why do you say that?
Assuming you're right (I trust you), that's a bit strange of a choice. That would be the only thing in the trailer that was not shown. And why not at that point, use a nice bit of trickery, to just insert into the show? I don't think fans would be that bothered if Godzilla has two atomic beams or breath types. Very confused about that.
helicopter scene wasn't shown yet either IIRCLSD Jellyfish wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 12:14 amAssuming you're right (I trust you), that's a bit strange of a choice.

Anyways, tonight is the finale. I'm worried. I think SP overall is great, as in it's a great entry into the franchise, but there's either so much missed potential or possibly under developed things that I'm a bit concerned.
That's why I'm hoping there's a season 2. It just seems like there is way more to explore. I just can't see how this in a satisfactory way in one episode. Guess, I'll find out when I wake up.LSD Jellyfish wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 12:14 amAssuming you're right (I trust you), that's a bit strange of a choice.

Its interesting how they wouldn't use the atomic breath from the show, and create something new. Either way its kind of cool how we have probably only seen one shot of Godzilla Ultima from the finale, that being him and the helicopter.Vandarker wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 5:00 am
Says it's a special VFX cut made for the trailer only.
I'm not so sure. Tokyo's covered entirely in red dust and that shot looks awfully clear. Plus, Ultima looks about the same height he was before. I think it might be a trailer-only, too.phillipw1954 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 5:04 amIts interesting how they wouldn't use the atomic breath from the show, and create something new.

I agree with this, but hopefully we'll be wrong. We'll know very shortly and I'm hoping I'm wrong.Voddak wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 4:21 am I hope monsters like Salunga can come back in other series maybe with a more distinct design from Gabara and with a proper arc. I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade but I feel as if a lot of the monsters in this show don't really feel like characters and more like devices. I get what they were going for with the Mandas and Rodans and stuff but to me the impact of their backstory is kind of cheapened when they all do onscreen is just kinda die. Just some untapped potential is all lol.
Yeah the whole episodic thing is really cool for discussion. I know it's a little early to say this but I wouldn't mind another show featuring a smaller and less ridiculously OP godzilla who actually goes around and grapples with the military physically. Kinda like an episodic 1954 retelling. But until then let's see what SP has to offer for its big conclusion.LSD Jellyfish wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 6:43 amI agree with this, but hopefully we'll be wrong.

Anyways 26 mins until the finale. I hope it's good. Depending on what is resolved and isn't my entire perception of the series might change. Also, note at that time, I'll change the thread title to Godzilla Singular Point General Discussion (SPOILERS).
Honestly, even if the finale is bad or good, I'm gonna miss this. I'm going to miss the weekly speculations, feedback and conversations I've been reading on here, reddit and some YouTube videos (the monstrosities guy). For me, it's been a special journey. I've been waiting until 12 am each day when I should be getting to sleep. We've never had other events or conversations like this, weekly ones. The Godzilla franchise has always been about discussing something that is a bit relegated to the past, or discussing the build up to something for months, only to be instantly proven wrong or right about something. This felt like an ongoing discussion, and I loved every moment of it.
I hope episode 13 delivers a satisfying conclusion. Not everything needs to be answered, but it needs to feel more like there's a clear inspiration and plan behind it. If there's a season 2, or set up for a second season, I hope this resolves enough to feeling like a satisfying conclusion. That's all I want from episode 13: a satisfying conclusion to what we've seen so far.
Oh yeah definitely. It's been a fun ride for the last 13 weeks.LSD Jellyfish wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 6:43 am Honestly, even if the finale is bad or good, I'm gonna miss this.

Same. That's why it's such a shame TV seems to be going more and more towards just releasing in all-in-one batches. Episodic releases really encourage this kind of quality community engagement and group speculation that I've enjoyed so much here. It's been a wild ride, lads, and I'm glad I got to share it with y'all.vastatosaurus wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 6:49 amOh yeah definitely.

I couldn't agree more. Honestly having a Godzilla series that's current is such a sweet thing to have. Like, just being able to discuss each episode with people and theorize has been such a treat. I think SP's characteristic of making it so people don't know where its going next has really helped in that case.GojiSquid wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 6:59 amSame.
