The original, gojira, is about a monster wrecking Japan and everyone dealing with that. The human elements are to give you something to relate to and plot structure, but it's all in service of the monster.

The original Gojira is about Japan coming to terms with the reality and after-effects of nuclear warfare. It's very much about the people and less about a big lizard.


bushisms.txt posted:

Jaws is about a shark terrorizing a family man. The series even makes this explicit as it goes on. That's why the intro is about the shark killing people and not him watching it kill people.

No it isn't? The shark's not eating people to gently caress with Brody and his family, even if that pops up in Jaws 4. There's enough to infer that Brody's marriage is pretty rocky and he's not the best father. There's more man vs. nature than anything. Hell, the novel has Brody's wife have an affair with Richard Dreyfuss's character. Movie Brody is obsessed with trying to fulfill a role of order in his community and trying to control the chaos of nature. His family is pretty secondary throughout.

They’re kind of weird toys in that they’re 6 inches but wanted to have the detail of 12 inches. Sometimes they look a little janky, but for the most part they look good. The ghostbusters are kind of not great though.

Depends on the figure. I think the Dredd ladyeye got me was like 70-80, Daredevil is probably the same

The fancy punisher they did with a million gund and a duffel bag and body armor was at least 120

Oh hey, looks like there was another mass shooting today. This time at a school in Florida. 20 injured. Fatalities unknown, shooter still being reported as "at large".

I'm sure the problem isn't guns this time either.

Nope, I meant JAX, the airport in Jacksonville, FL. We also just shorten Jacksonville to Jax. Or Jack-n-Kill.

But I figured there was a miscommunication a while back.
