Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
Big Duel in the South Seas is so much fun, I'll hope in on the fun too. Has one of my favorite Takarada and Mizuno roles, oh and Hirata having an eyepatch again is awesome.
I love how the film focuses on Mothra's people, it's the last time we see Infant Island being related to Mothra with actual inhabitants.
Ebirah is a neat villain, and I love how Godzilla pretty much wakes up from whatever the hell gave him a hangover and goes on a pissy rampage.

I think creatures like Ebirah and the giant condor are necessary. They help make the world feel more complete if you will.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
Seeing so much love for Ebirah is unexpected for me, but certainly welcome. Sure, it may not be very grand or breathtaking, but I do consider Ebirah: Horror of the Deep to be a very entertaining film. I will even go as far as to say that it is among my favorites in the Showa Era, all things considered.

Girl I`m going on a date with on Sunday says her favorite Godzilla films are both Shin Godzilla and Final Wars. I suppose if you told some people that on this forum their heads would EXPLODE.

Careful bro....I wouldn't trust a girl that likes those two movies. Take a wooden sword with you and let people know where your at, at all times.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
GFW and Shin represent completely different reasons for why people like the franchise done at the most extreme. GFW is an over the top dumb (but fun) action movie, while Shin is a social commentary. I actually sort of agree with you in I like GFW, but there’s plenty of people on this forum who really like one and don’t like the other. I’m curious to see if she’s seen KOTM, curious what her opinion is.GuardianGhido wrote:But...both of those are in my top 10. (Shin is way higher but still) Am I "Special"?

If she likes FW, she's sure to love KOTM. The Kaiju action in KOTM is some of the best I've seen.LSD Jellyfish wrote:GFW and Shin represent completely different reasons for why people like the franchise done at the most extreme.

Godzilla vs the Sea Monster was my first G film so it's still my favorite movie I like the vhs dub better than the more recent dub

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
Seeing the trend of Godzilla vs The Sea Monster going from being viewed on this site as one of the worst, to one of the sleeper hits on this site is always strange to me. I remember back in around 2010 where everyone thought this film was one of the worst, or maybe that’s just my perception. I think it’s one of the most fun at least, and despite Godzilla being too OP in the film, it’s a blast.Godzilla2000Zero wrote:Godzilla vs the Sea Monster was my first G film so it's still my favorite movie I like the vhs dub better than the more recent dub

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
Well, well. Maybe those who dislike KOTM will see it in a positive light too someday? Because I think this is a film that really delivers if you don't focus on the downsides and just give it a chance.LSD Jellyfish wrote:Seeing the trend of Godzilla vs The Sea Monster going from being viewed on this site as one of the worst, to one of the sleeper hits on this site is always strange to me.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
Eh I really am curious what she has to say about KOTM, but I sort of don’t know. One big thing I’ve realized about the Japanese fandom is that for the most part, there isn’t one. Everyone likes or appreciates Godzilla, but it isn’t the type of thing you obsessesively visit Toho Kingdom over. Godzilla fans here probably see a few other films, but not much else.
Another thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of people here tend to have seen Shin, and love Shin, but know little to nothing about the series beyond that. Now, living here, it makes sense how Shin is now what Toho considered the image of the franchise.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
There's a combination. Has she actually seen many of the other movies? Maybe these are the only two she has much familiarity with. That, or she just likes extremes...LSD Jellyfish wrote:Girl I`m going on a date with on Sunday says her favorite Godzilla films are both Shin Godzilla and Final Wars.

My personal hope is that GvK might make people appreciate KOTM more in many ways each Monsterverse film really enhanced the other for me at least anywayGuardianGhido wrote:Well, well.

Yeah weirdly KOTM makes me look at G2014 less harshly.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
Kaiju Fan Confessions thread, let's do this.
I actually absolutely hate the monsterverse, I think they've produced easily among the worst Godzilla films ever seen, on par with the heisei series post 89. Godzilla 2014 stands out as one of the most boring Godzilla films ever made, the characters are some of the worst, even Bryan Cranston who everybody seemed to be obsessed with just because it was a well known actor. The plot it terrible as well, it's like they took the most boring kaiju movie plot ever and screw the cinematography, characters, and action to the point where you get a movie so bad it makes All Monsters Attack look like Citizen Kane.
KotM was better, but only barely. Again, the characters were atrocious, not as bland this time around but god awfully atrocious. Let's not forget the maximum cringe this entire movie had, I wanted to puke at the bowing monsters scene. Also this movie suffered pretty bad from issues most big-budget movies suffer from today. Firstly it felt the need to be funny as does every movie ever so they make a bunch of terrible nudge nudge wink wink jokes they hope millennials will laugh at. Number two the movie is so damn self-congradulatory. Godzilla Final Wars was an epic movie, it did epic things and was of epic proportions, this movie just says that it is. All they do in the movie is talk about how incredible and great and unstoppable Godzilla is like a 14 year old writing a bad fan fiction. The cringe of the whole "alpha" thing applies here as well, they just present a power tripping fantasy some isolated middle schooler would get off to. The Serizawa line "we would be his" is cringe overload.
So those are my monsterverse confessions, I don't really see anyone disagreeing with this, I just think I'm the first to point it out. So yeah, enjoy, might do more, this is fun

Welp, guess I can't argue with that. Now are you going to explain why you feel that way or are you just going to try to spite someone who thinks differently than you? You have no points to make, you're just mad about what I said so you're just saying "I'M ANGRY". It's about time someone taught you to change your ways._JNavs_ wrote: Wow, every single word of what you just said, is wrong.

Seems like you're just going thread to thread making vast radicalized opinions just to counter the norm and catch a reaction.
