Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
Same. I’ve been keeping up with SP and some of the spoilers, and so far the characters are really varied, colorful, and interesting. Excited to actually see it all when it heads over to the states in June!Dracosaurian wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 1:52 pm I think Singular Point's characters just might become some of my all time favorites. There's just something about them that I like.

Yes.
How the hell they like the characters without knowing a lick of Japanese is beyond me? The animated acting must be perfection.

Nah I am awaiting the official release in the US Netflix. But if it doesn't come to June I may kill myself first.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
I honestly love how so far the main SP characters are just ordinary schmucks trying to make sense of the events and kaiju appearances. I really missed those type of mundane Human protagonists in the franchise.

Right cause the number of Showa scientists should just be ignored now. Or the government agents, yeah real regular joes them.

Eh, there were plenty of movies centered on ordinary schmucks. KKvG, EHOTD, GRA, GvG, GvMG, and GR, for example.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
Have the Monsterverse films really revolved around military man protagonists?
2014 had Brody yes, but Skull Island had Mason who was a photo-journalist and Conrad had become a Hunter-tracker for the most part with his military background being the source of his skills. GVK had almost no direct military characters other than a presence. KOTM is the only one other than 2014 that went super hard on it. But for Skull island and GVK I'd say they don't really differ much from a late Heisei or Millenium era film even some Showa films

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
Skull Island had Packard as a main character, too, don't forget. But yes, the idea of military characters dominating the Monsterverse is a strange exaggeration.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
Packard if anything was the antagonist of Skull Island not one of the leads we follow.

Leads doesn't just mean the protagonists. Antagonists drive the story as much as the protagonists, if not more so.
