My initial purposal wasn't that we couldn't get solo Gamwra film, my thing was Gamera would not reach a height on his own as he would being in a film with Godzilla and Kong.Vakanai wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 6:15 pmDefinitely arguable - as nice as GMK is I'd put the 84 film way above it. I'd also put vs Destroyah and the Against Mechagodzilla/Tokyo SOS on GMK's level. Also while not my favorite personally a lot of people would rank Biollante pretty high up there. GMK is more of the top tier of the middle class Godzilla movies.miguelnuva wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 3:30 pmThe 3 best Godzilla films argubly are Gojira, Shin Godzilla and GMK. Had Godzilla only had those 3 films that would be 3 super strong entries.Vakanai wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 3:03 am
And we should care about that why? I'd rather have a really good Gamera movie than some "meh" version appearing in a not so hot crossover. Who cares if everyone remembers it? All Gamera needs it good films that make enough money to make more good films. That's it really. What does needing "something to hold on to" even mean? That the end is inevitable save through the miracle of a crossover?
I like the MV and Gigan and all those other films as well - but what I'm saying is we don't have to go that route to get Gamera content - it's not MV crossover or bust, it's not settling for something, they could just make a really great, really stand out Gamera solo feature first whether in the MV or not. Why is a solo film so darned impossible or not preferable right now? Gamera has done well enough to be profitable, even if only ever modestly, by himself before - so why not again? I'd rather have a great film of moderate success, than a moderate film of great success. Why can't we just take a mildly profitable but satisfying film again? Why does it need to be an "event"?As the same time I would hate not having the MV and even the weaker films like Gigan or the bigger ones like Mothra vs Godzilla and the two Ghidorah films in the 60's.
Gamera is a big enough character that yeah I want him to have that event film even if it's not as good as something like the Heisei trilogy.
Gamera crossing with Godzilla and Kong wouldn't be a movie that just sucked anyway so I'd take a spectacle event film for Gamera this time.
Introducing him in a Godzilla film just gives more confidence in him getting Solo American films because I wouldn't want people to not see the first Gamera mv film and then miss out on the rest of Gamera's potential.
