Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
Gotta love how no one has respect for the way these monsters are brought to life, only for how they look or what they are.

Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
Well, it means "humongous spider." What exactly does "Scylla" mean? And how is it pronounced? Is that a silent "c"?LSD Jellyfish wrote:yeah but Kumonga just means spider, doesn’t have a cool kick ass name like SCYLLAOrichalcum wrote:Gotta love how no one has respect for the way these monsters are brought to life, only for how they look or what they are.
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.

Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
In all seriousness, I think one thing I really dislike about the modern sling of Monsterverse creatures is actually their names. Like the majority of them have names from either the Bible or Greek mythology, stereotypically “epic names”. It’s like,”we need to give them epic names to be cool”.
One thing I really liked, was actually the MUTOs name. It stood for something, but also worked as stand alone original creature name,

I don't really like the way it's pronounced. No actual, objective criticism of it, I just don't like the way it sounds.LSD Jellyfish wrote:One thing I really liked, was actually the MUTOs name. It stood for something, but also worked as stand alone original creature name,

Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
Everytime I read/hear "Scylla" the first monster that pops into my head is the one from Project Maigo
Man, same. Ditto for the whole "Titans" moniker. Just call them kaiju or monsters, it's what they are.LSD Jellyfish wrote:In all seriousness, I think one thing I really dislike about the modern sling of Monsterverse creatures is actually their names.

I wish they had called it the Kaijuverse instead of Monsterverse, yes it's clunky but it's more specific, Monsterverse could just mean monsters in general like Dracula, not giant ones specific.Man, same. Ditto for the whole "Titans" moniker. Just call them kaiju or monsters, it's what they are.

Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
I pronounce Scylla like "Sky-la". Is that wrong?

It's still inaccurate whether you do it too. Mike pronounced it *Silla* in the commentary.

Scylla is named after the monster from Homer's Odyssey. Come the fuck on, guys.
