Godzilla: King of the Monsters - General Discussion

[GuardianGhido]

I liked that Trespasser and the Mind Flayer were in the crowd of bowing monsters. "Friends don't fight" was all right, too, as the obligatory MBB Stranger Things reference.

Huh? I get that the MUTO or Scylla would be the Mindflayer, but who's Tresspasser? Methuselah?

I don't think he's supposed to 'replace' anybody, but is just there as a reference/because HISHE already had his animation model left from their Pacific Rim video, so using him was cheaper than making a Behemoth or Methuselah model for a two-second scene.

Did anyone else the funny tweet from Doughtery regarding the Monsters speaking? Rodan especially haha

I think Mike and I might be kindred spirits because I always kind of heard the monsters cursing at each other whenever I watched these movies, lol.

Monsters saying the F word is probably the worst thing ever, sorry. I think that tweet is pretty much the zenith of everything wrong with KOTM.

Preemptively, I know that some people will point out the “Godzilla what terrible language” from GTTHM, but that was dub only.

I agree 100%, that was stupid, immature and childish. A disgrace to the monsters to even think of making them talk like that. This makes stuff like HEY ANGILAS seem verbose.

What the heck lmao?

It's not like he's literally saying Ah fuck me, they're just cue cards so that the CG actors know what they're working with. They did it with Kong:SI and G14, they're doing it with GvK. He's just a director funning around with B.T.S. content lol, not the worst thing in the world.

I love the fact that they're incorporating visual expressions into the Titans now. Makes for more embraceful, personal situations.

^Personally disagree on this. I don't know why but thinking of the.monsters saying things like that are...kinda off putting for some reason.

I mean they're not literally saying it, like i said it's for the CG actors to know exactly what expression to shoot for

[GuardianGhido]

What the skreeonk lmao?

But seriously, to take the expressiveness and the well established personalities conveyed through their body language and them just dumb it all down to "skreeonk U" when fighting each other just ruins the character for me. Is this really what Dougherty believes to go through the minds of ancient, sapient and intelligent superspecies that have lived for milennia and are facing each other in mortal combat? Does he think they' a couple of 12 year old kids playing Call of Duty? It's a skreeonking insult to the characters IMO to associate them with this kind of immature banter outside of parodies. I wish Dougherty just made his awesome movie and skreoonked off instead of ruining the movie with these bullpoop Word of God tweets!

Yeah, it’s pretty childish. Swearing isn’t that funny.

Still doesn't really change my opinion that it's still off putting.

Gotcha gotcha, so what would you do instead?

that's true, maybe keep those kinds of lines behind the scenes lol.

"You've gotta be skreeonking kidding me."

Remember that time in Godzilla Final Wars, where someone wanted to say Fuck, and even then, the director of Final wars, had some restraint, and said no.

I think at this point it’s also a cultural thing that’s a bit difficult to explain, but the Japanese language, really doesn’t have a lot of expletives or things equivalent to fuck. There’s a lot of nasty insults, and derogatory words, but one thing I’ve noticed is that Japanese media tends to not be as pointlessly vulgar as American media, unless it somehow directly pertains to characterization.

[Terasawa]

^That's also why the out of place f-word in Sony's GMK subs is so stupid. "Shit," maybe, but the way they subtitled it made it seem like an extreme overreaction.

Exactly. Let the movie speak for itself man, you're already done with it, don't try to force some extra things in there Rowling style. Let us enjoy the movie for what it is instead of spouting unnecessary garbage that the movie never gave any indication of, especially when it makes it worse!
