Those crazy evolutions sound like Nobuhiko Obayashi/A Space Godzilla next level insanity.

I agree with that last statement, and for reference I'm all for the idea of changing Godzilla, within certain limits. Also the instant you move beyond the fifth form, you run into a serious problem of completely removing any of the relevance from the first film.HeiseiGodzilla117 wrote:All that stuff lines up with the content Anno usually produces, so I wouldn't be shocked if there is truth to it. But it's just more stuff to make me not enjoy this take on Godzilla. If Shin breaks into a bit bunch of shinlets or turns into an amorphous space blob, it's really not Godzilla anymore.
Agreed, though I wouldn't mind if Shin sort of appeared in later films.Godzillian wrote:Would anyone else rather Shin Godzilla appear only once? I feel like a sequel would ruin the film a bit, it works best as a stand alone
I'm 100% in agreement. To me, Shin represents possibly the most successful realization of what the Millennium series was aiming for: a bold, distinctive take on the concept of Godzilla by a filmmaker unrestrained by either having to follow past continuity or worry about paving the way for future installments.Godzillian wrote:Would anyone else rather Shin Godzilla appear only once?

Yes, definitely. It was more about a statement than creating a viable ongoing world, to me- a very self-contained piece that would not spin off well into the usual sort of vs. Series, or even another man vs. nature story.eabaker wrote:I'm 100% in agreement.

Definitely, Shin Godzilla is awesome but he works better as a one off. I can see him reappearing in like a nightmare sequence in some other series.Godzillian wrote:Would anyone else rather Shin Godzilla appear only once? I feel like a sequel would ruin the film a bit, it works best as a stand alone

Gib money.
That doesn't seem like it would really contribute anything to what Shin was going for thematically. If anything, it would undermine it.KingZillla wrote:I think a sequel can work, provided Anno comes back & it expands on the ideas from the first movie. What if other monsters started appearing?

Idk, what I got from the ending with the Tail-humanoids is that Japan & then Humanity would have been wiped out if they couldn't stop Godzilla. He kept evolving throughout the movie. I think the humanoid creatures symbolize Mankind's time coming to an end because what if the Freeze on him is only delaying the inevitable?eabaker wrote:That doesn't seem like it would really contribute anything to what Shin was going for thematically.

If any one outcome is inevitable, then the entire point about national self-determination becomes meaningless, though.KingZillla wrote:Idk, what I got from the ending with the Tail-humanoids is that Japan & then Humanity would have been wiped out if they couldn't stop Godzilla.
