a friend of mine on Tumblr who is really good at doing Kaiju and other monster art recently started up a series of drawings with the intention of eventually drawing more or less every Toho monster(and stuff from licensed Godzilla stuff too)*, so far he's done about 50 of them(with the most recent batch being dropped only a couple hours ago) and according to him he's nowhere even remotely close to being finished; https://tyrantisterrorart.tumblr.com/tagged/TT-Draws-the-Godzilla-Gang *there is one little "cheat" with what he's doing, for certain characters with multiple versions he's only doing one version and/or folding elements from multiple versions together(for example he's only doing one of the various "Son of Godzilla" monsters with his being based primarily on the Heisei "Jr" as he's not the biggest fan of either Minya or Godzooky from my recollection)

I was looking for more footage of the movie and saw a scene from one of the older movies where the 4 Kaiju are all fighting. And it is completely bonkers. Ghodora is zapping Godzilla in the rear end with lightning, larval Mothra chomped down on one of Ghidoras tails and got whipped around, then climbed on Rodans back and was shooting silk/jizz/whatever from midair. Anyway I hope some of the battle gets faithfully repeated as a homage because it would be hilarious to see some little ankle biter chomping on this huge 3 headed dragons tail while it's busy trying to fight Godzilla.

I shouldn't have watched that...but I'm so glad I did. They really have kept the G'14 approach of scale. And King G is unapologetically sinister. I love it. The MUTOs actually had a kind of warmth to them due to their need to reproduce but not the Dragon. Man.

One thing I particularly noticed in Skull Island was that in true primate fashion, Kong uses tools. He used a chain attacked to an old propeller as a flail when fighting the Skullcrawler to good effect. In Godzilla vs Kong that kind of ingenuity could give Kong an edge since Godzilla tends to just use brute strength and his atomic breath. Using tools also helps to reinforce how huge and strong they both are, if Kong is trying to knock over Godzilla by drop kicking a building on him and whatnot.

If anything, he'll be waiting for a chance to sucker punch Godzilla as payback for doing jack poo poo while skull Island got overrun with Skullcrawlers.

If I'm remembering correctly, Femuto was crying because her babies got blown up. I'm hoping there's a scene towards the end of KotM where shellshocked survivors gather under the calming light and presence of Mothra.

Quick question about the Imax trailer. Right at the beginning, is that the Jefferson memorial on the right side of the screen with the warships on the left? Because if it is, that's not a good sign for D.C.

As for the state of DC, it's entirely due to the influence of Ghidorah, who is described as a living extinction event and generates storms of supernatural strength just by flying. Rodan is also in those scenes, and he can flatten towns by flying over. The pack line in the IMAX trailer suggests that KG is compelling kaiju worldwide to sow chaos. I'm almost expecting Godzilla vs Kong to be a post apocalyptic film now.

Is the 2014 Godzilla movie underrated? I personally found it incredible, and the parachute scene is mindblowing and probably the best scene I've seen in a budget action movie. Did people not like that the monsters were so large that humans were inconsequential?

G14 is bloody amazing but yeah, as Burkion pointed out a lot of people were upset over Cranston dying, they didn't like Taylor-Johnson, not enough action with Godzilla. I personally loved every bit of it - I loved the teases and then at the end finally getting the big giant fight. Godzilla movies with too much fighting bring things down big time for me - I personally do not like most of Final Wars. It's just too much poo poo. Like having unlimited amounts of whatever you love. poo poo gets dull.

I enjoyed Godzilla 2014, but the complaints general audiences have is that it teased way too much and the human arc wasn't compelling. I thought the latter was serviceable. The suspense the film built with the kaiju was great, but I would have loved to have seen the two fights between Goji and the flying Muto that they cut away from. If the audience had got to see them trash Oahu and downtown San Francisco in daylight, I think the too little monsters criticism would not exist. People just wanted to see these beautifully rendered monsters smashing buildings and each other. Including those scraps, which prior scenes were building up to, would not have pushed G14 into the meaningless monster mash that many creature films fall into. It's also a shame the final battle was at night when Godzilla looked incredible walking to the bay in direct sunlight.

There's this fine line that commercial filmmakers tread where you know if you have an insanely popular actor and you kill them off early it's going to not just be a solid performance but also is going to make a lot of folks just viscerally sad and give them a really powerful experience - but then sometimes you get an actor that's so beloved and you kill them and people just get pissed the gently caress off.

The home release was also way too dark and this has never been fixed. If any movie is underrated, it's Skull Island. No one hardly talks about it but its easily the best Kong film since the original.

The teasing and cutting away in 14 deeply frustrated me, especially with the "tut tut children, JAWS never showed the shark*!" justifications from the director. I feel like it could have worked if handled differently but it felt like an active disdain for the audience who wanted to see the monsters more. There were so many incredible shots and scenes with the kaiju that I would have absolutely believed they could get another few more in without diminishing them. *I haven't seen Jaws in a while but my recall is that when they finally showed Jaws, they didn't shy away from it for the rest of the movie when it was called for.

I like most of G14 but it has issues particularly with the human characters. As a Godzilla movie that's not out of the ordinary but it does hurt a Hollywood style blockbuster. I also think a lot of it comes down to Gareth Edwards as director. He's great at doing large scale action and conveying awe, but the man isn't a very good director when it comes to actual people. Krennic is a good character in Rogue One despite Edwards' weak actor direction.

Shiroc posted:"tut tut children, JAWS never showed the shark*!" All else aside, there's also pretty much a canyon of difference between the writing of Jaws and G'14. Playing hide the monster is fine, but you've gotta make sure the rest of your movie keeps the audience interested.
