Hear, all ye good people, hear what this eloquent speaker has to say.szmigiel wrote:I think some fans worry too much about continuity and canon in the film series. To start, this is a film series where the title character was definitely killed in the 1st movie. Events from pervious movies were hardly ever mentioned, or just in quick mention in passing. Then there is watching Destroy All Monsters as the last Showa movie, because it took place in 1999. It's like watching Stanley Kubrick films in order, but you have to watch "2001: A Space Odyssey" last because it takes place in 2001 not 1968. DAM is the end of the Golden Age, a last extravaganza before the more limited Championship Festival films. Ideas, and stock footage, from DAM are used in the Champion Festival films, and to move it to the end is silly. If you want to watch the last Showa film, watch Return of Godzilla.
Then there is the creation of vast interconnected timelines trying to place all the films in some short of order, even though events in the movie don't really work that way. People are always trying to include Gorath where the Earth is moved from it's orbit, costal cities flooded, and the moon is destroyed.
Yeah, I've never understood why people try to fit all of Toho's tokusatsu films into one coherent timeline when there are so many contradictions. The increased obsession with close continuity in media franchises is what led to... well, the Heisei series.szmigiel wrote:I think some fans worry too much about continuity and canon in the film series.
Actually Gorath is one of my favorite sci-fi flims of the Golden Showa Era, and I like the American edit where Maguma is cut out.tyrantgoji wrote:I feel like the only way to make Gorath even remotely work in a kaiju themed timeline is just do what the Kiryu Saga did: cut out Gorath itself and then just leave in Maguma. He's the thing most people remember about that movie anyway.
I understand that Maguma is pretty uneeded, but i really can't see Gorath fitting in the Godzilla universe besides him.szmigiel wrote:Actually Gorath is one of my favorite sci-fi flims of the Golden Showa Era, and I like the American edit where Maguma is cut out.tyrantgoji wrote:I feel like the only way to make Gorath even remotely work in a kaiju themed timeline is just do what the Kiryu Saga did: cut out Gorath itself and then just leave in Maguma.

It doesn't need to fit into a Godzilla universe, it can be enjoyed just as a Honda Sci-fi film from the Golden Era.tyrantgoji wrote:I understand that Maguma is pretty uneeded, but i really can't see Gorath fitting in the Godzilla universe besides him.
I'm not saying that it needs to fit. I'm just saying that if Toho tries to make it fit into the timeline later on that's the only way it can.szmigiel wrote:[

That is a timeline of what Kaiju he choose to put in the Kiryu films, It shows the films they 1st appeared in and when it came out.tyrantgoji wrote:
An official timeline of the Kiryu Saga events. So yes, Toho does make timelines.
This statement reminds me of the KOTM credits where they credit the main 4 titans as themselves.szmigiel wrote:That is a timeline of what Kaiju he choose to put in the Kiryu films, It shows the films they 1st appeared in and when it came out.tyrantgoji wrote:

It list the release date of 1962, Gorath doesn't take place in 1962 it takes place in 1979.
Toho has always treated the Kaiju more as actors then as some sort of shared universe.
I took szmigiel's comments to mean the fanmade timelines that try to shoehorn every possible Toho movie into a singular universe.tyrantgoji wrote:An official timeline of the Kiryu Saga events. So yes, Toho does make timelines.
Unpopular Opinon: Those kinda get annoying when they're ALWAYS concruent. Like, do we really need each film to happen in it's exact release year? Especially when they don't line up (I remember the example of someone putting The Last War in a Showa timeline in 1961 then has the rest happen. You know the film that features a goverment unlike anything hinted in the Showaverse and ends with mankind wiped out in a nuclear war?)Terasawa wrote:I took szmigiel's comments to mean the fanmade timelines that try to shoehorn every possible Toho movie into a singular universe.tyrantgoji wrote:An official timeline of the Kiryu Saga events.

What movie is ROM? I've learned that Battle For Earth was an alternate title for Godzilla vs Mothra, but I don't know which one ROM is.
That would be Rebirth of Mothra. EDIT: Ninja'd.Kaiju-Killer 751 wrote: What movie is ROM? I've learned that Battle For Earth was an alternate title for Godzilla vs Mothra, but I don't know which one ROM is.
