Can we get a based in chat?Fish Cakes wrote:Big confession: I haven't seen any Godzilla movies in full besides KotM and Shin in over 4 years and have no interest in watching or rewatching them. I just think Godzilla is neat and was more into the Atari games and Kaiju designs than anything.
I only hate on Heisei because it upsets some people I dislike, I actually really love Biollante, SpaceGodzilla, and Destroyah's designs. I don't even really remember the Heisei movies tbh, I just parrot what a friend says.
I've been meaning to respond to this, but there's nothing wrong with this, because you don't bombard or insert yourself into conversations and act like you're an expert.Fish Cakes wrote:Big confession: I haven't seen any Godzilla movies in full besides KotM and Shin in over 4 years and have no interest in watching or rewatching them.

The real horror is that minya got 2 more movies afterwardsDracosaurian wrote:I've never found Kumonga to be creepy in any way. I watched Son of Godzilla when I was a child and he/she got no fearful reaction out of me. Honestly I've seen creepier/better spider monsters when I think about...

What really annoys me though, is as someone who has seen each film at least 20 times, when people who have maybe seen a dub or something maybe ten plus years ago, argue and argue with you, or base their opinion on something parroting some reviewer, or based on their perception of something from ten years ago. Like my perception of the franchise is super different from three years ago.
This. Especially when it comes to Kevin memes. I didn't like it before but it got Worse when applied it to other Ghidorah incarnations.Dracosaurian wrote:I find it somewhat annoying that some people get overly-attached to a certain film/film series's lore and assume it applies to the entire franchise.
I honestly wasn't thinking about the Kevin head thing when I said that. To me it's a sorta dumb but harmless thing. I was thinking more about certain monsters/character's origins and whatnot.tyrantgoji wrote:This. Especially when it comes to Kevin memes.

I agree. The same can be said for “I find minya annoying”. How many people actually believe that or are just parroting what internet reviewers say.SoggyNoodles2016 wrote:The real horror is its 2019 and people still think "Minya sucks" jokes are funnyrealinvaderdesign wrote:The real horror is that minya got 2 more movies afterwardsDracosaurian wrote:I've never found Kumonga to be creepy in any way.

I do. I genuinely believe that. But only in Destroy All Monsters. He doesn't deserve the final blow on Ghidorah.LSD Jellyfish wrote:I agree. The same can be said for “I find minya annoying”.

Exactly.edgaguirus wrote:I liked that final blow. Ghidorah was already beaten to an inch of his life, and Minya, who has little in offensive abilities, gets to participate in his small way. Minya did more that Manda, Baragon, or Varan.
And that's my issue. Those other monsters should've gotten to participate instead of him. I don't jump onto any of the kaiju bandwagons. I genuinely just don't like Minya as much as say Little Godzilla. I thought he was cute in Son of Godzilla, but anything after that I dislike with him.edgaguirus wrote:I liked that final blow.

Considering most people haven't seen every Godzilla film, let alone older English versions, I wouldn't worry too much. That VHS cover is awesome btw.realinvaderdesign wrote:I never saw godzilla1985 until a few years ago, my exposure to the movie as a kid was the hong kong dub on vhs, because of that I never had a problem with the kraken bluray of the movie as I didnt have any nostalgia for 85
Btw for those curious it was this tape
