i mean i thought his voice was fine
That's not actually his real voice. His real voice is much deeper.
I really hope this isn’t Gorosaurus’es voice tho
We need a petition to get the talking meteor to appear in the next Godzilla movie.
i knew something about that dinosaur was familiar, i just couldn't put my finger on it for some reason
I’m sure Gorosaurus was excited to find out he was playing Godzilla in singular point, (and disappointed that he wasn’t Godzilla ultima.)
That meteor’s face! It’s ummm… definitely the face a meteor could have.
HinikunaGoji,
Something I want to emphasize though is that Godzilla films and stories have not always highlighted radiation or the bomb. Going back to what I said about the Godzilla series being a run of stories about how Japan is handling the aftermath of the bomb, I want to point at a movie that has no explicit ties to radiation: All Monsters Attack.
I'll side-step the debate over the film's quality for a moment and focus on its themes. It's a deconstruction of the Japanese nuclear family in the 1960s & '70s, showing what they had to deal with because of the one-sided economic situation. While technically there was an economic boom at the time, all of the money was going to big corporations. Japan had shifted into democratized capitalism as opposed to the feudal version they had maintained during WWII.
By the 1960s modern capitalism in Japan was barely 30 years old and the number reaping its benefits was uneven. All Monsters Attack highlights this with families living in downtrodden/polluted areas, tiny apartment homes, parents who are both working and unable to raise their children, crime on the rise, etc.
All of that to say, All Monsters Attack may not have anything to do with the bomb or even WWII. But the film highlights some of the many cascade effects the bomb had on post-war Japan. Japan's defeat by the bomb led to Milo Rowell and Courtney Witney westernizing Japan's constitution and, by extension, their economic system. This system constricted many families in the '60s until the bubble finally burst in 1992 when the Japanese stock market crashed. Post-American occupation, Japan was left to their own devices in order to cope with these new systems--Setting them up for failure in the long run.
It has nothing to do with the bomb or radiation, but what better character to highlight these post-war pains than Godzilla? I think there's plenty of places Godzilla can go, and has gone (thematically), that relates back to Japan's defeat without directly being tied into the bomb/radiation.
It seems more disconnected though. The mentions of radiation we get at all is a chart showing Godzilla’s contamination after atomic breath and a mention of the element radon (which is radioactive.)
I was going to finish the thought I do think that even if not said radiation is very applicable in the story. Archetype clouds do seem to stylistically resemble mushroom clouds. But I think the most poignant example could be the scene where professor li dies. There’s a bomb like cloud and Rodan come soon after. The survivors hide under what appears to be thick concrete
I’d just like more of an implied connection. I think directly stating it might ruin it, but implying it would add a whole lot to the origin
HinikunaGoji,
Given that there's still a great deal yet to be resolved in Singular Point, the nagging question of why monsters appeared in our dimension has the opportunity to alleviate these issues. And if not there's still enough post-war and (oddly enough) pre-WWII thematic elements that keep it tied to the monster and its kin. As I've said before, it's less about the bomb and more about the figurative fallout that followed. Godzilla may have been born of the bomb, but he existed in the post-war, which is by and large what the series has been about.
The Monsterverse was problematic with how it played with the subject of radioactivity/the bomb from the get-go. But after King of the Monsters I'm convinced it shouldn't even bother--Though GvK is not a suitable alternative. If there are to be more, I hope it angles its themes with more significant thought.
I love singular point, but I really want this resolved
Yeah kind of like G-Energy but its T-energy
HinikunaGoji,
In Japan? My guess is not much longer. It's just not pulling enough attendance by this point. I'd give it another two weeks.
How long do you think it will be In Theaters
UPDATE 08/24/2021:
Godzilla vs. Kong continues to hang on at the Japanese box office. The film managed another $200,000 between its 7th and 8th weekends, currently sitting at 1.88 Billion Yen. ($17.2 Million)
In its 8th weekend attendance sits at 1.25 million--A little higher than expected, but unlikely to hit 1.30 million. (Kogyotsushin via World of KJ)
monsterzero9 it’s not a list for a future monster but an idea they had
monsterzero9
I appear to be in the minority that thinks it isn’t confusing
i played it, got pretty far in it, then my ipads software had to update and i lost all my progress :(
GODZILLA SINGULAR POINT IS NOW ON NETFLIX! -and it is HELLA CONFUSING!
monsterzero9 has returned! ha-ha!
Another one that I missed that was pointed out by CinemaWins, during the scene where Madison, Bernie, and Josh enter the Apex facility (right before they find the Skullcrawler eggs) you can hear an announcement stating "Maglev shuttle departure to Roswell, New Mexico". So that's another potential hint at aliens in the MonsterVerse.
To me, the reason why it did good is because the MonsterVerse has the least conflict compared to the MCU, DC, etc
It's true I'm okay with that too.
Gareth Edwards Nod To CE4K
In the scene where Joe and Ford see the helicopters, just before first seeing the plant, the OST music playing is almost note for note the same music from the same scene in Close Encounters Of The Fourth Kind when Roy and Jillian are seeing the helicopters, and first seeing the hidden base.
Wow, very nice assessment.
Especially with the success of shin Godzilla and singular point with both appealing to the general public, it seems plausible
Jack CapelliniThis is true for America, I can see a cinematic universe about Godzilla doing better in japan
Made this account just to say Gman and Duratok are 100% correct. Max Borenstein is a hack writer. His inability to write characters and his consistency in being inconsistent toward the themes of this series are mind numbing and setting the franchise back. I literally cannot get excited for new projects as long as his name is still attached as a writer. He may not be the only one writing these films, and yes Michael Dougherty did the screenplay for KotM, but a guy can only be on so many sinking ships before you start to connect dots and try and keep him off future cruise rides.
Remember when 2014 was being praised by fans even though that film was 90% about the human characters? Now we've just completely walked back and get hyped at the prospect of 2 straight hours of monsters? Shame.

UPDATE 08/16/2021:
Because Godzilla vs. Kong is no longer in the top 10, weekend grosses will no longer be an option. The good news is 7th weekend estimates have been adjusted and Godzilla vs. Kong has hit 1.86 Billion Yen ($17 Million). The film has actually surpassed Godzilla: Tokyo SOS's attendance with 1.23 million. (Kogyotsushin)
I've actually been thinking about this..
not finished yet but will update if your interested
I see your point but I think 682s ability to regenerate is based in its Ability to from itself. Each molecule (no matter the state) recognizes how to build 682, and will use existing atoms to do so until it can self replicate. Maybe under stress caused by extreme heat or situations 682 becomes the aforementioned state of matter
