TEACH ME HOW YOU DO THAT! I’m literally dying. Is Z brush easier to use than blender?

The GhidoGoji suits are my top favorites. This looks like it's based off the Hokkaido GhidoGoji--My favorite of the two used in the film.

 Thanks. Yeah, I really like the eldritch concept of ghidorah. But trying to do it better. Yes, 3d modeling and animation are stupidly hard. I spent the beginning of today trying to make a 3d model of AuroraGoji and I died inside.

SasquaDashGodzilla ForumThoughts On The Unmade Godzilla 1998 Sequel?

G. H. (Gman)

True, as interesting as the unmade sequel could cave been, I'm glad they made the animated series instead (I personally really like that series). Although there are ideas in this script that I would have like to seen, the scenes with Zilla caring for his babies (especially the Minya-like runt) could have been really cute, and the scenes with the insectoids attacking sounded pretty cool.

Still I'm glad that Toho was able to make the Millennium series. In a way we did get to see a similar concept to the insect swarm and the Queen B**** with the meganulon and Megaguirus.

@Gman, I think we should start! Anniversaries of classic Toho films and fan reaction. Would be good to shed light on some of the lesser talked about films in the series.

I really wanted to love this movie and lied to myself for a few years. Then Godzilla 2000 came out and the fog cleared. I think I subconsciously thought that 1998 might be the last ever Godzilla movie and I HAVE to like it.

Eh, I'm glad the 1998 failure gave us the Millennium series instead.

Besides the animated series probably pulled off the basic tenants of this concept better than a full on, live-action production would have.

I didn't really hate it, after all it's the first Godzilla film I ever saw. However I do feel that it is disrespectful to Godzilla as an iconic character, and it tried to create its own monster and call it 'Godzilla'. If the film was a remake of 'The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms' I probably would have liked it.

Well, we do have the animated series, which did use some ideas from this script.

One on hand, I think that they should make another sequel for the enjoyment of the fans who liked it. On the other hand, they might get even more backlash from the fan base just like the prequel did.

@SarcasticGoji Yooo that pic looks amazing. I'm also trying to learn 3D animation and learn ZBrush to make a little episode of something in the future. In summary my idea revolves around a cataclysm caused by Ghidorah.

Honestly, I always enjoyed the movie, mainly due to nostalgia (it played a big role in my childhood). It was the first giant monster movie I ever saw. I had quite a bit of toys from the movie, some of which I still have (a couple of the babies and a Taco bell figure) and some that sadly did not last (particularly a 3D eraser and a "Power Blast Godzilla" remote control figure). It was the movie that helped make me the Godzilla/Monster movie fan I am Today, so I could never dislike it.

Was it a faithful Godzilla movie? No.

Was it a good movie? Not particularly.

Is it an enjoyable movie. In a ways, Yes. 

I think the movie had some cool ideas. The idea of a giant monster laying hundreds of eggs and the fear that these creatures could continue to multiply to the point that they could become the dominant species, wiping out humanity and other creatures, is kind of a cool premise. The problem was that it didn't fit Godzilla.

To be honest, I actually think that the first 30 minutes of the movie is really good. It does a great job at building up the creature and setting a somewhat mysterious tone. However, the movie starts to fall apart after the creature itself is revealed and you realize that it's not the true Godzilla. Ironically the movie starts out really similar to the 1954 film, a group of fishing ships are attacked, one of the survivors links the disaster to an old legend of  a sea monster known as "Gojira", and there's even a scene where the creature comes ashore at a village with the military investigating the aftermath of the attack and finding giant radioactive footprints (which if you look on Google Earth/Maps those footprints are still there on Kualoa Ranch). 

Honestly, after 23 years, I don't think it deserves the hate anymore. it was a massive misfire, I get why fans were outraged at the time, but constantly throwing hatred at it now is kind of pointless. And I don't think it's fair to criticize it for being different especially now, considering how different and experimental some of the more recent Toho entries are (Seriously, I'd take a mutant iguana laying eggs over a metallic plant thing that barely does anything). And at least some of the people involved, have admitted to their mistakes, unlike the crew behind a certain anime trilogy who continue to show distain for the fandom, insulting them for not being "smart enough" to get it, and viewing themselves as above the franchise... but I'm not here to rant about that. 

Overall, while the fanbase can still dislike the film, I don't think that it still deserves the hate. It happened, it's been 23, it's time to get over it.

I chose because of the “Go with the coolest looking one then” Not because of your pick.

@Monster_Zero, you actually took those videos inside the movie theater? That’s cool! Also, @SarcasticGoji I think iron giant looks a lot cooler than gypsy avenger.

I never viewed this film as a Godzilla movie, not even once. I think that’s why I liked it. I watched it after I watched 2014 so I knew it was and never will be a Godzilla film. I treated it like any other big monster film.
