Boy, that would really make Godzilla seem like a badass, beating two infant moths to death.


Just like it made him seem "badass" when he was defeated by two infant moths. So much better...

I understand the irony in it but it is also kind of pathetic.


No, the badass part was taking the insane pounding that the military gave him. All the larva did was subdue him, and drop him in the ocean. It's not like Godzilla was beaten senseless in a freaking fist fight with the larvae, he was temporarily tangled up. I don't see any effect on the "badass-o-meter".

Shit, if you threw a net over Audie Murphy and he fell over, would that make him less of a badass?

The title of this thread is "If you could change ANY ONE thing about the Godzilla films" so you know...I just thought I could say what I wanted to be changed? I though it was appropriate.

It was never a big deal to me. People just kept on me about it so I made it sound like a bigger deal to me than it actually is because I had to explain myself. But yeah what you say makes sense.

This is exactly right. It wasn't a traditional fight. I saw it as more like Godzilla was leaving anyway, and they basically wrapped him up and showed him the door. Clearly not a "defeat" as in they did actual damage to him, more like an embarrassment for him. The military used what they had against him and it didn't stop him, but the larvae had a very unique way to subdue him, that didn't involve an actual weapon. It's clever really, and a really good movie

Thank you. That's exactly my view on it. It doesn't diminish Godzilla's badassery in the slightest.

...Except that you never said that you wanted to change anything about Mothra vs. Godzilla. This was your first post about that subject:

Nothing in that post says that you wanted it to be changed. Irys X is the one who wanted that scene changed.

...So you faked your argument then. Great. :roll:

I would have all kaiju wear Hawaiian shorts, so their naughty parts don't show.

Ya know that's something that has bothered me for years. Not only is Godzilla destroying Japanese cities, he's also scarring Japanese children for life. I'd suggest an oversized trench coat, but m**********'s TALL.

I didn't "fake" my own argument what I meant was that I didn't hate it as much as one might think if they read my posts. I was forced to explain and go into it more than I really wanted to.

Well in that case, I'm still not trying to convince him of anything. I'm saying his argument about changing Mothra vs. Godzilla's ending doesn't make any sense and that it would ruin the film.

I didn't "fake" my own argument what I meant was that I didn't hate it as much as one might think if they read my posts.


In other words, you were saying things that you didn't necessarily believe in as if you did believe in them. That's called faking an argument.

I was forced to explain and go into it more than I really wanted to.


No one was forcing anything on you.

No that is not correct. I believed in everything I said and I still stand by what I have said the thing is that I made a bigger deal about it than I initially wanted to because of people trying to convince me otherwise like you.

Punctuation is your friend.

At this point, you've already made an ass out of yourself. It's time to back down, and just let it die.

...:dizzy:

If you believe in everything that you've said, then you also believed in the "bigger deal" that you speak of. That "bigger deal" was going to come out sooner or later. Meaning you did "hate it as much as one might think".

It doesn't matter if there were people trying to convince you otherwise, because no one was forcing you to participate in this topic. You chose of your own free will to participate in this topic, and you chose to say what you wanted to say. Meaning if you type that you think Mothra vs. Godzilla's ending is "generic" and that Godzilla should have won, then according to your logic, that's what you believe. Everything you've said is what you believe in, including the "bigger deal". We didn't force that out of you.

So no, you didn't fake an argument, but you didn't "make a bigger deal about it than you initially wanted to" either.

I tried letting it die a few posts ago but I admit I probably could have ended it earlier.

Ass? I was simply debating what I thought how is that being an ass? Look in the mirror cause didn't both you and Gotengo get warnings recently? :)

But anyways this has gone on long enough. I've said what I wanted to say no point in keeping it going, unless Gotengo eggs it on again. This has gone far enough so I suggest all three of us just drop it.

Making an ass out of yourself is different than "being an ass". You've demonstrated that you clearly don't know the difference between the two.

Look in the mirror cause didn't both you and Gotengo get warnings recently? :)


...Lol. No, I haven't gotten any warnings recently.

But anyways this has gone on long enough. I've said what I wanted to say no point in keeping it going, unless Gotengo eggs it on again. This has gone far enough so I suggest all three of us just drop it.


Sounds like a brilliant idea. You barely make any sense, so really, it's for the best.

Not everyone seemed to disagree with me so I made sense to some. As long as I make sense to myself and what I have to say I am good. Like I said I'd like to be done with this discussion mainly because we have gotten way off topic and these poor insults on each other are both immature and unnecessary. So let us both (and Gotengo) be done with this.
