GMK Guardian Monsters Discussion Thread

[Inferno Rodan]

Excuse me, but what?

It took the Ghidorah Spirit Bomb + Godzilla's Atomic Breath to penetrate SokogekiGoji's skin. The blast created from the GSP + Goji's Breath leveled an entire section of dock in a massive explosion, and it only barely opened GMK Goji's skin. The drill worked from the inside, so it was able to do more damage to the unprotected flesh.

The heads of the D-03s still penetrated his skin when they initially impacted. They just couldn't drill through it, probably because they're designed to go through hard rock instead of tough flesh.

This film couldve very well been just right with Godzilla and Baragon alone. Since Godzilla was the focus of the film, I just dont get why TOHO thought it was wise to use 2 other big name kaiju only to give them a back seat. They shouldve focussed on Godzilla and how the Japanese people deal with it directly. Not to say Mothra's performance was lacking because this was my favorite performance of her. But Ghidorah? WTF? You dont do that Toho.

More big names = more marquee value = more money

But money isn't important. Toho is all about the quality.

My sarcasm sense are tingling.

GxM Godzilla is the most durable. Tanking black holes says enough. Even if he didnt actually tank them, he still withstod the destructive effects of the Dimension Tide.

[RedZillaKing]

Sorry I didn't mean durable in that way. I was referring to his hide's durability. Which is impressive... even among Godzillas.

GMK had good reviews by critics outside Japan, so it does have an appealing quality. It's a good film.

[Gyaos]

Did it get good reception in Japan too?

[edgaguirus]

I'll need to look that up.

[Goji]

Did it get good reception in Japan too?

Yes, it did. From what I understand, it did better the weeks following the opening thanks to positive word of mouth.

[Killswitch]

IMO, GMK was pointing the franchise in the right direction. Would of loved to have seen another film or two from that team of people.

[edgaguirus]

Agreed. Too bad we didn't.

Having Baragon alone might have carried the film, but KG alone would have garunteed it.

[Viva la revolucion!]

The guardian monsters are a bit weak, I wish they had made them powerful like in the HEisie series so it was an epic battle of awesomeness.

[Rody]

Making them really strong would have made no point.

...And for the record, I prefer the GMK battles over many of the Heisei beam-bump tussles.

I like that Godzilla, most incarnations have some battle experience but this one had never fought another monster before and after getting his ass kicked for a while he started to catch on and show some impressive intellect and skills like faking out Megs by pretending to not know she's behind him before using his tail to grab her and throw her or another fake out where he charges at her before ducking at the last second and using his skies to cut one her claws off.

It's about time we got a Godzilla that uses his spines for cutting and a tail that grabs instead of just clubbing. I also love that unlike most Godzilla's who win by pulling some new power out of his ass or some deus ex machaina like Fire Rodan he won by just pure dumb luck. He was stunned and Megs had him dead to rights but when aiming for his head her aim was off and allowed Godzilla to bite her stinger.

He basically kicked ass despite and having no experience with fighting which made him pretty badass but at the same could still be beaten so he wasn't some god sue character in that film, it made it exciting and a nice change of pace.

[space godzilla]

I think Baragon looked great I loved his look when he saw Godzilla standing over him.Mothra looks pretty good her design has grown on me.King Ghidorah looks fine except in the mouth.

[zilla103192]

I kinda wish the film ended with a huge all out battle between Godzilla and the 3 Guardian Monsters.

would of made for an awesome climax IMO

[edgaguirus]

That would have been a fight to see.

Someone has to write a letter to IDW, to turn the original script into a mini-series.
