Lurdiak posted:I've known that since the Malcolm in the Middle days. Counterpoint: Godzilla 2014 rules. But yeah, it would have been way better if the son had died instead of the father. Then Cranston would be consumed by rage, that the Muto's had taken first his wife, then his kid, until the end when Godzilla avenges his family and he finds peace in Godzilla and is absolved.

I just can't believe there are all these scenes of the son just being a soldier with other soldiers and nothing at all is happening other than proper military procedures. It felt like I was watching something made for internal use by the Marine Corps.

Lurdiak posted:Plus we wouldn't have had all those scenes of the son. Yeah, that's kinda what I meant. Like, I don't think they brought the movie down that much, but Cranston is in a whole 'nother tier of actors from Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Cranston and Watanabe were the highlights of the film, aside from the big G himself.

It'd be fine if it was a joke, like Shin with all the bureaucracy stuff, but instead we just sort of watch the military do things militarily and that is all

So Brett Ratner came out swinging against the pervasive effect RottenTomatoes can have with audiences, basically a weird emphasis on performance rather than critique, and putting that out there is good.. but on the other hand, it's Brett Ratner.

Snak posted:Counterpoint: Godzilla 2014 rules. An old man who had a successful and happy family life taken from him has no animus against the MUTO nuclear family. It's just a very broad revenge concept. It's hard to imagine Godzilla as a stand in for Cranston's son, so the movie's whole concept has to be reworked. Tuxedo Catfish posted:a godzilla movie where the army is competent and relatively prepared is doing something very wrong Nah. That's the joke. Since this is from a US and not Japanese perspective, the military is seen as competent and brave and resourceful - but it's irrelevant, they can't win anyway

DeimosRising posted:It's hard to imagine Godzilla as a stand in for Cranston's son, I'm imagining it right now and it would be amazing. But seriously all you'd need to rework for the story to work with Cranston instead of boring soldier man is to have Cranston misplace the blame of the loss of his family onto Godzilla for a good part of the film, and then when he realizes the Mutos were actually to blame and that Godzilla has something like a conscience, he shifts his mad scientist efforts to the right side of the conflict.

Doomsday is probably a "highlight" for their garbage animated movies. glam rock hamhock posted:Teen Titans Go is pretty cool but it is also hated by the fan base (and it feeds off that hate) When I'm doing dishes or cleaning my living room I'll occasionally through this on tv as background noise (if it's playing live, otherwise it's true crime time baby), and they recently showed the "1 Fan" episode and it pretty funny how much the show poked fun at itself and "fans"

And the Army is a total joke in Godzilla' 14. Even Brody can't to disarm the bomb that he's specifically there to disarm.

Shin Godzilla also delivers the goods, while Godzilla 14 skips over a loving fight scene it spends 10 minutes building up.

Snak posted:Speaking of Power Rangers... I knew Bryan Cranston was in the new movie. But until I saw him on Colbert (on youtube) yesterday, I had no idea he had been in Power Rangers before. yeah the number of uncredited folks who did monster voices in the early seasons is insane they did it because saban catered the poo poo out of MMPR, iirc

Well, in the existing film, Godzilla is in a thematic surrogate father role. In this suggested change, just because we're swapping the father's and son's deaths, doesn't mean we're swapping Godzilla into a surrogate son role. No, the father would blame God.

That reminds me, a little earlier I uploaded a photo to Imgur and was recommended a picture in the sidebar of what was clearly a dead baby. The story attached was of a man whose baby was born 5 months premature. The entire thing was this weird capsule of internet 'culture' where we have someone sharing something way too goddamn personal with the internet for likes, people telling him it's hosed up to post those pictures, people saying the people saying it's hosed up should shut up, people posting image memes of Loki and members of the Avengers saying 'Farewell', and people saying how beautiful this 4 month-year-old fetus looks. It's the weirdest goddamn thing. Dissapointed Owl fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Mar 23, 2017 |
