Re: Godzilla King of the Monsters General Discussion [SPOILERS]
I saw an AMA from reddit of a guy who claimed to be at the test screening. He showed two images of a theater screen showing a scene of a city being destroyed. Looked like something out of Transformers, so I just brushed it off.

I figured. Thank GOD! If Godzilla vs. Kong came out looking like either of those two films, I'd be VERY concerned.G2000 wrote:Old and confirmed fake (from Battleship, but Transformers is close enough)KingKaiju wrote:I saw an AMA from reddit of a guy who claimed to be at the test screening.

Re: Godzilla King of the Monsters General Discussion [SPOILERS]
Really enjoyed this film alot personally. Just about everything I could have wanted from a classic Showa era style of Godzilla films particularly Monster Zero and Destroy All Monsters. I get that its not particularly clever or intelligent but thats why I love Shin and the Anime Trilogy so much because they form a perfect counter balance to the more action focused MonsterVerse films.

Invisible Man trailer has been rated. GvK shouldn't be too far behind.

Re: Godzilla King of the Monsters General Discussion [SPOILERS]
I'm completely ambivalent towards the film myself. It just didn't really engage me but then I'm pretty jaded towards Hollywood blockbusters and multi million dollar CGI these days.

The guy who portrayed Godzilla’s common-cap was really cool. He was at GFes and was really nice.

TJ Storm? Yeah he's a real cool guy and mocap actor. He really seems to enjoy being Godzilla too from what I've heard. The Ghidorah actors (Jason Liles, Alam Maxson and Richard Dorton) really enjoyed the King Ghidorah experience too. (The idea of tying 3 mocap actors together to play him was genius IMO)LSD Jellyfish wrote:The guy who portrayed Godzilla’s common-cap was really cool. He was at GFes and was really nice.

In the brief interview he did, he said his firm Godzilla film was Godzilla vs. Hedorah. I might have a clip of that.GuardianGhido wrote:TJ Storm? Yeah he's a real cool guy and mocap actor.

Despite some of my reservations of KOTM as a film, I had a big realization that a lot of fun and joy went into making the film, and over the weekend I realized that all the Godzilla films had that sense of fun going into it. The GMK guys were joking around a lot.

Re: Godzilla King of the Monsters General Discussion [SPOILERS]
One thing I really wish was more focused on, was the whole dynamic of shooting off the Oxygen Destroyer. The OD should’ve been established early and debated over several times. The film should have shown the DC officials making the decision to launch it. Then, we could’ve gotten a scene where Stenz and his fleet attempt to protect DC from Ghidorah, but fail because Godzilla isn’t there to save him. Stenz and DC reap what they sow, and Stenz dies with humility knowing this. That would’ve been way more interesting than what we actually got.

The polar opposite of KOTM.
At least that's the hope I'm having. The Monsterverse NEEDS a giant hit this time around and having a late trailer isn't going to help in that.
And I think they know this, hence they are going to try to market and release the movie in the most successful manner as possible.
Now, I've loved Godzilla since I was a kid. But the fact is, KOTM, Godzilla, Godzilla vs Kong are barely B list movies today. No amount of marketing is going to make it a bit. It will underperform, it will do bad, and it will get poor reviews because people don't care for Godzilla. If the Avengers are LeBron James, Godzilla is Jimmy Butler.
Nothing Legendary does will change the fact that 9/10 people aren't interested in Godzilla. So let's stop holding out hope for the Monsterverse to pump out a hit. It's not happening. Let's just support the movie for what it is, a modern day cgi Godzilla camp...which is what we all want anyway. I'll be happy with it. I also don't care that the movie will not be technically great or beloved.

Re: Godzilla King of the Monsters General Discussion [SPOILERS]
That and the fact that people nowadays will just seem to blindly love anything with "Marvel Studios" stamped on the official poster. Endgame was "sorta good" at best, had a slew of problems, is undeniably the most overrated movie I've ever witnessed. Like come on, it was middle-tier as an MCU movie AT BEST.Jaqua92 wrote:The Monsterverse is NEVER going to get a giant hit.kaijuguy19 wrote:I'm thinking of that as well.

But yeah Godzilla will just never be like that. And the fact that LP/WB are withholding the GvK trailer trying to pull an Endgame with the secrecy is just dumb. If KOTM made a billion, perhaps I could see this working for them

Except...there's literally no confirmation of that being the reason at all. That's just something you pulled out of nowhere, I haven't even HEARD of anyone even suggesting that.Godzillasaurus wrote: And the fact that LP/WB are withholding the GvK trailer trying to pull an Endgame with the secrecy is just dumb.
If anything, the withheld marketing is more likely a response to the fact that KOTM's marketing took place over almost a year. First hint was a trailer at SDCC 2018 and they stretched it all the way until May to the point that most people forgot about it on release day.

At this point, I think we should all settle down and wait till the trailer comes out. it won't be that long, and you all need to have some patience, K? Besides, I initially thought the GvK trailer would release in September.
Heiki, hecchara!

Patience isn't one of this forums virtue.
