JD Lees definitely has a history of being a belligerent moron.

Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
Yeah. He only canceled the last two G-Fests because in the end it was out of his control. At no point did he seem to understand how serious it was (especially last year) and how terrible being belligerent about it made him look.Major sssspielberg! wrote: ↑Sat May 22, 2021 4:36 amI do know he was saying Covid was going to be a lil hiccup and the flu was more dangerous.
Also, there was that super cringey defense of the blackface natives in KKvsG in an issue of the magazine last year.

That's like the duck test: if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, flies like a duck and swims like a duck, then it's probably a duck.edgaguirus wrote: ↑Tue May 18, 2021 10:17 pm Agreed. I don't mind redesigning a character, but how you portray that character is important. You could call Godzilla giant reptile born from radiation, but that description also applies to The Beast and The Giant Behemoth. How Godzilla acts and is portrayed is what makes Godzilla Godzilla.

Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
Don't worry it's just the cringe I'm after, put it in the bag and I don't bring up vore.
Edit: Oh jeez, nevermind. I found some screengrabs. It's literally the equivalent of a ScreenRant or CBR clickbait. I'm sure JD was just trying to fill page space, or maybe genuinely raise a question about blackface in the Godzilla series, but the article doesn't actually say much of anything. It just exposes him as being sort of ignorant on the subject.

Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
I don't know; when J.D. answered the last letter I sent him, he seemed like a nice guy to me.
I even suggested a few article ideas, one on the Bloodthirsty Trilogy, one on the Shintoho Super Giant/Starman film series, and one on the English-language titles used in Japan for kaiju films.
Specifically, these films. Is it:
*Varan or Varan the Unbelievable?
*Dogora or Dogora the Space Monster?
*Gamera or Gamera the Giant Monster?
*Frankenstein vs. Baragon or Frankenstein Conquers the World?
*Gappa or Gappa the Triphibian Monster?
*Space Amoeba or Yog...Monster from Space?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
I don't think JD is a bad guy, just maybe bit off a little more than he could chew trying to fill pages. G-fan was with me for a lot of my childhood. As for the titles, isn't there a separate topic for those? The Toho pictures at least have "official" international titles which I think would take precedent.mikelcho wrote: ↑Sun May 23, 2021 5:57 pm I don't know; when J.D. answered the last letter I sent him, he seemed like a nice guy to me.

I know, I should've said I was digressing. These films are merely the ones I don't know what the official English-language titles used in Japan are.Major sssspielberg! wrote: ↑Sun May 23, 2021 6:32 pmI don't think JD is a bad guy, just maybe bit off a little more than he could chew trying to fill pages.

Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
Nine times out of ten (at least), the titles used on the most recent American video releases will be the preferred/official titles. But, to more precisely answer your question:
Varan; Dogora (original English title was, apparently, "Space Monster Dogora"); Gamera; Frankenstein vs. Baragon; Gappa, the Triphibian Monster (the original title was simply "Gappa"); Space Amoeba.

Member when JD lees wrote that letter ranting about Gareth Edwards and saying he wasn’t a “true Godzilla fan”.
He does more for the franchise than your obsolete magazine lmao

Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
Dude, J.D is bad but can I just say in general the old dudes who bitch about how the new films are "wrong" in some way are the worst?
Like, I think we can agree people who decry Shin as nationalist propaganda and those guys who claim Americans can't GET Godzilla to dismiss the Monsterverse both suck equally

Shin? Nationalist propaganda? That movie literally mocked the Japanese government. It's as far away from propaganda as you can get. Those people must be out of their minds.
