Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
I will not have you telling me how I should or shouldn’t discipline my son, Goji! He’s muh boy and I’ll wash whatever I want with soap till he learns to clean up his act!
This is a family forum and I won’t have him insinuating BaragonBrehs up inside anyone!

This may sound crazy but, her not having a crap load of energy beams/abilities is one of the major reasons why I've come to enjoy her so much. Sure she may not be as durable as Orga or Hedorah, but her speed, aggressiveness, and tenacity made up for it. She was a threat to Godzilla without having an insane healing factor or energy shield. She just used good ole fashioned physicality to put Godzilla on the ropes.Godzillian wrote:Same, she's just seems very boring.

Are there more prominent and flashy monster villains? Of course, but I think Megaguirus is a great example of the enemy monster not needing to be Godzilla's equal in every way, shape or form.

Beams suck, we need more physical bois.
also, her movie is meh bordering on disappointing but Megaguirus is a queen and I want so much more of her.

The design is unique as well as her......I wouldn't mind seeing her against Mothra or even Rodan.SoggyNoodles2016 wrote:Beams suck, we need more physical bois.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
Got some real good ones for you guys...
Gamera 96' is my absolute least favorite design for the series, something about its face and eyes look so off imo. I greatly prefer his 95' suit and his movie over the other two.
I think Destroy All Monsters is a far better send off than Godzilla vs. Destroyah.
I prefer G14's stump feet over the 2019's and wish they were never changed.
Kiryu's pretty lame imo and doesn't do anything for me.
Heisei Rodan has to be the most poorly realized kaiju from that era.
Minya over Little Godzilla anyday.
G84 is my favorite design from that era.
I genuinely like Kong's suit from 62'.
I prefer Orga over all the new Millennium monsters.

I tend to agree with most. Kong '62 suit is great, Minya forever, Orga IS better than the millennium era cast, Heisei Rodan kinda sucks ........But Gamera Guardian of the Universe is probably the best movie from the franchise..... funny enough my favorites are in the order they were released GGOTU, Legion, then Gamera 3.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
Honestly, the 1995 Gamera is my least favorite design for the character. The 1996 version’s body proportions, head and eyes are a huge improvement for me, the 1995 version just looks dumb in comparison. Plus the 1996 version just looks (a tad slightly) meaner and more aggressive.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
Pretty much agree with all of this except for '96 Gamera. I really think '95 looks a bit too cartoony, and '96 is the definitive look between '99s edginess and '95s campiness. But, the rest I'm with you.Stump Feet wrote:Got some real good ones for you guys...

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
OK I'm gonna come clean on this one. I did make a snide comment about you most likely not watching KOTM simply because of the director, but the part in brackets was not really me trying to compare you to Hateboner himself, but solely sniping at him for his "Catchy names" and changed "HB" to "they" to fit the reference better.Stump Feet wrote: The MonsterVerse Beyond thread, only instead of using his actual username, he used the initials "HB" which stands for his "clever" little nickname he uses for him, Hatergonbreh or whatever it is exactly.
Funny enough though, I went back to the thread to see if I may have misunderstood him but he edited his post twice and removed it, good thing I'm pretty certain mods are able to see exactly what a post said previously no matter how many times it's been edited so I hope he doesn't try to lie about it
There, that should clear this up enough for us to move on and not bog down this thread any longer.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
Count me in the camp that favors the '95 Gamera over the '96 one. '95 is so expressive, and there's a real sense of warmth about him. He's a monster I look at an genuinely like, and in those final moments of the movie, you get a real sense that he's as conscious of his connection to Asagi as she is.

That's exactly why I prefer this Gamera over the rest, there's so much personality that comes across in his eyes and I know exactly what scene you're referring to, the look he gives right before that final roar in the oil refinery, yes?eabaker wrote:Count me in the camp that favors the '95 Gamera over the '96 one.

God, that scene's absolutely iconic for me, so much is said there in his eyes at the end, warmth is a very good term for it.
The other two suits just don't come anywhere close to having the amount of personality that 95' had.

The Japanese version of Godzilla Raids Again is one of the best Kaiju films, and the sped up fight scenes are fun to watch.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
I like the more somber tone in the Japanese version. As for the film itself, I find the monster battles fun to watch, Anguirus is introduced, and I am in suspense throughout.
