Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
Moguera is very capable of distance combat, but close up fighting didn't seem to be taken into account when designing it. Those arms aren't exactly useful for grabbing or clubbing. The drill nose gives it at least one weapon in close range fighting.
The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

Also the fact it's a maser cannon so it's powerful but frail. Spacegodzilla jammed his tail into it later on when he saw it's chest open up.Komenja wrote:What are the deets on that?Living Corpse wrote:Electrically charged hull.
I do appreciate a good ol "eat my chest laser" but it's risky with the start up; someone smart'll side-hop when they see those arms go to the side, and then you're vulnerable on the end lag and free game for punishing if they were right next to you. It's safer to throw that out from like mid-range, not up-close.SoggyNoodles2016 wrote:BIG OL PLASMA CANNON

I honestly had no issue with Godzilla laying the smackdown to King Ghidorah when underwater in Kotm.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
The Toho LoVision transfer of Rodan is one of the worst Toho ever did. Looks like a string-out of the original negative or an intermediate, without any timing... lighting and color balance changes from shot to shot. It is so flat and murky that it actually gives me eye strain. Everyones' faces are buried in the low mids for no reason. The color blue basically doesn't exist. But they removed the wires holding up Rodan! Priorities! The transfer Criterion/Janus has to use is probably pre-wire removal, though. Can't let North America have even marginally, debatably improved versions of their awful transfers.
To Toho, Tokyo Laboratory, whichever idiots decided that these movies need to look awful indefinitely... what are timing decisions based on? Because you're obviously not looking at skin tones, or even the shooting environment. How hard is it to expose and balance a shot of some people outside in the bright sun realistically, or at least so that I won't have eye strain? This is colorist 101, you dinguses. Embarrassing. Cheapens the hell out of these movies. We should all thank God Toho doesn't own Gate of Hell.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
Although I oppose to the idea of an team-up in Godzilla vs. Kong the only way I wouldn't mind is if it was akin to how Godzilla did with King Caesar in 1974's Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla.

Just have Mechagodzilla interrupt their fight and seeing he's the bigger threat decides to dispose of him first. After defeating Mechagodzilla they can resume back to their fight.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
That's not what happened in Mechagodzilla and also a stupid thing in general. So, they literally take a break for a random Mechagodzilla fight and then go back like nothing happened?

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
Although I don't care for the KiryuGoji design in the two 'Godzilla x Mechagodzilla' films, I love Matt Frank's take on it for 'Rulers Of Earth' enough to make it my second favorite Godzilla incarnation. My first is GhidoGoji from 'Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah'.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
I honestly thought it through. The more I think about it the more I don't have a problem with an team-up occurring especially given previous incarnations of Godzilla teamed up before and Legendary is one of the more heroic versions.
That said whatever happens in the film. My body is ready for November!

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
Good to hear! I suspect a team-up is pretty much inevitable (I admit it's not what I'm hoping for, either), so we might as well make the best of it when it comes along!GodzillaFan1990's wrote:I honestly thought it through.

Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
Personally, I'd prefer a fight to determine who's the real king of Skull Island, but I could handle a team up if it's done right.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
Some of the Titans were heading there, so Skull Island may have gained Godzilla's attention. Godzilla may not care about a small piece of land in the middle of the ocean, but he would care it Kong challenged him. And I'm sure Kong would challenge any monster he deemed a threat to his kingdom.

Re: Kaiju Fan Confessions
I think I'm falling out of love with the franchise. I love the character still, but I cannot get myself to enjoy anything Godzilla related right now. Maybe it's a weird phase I'm having. I tried everything, movies, games, comics, even fan fiction. It's not like I dislike any of it, it's just a cold indifference.
A rematch that is nearly 60 years in the making and is happening and I have zero excitement for it.

Feel like things like this are natural.
