Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
Why was Dougherty fascinated with mythological beings from the west in particular?

It is weird there aren't any Eastern mythological names for "Titans" now that Goji_and_Watch mentions it.

Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
What do you mean exactly? Are you asking why there's no Eastern inspired monsters in GKOTM?

Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
I mean depending on how you define “Eastern” there’s a number that could qualify
Orochi’s the one that I think would be universally considered as Eastern

Yeah that's why I was asking what she meant because Titanus Orochi is in Mt. Fuji.G2000 wrote:I mean depending on how you define “Eastern” there’s a number that could qualify

I wasn't sure if she meant why are there no Eastern Titans or if she was asking if there was an Eastern term for "Titan".

Re: The Godzilla Cringe Thread
Honestly, I agree that the westernized name for the Kaiju from KOTM feel jarring.
Like, Behemoth has a cool design and stuff, but it has such a generic name that it doesn't stand out. There are at least a million other Behemoths in other franchises and media I like
That's something I've always liked about Godzilla in reference to other giant monster things. The Kaiju have their own proper name that belongs to them, and to them alone.
Shinomura was a cool name, shame it was relegated to a D-list Kaiju that we will never see again

All houses have the same. Roof. Floor. Walls. People yelling at you that they're calling the police because you broke into their house. It's only when you give them love that they truly become Home
