Re: GODZILLA VS HEDORAH 2021 SHORT FILM
If I were to be honest, this short felt like a 2020’s version of Toho’s Go Greenman and Go Godman! shorts. It’s mainly due to the shoddy production values.

Amazing how a short film barely over five minutes long mogs the entirety of the Monsterverse.

In all seriousness I agree just because it's like... true tokusatsu on a microbudget. It was a rush to see miniatures and the FW suits back in action. Not to dog the Monsterverse but I'll take the old magic any day.

I think the middle suit is the one used in the short.Arbok wrote: ↑Fri Nov 05, 2021 8:26 pmFor Godzilla: Final Wars they created three Godzilla suits. The suits were dubbed as "super action suit", "impact action suit" and the "main suit". Very possible one of the action suits never had the mechanical aspects built-in but was designed to be more durable, to prevent damage to the main suit. If that's true, very possible one of those suits was the one used for this short.LSD Jellyfish wrote: ↑Fri Nov 05, 2021 10:01 am I imagine they remove the mouth mechanics (and other complicated parts) after the movies come out to preserve the suits and make them easier to display.

Something's wrong, Anguirus shouldn't attack his friend Godzilla!Shenanigans wrote: ↑Sun Oct 24, 2021 7:01 pm I was recently reminded that is not *technically* the first suitmation Godzilla battle since 2004; the CR pachinko games have filmed new footage using movie suits before, supposedly as recently as 2018 (though I haven't seen any new footage from that one). Here's a fun one from 2010 (which, despite using two Final Wars suits, does not use the FinalGoji suit):
I wonder if the new short will have beam effects like this. It'd be neat to see 2004 Hedorah using eye beams.

This was a nice little video. Short, sweet tokusatsu that tugs at your nostalgia strings whether you're a Showa boomer or a Millennium... boomer? Wow those movies got old fast.

A very enjoyable short, nice throwback to classic suit action. Was a lot of fun.

Re: GODZILLA VS HEDORAH 2021 SHORT FILM
Man, I just love seeing FinalGoji in action again. So many badass shots with it in this short.
Glad FinalGoji is actually a popular and loved enough design to be getting this much attention again despite all the “Ratzilla”-naysayers on TK

Are we allowed to both genuinely like the finalgoji suit AND think it has a rat face? Because I totally do.

Re: GODZILLA VS HEDORAH 2021 SHORT FILM
Again I don't get the rat-face association. But on the subject I always loved FinalGoji's design and think it's one of the best, so expressive and those eyes just sell the anger so well.canofhumdingers wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 9:55 am Are we allowed to both genuinely like the finalgoji suit AND think it has a rat face?

It was fun for me to watch but also reminded me how the practical effects still look horrible and how a man in a suit just does not translate well today.

Added in 3 minutes 4 seconds:
Yeah. We might love the old toku style, but that's never going up on the big screen again, outside of stuff attached to kids' shows ala Ultraman.
...I just figured out why so many people keep asking for an Ultraman styled Godzilla show, it's the only way to get suitmation Godzilla movies back. Huh.
I unapologetically, wholeheartedly, and without a doubt hate Godzilla vs Kong.

Re: GODZILLA VS HEDORAH 2021 SHORT FILM
And you're saying that after watching a 5 minute short made on a tiny budget using 15 year old costumes and paying tribute to a movie made 50 years ago. Come on now.
With time, effort and money there could still be a place for suitmation and practical effects in future Japanese Godzilla films. But Toho isn't a fan of time, effort and money so....

Some people watch G flicks for the fights, some watch em for the substance. This had no substance, but was good at bringing us back to another time with nostalgic intent.Vakanai wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 2:32 pmI wouldn't say the entirety of the Monsterverse.

I'm not really seeing the scale you guys are basing this "mogs the MV" stuff off of.
