, I'm sorry for coming off the wrong way, even though I probably still am.

Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
Oh, no, I get what you're saying. Yeah I think it's the teenage fans, or the fans that only got into Godzilla because of the Legendary film (sorry to be that way...). There's like that gap between kid and "adult" that gets that way.Dr. Professor wrote:It's completely ok to dislike the film.

My problems with both Megalon and Revenge aren't the seriousness, it's the quality of the film. Megalon actually has some hilarious drunk-watching value because of it's lack of seriousness. But I see what you're going for now, 100%.

Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
The Rebirth of Mothra movies were made for children, yet just about everybody and their grandmothers agree they are garbage, with very few defending them. I don't disagree that Revenge/AMA is often shat on unjustly, but it being exempt from criticism simply because it was made for a certain demographic isn't really valid.Dr. Professor wrote:The way certain fans treat Godzilla's Revenge.

Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
I've seen people argue on whats the worst fanbase. We might not be the worst fanbase, Sonic or Undertale or FANAF might have worse fans in general, but as far as a specific individual fans go, we had Kim Jong Ill as a huge Godzilla fan to the point he had a filmmaker kidnapped to make a monster movie for him.
Let me repeat we had a dictator as a fan, a guy with the power to order people killed and it will be done if he so chose.

...so? Hitler apparently treated his dogs well; does that automatically make the dog fandom inferior to the cat fandom? And I realize you're probably not being entirely serious, there, but still...
