This show does a remarkable job of juggling its plot lines, but there's one thing I think I missed: where's the facility with the kaiju trying to climb out of the giant red dust well? Is that the one in India they keep referencing?

The show is deliberately obfuscating things to preserve the mystery, but that's my assumption. Creepy grey-haired guy having an Indian roommate (?) and Indian furniture points to it if nothing else.

Also, (ep 8) hype for Godzilla finally showing up and Jet Jaguar coming fully on-line! It shocked the hell out of me when Godzilla blew the gently caress out of Tokyo like that. They really underplayed the damage afterwards.

I'm not too big on Godzilla lore, but is it possible that the super calculator is actually OG Godzilla's skull just like King Gadorah's skull was used as a super computer in Kong vs Godzilla?

That's the fansubs I've been using, and they've been fine. Not that I'd really be able to notice mistranslations given how dense the techobabble in this show is, but I haven't spotted any glaring grammatical errors at least.

On the topic of technobabble, I feel like this is one of the few shows that does it really well. I'm not a fan of dense exposition in most cases, but SP throws its (undoubtably bullshit) science at the viewers at such a high pace and with such style and confidence that it becomes an art of its own. The constant theorizing is never visually boring, and the writer clearly put a lot of thought into every aspect.

Show's good, is what I'm saying.

The fun part is that none of what’s been explained is fiction, it’s just higher level math and physics. Archetype just happens to be written in away that allows you to pull off fantastic things because that’s how crazy things get at higher dimensional and quantum physics tier science. Toh Enjoe is a loving mad lad for making one of the hardest science fiction shows out of a series like Godzilla.

I’m just glad I’m friends with people who actually know what the show is trying to reference and explain.

The real downside is that even the Netflix sub downplays some of the science. But even still this is a hella refreshing show.

Yeah G:SP is becoming one of my favorites of the franchise and legit one of the best sci-fi shows made. THIS is the kind of content I've been desiring for years.

Show doesn't belabor many character details but I thought it was clear enough from her introduction.

Thanks for clarifying. I'm going to blame that on bad subs probably definitely being the culprit.

I really like it because it’s loving horrifying. I am excited to really see the full reveal of the “atomic” breath next episode (not just the build up) and hopefully the explanation of how it exists. I’ve been loving the science talk. Also, Professor Li :ohdear:

I love the "wait that's it?" fake out with the first breath.

Judging from the conversation of recombined snippets this story is going to be resolved by, as is traditional, shooting Godzilla full of science.

After getting Jet Jaguar and GodzillaUltima I stopped myself from buying more or else I'd just want all of them. Now I think I want one of each Godzilla form

As soon as they revealed that Dr Lee has access to a special material that defies regular physics and Mei is the only one who really understands it it was pretty much inevitable


E: my crazy unsupported fan theory is that if li'l bitty Jet Jaguar figures out how to grow to Godzilla-size then so should Mei's little robot assistant Pelops 2 .......... who will turn into MOGUERA

I mean, he's a bigger rear end in a top hat than the Mutos in a lot of ways, and he was still the protagonist there.

Godzilla varies from film to film, but he's sometimes outright heroic, and often just kind of pissed at everyone rather than evil. It's pretty much a coinflip what you're dealing with.

Hey they can kick trashcans over in Tokyo as much as they'd like but I should have been clearer; snakigator face isn't so much villainous as it is generically villainous. It's a mook's face. The face of a monster that's gonna get torn off, caved in, or fried off to highlight the real monster.

I watched Mothra vs. Godzilla yesterday and he was definitely the villain in that. It was funny seeing him wailing about when the baby Mothras were biting the poo poo out of his tail though, good stuff.
