Arcsquad12 posted:Well I for one wouldn't mind if more movies cut to out of context Kaiju battles when things start to get boring. Don't like aliens fighting humans? Just cut to king Cesar roundhouse kicking anguirus at Godzilla and then cheering like he scored a field goal. Marvel comics kinda did this during an X-Men run. While the A-plot was going in the issue they would cut to single one page splash of The Phoenix fighting Galactus then go immediately back to the story. They did this across a couple of issues, if I remember right.

G14 would have been better if Jared Keeso's cameo hadn't been as the jumpmaster but as his character from Letterkenny. Small-town Ontarians versus Kaiju.

That whole line is amazing. The box art was by a famous painter of kaiju and ultras and M1 got him to do a series for new releases of those tricycles (the originals were in the 60s-70s) and he passed away right after he completed the art. I really wish M1 would make prints, because I would buy a high quality giclee of the Matango trike box art.

I just finished watching the final Godzilla Earth movie on Netflix. It keeps the slow pace for sure, but I found it to be a satisfying ending even though the movies, like Godzilla in this series, is lumbering and clumsy. Better than the second film for sure but still not a must see or anything. Glad I watched it, but I doubt I'll ever see them again.

They probably changed the spine yeah. It’s a “new” figure but not by much. S’okay though. It’s a nice one and if you want a jumbo Zilla in your house, he’s a good one to have. NECA will do an update I imagine, but I think I’ll pass. I’m totally fine with the 2014 version, unless they do an atomic blast one. Speaking of, I got the Atomic Blast Shin Godzilla and he’s neat and very sticky for some reason .

GATOS Y VATOS posted:Ramen Pride! is there any markings on the bottom of that figure's feet at all? If so, please take a photo and I can tell you if it's a Japanese maker or not. Nope! Just blank. But I don't really care, this thing has so much walleyed personality it's hilarious. I found one that looks really similar on AliExpress, but it doesn't have a chronic case of derpy pinkeye like mine.

Well, having looked it's not that much of a spoiler given it just confirms some of the vague scenes in the second trailer. Still if you want to go in blind don't check the link.

I started introducing the lady friend to Godzilla - went with '54, then Rodan and Mothra, and we'll hit Ghidorah this weekend. Mothra was her favorite out of the three, despite having a very strong reaction to the special effects. She was literally yelling "FAKE!" at the TV every time she saw a tank roll up.

Is Mothra popular with women? I assume probably as popular as kaiju could be.

Open Marriage Night posted:Is Mothra popular with women? I assume probably as popular as kaiju could be. It certainly influenced some of Toho's decision making in the Heisei series: Wikipedia for Godzilla vs Mothra posted:After the success of Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, producer Shōgo Tomiyama and Godzilla series creator Tomoyuki Tanaka proposed resurrecting King Ghidorah in a film entitled Ghidorah's Counterattack, but relented when polls demonstrated that Mothra was more popular with women, who comprised the majority of Japan's population. Goji's only begotten son Minilla was also created in an attempt to appeal to women, supposedly.
