Professor Watashi: "Amazing! It seems it might indeed be possible for men to understand the motivations and mannerisms of a creature that appears so terrifying and alien. If only... No, it can't be helped. I'm sure a woman like Colonel Vixen would never pay attention to what a loser like me has to say."

Well, I guess "seriously" in the sense that it isn't a gag romance or a blanket statement that incest is the best or w/e. It'd rather focus on the tragic and melodramatic elements, I suppose like a soap.

Truthfully, my only experience with the series was the manga, thinking it was not nearly condemning enough, reading the Wikipedia episode summary of the end, and thinking "well that sounds a bit better, I think?"

An Anno Godzilla would be great because I'd much rather see humans working together to defeat Godzilla than see Godzilla save us from other monsters.

What about Godzilla fighting against a giant robot made by humans turned evil due to having an older godzillas spine in it?

Or the humans discover ancient Atlantean technology and Godzilla is the only one that can stop them from ultimately destroying the earth.

The first mothra movie is one of my fave from that period of Toho productions, but yeah, American Godzilla is a steaming pile

I liked the one from last year, at least it didn't have Mathew Broderick in it. Though at that point I guess I was assuming there weren't going to be any more Japanese Godzilla's.

I recently got the original on a Criterion BD. I had never seen it in Japanese and it was pretty great.

The problem with any American version of Godzilla is that American studios are way too worried about how good their special effects look, to the point where all the scenes involving Godzilla are super tight shots of cgi skin, or 80% darkness so you can't see any of the action with real clarity, so everyone just looks extremely boring. The Japanese studios are determined to use practical effects forever because that's the always been the history and focus, which is way cooler. Give me dudes in rubber suits destroying models any day of the week.

New American Godzilla was pretty good. Godzilla was aweesome, he hosed up a bunch of poo poo and fought those weird monsters, it was great.

It's definitely coming out before 4 considering that movie is basically on hiatus as he works on Godzilla
