The writing is the worst part of this movie. It definitely seems to stick out more with time, I agree. When I initially watched it, I was surprised to see how juvenile the jokes were. It felt like some high school students wrote it.KaijuKingGojira wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 5:01 amIt really felt like what it was “everyone loves this line from the first movie, let’s can quote it,” but it’s stupid... when the skreeonk else would Serizawa have said it that his team knew of his using that line often?

Re: Godzilla: King of the Monsters - General Discussion
I'd change my username if I had the chance. It's a typo. It's supposed to be "66," and it's a very unfortunate thing to have on my account. Please help.

Who knows maybe Serisawa said that about EVERYTHING.
"Uh sir, looks like Dr. Chen and Dr. Stanton are arguing about Dr. Brooks' Hallow Earth theory again! It's getting pretty heated."
"Let them fight." *sips coffee*

Re: Godzilla: King of the Monsters - General Discussion
going back to KOTM in a post GvK world i think only highlights KOTM's weaknesses even more for me. Everything KOTM does well, GVK does better and everything GVK does bad, KOTM does even worse (for the most part). I will say KOTM probably has the best music of just about any of the films post Heisei. Don't get me wrong, GVK's writing, dialogue and characters are bad but because we spend so much more time with KOTM's cast(or at least it feels that way) the warts are so much more apparent. I think KOTM may be the most ambitious film of the MV bunch but it just tries to do so much that most things come out half baked. I still enjoy it but it is far and away the weakest of the Monsterverse films.

No MV film has come close in terms of grandioseness for me.

Can't help but love this movie. Flaws and all. Every time I watch, I get the biggest grin on my face. Even the human characters, which aren't the strongest, have a charm to them. I adore this film.

Yeah while KOTM may be the lowest on my Monsterverse scale I still like watching it. That ending still gives me chills. All four MV movies I would have loved as a kid.

Re: Godzilla: King of the Monsters - General Discussion
Exactly. That’s practically breaking the 4th wall and looking right into the camera and telling the audience you’re gonna let em fight. A movie should never be that self aware unless it’s supposed to be a parody or something like Deadpool.KaijuKingGojira wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 5:01 amIt really felt like what it was “everyone loves this line from the first movie, let’s can quote it,” but it’s stupid... when the skreeonk else would Serizawa have said it that his team knew of his using that line often?

Re: Godzilla: King of the Monsters - General Discussion
Obviously no one is going to like every Godzilla movie, and everyone is entitled to their opinion. I really don't like Final Wars, even though most people seem to. But there's a difference between not liking a movie and actively hating it with such rage. I don't see how anyone could even consider themselves a Godzilla fan if they absolutely loathe KotM with such venom. Sure it was flawed, but it was such a lovingly crafted homage to the classic films, clearly filled with Dougherty's reverence for the monsters. It treated them with a level of awe that GvsK does not.Jermobooka wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 2:09 pm

I don’t actually hate or despise KOTM lol. It’s a 6/10 for me, but that final battle was incredibly disappointing and i like exaggerating lolRelair wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 6:34 pm Obviously no one is going to like every Godzilla movie, and everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Well that's good, the way you talked about it in various threads was like it ran over your dog and robbed you of every cent you have and you hated it with every fiber of your being!

Re: Godzilla: King of the Monsters - General Discussion
I think a bid problem is looking at it retrospectively after GvK, you begging to realise that they CAN do a fight scene that is clearly visible, unobscured and with terrific choreography as well as having the human cutaway/s done right. When team Kong come out of HE, it’s still involved in the fight and doesn’t detract. With Godzilla fighting Ghidorah and Mothra fight Rodan... well Godzilla fighting Kong shouldn’t be so far above that, it should have been a damn masterpiece of Kaiju fighting.

Re: Godzilla: King of the Monsters - General Discussion
GvK has given me a new appreciation for the MV as a whole. This film is leagues better now that KOTM has happened. Just makes all the moments actually feel like they mean something in the grander scheme of things.
What's weird is why it hasn't regenerated if it's still alive? Biding time perhaps? Maybe Ghidorah is also intelligent and planned this? Who knows.

Ghidorah isn't done. And I think he will continue to have a presence over the MV. Ghidorah being the boss battle in two films in a row is hilarious.
I'm just imagining Ghidorah's life. Comes to earth, fucks shit up. Gets sent into the ice by Godzilla and friends. Wakes up, minutes later, Godzilla. Almost takes over the world. Fights Godzilla again. Dies in a fire explosion. 5 years later, awakens in a giant machine body, seconds later, Godzilla.
The titans have some level of sentience, but general hatred doesn't happen much in film that includes creatures. The titans are sentient enough that Ghidorah having an almost human like hate for Godzilla is something they can run with.
I hope the monsterverse continues. I hope we get a full on Mechaghidorah. Then, I hope we get a fully revived Ghidorah again for a Destroy all monsters deal. Then, a kaiser Ghidorah down the line.
I just want to see as much of him as possible, and making him the biggest threat and a reoccurring villain would be so dun

I like calling that third head Kevin but I don't them to call him that in the movie. As I told a friend after seeing it "Godzilla vs. Kong: Kevin Is Pissed Now!"
Also apparently the novelization of GvK mentions that Apex created the Oxygen Destroyer which lines up with what Simmons says about 'first seeing Godzilla ten years ago' and basically wanting to knock him down a peg.

You're right, actually. Even a quick superimposed animation of the wings flapping or something would've worked.TriassicTerror wrote: ↑Fri Mar 19, 2021 9:32 pm Does anyone else feel like the Mothra wings in Burning Godzilla's pulses look really hokey? I don't think having them visible in the blast is a bad idea but the way it's edited in looks really weird to me. It's like a flat PNG being dragged across the shot.

I don't how it looks in the movie...but if there's ever a final MV Godzilla movie I'd like to see Fire Godzilla again but this time the wings are always on him like say this.
