Don't get me wrong it has it's problems, but the leak has me excited, especially to see
Spoiler:
the 30 minute scene where BaragonBreh walks on screen and rants about how this movie will be a box office failure because of #sloppydougherty

How? :lol: Blue Öyster Cult is classic, Don’t fear the reaper rocks my socks lol
Yeah, Godzilla wins... sometimes. I mean, he was killed by Dr. Serizawa's patented bubble-bath formula, heartburn, missiles, and poor box office returns, got his ass kicked by a drunken, circus-escaped gorilla, then he was beaten by two newborn worms, yeah some “king”.

Don't get me wrong, they're a great band. I just don't like their Godzilla song. The only part of it I like is when he says "History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man".

I'm just a tad bit tired of Godzilla getting compared to superheroes. No I'm not just talking about cinematic universes, what I'm also talking about is like those straw grasping analogies with power ups and whatnot.
The Godzilla franchise is just a different beast. there's my pun for the day
"Bang on, mate.", - Murdoc Niccals 2018.

I honestly really like Godzilla vs. Gigan, and it’s one of the film’s I love to revisit anytime I rewatch a Godzilla movie.

It honestly is a great movie imo but the stock footage, lower budget, and rotting suits hold it back a bit.
why did i have to be the chosen one?

It's one of my favorites. I mean, my "favorites," in the broad sense, constitute nearly half the series, so I don't know how much that's saying. :D

It's a rare case where I'm actually more invested in the human story than the monster action (and that's in spite of my undying love for Angilas!). It also has a lot of nostalgia value for me, as it's one as I (as "Godzilla on Monster Island") at a very young age.
Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

My sentiments exactly, it doesn’t exactly say much me calling it one of my favorites since I whole heartedly love every entry in the Showa era, Godzilla vs. Gigan is always one of the ones that seem to stand out the most anytime I’m in the mood for a Godzilla flick.

Say what you will about the stock-footage and suit wear and tear, they’ve never really bothered me or took me out of enjoying the movie, the human characters keep me invested too much. As Eabaker stated, the human narrative is just as engaging as the monster scenes so the film just overall becomes solid viewing for me.

We needed a spin-off of these characters, didn’t even have to be a kaiju movie, I’d just love to see these five together again :lol:

Yes! Movies about a manga artist whose alien invasion "comics" are really true stories of his own experiences!

That would make for a good movie.
I've got a good mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it.

Then expect something that's fiercer, more cruel, and deadly than anything that's walked the Earth.
