Probably because they're cranking the heat and trying to "think warm" is how I always took it.
You're referring to MMA/kickboxing legends Ray Sefo and Gary Goodridge. They were living the life, relaxing listening to some good tunes (Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla), all forms of technological entertainment, and a REAL espresso machine. Sadly, it was short lived.

Part of the fight between Final Goji and Monster X resembles the fight between Don fry and the monster Takada:

Oh yeah...those two innocent men who were blasted into pieces by Godzilla once he was let out of his frozen hell.

;)
"Uh Oh" In a nonchalant delivery. The other barely emotes at all to his imminent demise.

Hilarious.

You know what I was just thinking of in regards to this film?

A GFW Megalon to team up with the GFW Gigan.

That would've been real cool.

Yeah...

I would have had a more animated reaction than that.

Its not the same thing dingus.

One is accepting his fate.
The other is caught off guard but barely emotes emotions...some might say bad acting.

You've captured my reaction to 90% of this forum lately.
Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

I believe I said the other day that this entire forum has become one large cringe thread.

Well, you read that wrong. The 'stupid' eye roll emoticon was at a prior comment.

The Youtube video was a similar example of a 'non-much-animated reaction' at an impending end.

I'm in somewhat of an agreement with your statement. And I barely post.

They really try too hard to push the “coolness” factor in this movie and it just does not work…
Yeah, Godzilla wins... sometimes. I mean, he was killed by Dr. Serizawa's patented bubble-bath formula, heartburn, missiles, and poor box office returns, got his ass kicked by a drunken, circus-escaped gorilla, then he was beaten by two newborn worms, yeah some “king”.

I'm just curious, are you going into every Final Wars thread to trash it? Nothing wrong with that, I'm honestly just curious.

Why do I get the feeling someone could have strolled in here singing endless praise in every FW related thread here and you would have never opened your mouth?

Besides, what I said could hardly be considered “trashing” I assure you.

Is it any different than going to every GFW thread there is to praise it? I’ve seen many a member do that and no one bats an eye…

Who do I get the feeling someone could have sung endless praise in every FW related thread and you would have never opened your mouth?
Chill the fuck out, man.

I have called out people for going into every single open thread for a movie at a given moment to blow a movie up.

Remember the part when I said "Nothing wrong with that, I'm honestly just curious"? Because I really don't give a fuck. I'm just curious if that was your intention.

Was it a earnest question or are you calling me out because your post makes it uncertain. You evidently care enough to ask.
Stop taking this so personal, someones allowed to give their opinion, whether negative or positive.

I've always thought they were pushing the "campiness" & it worked if you liked camp.

It really didn’t though and I’d know, my favorite films are the more campy Showa ones like Astro Monster, Sea Monster, Gigan and Megalon, it’s all about execution and Final Wars did an ass job at conveying anything.
