Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
The only one of his scrapped appearances I honestly wish would've been made was Mothra vs. Bagan. He's nothing like Destoroyah in that movie, he's more of a pro wrestler who actually grapples Mothra multiple times in headlocks, slam dunks her from the skies at one point, and stabs her multiple times with his head horn. That would've been super brutal and fun. His original transforming Resurrection of Godzilla counterpart's cool too, but he felt oddly unnecessary in that pitch.godjacob wrote:I am honestly not that upset Bagan never got a movie. I feel his character works far better in expanded media and fan stuff than it ever would have in a live action film.
Besides, I feel Destoroyah's basically Bagan but better in pretty much every area.
Considering most of the other post-1990 movies he could've appeared in would've likely been directed by Takao Okawara (in other words, they would've been slogs and sucked ass), I think it was for the best he was a no-show. Sometimes I think of the prospect of him appearing in the MonsterVerse, what with monster cells being a thing in Godzilla vs. Kong, and get a little excited for like... 3 seconds. Then I realize he'd probably be given the personality of Doomsday from BvS and have a completely uninspired design. It's fine. Perhaps games and books are for the best for now.

Wow. I thought the MvB incarnation was good, already.

Guess that's what happens when you shove a monster from a totally different film into another one that's nothing alike.GigaBowserG wrote:His original transforming Resurrection of Godzilla counterpart's cool too, but he felt oddly unnecessary in that pitch.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
I mean to be fair, there are times in Kaiju history where a character felt uneeded to the plot but was added in anyway. Godzilla vs. Mothra in the Heisei film didn't need to have Godzilla in it and he acted as a third wheel to the Mothra/Batra conflict. But yeah, maybe I should give wrestler Bagan a second look cause I can respect that style XDGigaBowserG wrote:The only one of his scrapped appearances I honestly wish would've been made was Mothra vs. Bagan.

All the anime otakus suddenly talking about the japan sinks anime adaptation but would never think twice about seeking out or discussing the original adaptation makes me laugh.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
Honestly, I'd recommend tokusatsu to anime fans because the mediums are really similar. Of course, there are the ones that should be kept far away but the people who haven't crossed that threshold should really try it.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
I tried tons of anime, honestly there's tons in common, but the differences are pretty prominent. Personally i think i'll stick with Toku, since i haven't grown fond of most anime recently.Cryptid_Liker wrote:Honestly, I'd recommend tokusatsu to anime fans because the mediums are really similar.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
I don't know if this is unpopular or not, but Mothra's MonsterVerse design is growing on me as my new favourite Mothra design, even beating out the beautiful SOS Mothra.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
Toku is too flavor of the week and kiddy for me personally, most anime are like intense graphic novels so they get my vote.

I just like MonsterVerse Mothra's move-set which really separates it from other versions and we finally get a Mothra who keeps the silk as an adult!VoyagerGoji wrote:I don't know if this is unpopular or not, but Mothra's MonsterVerse design is growing on me as my new favourite Mothra design, even beating out the beautiful SOS Mothra.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
Ah okay. I was thinking that Mebius strikes a nice balance with the tokkatsu Ultraman genre and anime. There's little arcs with different monsters, like Dinozaur, Bogar and it culminates with an arc of Mebius fighting the four big servants of Alien Empera and then a long drawn out battle with Empera._JNavs_ wrote:Meant more along the lines of the Sentai stuff, but while i've not seen Leo or Nexus, i have seen Mebius.Gigantis wrote:Or Nexus?LSD Jellyfish wrote: Have you seen Ultraman Leo or Ultraman Mebius?
Leo has a lot of violence which is what I meant about it being appealing if that's what you're looking for.
