Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
Although I guess objectively Godzilla's Revenge is the worst Toho Godzilla film (of course G98 takes that spot) I quite enjoy it- its still a fun film in my opinion.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
I don't think that it is objectively the worst. Again, at a basic level of narrative and visual sophistication, it totally pummels Megalon, which is just an exceptionally sloppy movie.MechaGoji Bro7503 wrote:Although I guess objectively Godzilla's Revenge is the worst Toho Godzilla film (of course G98 takes that spot) I quite enjoy it- its still a fun film in my opinion.

I'm not saying I HATE Gorosaurus. Granted, I still don't care for him, but I'm not saying he's the worst kaiju ever. (that'd arguably be Kamacurus, Zilla or Minya imo.) I find him to be very uninteresting and overrated. If everyone else thinks he's cool the fine. As I said, to each their own.

I hate the 'kamata-kun' and 'whatever-the-fuck-kun' names too.
I just call them Sheldon(form1), Dave(2), Scott(3), and Shin because I'm a cunt.

I tend to use the nicknames simply because its rather well known now also that people still somehow confuse form 2 for form 1 - somehow. I also drop the "-kun", because reasons.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
I don't like shin godzilla. The characters are blend. the sound effects are taking from mid 20th century. I despise kamata kun. I hate the fact that the roar is a recycled sound just to pay homeage to the showa films, it doesn't match. And the last but not least shin godzilla itself moves so stiff just to make look like a guy in a rubber suit.
"Japan's filmmakers are really starting to perform a dick-waving contest as to who can make the weirdest and most untraditional Godzilla. First Anno turns him into the beef-jerky version of Hedorah and now Gen Urobuchi turns the character into his own incesteous lovechild with Biollante. I bet that next, we will have Godzilla get tuned into some sort of rogue A.I." - LegendZilla

Well, to be fair, we only ever see form 1's tail, and it's almost identical to form 2's.SpaceG92 wrote:I tend to use the nicknames simply because its rather well known now also that people still somehow confuse form 2 for form 1 - somehow.
But, then again, Rando literally says that "Godzilla's evolved into it's fourth form" when it resurfaces in Sagami Bay.

I like Slow Godzilla, especially big bulky and thicc. IMO, adds to the idea of the monster sort of being a living mountain and force of nature, without the edgy IM DA KINN. Shin Godzilla executed it perfectly.
